I’m gonna keep it simple today.

I want to share with you a radio show I used to host a while back. This is the first show introducing the concept of the show and what “The Fitness Truth” really is. Why you don’t need fancy equipment, supplements or anything outside of “you” to get the results you are after.

Take a look here (or rather take a listen)….

It’s in mp3 format, you can download it and listen to it anywhere.

Are you ready for Judgment Day?

Finally, it’s here, the warmth of Summer.

Memorial day came and passed, the next major marking of the year is July 4th.

Independence Day. Or as I like to call it Judgment day. The deep of summer where people start swimming. You know what that means - swimming suits.

Are you ready?

If not - you’d better get doing.

Here’s what you’ll need.

1. A varied workout plan
2. Rock solid nutrition
3. Endless motivation

With the combination of these 3 you could certainly trim the fat by July 4th (just 5 weeks away).

This is your opportunity to look your best and be proud of it.

For any program to work you need these things to happen:

1. You’ll need to burn more calories than you take it (negative energy balance)
2. The best way to do this is by exercising (stimulating your muscles)
3. The next best way is a small deficit through nutrition about 10-20
4. Doing the best types of exercise and eating the best types of food will increase the effectiveness by a lot.
5. Supplements - while they are often abused and overused, there are some helpful supplements either for convencience or to make sure you’re filling in any nutritional voids.

Just as you wouldn’t drive aimlessly around your city hoping that something great will happen if you just keep driving, you definitely wouldn’t just eat & exercise hoping that you are doing something right and that you will just get fit. If you don’t know what you want out of your fitness program, how do you know if you are successful. Some want to gain, most want to lose, what is it you want?

The Solution

Set goals for yourself. I’m sure you’ve heard it before, but I will tell you one more time. What do you want from your efforts. If you want to get to single digit body fat, well then great that is your goal. Of course you will want to break it down into smaller and more easily attainable goals. Say 1-2% every month until you reach the specified target. Another important thing is to track your progress with a notebook. Keep daily workout logs as well as food journals if you so desire. Doing this will bring extra motivation when you realize how far you have progressed throughout your notebook. This also keeps you from guessing how much weight you should use on each lift from week to week. Trust me on this one, this has changed the way I look at my workouts. It is easy & hardly takes any time. Just write down your numbers & whatever else in between each set.
