Gym Etiquette for Everyone

1. Take 5 GIANT steps back. Don’t do your reps standing right in front of the dumbbell rack. It doesn't matter if you're doing shoulder press, split squat, biceps curls, or goblet squats or anything else. Pick up your weights and take 5 GIANT steps back. I often even stand behind the benches if I'm not using a bench. 2. Avoid the “Ab zone” Most big chain gyms have a designated area for mats, balls, BOSU balls etc. Don’t bring heavy weights (larger than 15 lbs) into that area. It’s designated for stretching and ab work. By taking up their space you give them no choice but to invade your space (see the next point). 3. Be aware of others. This is important ....

The Art of Personalized Nutrition: Why Your Meal Plan Shouldn't Be Paint by Numbers

Our 6-year-old bragged to her teacher about my incredible painting skills. "She told me you painted a beautiful moonrise with pink flowers and a lake and mountains. It sounds amazing!" I laughed out loud and replied, "Yes, I did. But it was a paint-by-number!" 😂 I had asked Santa for a grown-up paint-by-number kit and I immediately got to work on it and finished it over a matter of a few days. This beautiful moonrise was the most difficult painting I've ever done! (And yet, it very much appealed to my inner-accountant.) Paint-by-number is supposed to be easy, right?? Having to paint each individual little change in hue or shade with a teensy brush was mentally and ....

Eat For Your Goals [Maintenance]

Today is possibly the most important in the Eat For Your Goals series because today we address Maintenance. Maintenance is the act of keeping the shape you're in right now. Some people are always in a maintenance phase without even trying. Others are in maintenance, even though they want to lose weight or gain muscle. So, this phase can be tricky or easy, depending on who you are and what your consistent habits are. Depending on how you arrived at your maintenance phase, there are slight variations on how to manage it. Following fat loss: If you've lost a significant amount of fat (>50#), then I recommend testing your metabolism to find out your new resting metabolic rate. As ....

Eat For Your Goals [Muscle Gain]

Today we're covering the topic of Eating to Gain Muscle. Gaining muscle is just what it sounds like: adding lean mass to your skeleton. The important thing to know here is that this cannot be done while you're in a caloric deficit. Think about it: if you don't have enough calories to sustain your current self, then how would you be able to add to it? People who might want to gain muscle include: Someone new to working out Someone who wants a "toned" look Someone who wants to boost their metabolism Someone who sits most of the day Someone who feels weak while performing daily tasks A strength athlete, a bodybuilder or bikini athlete Gaining muscle doesn't mean "getting ....

Eat For Your Goals [Performance]

Have you ever heard someone say they're "carb loading" prior to an event? Then they proceed to eat a huge bowl of pasta or pizza, even? Carb Loading IS an effective pre-competition dietary strategy, but it's not usually done correctly. I'll explain what it means to Eat For Performance, and how/when/why one might choose to "carb load." When we talk about "performance" we're talking about athletic performance, but you don't have to play a specific sport to want to perform well. Good Performance basically means that you're able to do what you want to do when you want to do it. Solid performers aren't over-tired, too weak, lethargic, too slow, too sore. Solid performers ....

Eat For Your Goals [Weight Loss vs. Fat Loss]

First in our series of "Eat for Your Goals" is ... FAT LOSS VS. WEIGHT LOSS Most people say they want to "lose weight." But is that really what they want to do? Maybe. Maybe not.

The Ultimate Secret of Fat Loss

An Interview with Adam, Founder of Serious Results Interviewer : Adam, I hear you have “the ultimate secret to fat loss.” What is it, and why is it a secret?
