It's Friday, it's that day... Q&A Friday!! Ask away with your #diet, #exercise, #nutrition, #stress mgmt, #motivation, #lifestyle questions!
Q: Which nuts are better, walnuts or almonds? A: Walnuts have more fat (good fat) but also more antioxidants & help lower cholesterol.
Q: What are the benefits of using bands? A: Resistance bands offer a convenient, mobile resistance source for doing exercises. Work good!
Q: What is a good exercise for love handles? A: Diet is what will get rid of love handles. To tone the obliques, use core & twisting exercises.
Q: What is better, crunches or situps? A: Both work well of course. Situps work more overall muscles. Crunches are good for upper abs.
Q: I love salty food, is it healthy? A: Depends on what you eat. In moderation. High sodium consumption can lead to high blood pressure.
Q: I just got a treadmill, how long should I use it to lose weight? A: Minimum of 30 min (up to 45 min), 5 - 6 days a week.
#Quote of the day: To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe. - Anatole France

Month 1 of P90X almost done!
I've survived the 1st month of the vaunted P90X training program! Survived is the right word. Lol. The first week was tough with longer workouts than I was used to and different exercises than I was used to. Week 2 was easier as I knew what to expect and I even upped the intensity quite a bit. Week 3 saw me dragging myself some days with my energy and recuperation levels on low but I paced myself throughout the day and was able to up the intensity still in week 3. I'm now in week 4 which is a Recovery phase week. Lots of stretching and Yoga X with some Kenpo X and intense core synergistics thrown in there on 3 of the days to keep the muscles working.
With my recovery phase almost done, I move back to the Adaptive and Mastery phase on Thursday! Back to the intensity! As per the muscle confusion aspect that is at the core of the P90X foundation, this time there will be new exercises to help me bring it! I'll also be back to the Plyo and continue with the Kenpo X and Yoga X days.
I did not tighten up my diet so I could see what my energy needs for the workouts would be so I did not see great changes on the scale BUT I never go by the scale anyway. As I always preach, the scale only tells a small part of the story when it comes to working out. As you build muscle and lose fat, the scale will not tend to move much but you will see changes with your body. With that said, I have definitely seen my clothes getting looser, my bodyfat percentage go down and my muscles getting bigger and tighter. My cardio and muscle endurance has improved dramatically and that in itself is a great reward from the P90X program.
All in all, I highly recommend P90X for all the reasons I just mentioned above. I'm not only a trainee, I'm also a Team Beachbody Coach and can help guide you to the right home training program, for you and your needs like P90X, Insanity, Hip Hop Abs, Brazilian Butt Lift and many more - all programs designed to help get you in the best shape of your life! Ask me about it and ask me how to get a 25% discount on it!

Time to step it up with some P90X!
New year, new you is one of the mottos I tell my clients but this time I am taking a bit of my own advice. Don't get me wrong, I workout all year round but this time I want to try something different from my weightlifting and cardio regimen so I've decided to do P90X! What is P90X? It's an extreme hybrid of workouts based on muscle confusion designed to get you ripped and in the shape of your life in 90 days. Sounds fun! I know I'm a bit crazy when it comes to workouts so I'm up for the challenge. The workouts consist of different days of many different types of exercises to work out all your major bodyparts and also days of Plyometrics, Yoga and Kenpo (kickboxing). All the workouts are at a fast pace designed to tax you and push you while getting you and your cardio into their best shape ever. It's an intense workout system but the results speak for themselves as its one of the hottest and most effective exercise systems out there. Many celebrities use it to get themselves in quick shape for movies, tours, etc.
As a trainer and now a trainee of the P90X system, I even took the time to become an Independent Team Beachbody Coach because I believe in the effectiveness of the Beachbody home programs so much. They have great programs to workout and get in shape from home (many of which you may have seen in TV commercials) such as P90X, Insanity, Hip Hop Abs, Brazilian Butt Lift and many more. They even have a Shakeology program that lets you get nutritious shakes conveniently sent right to your home to help you lose weight, lower your cholesterol and more. It's all really cool and I felt it was the right fit for me as a Trainer. Not only will it bring my own fitness level to new highs but it will also allow me to make this available to my clients as well.
Today will be my first P90X workout and I will keep you all updated on my P90X journey throughout the next 90 days in this blog. I hope you keep coming back to check on my progress. ;)
If any of you are interested in any of the BeachBody programs such as Brazilian Butt Lift, Hip Hop Abs, P90X, Insanity, Turbo Fire and more then please feel free to ask me. As a coach, I'd be more than happy to be your coach and help you figure out which program would be best for you and your needs and also to answer any questions you may have. Ask me how you can save 25% on any program! I can even help you become a Coach yourself and help you inspire others.
