29 04 2010

Margarita lost 26 lbs and a total of 21 inches; Mary lost 6 lbs and 14 inches overall…this kind of success is standard when working one-on-one with clients.

Spring workout

25 03 2010

It’s no newsflash: To create a body that moves energetically and without pain or stiffness AND looks great takes work.

What is new; to understand how to stage your workout program. It doesn’t take skill to just pick up a weight and start moving it. But it does take skill to move it in such a way that it helps you  achieve your goal objective. And for that, you may need knowledge about how to move that weight properly. A dysfunctional movement pattern doesn’t move you closer to your goal. Keep this in mind when starting an exercise program.

Spring weather is around the corner on the East Coast. The birds are chirping at 5:15 am and the days are getting warmer (like this past weekend). You are feeling to get out and about and ready to start being active.

Shorts are out, leaves and buds are peeking out, flip flops are on…there’s a new beginning in the air; all at once at the same time. It is no wonder my inquiries for diet programs and workout sessions increase. The perfect butt, the perfect arms, shoulders, and a smaller midsection should be accomplished within 4 weeks. Doable? Yes, depending at which stage you are starting (250 lbs or 116 lbs). Read the rest of this entry »





Clean eating – The ins, the outs; the do’s and the don’ts and the do’s

10 03 2010

It is obvious from the get-go that clean eating is not a scientific term. What means clean eating for one person means something else for somebody else. In today’s environment, we have many individuals who are focused on eating clean foods. Yet, what it means to eat clean foods has to be determined on an individual basis.

Still, there are general rules that apply when it comes to eating clean foods. Here are some myths and facts when it comes to clean eating: Read the rest of this entry »

25 02 2010

Ever looked in the mirror and wished that you looked younger? A wrinkle there, a midsection that can’t  belong to you or a body tone that can no longer pass for  a 20 or a 30 year old?

Do you need Botox? Surgery? Liposuction? A skilled dermatologist? Or are there other strategies that you can do right now to make you Look Younger Naturally?

Announcing A Contest for Insane Motivational Weight Loss

16 12 2009

Sometimes, we all need a kick in the butt to get things done. In my 15-plus years working with individuals on body shaping and weight loss, I have heard amazing things that individuals do when gaining weight.  But also have I seen amazing results when strategies were implemented and followed.

The past week was one of those weeks where clients had to be forced into taking measurements. Alright, yes, I know, I am terrible because I require taking measurements every 4 weeks.

The two measurements that I take: 1) Read the rest of this entry »





Breakfast (post-holidays) for weight loss

2 12 2009

Once again, Thanksgiving was a feast. Each year, over a hundred thousand Americans overeat during the holiday time. The next day, food is the last thing that many think about. But then there are the leftovers. How about a little pie for breakfast? It is too good to go to waste. And the feast continues.

Weight loss is on many on our minds during this time. But the call to the dinner table wins out over the call to the gym. There we have a dilemma: Too stuffed to workout. Leftovers linger for days. And relaxation and catching up with friends and family is priority number one.

What to do? Start small. Make an effort Read the rest of this entry »

Holidays are a time to relax, enjoy your leisure time and…gain weight.

That doesn’t have to be. I refuse to let you gain weight. Why? Because I care and you are on my mailing list.

Losing weight and staying in shape does not take an entire day. It doesn’t take 3 to 4 hours or even 1 hour. It can take as little as 30 to 40 minutes a day when Read the rest of this entry »





Foods that are fattening

5 11 2009

The 80’s really did us in with the low- carb and low-fat diet fads. Are you still still among the individuals who believe that certain foods make you fat? Even great foods such as olive oil and avocado? Both of those have monounsaturated fats that have shown to lower LDL and prevent cardio- vascular diseases.

There is a widespread fear, even today, that certain foods will automatically turn into fat. One of these food groups is Read the rest of this entry »
