Six Pack Abs - Is it Possible Or Just a Hollywood Myth?

Are Six-Pack Abs a Hollywood myth and only something that we see on magazine covers and TV? By the looks of most Americans one might think that it is a myth. So is the possibility of having a rock hard stomach and Greek god physique even a goal worth striving for? Is this something that is obtainable yet too unrealistic or time-consuming to take a shot at? My answer to this question is NO!

The answer to this question is no, but it will take some sacrifice. The sacrifice has to be a consistent change in your lifestyle and your personal diet and exercise program, but it is a very reasonable goal to strive for. You have to absolutely commit to sticking to a steady healthy diet and completely cut out all of the junk. You can have a cheat meal from time to time, but you most always have to eat perfectly healthy. Now this isn't as unreasonable as eating perfectly unhealthy, right? You can commit to being a loving father or mother, husband or wife, commit to paying your bills all of the time, so why should this be any different. If you take on this mindset you are 90% there.

Gaining a Greek-god body is not as far from the realm of possibility as you would think. We've established the significance of having the right frame of mind. Next you need a well structured strategical plan. One of my favorite quotes from the movie "The Usual Suspects" Kevin Spacey says, "The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't exist!" Well, in referencing a rock hard body and six-pack abs this is the very mindset of many people when it comes to achieving that level of fitness. Most think that it doesn't really exist, at least for them. This is not true.

Consistently working out EFFECTIVELY and eating the healthy diet CONSISTENTLY is the key. Remember that with your workouts it is much better to have a short intense workout than a long leisurely one. This is what I mean by an effective workout. As long as, you can engage in this as steadily as you pay your bills and kiss your spouse on the cheek everyday, or at least in the case of working-out, every other day then the results will blow your mind!

Easy Weight-Loss - The Lazy Mindset!

I want to take the time to address the mindset of many people that are always looking for the "easy way out" when trying to lose weight. I have dealt with many people over the years that have a lazy mindset when it comes to working out and overall fitness. This article is meant to address that problem and to try to explain the importance of hard work and self-motivation.

I have had many years experience in training some of the greatest athletes in the world for the sole purpose of getting their bodies in top-notch condition in order to perform at the highest level. Because of this past experience with the most "Elite" I can certainly manage working with anyone else in the general population. Now I'm not saying this to sound arrogant because I'm about to get my point across. I just find it hilarious that a lot of people that THINK they have all the answers never totally get the results that they continually seek. Now the people to which I am referring are primarily those that want to act like they know what they are talking about, but are always looking for the easy way to try to get what they want!

You see them walk into the gym with 3 tubs of supplements and a huge gym bag full of other so-called quick fixes. You always see the ones with the "lazy mindset" spend all the money to get that "magical pill." The truth is that these people will never achieve their goals until they change their mindset and get motivated. I have even had people that pay for my services and because they spent the money think that I will magically cause their gut to disappear. This is a truly lazy frame of mind. The truth is that motivation comes from within. If you don't have the inner drive with anything in life, including working out, you will never succeed!

Change your mindset to be proactive and not reactive. Remember that only you can make YOUR OWN CHOICES!

Fitness Training - The Gruesome 10 - Time Efficient Training For the Busy Mom and Dad

I have talked to many moms and dads that spend the better part of their day working, picking up kids from school, running errands, preparing meals, and doing yard work. This sounds like the life of a typical functioning family that generally takes on the attitude that working out and being fit is an impossibility. I'm here to put that mindset to rest!

I want to talk about scheduling a workout in what I like to call the "gruesome 10!" Most people live a busy lifestyle of work, kids, chores, and fast-paced weekends. Working out is not an option to these moms and dads because they don't have the time to get to a gym or to buy equipment to stock up in the garage. Still there is no reason why a fit lifestyle couldn't be accomplished in their hectic schedules. I would like to introduce the "gruesome 10" philosophy. The "10" stands for 10 minutes and the "gruesome" stands for miserable, heart pounding, shaky arms, and shaky legs due to all out shock! The entire workout is only 10 minutes and the results are tremendous.

You are probably wondering "how does this work?" The gruesome 10 is a workout that needs to be completed when it needs to be completed! In other words, there is not a necessary schedule of a time and place, but only when there is 10 minutes of uninterrupted "go time" available. Keep the format simple, but continuous. The 10 can also mean the number of exercises and rep count. Combine 10 different body weight exercises into a giant circuit. Each exercise is 10 reps. You can go from 10 push-ups to 10 squats to 10 crunches and on and on. The key is to not stop until the 10 exercises are completed or your 10 minutes are up.

The objective here is to ramp up the intensity level. There is no equipment, no kids, no wife, no husband, instead there is just that high-paced 10 minutes of strength and conditioning!
