5 Reasons You Are Gaining Weight!
Hi friends,
So today I was speaking with a client who said she has been gaining weight in the past week. This is something that CAN happen even with an intense exercise program but it isn't the program that is causing it. Her and I spoke about numerous factors that could be causing her weight gain. She assured me that she was eating "healthy" and it was not her intake.
Then what is it?
Well ladies and you men out there listen up.
I will go as far as explaining to you 5 reasons why you are gaining weight despite your recent change in exercise.
1.) You Are NOT Eating Enough!
Lets think about this for a second. You are working out more intense then ever before in your life. Your metabolic rate has been jacked up by that killer workout you performed. Well, in order to keep your metabolism booming you need to fuel your body! It's that simple. Small meals containing lean proteins, fruits, veggies and good fats every 2-3 hours.
2.) You Are NOT Drinking Enough!
No, sorry I am not talking about adult beverages. I am simply talking about water! Your body's number one natural fat-burner (besides your lean muscle, more on that in a sec) is the water you take in. Keeping yourself well hydrated helps you avoid cravings and listen to this one loudly. The MORE water you drink, the LESS water you will retain. Ladies did you hear that? You can control that monthly excess water by increasing your water intake.
3.) You Are NOT Consuming Enough Protein!
Now there has been tons of "experts" who say you don't need all that protein. I am here to tell you that you DO need lean protein in your diet. It is the building block for lean muscle and the more lean muscle you have the more efficient at burning body fat you will become. Hey, don't you want to turn your body into a 24/7/365 fat-burning furnace? I know I do! Easy way to make sure you are taking in enough protein is to follow this equation.
Bodyweight x .8 = Target Grams of Protein Per Day (minimum .6)
4.) You ARE Eating Too Much!
Heard it before and I am sure I will hear it again. "I am eating healthy." Look eating healthy does not include a cheat meal or snack everyday. Follow the 90/10 rule. If you are compliant 90% of the time, you can enjoy yourself 10% of the time. Save this time and use it wisely.
5.) Your are NOT Changing Your Program!
Look your body is smarter then you. It will adapt and needs change. If you don't change your workout routine your body will plateau and eventually cause you to stop losing or even worse gain weight. Be sure to change your workout routine every 4 weeks.

Do You Fear Success?
I am sitting in the back of my business seminar in Farmington, CT listening to our presenter talk about small business, credit, real estate and health insurance. Unfortunately we as Americans, including every person in this room and you at home, have been taught the wrong ways to approach each of these. I have sat here since Friday taking notes there has been one constant, fear.
Fear of failure.
Fear of success.
Fear of change.
Does that sound like you?
Are you afraid to do something different?
Working in a health club for years I can't begin to tell you how many people I would come in contact with that were simply afraid to make the commitment to changing their body.
They have simply fallen into a "comfort zone."
Have your past failures affected you changing your current lifestyle?
If you want success in this world you need to create change and with that comes fear.
Losing 5, 15 or 30 pounds isn't easy and it is going to take change.
Do you know why most people don't succeed in creating weight loss success?
Fear.
They are too scared to change their lifestyle. So they go on the rest of their life in a "comfort zone" and yet are still unsatisfied with the way they look and feel.
Sound familiar?
Well, stop holding yourself back.
Farmington Valley Fitness Boot Camp is unlike any program in all of Hartford County.
Do what is necessary to create change and make a better healthier life for yourself.
Come see for yourself.
I CHALLENGE YOU!

8 AND A HALF POUNDS IN 2 WEEKS!
Hey everyone!
Another week has gone by and another life has been changed by Farmington Valley Fitness Boot Camp.
Meet Meghan Carrier.
Teacher. Wife. Mother of twin boys Andrew and Matt.
To say Meghan has no time would be an understatement!
Meghan for years has been an avid runner and exercise has been "her time." The Farmington Valley Fitness Boot Camp program has shown her the importance of a balance between nutrition, strength training and interval cardio.
"This program is very different than anything I have ever done. I ran about 4 times a week. I usually ran for about an hour. Despite this I was not losing weight and I was not toning up. Although I have been working out for a long time, after the first class I could barely move the next day. I knew I was using different muscles- definitely working on areas that I needed to work on. It is also easier to fit in the workouts. Running the 20 minute intervals is much easier to fit into my schedule than my hour long runs. I can't believe what a diference this class has made. I have been going to class 3 times a week, doing the intervals on the treadmill, and following the diet. Doing this has caused such rapid weight loss and it is hard to believe my clothes are already fitting differently."
The group atmosphere and ability to spend more quality time with family members (3 of Meghan's sister-in-laws are in boot camp as well!) in each session has been an added bonus to her success and made the experience a family affair.
"Well all of the things I just mentioned, and it also has been great to join with family members because we have been such a support for each other, and all of the husbands are helping us by watching the kids so we can go to class."
Meghan's favorite exercises seem to be popular among many boot camp members.
"Although I can't believe I am writing this I think spidermans and mountain climbers are my favorite because I feel they are so beneficial and so different from anything I have done in the past."
Meghan entered a "Biggest Loser" challenge at work and she won!
"So far I have lost 8 pounds in 2 1/2 weeks. All of my pants are already loose! Because of this weight loss, I won the biggest loser challenge at work because it was a 7.25% weight loss."
She is finished at 8 pounds.
"I want to lose about 5 more pounds, but after that I want to maintain and continue to "tone up." I want to continue to challenge myself by pushing myself to try the "harder versions" of the exercises and keep a steady pace through all of the sets."
Farmington Valley Fitness Boot Camp has provided Meghan with a new overall feeling of well-being.
"I feel so much better about myself. I have more energy and I feel exercising is the best stress reliever there is."
After having her twin boys Meghan's time became less and less. Through her friend Kelley Biskupiak (A Boot Camper of the Week herself!) and brother Deron, Meghan found out about Farmington Valley Fitness Boot Camp.
Since joining the program her entire family has helped make boot camp part of her life.
"My family is very supportive. My husband watches my two year old twins, Matthew and Andrew, a few times a week. This is a commitment for him as well because for the 7 o'clock class he has to put the kids to bed by himself and for the 5:30 class he rushes home from work for me to get to class. He knows how much I am enjoying this class and he is willing to help out as much as he can. The rest of my family is supportive, too. When my husband went away for a week, my mother and mother in law told me that if I needed any help for the week to let them know. I told them that the biggest help would be for them to come over to watch the kids so that I can go to class."
Even Andrew and Matt have taken a new look on mommy's exercise.
"My boys are even starting to know the program. When I am dressed in my workout clothes they ask me if I am going to work out class with Auntie Tina? (last week's Boot Camper of the Week!) They also play in my room and stay near as I do my intervals on the treadmill. "
Meghan is confident her love for health and exercise will be an important part in the lives of her twins.
"I like the fact that they are learning about exercise and will grow up knowing how important it is."
The boy's even now know what exercise Meghan is performing.
"One of my twins, Andrew, saw me doing mountain climbers one morning. He was very confused and asked me what I was doing. I told him they were mountain climbers. A week later I was doing them again and both boys were there. When his twin brother asked what I was doing, Andrew looked at him and said "Mommy is doing mountain climbers, Matt."

Guilt Free Fat Fighters!
It's that time of night.
It is late, you are hungry and your craving something you should avoid.
Do you watch your favorite late night reality tv shows and snack on something you KNOW is only negatively effecting your weight loss?
Hey the Biggest Loser is on and yet I am SURE there are people out there eating the WRONG things while watching these people bust their butts to lose 100's of pounds of body fat.
So what do you eat?
Here are two Guilt Free Fat Fighters:
1) Celebration Sorbet
Put a scoop of raspberry (or whatever your favorite flavor is) sorbet in a martini glass and sprinkle with fresh berries. Drizzle with champagne or sparkling apple cider.
2) Strawberry Dippers
Dip whole strawberries in low-fat French vanilla, lemon chiffon or chocolate yogurt.
Easy, huh? Guilt free AND delicious!
Enjoy!
Dedicated to your fitness success,

Lose Your Mommy Belly in 4 Minutes
Hey Campers,
If I have heard it once, I have heard it too many times to remember.
"I want to lose my mommy belly."
So unfortunately, ordinary exercise IS NOT the answer.
Low Fat Diet, 60 minutes of moderate intensity cardio is the WRONG ANSWER!
So what is the right answer?
Try this 4 minute Tabata Interval to burn 9x more belly fat than ordinary exercise.
