Beginning "2011" on the right path

So I know today is the 20th of Dec. but its going to take me this final week and a half to draw up my blueprints for this years resolutions. Preparation can be the most important factor of a plan in order for it to become successful.

If you have visited the Fitness Buster before then you know this website is about providing relevant fitness advice that can give you the answers you seek in order to lose weight and live a life full of vitality.

Well to my regret I have found that my website has done exactly what every other fitness site has done and that is provide awesome relevant content full of action steps that can help you on your quest as long as you implement them.

But I feel like that by itself is not enough which is why today, 5 days before christmas, I am rededicating this website to providing you with a blueprint on how to achieve your fitness and wellness goals. Consider this post my early Christmas present to you (like the one above :)

That means you won't find those super hyped up programs all over this site that make false promises and push your emotional buttons so that you make a impulse decisions. Instead I will talk straight to you instead of in circles so you too can stop analyzing every small detail of your life and take action that will result in huge rewards both physically and emotionally. The Fitness Buster will be your fitness family that you will come to trust when you want Real Results. Every three months we will implement a program that will bring us to our next level of achievements.

So bare with me as I prepare to put my personal thoughts and ideas into words that you may use on your journey. You are invited to follow along or watch my personal transformation as I take on lifes physical, emotional, and mental challenges that all of us face daily even during the quest for total fitness.

I will show you when to progress your exercises and routines but more importantly how to implement daily lifestyle changes that it will take in order to reach your goals all while avoiding the dreaded plateau effect.
We will know how to make homemade equipment, if it is cost effective for us to do so and we will find where to buy if it is not. This will allow us to spend more time taking action rather than being distracted by gimmicks and fancy marketing.

I am sure you are just as aware as I am of all the books, e-books, programs, and experts that claim to have the magic solution to all your problems.I would like to be perfectly honest with you.Not all fitness programs are created equal and we all have specific weaknesses we need to work on but the majority of the time it is more about the attention to detail and effort  we put forth than it is about what you have purchased.

Since I am a personal trainer and business owner here in Norwich CT. I want to play to my own strengths on this journey so once again I will start by getting into the best shape of my life using a step by step approach that you can use and follow along with.

We will first start by using exercises that utilize only our bodyweight since this will allow us the greatest foundation by arming us with the knowledge needed to be able to exercise anywhere and at anytime no matter what circumstances we come across. After becoming masters of our bodies we will implement the most functional tools at our disposal like barbells, kettlebells, dumbbells, bands and anything else you would like. But we will do it one at a time and with clear direction so we understand how to reach our goals.

After looking at how I may get these points across I have found two paths I can take. The first as a teacher, or the second being a student.Well after a lot of thought I decided to trailblaze a new path that will be an even blend of both teacher and student so bare with me. The journey will start by using a blueprint made up of action steps to get us started.

Once our confidence grows and results show we will evolve and as I attend seminars, certifications, host interviews we will learn from the experts while simultaneously adapting their methods into our own lives.

I hope your anxious, I know I am! 2011 is going to be one productive year I can tell you that. Embrace it and change will be inevitable.

So consider the rededication of this website a early christmas present and extra motivation to raise those toast glasses on New Years :) because it will be a sign that we will be celebrating your new found success. We will do it together.

Start with a Plan!

Reducing what you eat takes a little planning! These are my recommended first steps!

Firstly work out a pattern of meals that suits. 

Some find that a big healthy breakfast reduces big meals later in the day. Most people find three balanced meals, two smaller ones and one main meal is usually enough. Decide what works best for you, you may be very close to a routine that will work already.

Reduce your calorie intake by reducing fats and alcohol. Both are energy dense (high in calories) and they simply fail to keep hunger away for long. Choose complex carbohydrates particularly fiber like beans, peas, lentils, starchy vegetables and fruits, instead of simple carbohydrates like refined sugars in soft drinks, candy, baked goods, jams, jelly, and especially fast food.

Reduce your portion size by choosing a smaller plate, it tends to give you the impression that you are eating more. Start by always adding your fresh foods first like, fruits vegetables, lean protein, nuts and seeds before grabbing any grains, breads, cereals, pastas and baked goods. By doing this you assure your body has a nutrient dense meal and will help in any spike in insulin you may get from the man made carbohydrates that taste so good.


Eating 5 helpings of fruit and veggies a day really does help to keep your weight under control and healthy. They hold most of the vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals that our bodies need to fight off disease so remember to provide enough of them to eat. I like keeping fruits for my snacks throughout the day and having my vegetables with my meals, it assures my body the nutrition it needs while taking care of my sweet tooth (yes, I am a sucker for sweets too).

Don't think that you can’t eat out or have celebration meals. In Fact I encourage them! They keep you sane and allow you to celebrate a goal that’s been accomplished.  Just plan ahead to allow for some calorie indulgence. When you’re there carefully select your meal and eat small portions, it’ll help to avoid any problems of guilt.  Always remember, food chains give bigger and bigger servings now a days, and are packed with calories, so you can always have half of your meal boxed and save it for later.

Any changes aren’t for just days or weeks but for life, a longer and healthier life.

Eating healthier and changing your lifestyle.

Start thinking about the whole picture, don't just say 'I should do something!' ACT NOW and do something small today! Planning.

Majority of dietitians and fitness experts all agree that planning is VITAL to success!

• You should plan in advance how changes can be achieved, think about the structure of your life and your preferred lifestyle.
• If it is not compatible with a realistic lifestyle, experience shows us that you simply won’t sustain the changes.
• It’s usually possible to find a solution that’ll work well for you with pre-planning. We’re all creatures of habit, make sure the habits are good ones! 

Keep a regular monthly check on your weight. By adjusting exercise and eating levels you can maintain your weight within the 3-5 lb range. 


Increasing your energy output

• Experience tells us that regular exercise is a vital component of any healthy lifestyle. Very few of us manage to keep to our lower weight unless we take part in regular exercise. 
  Exercise helps the energy balance, improves heart and lung function, and reduces self-pity, boredom and snacking time. 
• The higher the exercise level the better, but when it comes to starting out even walking or cycling rather than using cars or motorbikes, and using the stairs instead of lifts helps. I believe any adjustment is better than none.

 How to keep to a healthier diet

The first thing we need is to think about is that the change is not for just days or weeks but for life, a longer healthier life. Making small positive changes over time will help you achieve a much healthier life, it'll also be easier to maintain a good weight and keep fit and active.

Step 1: have a plan 
Plan in advance how it can be achieved within the framework of the preferred lifestyle. 
If it is not compatible with a realistic lifestyle, experience shows it will not be sustained. It is usually possible to find a compatible solution with pre-planning. We are all creatures of habit, right? So, evaluate yours and then hold onto your good habits and throw out the bad ones. Be realistic and never be too hard on yourself, stress is the leading free radical builder in your body and that will only make your job harder.

Tomorrow we will talk about making a Blue Print that will be Personalized to your life that can be used as soon as that day.

Keep Your Body Guessing!

Ever find yourself in the same old rut when it comes to your workouts? Doing the same workout over and over is not only boring—it also slows down your results by not giving your muscles a chance to recover.

Alternate your exercise routine, for example take a Pilates class on Monday and then lift weights on Wednesday.

Are You on Baby Food? Norwich Personal Trainers Take a Deeper Look

Are you aiming to loose some weight? Norwich Personal Trainer says that many people struggle to loose weight and in the attempt to do away with the struggling and go directly to the results, the competition on which weight loss solution is the most effective is up in the market.

Latest in the form of dieting techniques for faster weight loss receives more attention from critics and health enthusiast because of the speculated celebrities who may have been under this new fad in the stream of weight loss solutions.

The Baby Food Diet may sound like baby food but it is, this diet is the newest comer in the arena of weight loss solutions and it is said to be behind the terrific body of Jennifer Aniston. Minimizing food intake is the baby food diet's ultimate concern, regular food intake is replaced by portions of baby food while 2 regular adult meals in a day is cut off. The crave for food especially the junk ones are said to be suppressed by taking in baby food instead. When you are under this diet, you are only allowed to have one adult meal a day which is preferably dinner and 14 servings of baby food for the rest of the day.

The creator of the baby food diet says that unlike other forms of crash diets, this one has a way of keeping the digestive tract going while eating puree rich, fat free, gluten free and organic food. This diet helps people who really crave for junk foods to somehow suppress their cravings because it will be replaced by jarred baby foods.

One thing that critics have seen to be the problem with the baby food diet is that it lacks supplication for the nutrition that is lost by skipping a few meals a day and baby food certainly cannot make up for that loss as it is not made to supplement adult requirements. The Baby food diet permits you only little amount of calorie intake and it may leave you feeling weak especially if you are a person with an active lifestyle. Another possible problem that it may bring is binge eating. The longer food cravings are suppressed, the more a person will want to have a taste of the food the he or she id craving for and the bland taste of the jarred baby food may not be tasty enough to satisfy the person's satiety.

According to Norwich Personal Trainers adding in exercise in a diet regimen is an important factor as it adds up to the effectiveness and long term effect of your weight loss solution, but the baby food diet does not suggest the need to have exercise. Exercise whether under a certain program or merely regular exercise may still be the best choice for people who desire to loose weight the healthy way.

In search for the most effective weight loss solution, some will try to find the most critical sounding and odd looking ways to try if it works for them but you may not know that the solution that you have been looking for is as simple as moving your body and burning out your calories. In choosing all the available alternative weight loss solutions you should consider safety and health first on the list, trying out some methods that you think will work out for you is ok. In finding good methods to try, always consider what experts have to say so that you will be guided with the positive and negative effects of the strategy that your about to go into.
