What are the best nutritional supplements for weight loss?

As a trainer clients would always want to know -What are the best nutritional supplements for weight loss?

I suppose it’s a fair enough question. If your trying to make the scale go down knowing what nutritional supplements for weight loss would be helpful, sure. Everybody wants a fat-burner to drink or take in pill form. Why because it’s easy.

Just remember one thing though” What nutritional supplement did you take to gain weight?” A little hint started with a F ended with a D, maybe had a couple of O’s in there.

That’s right food with a extra helping of inactivity. At least that’s how it happened for me. Maybe it’s a little different for some of you other people out there, but I’m a little skeptical.

So does that mean there are no good nutritional supplements for weight loss?

No I’m not saying that. There are a lot of great products out there. I just don’t believe people should focus on nutritional supplements for weight loss or any other fitness goal for that matter.

The key thing to remember is there called S-U-P-P-L-E-M-E-N-T-S for a reason. These things should be supplemental to a sound nutrition choices and a active lifestyle. [Read more...]

What level is your fitness commitment?

How much fitness commitment can you muster?

I just want to say this past two weeks my fitness commitment was really been tested. Week one I didn’t do so well, but week two I really kicked ass. 2 weeks ago I got hit with a serious case off the lazies. That is probably what carried me through this past week.

The Idea of not upholding my fitness commitment two weeks in a row was unacceptable.

See I had two weeks of hell at work. The first working around 50 hrs + another 5-10 hrs on my at home businesses.

Week two was 68 hrs + 2-5 hrs working on my at home business. On top of that I lose 10 hrs a week to my commute.

Steph, Me, and 7 Minute Workout.

Hey guys if you have been following me you know I’m a personal trainer or least that is where my education lies. I worked in the fitness industry for 5 years before going off to pursue other things.

The only problem is those other things really took a toll on my health and fitness and you know what they say birds of a feather. As I began getting more and more out of shape I found I had company, my wife Stephanie.

So when a friend of mine introduced me to 7 Minute Workout I asked Steph to come along for the ride with me.

Steph’s 7 Minute Workout Story.

The 1st time I trained Steph

My journey to lose weight with Dave began in June of 2011. Dave sat down with me and we set up a schedule for my workouts, every other day using the 7 Minute Workout Program. We also discussed foods to eat and those that should be avoided to better help my needs. We started with exercises that I was already familiar with and as time progressed he changed exercises to help from having too much repetition, causing my body to get better results. [Read more...]
