3 Simple Guidelines For Effective New Year's Resolutions

Everyone always comes up with New Year's Resolutions. In relation to health / fitness, people make bold resolutions with often unattainable goals. Most people start and then rapidly drop off when they realize they won't be able to attain the goals they set for themselves. So, to make it more effective, keep it simple and abide by these 3 simple rules:

1. Set realistic goals for your resolutions - stuff that you can actually achieve in a reasonable amount of time.

2. Keep your resolutions list short - top 3-5.

3. Prioritize the list 1-3 or 1-5.

If you can do these three simple things, you have a much greater chance of actually accomplishing your goals.

Check out today's video on this topic:

Top 10 Disturbing Things I Still See In The Gym Everyday



As I walk around the gym everyday, I notice trendy things that a bunch of people do all of the time. It amazes me that in this day and age, there are so many outdated, ineffective, dangerous and down right ignorant things going on. So I will list the top 10 as I could go on for days about this.

1. The vinyl sweatsuits are still alive and well. Can you believe that people trying to get in shape still think this is a viable way to change their body composition?

2. People are still on the cardio machines moving slow and reading books. Are you kidding?

3. Putting all sorts of weight on a bar or machine and then doing partial reps thinking they are killing it with full ROM.

4. Everyone doing all sorts of arm curls and crunches - dang -national biceps and abs day!

5. Doing an hour on the treadmill, then an hour on the eliptical, then and hour on the stairmaster before going to do arm curls and crunches. How do people have like 2-4 hours a day to workout? Get a job!

6. Going to an aerobics class or two and then doing #4&5.

7. Using super light weight and doing a million reps for a zillion sets.

8. Holding weight plates or dumbbells and doing hundreds of fast side bends and back extensions.

9. Super poor form and technique across the board.

10. Taking advice from rogue so-called trainers on how to do 1-9.

Of course, the list could go on and on and I won't even start with the wanna- be crossfitters who are just plain scary and dangerous. It is crazy and when I offer someone advise on how to do it right, better or just safely -they tell me no thanks, they got this! Geez, your doctor and chiropractor will have this soon to fund their trip to the bahamas. And then there are the knuckleheads who think I am a poorly paid spotter and are dismayed when I tell them differently. Needless to say, it is very frustrating for me to watch this day in and day out. All I can do is help those who wish to be helped. There is a better way! Leave a comment and let me know what you think and what craziness you see in the gym.

5 Simple Holiday Fat Loss Survival Tactics

With the holiday season here, it is easy to allow yourself to fall off the fat loss wagon and pack on the blubber. People travel, visit family, attend dinners and parties and get exposed to foods that they normally don't eat. But there is no need to back track just because of the holidays. It is not an excuse to throw all of your hard work out the window. So here are 5 easy things to do so that you minimize the damage and still enjoy yourself.

1. Have a Plan: Failure to plan is planning to fail. If you know your schedule, then you know what areas need more attention with your meal planning. Make a plan, get the food and prepare.

2. Bring food with you when you travel: It is so simple. Cooler, cooler bags, tupperware, ziploc bags-you get the idea. Instead of fast foods during a trip, reach into your cooler or bag and pull out some jerky, nuts and fruit. Have ample water and a good beverage like green tea available. Eat frequently and stay hydrated.

3. Control The Macronutrient Ratio: If you are at a family member's or friend's house for an xmas dinner type event, control the macronutrient ratio of protein, fat and carbs on your plate. You can still have what you like, just eat it in the right amounts. Example - Ham or turkey, greenbean casserole, hot rolls and mixed nuts. Say this is what is served, have a lot of the ham or turkey, eat a bunch or nuts and then have a roll and a little  greenbean casserole and small dessert and you would be fine. The proteins and fats lower the glycemic index and damage caused by the carbs so lots of proteins and good fats and a little bit of the tasty carbs.

4. Continue to eat frequently: Keep your metabolism high by eating a little a lot. Don't allow yourself to go for hours without food and then become a hypoglycemic starving beast. Always hit the protein first.

5. Don't drink your calorie intake for the day: High sugar drinks are deadly to your body fat levels. Watch the eggnog, alcohol, lattes, juice and soda. A little is ok -alot puts you back in the fat body zone. 

Of course, you need to squeeze in workouts when you can. One round of a bodyweight tabata drill or stair sprints can help keep the metabolic furnace going - you can spare at least 5-10 minutes to knock out a high intensity drill.  Yes, that is much better than nothing - don't slack.

Most of all-enjoy yourself and be smart. Don't stress about it. One meal doesn't ruin a day, one day doesn't ruin a week. Consistency is the key. If you slip, get back on track. By applying these principles to your holiday season, you can have fun, eat some tasty stuff and still be a lean fit ninja.
