Hi All,
I have received a few emails asking about the differences on the various programs I do.
Regardless of the program, my mission is to help as many people as I can (that truly want my help) get fit, lose body fat & weight, achieve happiness and an ideal state of health without the use of medications.
I have been in the health & fitness industry now for 21 years and for many of those years I focused on one on one personal training, nutrition & lifestyle coaching. I am moving away from the one on one coaching given 90% of my prospects can’t afford to hire me and that is not a good way to help our larger community improve their state of health & wellness.
I still have a Personal Training Studio with many highly qualified Personal Trainers and assist a handful of people with one on one coaching, but for the most part, I do two main things these days: Boot Camp Programs and Nutrition & Lifestyle Coaching (mostly via group programs).
The 14 Day RESET Program is a great way to get started for both a structured exercise, nutrition & lifestyle plan. The exercise program takes place at the Belmont or Burlingame Boot Camp locations and consists of full body, strength, circuit training exercises like squats, lunges, step-ups, push-etc. Check out some of the programs here: Workouts
Research studies show that interval training (high intensity, short burst movements) with full body strength exercises is superior to slow cardio training for weight loss and cardiovascular fitness.
If you want to maximize your metabolism, and get defined arms, abs, and legs, then you must include higher intensity strength training exercises in your workouts. The high intensity strength training exercises found in my boot camp programs helps to protect your lean muscle mass and your metabolism, which you are almost certain to lose on a traditional starvation diet, aerobics class, or long cardio aerobic exercise programs.
The premise of circuit training is that you move from one resistance exercise to the next without much rest in between each. This keeps your heart rate elevated, which, in turn, helps you burn more calories (and provides a greater cardiovascular fitness response, as well).
Full body strength exercises (i.e. squat presses) are used because they recruit greater amounts of muscle. In turn, this burns more calories because the more muscles you have at work, the more oxygen your body demands. And since you burn 5 calories for every 1 liter of oxygen consumed, these full-body exercises burn more calories than most people achieve in an hour long cardio session!
The most powerful part of these strength training exercises is given they stimulate your muscles, your metabolism is constantly revved up. Because your metabolic rate is directly related to your muscle mass, the more time you spend training your muscles, the faster your metabolism will be at churning through those unwanted pounds of fat.
Your metabolic rate accounts for 70% of your daily caloric expenditure. To increase your metabolic rate (and thus the calories you burn), you need to engage in strength training to maintain or build your muscles. It’s that simple! Muscle is metabolic. Muscle literally eats fat.
But rest assured…
My circuit training workouts you won’t get big and bulky. I would have lost many of my clients as a weight loss expert if my female clients got big and bulky or gained weight.
