<br />
I’ve got a special guest article below from my buddy and Nutritionist “<a href="http://www.mensfitnessandmore.com/contributors/josh-bezoni-burn-belly-fat/">Coach Josh</a>” that will reveal these flat-belly roadblocks.<br />
<br />
The 3 Reason You Can’t Kill Belly Flab<br />
<br />
Doctors agree that internal belly flab is the most deadly kind of body fat there is. Studies show it dramatically increases the chance of illness such as heart disease, diabetes, certain cancers, Alzheimer’s, stroke, and even depression (suicide).<br />
<br />
And if that wasn’t bad enough, that dreaded belly bulge makes us look unattractive and it can demolish our self-esteem and confidence to boot.<br />
<br />
But, what makes this situation even more frustrating is the fact that belly flab is considered by many to be the most stubborn and impossible weight to penetrate and burn. It’s like the “Fort Knox” of body fat. Here’s why:<br />
<br />
<b>PROBLEM #1: Your Hormones Are Out of Whack:</b> Chronic stress causes your body to release a fat-storing hormone called cortisol. The more cortisol your body releases, the more belly flab you store. Plus, eating the wrong foods causes the fat-storing hormone insulin to skyrocket, while a fat-burning hormone called glucagon gets turned off. (Hello, belly flab!)<br />
<br />
<b>PROBLEM #2: Your Belly-Burning Furnace Is Busted:</b> When you want to lose a lot of weight, you should cut calories for long periods of time, right?<br />
<br />
WRONG.<br />
<br />
Cutting calories magnifies nutrient deficiencies in your body. This results in severe cravings as your brain sends emergency “low nutrient signals” to your stomach to eat more food.<br />
<br />
Problem is, most people end up eating more “nutrient-dead food” which causes cravings to completely spiral out of control. (If you feel hungry all the time, now you know why.)<br />
<br />
After about a week of dieting, your body is genetically programmed to fight back by lowering the hormones responsible for keeping your metabolism humming along (like the calorie-burning thyroid hormones). At the same time, it will increase the “hunger hormone” leptin. (Double whammy.)<br />
<br />
As a result, your weight loss will come to a screeching halt, lickity split.<br />
<br />
At this point, to keep burning fat you’ll be forced to reduce your calories even lower, and/or do MORE exercise. (Not fun… I’ve been there.)<br />
<br />
<b>PROBLEM #3: Your Food Is Laced with Obesity Additives</b>: GIANT food manufacturers make BIG bucks creating “Frankenstein foods” that are stripped of belly-burning nutrients and stuffed full of dirt-cheap, artificial preservatives that make your belly bulge.<br />
<br />
I call these chemicals Obesity Additives and studies show:<br />
They cause a mineral imbalance that results in bloating and excess water weight.<br />
They addict us by altering brain chemicals called neurotransmitters – just like the street drugs cocaine, morphine and nicotine do!<br />
<br />
They cause pounds of “toxic waste” to accumulate in our digestive tracks. (Believe me, that belly bulge or “pooch” is not all belly flab.)<br />
<br />
Those are the 3 BIG obstacles keeping you from EVER getting a flat belly. But don’t worry: there are 3 SNEAKY TRICKS you can use to quickly overcome these MAMMOTH problems.<br />
<br />
Here is the first one<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"></span><br />

Thanks to Women's Health magazine contributor, Craig Ballantyne and my friend I have just the perfect program for you.<br />
<br />
Oh by the way my friend Craig =, you my have seen him in Shape magazine, Prevention, and Muscle n Fitness Hers. He does women's workouts in all those magazines.<br />
<br />
In 04 Craig created a program called "Booty for Life" for apersonal training client. And while that program was awesome, he spent an entire week last month improving the workouts AND adding a brand new 4-week fat burning, butt-firming phase to the program...<br />
<br />
...and he renamed it, "Booty for Wife (and all the single ladies!)".<br />
<br />
Why did he rename and redo the program?<br />
<br />
Well, the original name was bit of a joke, and it was a little too close to "Body for Life", and Craig didn't want anyone (i.e. Bill Phillips) to get upset when his Booty program got really popular. <br />
<br />
So he made a simple little name change...<br />
<br />
now he just has to hope that Beyonce doesn't sue him!<br />
<br />
But seriously, and more importantly, Craig updated the original program and added 3 new workouts and some booty-building exercises to the plan, including:<br />
<br />
- Lateral lunges<br />
- 1-leg bodyweight deadlifts<br />
- dumbbell lunges<br />
- kettlebell swings<br />
- dumbbell deep step-ups<br />
- 1-leg bodyweight bench squats<br />
<br />
Those go with all of the other booty exercises in the program, including split squats, 1-leg hip extensions, regular step-ups, and reverse lunges. <br />
<br />
And Craig subbed in more bodyweight exercises so you don't need to use dumbbells as much for the rest of the workouts. Some of the new exercises you'll get are:<br />
<br />
- Stability Ball Cross-Body Mountain Climber (great for abs/obliques)<br />
- Close-Grip 3/4 Rep Pushups (awesome for sculpting your triceps)<br />
- Stability Ball Pike (for hard-core abs)<br />
<br />
Plus, you'll get SIX different fat burning interval training <br />
programs, and interval training has been shown to reduce thigh fat<br />
in research studies.<br />
<br />
Whew. There's a lot in there for you, and to celebrate the re-release of Booty for Wife, I've asked Craig to put together an amazing special offer just for you.<br />
<br />
You'll get all of these for free...<br />
<br />
<b>1) The TT Booty for Wife (all the single ladies) 12-Week Program</b><br />
2) The TT Female Bodysculpting 4-Week Workout<br />
3) 30-Days in the TT Member's Website & Forum<br />
4) The TT for Hot Chicks 4-Week Workout<br />
5) The NEW "TT Bodyweight Cardio 3" Workout<br />
<br />
...when you get your half-price copy of the <i>Turbulence Training</i> for <b>Fat Loss Program</b> for only $19.95.<br />
<br />

So you could get Booty for Wife for $29.95 or you could get Booty for Wife plus Turbulence Training plus all of those other bonuses all for only $19.95.<br />

<br />
By the way, just listen to this incredible feedback on the program:<br />
<br />
<blockquote>"I just finished section 2 of the Booty for Wife series. I feel<br />
strong and super fit and I've gotten so many compliments lately<br />
that I know it has to be the program! I start the 3rd section<br />
tomorrow and it looks tough and I can't wait. I know that in 4<br />
weeks I'm going to be amazed at myself. And, I am so looking<br />
forward to doing the chin ups. I hoping I can do at least one to<br />
start and by 4 weeks I want to be doing 5 or more. This is a really<br />
great 3 month program and if you haven't tried it you really<br />
should." <br />

<br />
It's Jason, your Atlanta Personal Trainer and Fitness Expert with what may be the most important post I have ever or will ever put out.<br />
<br />
My buddy and fellow personal trainer, not in Atlanta, Craig of TT in Toronto passed this article along that he put together.<br />
<br />
Be sure to give it a good read it will change your body transformation results.<br />
<br />
my top 11 inspirational tips to help motivate you to stick to your fat loss plan and transform your body and life forever.<br />
<br />
<b>11. Never Give Up</b><br />
<br />
If you fall off the wagon, cut your losses. Don't let it weigh on your mind and hold you back because it's only minor damage that can be dealt with. The important thing is to get back on track, immediately. Never, ever, EVER give up. I believe in you.<br />
<br />
<b>10. Don't Procrastinate</b><br />
<br />
Do it now. Whether you're thinking of cleaning out the pantry or finally starting to exercise, STOP procrastinating and DO IT now!<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>9. Identify Exactly What It Is You Want...</b><br />
<br />
...then don't let anything stand in your way of getting it. By setting specific goals along with deadlines you are providing yourself with a measuring stick.<br />
<br />
<b>8. Do Your Best With Everything You Have Control Over </b><br />
<br />
Most people fail to control themselves, and end up only with regrets. We trade minutes of pleasure (i.e. fast food) for days, weeks, months, and years of regret. <br />
<br />
Remember that the pleasure of eating lasts for only minutes, but you inhabit your body 24 hours per day, 7 days per week for life.<br />
<br />
Rather than trying to "out-cardio" your bad diet, you must PLAN ahead to overcome obstacles. Otherwise, you'll never succeed.<br />
<br />
<b>7. Replace Bad Habits</b><br />
<br />
Everyday you will be tempted to fall back on old bad habits. To make a lasting change in your health and appearance you must do everything you can to resist that. Try adding a new healthy habit each day to replace an old unhealthy habit. <br />
<br />
<b>6. Be Consistent With Baby Steps</b><br />
<br />
The best approach is to build your life one positive step at a time and the way to do this is by taking baby steps to improvement each and every single day. Be a little better than yesterday.<br />
<br />
<b>5. Test</b><br />
<br />
There are no failures, only good and bad tests. <br />
<br />
You should always be trying something new, monitoring your body's response, and deciding whether or not that food or exercise belongs in your "tool box". Do everything you can to learn more about your body. The more you know, the faster your success will be.<br />
<br />
<b>4. Social Support and Role Modeling</b><br />
<br />
You can't soar with eagles if you're hanging around turkeys. <br />
<br />
By hanging around others who want to lose weight, you can leverage their knowledge, commitment, support, and success to push yourself harder than you otherwise would be able to.<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>3. Get Out Of Your Comfort Zone</b><br />
<br />
People will do almost anything to stay in their comfort zones. <br />
<br />
If you want to accomplish anything, get out of your comfort zone and strive to increase order and discipline in your life.<br />
<br />
Discipline means doing the opposite of what you feel like doing. Setting goals and deadlines are the easy roads to discipline.<br />
<br />
<b>2. Plan</b><br />
<br />
Planning is the ultimate key to fat loss success. <br />
<br />
With a weekly plan of meals and workouts in place, you will be much less likely to hit a road bump that takes you down the wrong path. Try setting aside one day a week to map out your weekly itinerary<br />
and you'll be amazed at how quickly your body transforms itself.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>1. Realize YOU Are In Charge of Your Success</b><br />
<br />
Og Mandino once said, "I shall shape my future. Whether I fail or succeed shall be no man's doing but my own. I am the force; I can clear any obstacle before me. Or I can be lost in the maze. My choice. My responsibility. Win or lose; only I hold the key to my destiny."<br />
<br />
Translation - Everyone can succeed and reach their goals. It's a just a matter of how badly you want it.<br />
<br />
I know you want it. And I know you can do it. And I'm really looking forward to your success.<br />

<br />
She was telling me about a unique trick that her female clients are using to get tight and defined arms. It's a fool proof plan actually and she calls it H.A.M.T (Hormonal Arm Manipulation Tactics)<br />

Melissa has her clients eat a certain amount of carbohydrates and healthy fat 30 minutes before their workouts. This ramps up several fat burning hormones that don't typically turn on with some of the more popular methods. Then she uses lactic acid flushing sets and reps to really optimize her clients hormones. Best of all, it doesn't matter what age you are or how many times that you've tried to get rid of your "bat wing" triceps. Melissa has made this work for her clients time and time again.<br />

<br />
The thought of having to do an additional 20-30 minutes of abdominal work after a regular workout can sometimes be enough for you to skip the ab training altogether. But, with these six upper<br />
body exercises, you'll gain all the benefits and more of a regular ab workout, without the extra time.<br />
<br />
This 15-minute upper body workout will not only build your arms, your chest, and your back, but every one of these exercises is also going to work your abdominals.<br />
<br />
So this workout will include as I mentioned 6 exercises, but they will be broken down into 3 supersets at 5 minutes each.<br />
<br />
So, the first superset will pair chin-ups with spiderman pushups.<br />
<br />
Now, just because these aren't specific abdominal exercises don't think your abs will walk away unscathed. I remember training a client before and a couple of days after doing the chinup exercise<br />
she commented how shocked she was that her abs were so sore. <br />
<br />
With proper form, the chin-up exercise can very powerfully target your abs.<br />
<br />
For proper form, begin in the dead hang position. Now, keeping your body tight, brace your abs and pull your body up and chin over the bar, then in a controlled fashion, lower your body down. You will<br />
noticeably feel this exercise working your lats and your biceps.<br />
<br />
Perform enough repetitions that take you until one short of failure. For example, if you can do 15 repetitions, then only do 14 and so on.<br />
<br />
After the chin-up exercise, you will move into the spiderman pushup. In this exercise, you will get into a regular pushup position, and then as you come down bring your knee up to your elbow and back down. Alternate sides.<br />
<br />
As previously noted, each superset pairing will be done in five minute intervals. Once finished with the first superset, move onto the next upper body combination of one-arm standing dumbbell shoulder press and heavy weighted dumbbell rows.<br />
<br />
For the one-armed shoulder press exercise, place the DB at shoulder height with your palm facing outward. Next, brace your abs and place your opposite hand on your side to ensure your obliques are<br />
working while pressing up with the DB. Do eight repetitions for one side, and then switch to the other side.<br />
<br />
Immediately after completing your repetitions for the shoulder press, move to DB rows. This time you will choose a weight you can normally do 10 times, but now try to get 12 repetitions. However, be sure to use only good form.<br />
<br />
By keeping your body and back in a straight position, you will end up working your abdominals very hard, especially as you get closer to failure and your obliques work against rotation. If you find that you need to take a 5-10 second rest after ten repetitions in order to use perfect form for the remaining two, then do that.<br />
<br />
Again, you will do this superset for five minutes going back and forth between these two exercises.<br />
<br />
To finish off the 15-minute workout, you'll do two arm exercises that simultaneously work your abdominals. The first exercise is the lying dumbbell triceps extension. Now, in order to get a good ab<br />
workout from this exercise, when you're at the bottom position, drop a little more and you stretch your abs. Then, bring the dumbbells back up overhead and repeat.<br />
<br />
That little extra stretch at the bottom of the exercise will really work your abdominals to give you that six pack abs look, much like the stability ball rollout when you stretch out at the end of that exercise.<br />
<br />
The final exercise is the one-armed standing dumbbell curl. For this exercise you want to begin in a braced position. Since you will be using a heavy weight, your abs will have to work very hard<br />
throughout this exercise. To get in proper position, if your right arm is working, then your left leg will be in front. You can do this exercise for 6-8 repetitions per side.<br />
<br />
That's the 15-minute upper body workout that will work your abs just as hard if not harder than any ab crunching workout you could possibly do.<br />

This has to be one of the more ridiculous exercise tools out there.

I believe there are few fundamental exercises everybody to fitness would benefit from as long as they are health. These few exercises will build a foundation for your fitness goals as you progress in your weight training and fat loss programs you'll be able to progress these exercises as well.<br /><br />Because I consider these exercises the cornerstone to any training program I think it's important to start doing them as quickly as possible. That way you become comfortable with them and you have a chance to learn the correct form and technique.<br /><br /><br />If you're fairly new to resistance training or weight training I suggest you check out what I consider to be the best five exercises to help you build muscle and burn fat.

It never has, it never will."<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"> You'll never out exercise a bad diet!</span><br /><br />Every woman I've ever met has made this mistake. They all have had that "cardio confessional mindset" at one time or another, guys are not excluded either.<br /><br />If lucky this young lady will probably burn around 300-500 calories from her walk, now that is if it is a long walk. On the other hand she's likely to eat an extra 400-700 calories at supper, that may just be the appetizer or drinks. quick side note, I'm assuming you had dinner refers to the meal and not a miserable dinner at the in-laws or something along those lines.<br /><br />It is crucial that everybody understand, one cardio session cannot make up for bad meal choices.<br /><br />Now you might be thinking, "At least it's better than nothing."<br /><br />But is it?<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.blogger.com/=%3E%20http://atltrainer.turbulence.hop.clickbank.net/?page=trialoffer"><img style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 218px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZ4Df8gzAwpjsEOQf3vzXzSrkZq1dJXEbdh45ZKTMCNjzCTVF-tIITuXAsywteJ4rbebnC404XuOyoFTydRKKMvjMmkeXlx0MGs9Vbeo0ZWKI8EIKrkTmYIOdHFqCbQcx1qdToLFh5Y2U/s320/can+not+out+run+a+bad+diet.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5443529691954541474" border="0" /></a><br />Remember, as I've mentioned in the past, one British study found that some people OVEREAT in response to cardio exercise.<br /><br />So when dinner comes around, this poor girl might think, "Oh, I did that long walk today, so I can treat myself to a bigger dinner or dessert."<br /><br />The only thing that comes close to beating a bad diet is interval training and resistance training.<br /><br />Back in 2007, an Australian research study on interval training was getting a LOT of press for the surprising results. In the study, women who did interval training were able to lose belly fat without changing their diet.<br /><br />In fact, one subject, named Louise, said this: "My diet was pretty bad back then, with lots of sweets, lots of junk food...doughnuts and sugar -- it was awful."<br /><br />And yet by the end of this study, interval training helped Louise burn 8kg of fat in just 15 weeks - WITHOUT changing her diet.<br /><br />Perhaps it IS POSSIBLE for you to out-train a bad diet - but only if you use interval training.<br /><br />And that's just another reason the best short, burst fat burning workouts are based on this specific type of fat burning exercise.<br /><br />So here's what you need to do:<br /><br /><ol><li>Give up the notion that cardio will fix a bad diet, and understand that you can't out jog a bad diet.</li><li>Stick to your simple lifestyle nutrition plan 90% of the time and then enjoy your 10% reward meals GUILT-FREE.</li><li>Use interval training to burn the fat and resistance training to sculpt your body.<br /></li></ol><br />It's that simple - a 3-step system for fat loss success that is guaranteed to work every time.<br /><br />Click the link below to try out a proven program that shows you EXACTLY what to do:<br /><br />click here => <a href="http://www.blogger.com/=%3E%20http://atltrainer.turbulence.hop.clickbank.net/?page=trialoffer">Try Turbulence Training</a><br /><br />Enjoy guilt-free eating and fat loss with this mindset.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="mailto:weightworkout@yahoo.ca?cc=jason@inthegym.info&subject=Atlanta%20Personal%20Training%20Question&">Contact me here</a></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07137389687575235459noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8232478469352577208.post-26848049803161044652010-02-24T15:06:00.002-05:002010-02-25T12:33:54.672-05:00Training Progression<h2 style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.mensfitnessandmore.com/2010/sustainable-progression/02/23/">How To Plan Strength Training Progression</a></h2> This is just quick introduction to progressive overload concepts and strength training.

Over time there has to be a greater demand placed on the body, or a progressive overload.<br /><br />Progressive overload is essential to training. Your body quickly adapts to resistance or weight training and before long your body will not respond to current stimulus.<br /><br />There are many ways you can develop a training program that will implement the principles of progressive overloads. One way and maybe the most common is to simply increase the weights. While this method is simple and common it is not always practical. You're currently using 10 pound dumbbells and jumped to 15 pounds that may be too much, and you may not be able to lift the weight.<br /><br />The second issue that comes from increasing weights is that the weight will add up quicker than your ability to move it. If you add just 5 pounds a week to say your squat, by the end of the year you're looking at about 250 pounds more than where you started. That's not realistic!<br /><br />If you don't have a certified personal trainer to help you develop programs that incorporate progressive overloading check out the article on my blog as it will give you some valuable insight.

Below are a few tips I sometimes use to as a Trainer to help people get the best fitness workout.<br /><br />By Charles Staley, B.Sc, MSS<br /> Director, <a href="http://www.staleytraining.com/ecm8/ezGaffurl.php?offer=atltrainer&pid=1">Staley Training Systems</a></span></b></span></b></span></b></span></b></span><a href="http://www.staleytraining.com/ecm8/ezGaffurl.php?offer=atltrainer&pid=1"><br /></a><p align="left"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;font-size:85%;color:#990000;"><b>A warm-up is to prepare yourself adequately for the intense work to come, without fatiguing yourself</b></span><span style="font-family:Tahoma;font-size:85%;">.<br /></span></p> <h2 align="left"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;font-size:85%;"><b><span style="font-size:130%;">Get into it mentally first: The Mental Warm-up</span></b></span></h2> <p align="left"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;font-size:85%;">The experienced athlete has been thinking about the impending workout all week. He’s rehearsed the workout dozens of times in his mind, and is already aware of the possible problems he might encounter (such as dealing with rush hour in the gym or a nagging hamstring pull that might kick up during the workout). </span></p> <p align="left"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;font-size:85%;">A novice trainee, on the other hand, can be identified by the fact that he doesn’t even know what he will do until he gets to the gym (and maybe not even then!). Since novices typically get novice-level results, I urge you to explore visualization and autogenic training, both of which are established methods of maximizing physical performance both in training and in competition. </span></p> <p align="left"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;font-size:85%;">Some people learn these techniques on their own, others need instruction. Either way, USE them!</span></p> <div align="left"> <ul><li><span style="font-family:Tahoma;font-size:85%;">If you’ll be training early in the morning, and/or if it’s cold out, beef up the warm-up process commensurately.<br /> <br /> </span></li><li><span style="font-family:Tahoma;font-size:85%;">Training in dry climates requires a more thorough warm-up than training in humid surrounds.<br /> <br /> </span></li><li><span style="font-family:Tahoma;font-size:85%;">Older trainees generally profit from more extensive warm-ups.<br /> <br /> </span></li><li><span style="font-family:Tahoma;font-size:85%;">If you are otherwise healthy but have “creaky” joints, err on the side of being too extensive with your warm-up. After all, the goal of being able to train takes precedence over the fact that you might fatigue yourself slightly with an extensive warm-up.</span></li><li><span style="font-family:Tahoma;font-size:85%;">The closer you venture toward 1RM in your workout, the more extensive your warm-up should be. In other words, do a more thorough warm-up for 5×5 than you would for 3×12.<br /> <br /> </span></li><li><span style="font-family:Tahoma;font-size:85%;">You can accelerate your warm-up through passive means such as a hot bath or shower. Although active means are superior to passive, often, a combination of the two leads to great results.<br /> <br /> </span></li><li><span style="font-family:Tahoma;font-size:85%;">On exercises where your own bodyweight is the minimal load possible (chins, dips, etc.), first warm up with similar exercises that allow lesser loads (e.g., lat pulldowns and decline bench presses), and then proceed to the target exercise, using multiple sets of 1 rep. As soon as the next set of 1 does not feel any easier than the set before it, you’re ready to proceed to your work sets.<br /> <br /> </span></li><li><span style="font-family:Tahoma;font-size:85%;">If you are executing exercises for antagonistic muscle groups “back to back” (such as training seated rows with triceps extensions), do your warm-up sets for these exercises in the same pattern that you’ll use for the work sets.<br /> <br /> </span></li><li><span style="font-family:Tahoma;font-size:85%;">If you’ve done it right, your middle work set(s) will feel the easiest. For example, when performing 5×8, the 3rd set should feel the best, and sets 4 and 5 should feel progressively more difficult. If your last sets feel the best, it indicates that your warm-up was not thorough enough. If your first work sets are easiest, you may have warmed-up too much.</span></li></ul> </div> <p align="left"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;font-size:130%;"><b>On to the Heavy Metal…</b></span></p> <p align="left"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;font-size:85%;">If you’ve followed my suggestions, you should now feel warm, strong, loose, and enthusiastic about training hard. It’s kind of amazing, isn’t it? Fifteen minutes ago you could barely tolerate the thought of a hard workout; now you’re looking forward to it!</span></p> <hr align="left" width="300"> <div align="left"><br /> <p align="left"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;font-size:85%;"><b><span style="font-size:130%;">About The Author</span></b></span></p> <p align="left"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;font-size:85%;">Charles Staley...world-class strength/performance coach...his colleagues call him an iconoclast, a visionary, a rule-breaker.

Not sure why but that is what I hear. Anyway this gave them a chance to use the TRX and get a workout in outside the gym.<br /><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.fitnessanywhere.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=SFNT&AFFIL=inthegym"><img src="http://www.fitnessanywhere.com/affiliates/assets/banners/OBL_300x250.gif" alt="TRX Suspension Trainer: As seen on The Biggest Loser." border="0" width="300" height="250" /></a></p> I have been using the TRX Gym Suspension Trainer for a few years now for myself and with clients but never had a chance to be on TV, or any mention, oh well. I think the TRX Gym Suspension Trainer is a great tool that is easy to use and travel with.<br /><p> Want to see how TRX can help get fit? Check out <a href="http://tinyurl.com/TrxWorkout">TRX Home Training Bundle</a></p><p style="text-align: center;">I guess the <a title="TRX Suspension Training Program" href="http://tinyurl.com/TrxWorkout" target="_self">TRX Suspension Training program</a> is being incorporated into the The Biggest Loser workouts now. I hear the two trainers like it giving the producers great feedback.</p> <p>I also hear that if you have been paying close attention to past episodes you could have seen the TRX Suspension Trainer in action before the big ouside episode.</p> <p> This is a quote from one of the trainers on the Biggest Loser</p><p><i>"I have been a trainer now for almost 20 years and I am constantly looking for new equipment. Now being a trainer on "The Biggest Loser", my workouts have to be effective and on the cutting edge. Thanks to the TRX, I got some really great workouts with my contestants this season. Watching them be challenged by working on something that requires such core strength, as well as shear FULL body strength, I knew I had a great piece of equipment on my hands. I really LOVE this piece of equipment!!!</i> "-Bob Harper </p></div><br /><br /></div><br /><br /><br /><embed src="http://services.brightcove.com/services/viewer/federated_f8/1408047000" bgcolor="#000000" flashvars="videoId=11302455001&playerId=1408047000&viewerSecureGatewayURL=https://console.brightcove.com/services/amfgateway&servicesURL=http://services.brightcove.com/services&cdnURL=http://admin.brightcove.com&domain=embed&autoStart=false&" base="http://admin.brightcove.com" name="flashObj" seamlesstabbing="false" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" swliveconnect="true" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" width="413" height="350"></embed><br /><br /><a href="mailto:weightworkout@yahoo.ca?cc=jason@inthegym.info&subject=Atlanta%20Personal%20Training%20Question&">Contact me here</a>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07137389687575235459noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8232478469352577208.post-50627030046003013602009-02-26T23:59:00.003-05:002009-02-27T00:13:06.194-05:0010 Best Ab Exercises<h1 style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://tinyurl.com/abTraining">Great Ab Exercises that do not include crunches</a></h1>Here are Men's Health expert Craig Ballantyne's 10 best ab exercises<br />that you can do without cables, ab crunches, or sit-ups.<br /><br /><br />1. Plank with your arms on the Ball (30% more effective than plain<br />ol' planks, according to Men's Health magazine)<br /><br />2. Ball Rollouts (probably my favorite ball ab exercise)<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://tinyurl.com/abTraining"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 250px; height: 291px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVgAV3AcczSRDthLTy6nrkPJ6umlGoD47v3u5J26p-gZq_hJVYSrEjS8znY5Sqrg__dh1X4juL6cQwZkyTHb3AYPNcRJ7IkYmFKhVFy29p8xoxtq8oNhZgqn5fHYkofnHkIvzNRP_a8rA/s400/cb_abs.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5307340513683024194" border="0" /></a><br /><br />3. Hanging Knee Raises (classic exercise that most folks do<br />wrong...but if done right, will work your abs safely and<br />effectively)<br /><br />4. DB Renegade Row (this is the biggest surprise on the list...but<br />it works your lower obliques incredibly hard)<br /><br />5. Ball Jackknife (always a tough one for beginners to get the hang<br />of...but when they do, they get a lot of six pack ab benefits)<br /><br />6. Ball Jackknife Rotation (a tougher version of the jackknife)<br /><br />7. Ball Jackknife-Pushup Combo<br /><br />8. X-Body Mountain Climber (one of my favorites...so simple yet so<br />effective)<br /><br />9. X-Body Mountain Climber with Hands on Ball<br /><br />10. X-Body Mountain Climber with Feet on Ball (an even more<br />effective version of the regular X-Body mountain climber)<br /><br />All of those exercises are in the programs at:<br /><br />=><a href="http://tinyurl.com/abTraining">http://tinyurl.com/abTraining</a><br /><br />Use only the best ab exercises to get more results,<br /><br />Jason<br /><br /><h1 style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://tinyurl.com/abTraining"><span><i><span style="color:black;"><i>5 Six Pack Ab Workout Myths</i></span></i></span></a></h1><br /><br /><a href="mailto:weightworkout@yahoo.ca?cc=jason@inthegym.info&subject=Atlanta%20Personal%20Training%20Question&">Contact me here</a>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07137389687575235459noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8232478469352577208.post-14022933953631790682009-02-24T10:44:00.004-05:002009-02-24T11:20:37.291-05:00Protein Supplement Review Report Card<div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate;

Find out just what organization performed the certification you will soon find that some ar better than others, some are just weekend classes, so beware.<br /></li></ul><br />There are about 400 organizations in the U.S. that purport to certify <a href="http://personaltraininginatlanta.com">personal fitness trainers</a>. Of those 400 or so only a handful are considered legitimate. Certifications to consider come form the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA), and the American Council on Exercise (ACE). The better organizations have specific requirements based on tested and practical knowledge, mandatory retesting at renewal periods, and continuing education. The ACSM has recently begun to require that its certified trainers have a formal educational degree in exercise science or a related field.<br /><br />Be sure to read those acronyms closely. Some of the more dubious organizations select names that closely resemble the well-known and legitimate certifications.<br /><br />Maybe the next most important consideration when selecting your personal trainer is whether you and your trainer are a good match. You and your trainer do not have to be the best of friends but do make sure it is someone you like.<br /><br />It is a good idea to take your time in choosing a personal trainer. Make sure that you feel comfortable with him or her and that you're not afraid to ask questions. Because if there isn't a good rapport there, you're just not going to want to go back to the gym. Personal training should be a positive experience and possibly a lifetime habit. The personal trainer must fit your specific needs, goals, lifestyle, and limitations.<br /><br />The American Council on Exercise, a certifying organization, suggests that by passing their certification a <a href="http://personaltraininginatlanta.com">personal trainer</a> will have a minimum level of proficiency and theoretical knowledge essential to screen and evaluate you, design a safe and effective exercise program, instruct you in the correct exercise techniques to avoid injury, and respond to the typical questions and problems that arise in a one-to-one setting.<br /><br />Most certifications require continuing education credits which ensures that the personal trainer keeps current with the available body of knowledge.<br /><br />Experience is an important aspect as well. Often experience and price go together, as experience increases you can expect the price to go up as well. Some will even say that experience is far more important than any certifications.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">most important aspect in choosing a personal trainer</span><br /><ul style="font-weight: bold;"><li>goals</li></ul>You must determine what they want out of personal training, that way you will get the most out of your training.<br /><ul><li><span style="font-style: italic;">For example</span>, if the your goal is in <a href="http://personaltraininginatlanta.com/atlanta-athletic-sport-training-sports-performance">improving sports performance</a>, then a certified strength and conditioning specialist is the most appropriate person for the job.<br /></li><li>If your goal is to compete in a bodybuilding contest, perhaps having a bodybuilder as a personal trainer will provide you with the best results.</li><li>If <a href="http://personaltraininginatlanta.com">weight loss</a> is your goal, find a personal trainer in Atlanta who also has a background in nutrition and weight loss. You may find that a <a href="http://personaltraininginatlanta.com/atlanta-trainer-to-host-new-boot-camp/">weight loss boot camp</a> may work for you as well.</li></ul>You have to choose a personal trainer that can help you achieve your goal. Your personal trainer’s skills should match your needs. The first step there is to have a clear goal as to wht you want.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Where and how do you want to exercise?</span><br />In Atlanta there are a number of options as to locations:<br /><ul><li>at home</li><li>at a gym</li><li>outside biking or out on the tennis court</li><li>private studio</li><li>outdoor boot camp</li><li>train with a friend<br /></li><li>a group exercise class</li><li>weight training</li><li>cardiovascular training</li><li>sports specific exercise</li><li>or a combination</li></ul> Personal training sessions can cost as little as $30 an hour to over $150 an hour. Some trainers will offer packages and discounts. It is a good idea for you to develop a budget for personal training and try to find someone who meets all of their criteria within that budget.<br /><br />Finding a qualified personal fitness trainer can be difficult. Some people base more credence on educational background, some want a trainer they can be friends with, and some will base their decisions on how much the trainer costs. Whatever the end result, the process should still be the same.You will need to have a clear-cut idea of your personal exercise goals and should interview trainers like any other job interview.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Guidelines for Choosing a Personal Trainer</span><br /><ul><li>Set your fitness/exercise goals before meeting with the trainer</li><li>Determine if certification, education, specialization, or experience is most important</li><li>Make a budget for personal training and know what your limit is</li><li>Decide where you want to exercise and how you want to exercise</li><li>Determine if you want to be alone or with a group</li><li>Interview the trainer to determine philosophy, personality, and flexibility</li><li><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">Rate the Trainer</span><br /></li></ul><br />To help the determine which Atlanta personal trainer is the best for you try this checklist. Rate each attribute on a scale of 1-4, with 4 being the best, and total each column.
