Best Pre Workout Ever!
Really another debate and more questions from those new or returning to exercise about the best pre workouts?
Are you kidding?
Here is a SECRET.. the preworkout is not going to make the workout. Showing up and working hard consistently is going to make the difference.
Yet, many want to ask for the best pre workout instead of getting in the gym and training…training not just exercising. That time you just spent asking about pre workouts is time wasted… that could have been spent training.
Some are also wasting time comparing Caffeine anhydrous to Caffeine.
Really? Go train.
Here is how we used to do it… Coffee + Music + Hard Work = Great Results
The devices evolved from the walk man to the disc man to the MP3 player to the iPod and eventually iPhone…. the secret remained unchanged.
Coffee + Music + Hard Work = Great Results

You Won’t Stay Motivated to Exercise Secret to Still Exercising Anyways
You Won’t Stay Motivated to Exercise
Secret to Still Exercising Anyways
Up at 4:30 AM and out the door at 4:45 AM to the gym, train, shower at the gym then to my office or on the road to see customers. That was 20 years ago. I had lost over 60 lbs and was scared to death that I would regain it, this was my motivation.
The alarm clock was strategically placed as far away from the bed as possible. Why? So I had no choice but to get out of bed and turn it off.
Stretch Armstrong could not hit snooze from the bed.
20 years have passed. The fear of gaining the weigh back has subsided. The alarm clock is next to the bed. Sometimes I do hit snooze.
You won’t stay motivated to exercise. None of us will. I don’t have that fear of gaining all that weight back and with it the burning motivation.
The Secret to still exercising when the motivation is gone, just get moving.
Most mornings my joints crack and pop like a bowl of Rice Krispies. The last thing my 40 plus year old body wants to do is get up and exercise at zero dark thirty. I have to get up and get moving, and so do you.
It is like passing GO in Monopoly.
You won’t stay motivated to exercise. Accept that and get up and get moving.

At 32 Conquering a Life Long Struggle
Krystal Wall
“I took the walk of shame and realized that I was letting life pass me by.”
I think the exact moment that I knew I didn’t want to live this way anymore came at an amusement park. My husband and I took our children for their first time and we were all so excited. We got on the first ride, I was holding my breath, and I was just barely able to snap the bar in place. However, the attendants came by and said the green light was not turning on, indicating it was fully latched. They began pressing it down, trying to force it closed, and I just wanted the earth to open up and swallow me whole.
After about 5 minutes, they said I would need to get off. They had to make an announcement to everyone since to open one meant they had to open them all. The worst part was my daughter, who was 7, started crying because now she had to ride her first amusement park ride alone and she was scared. I took the walk of shame past everyone and realized that I was letting my life pass me by while I sat on the sidelines. I love my children more than life itself, but I was letting food have greater importance than my future with them.
Breaking the Chains of Sugar Addiction and Emotional Eating
I think the biggest thing for me was breaking the chains of sugar addiction and emotional eating. I did not realize that I was such an emotional eater before because I was suppressing those emotions with food before they fully reached the surface. Now, I have had to learn new coping mechanisms for stress, frustration, anxiety, depression, etc.
At 32 Conquering a Life Long Struggle
I am 32 and I remember trying to lose weight when I was 8, so this has been a lifelong struggle. I used to say I would wake up on a diet and go to bed as a failure. I think the difference this time is twofold.
One, I found a method that actually addressed the sugar addiction and helped me to end those cravings.
Two, I discovered a love for exercise and physical activity that I’ve never had before.
I am following the keto way of eating, so I have 20g or less of carbs each day, moderate protein, and moderate to high fat. I also intermittent fast daily and do some extended fasting as well.
“If I say I’m going to do something, I do it.”
The biggest change I have made in my life is following through on the promises I make to myself. If I say I’m going to do something, I do it.I decided when I started keto in December 2018 that I would not lie to myself or give up on myself ever again. If I say I’m going to go workout at 5AM the next day, I am in the gym at 5:01.
This has carried through to other aspects of my life and really helped me to become more disciplined overall. I have much more confidence in myself now and that has shown itself in many ways. I decided to finish my degree and have two semesters left of that.
I am a musician, but felt embarrassed to be onstage. Now, I regularly sing in my church and feel comfortable being in front of people. My family is planning our trip back to the same amusement park in a couple months and I can’t wait to ride every single ride there! It’s been such a blessing, and I am thankful for every moment.
Truth About Calories; Keto, Intermittent Fasting, Macros, IIFYM, Eat by Color, and Any Other Approach to Nutrition
Truth About Calories
Calories are a unit of energy. Â From the Law of Conservation of Energy we know energy can not be created not destroyed.
Applied to the human body if you eat a surplus of calories over the calories you spend you will gain weight.
Eat a caloric deficit relative to the calories you spend you will lose weight.
Energy balance means that which comes in has to go somewhere.
It does not matter when the calories are consumed. Â What matters is how many calories are consumed and how many are spent. Â This is the TRUTH in Calories.
orry Intermittent fasting folks but you are not rewriting the laws of physics. Â Plus if you do not eat between 9:00 PM and 6:30 AM is that not fasting?
Once caloric energy balance is managed a discussion about where in terms of macros...carbs, protein and fat calories come from can be had.
But how many calories are consumed and how many are spent comes first.
- This is KING for fat loss or fat gain.
- This is KING for weight loss or weight gain.
- There is NO skipping this.
So whether you are following Keto, Macros, IIFYM, intermittent fasting,Eat by Color, IM or any other approach to nutrition contrary to what you may think it is as simple as calories in equal calories out. Â A surplus will be stored as fat and deficit will come from fat.

#1 Secret to Getting Fit Over 40
#1 Secret to Getting Fit Over 40
START Where you Are, Not Where You Are Going, but Most Importantly START!
“I go Gung-Ho and jump in with both feet. It is tough and overwhelming, so I give up.”
This is equivalent to training for a marathon. You have not run in years and on day 1 start with a 10-mile run.
You know how this ends, and it is not after a 10-mile run. Most would be lucky to run 1 mile.
The SECRET is simple and as follows:
START Where you Are, Not Where You Are Going, but Most Importantly START!
Avoid getting paralyzed by what would be ideal and just start.
If you have not exercised in years, or ever, start by just moving more. Park at the back of the lot at work, when shopping and running errands. Set a goal to walk 3 days per week for 20 minutes. Simple and attainable.
The walk is a reachable goal.  It is FREE and you do not a membership anyplace to do it.  Reaching your goals will be motivating and will encourage you to keep going. Compare and contrast that to jumping in feet first going to the gym every day for weights and cardio.
Grab the simple victories by setting the goal of walking and following through.  Build an “I CAN do this mindset.”
Don’t forget that fad diet you jump into with both feet.  The diet is not going to work either. Instead cut back on some of the bad food. Keep it simple and doable just like with exercise. Grab some victories with food and use it to build that “CAN do it” mentality.
I time build on the can-do attitude and use the motivation to challenge yourself more with exercise and nutrition.
START Where you Are, Not Where You Are Going, but Most Importantly START!

Overcoming Obstacles on the Way to Losing Over 50 Pounds
2014 My Breaking Point
My weight was at its highest (notwithstanding two back to back pregnancies). I was diagnosed with a pre-cancerous colon polyp. Â My youngest daughter was granted a wish through the Make-A-Wish Foundation and I did not want to be photographed overweight and out of shape.
I decided to get serious at the gym.  I worked with a trainer and nutritionist.  I was put on a structured meal plan and had to learn a whole new way of life.
Failing is Part of the Process
I tried and failed SO many times, I lost count.  I lost faith in my ability to gain control over my weight.  This changed when I started working with a trainer and nutritionist. I learned important (yet simple) tactics for achieving success.
Overcoming Obstacles
The biggest obstacle was learning to eat.  I had already tried every fad diet out there, including starving myself. I was never successful.  Eating 6 times a day was foreign to me!  There was no way I could eat that much, and lose weight. I cried the first week and struggled to eat 6 times per day. I kept at it. The more consistent I was with nutrition the more the weight seemed to just drop off. It was working.
My Plan
I lifted weights 3-4 times a week, performed cardio 3 times a week. Â My workouts are intense using a progressive overload approach to training. Â Fad diets are behind me. Â I follow a very structured and balanced nutrition plan that included nutrient-dense foods.
Â
A Role Model Helping Others Reach their Goals
Becoming healthy has done amazing things for me. My esteem and confidence in general have improved. I am a role model for my teenage daughters.  After losing over 50 pounds and I reached my ideal weight. Next I had the confidence to step on stage in 4 amateur bodybuilding competitions and earned the chance to compete nationally.  Today I have a sports nutrition consultant certification and share my experience and knowledge with others!

How I am Fighting Aging and You Can To
Fighting Age and How to Make 40 the New 20 and 50 the New 25
Protein in the Jelly
Part of Aging or So the Doc Said, How I am Fighting Aging
There were two then three dots on the wall. I was sitting in a class room updating a certification over the weekend. On the dry erase board, three dots. I looked at the walls to the left and right and there were the dots.
The following Monday I got an appointment with an ophthalmologist friend.
Doc checked me out and said you are fine. “Are you 40 yet? You have protein in the jelly.” He went on to explain this is part of the aging process and amino acids are in my line of vision. Or something like that.
I heard one thing…. You are getting older. The thief, age, was beginning to steal from me.
Next, age attempted to take my ability to get up off the floor. Seriously. I was kneeling on the floor with my kids and started to stand up. I started the old man grunt and push off the knee with my hands.
Unlike changes in vision, balance, posture, hand eye coordination, mobility and flexibility do not have to fall victim to age. They are use it or lose it.
I now incorporate training maintain these things age would like to steal. I still train somewhat like a bodybuilding but include functional training. You should as well.
Want to fight aging and need a place to start? If your current existence is sedentary… you sit in a car to go to work, then sit in a cubicle or office and then sit in the car to sit at home on your phone watching TV… just get moving. Start with a walk. No cost and it can be done anywhere.
Fighting Age and How to Make 40 the New 20 and 50 the New 25
My training looks like this (click here to get a complete program for yourself)
3–6 days per week for 20–45 minutes
Chest and Back (Push and Pull)
4 Exercises of each
8–12 Reps
Supersetted
Arms and Shoulders
3 Exercises of Each
8–12 Reps
Super or Trisetted
Legs
6–8 Exercises
6–20 Reps
I will train each of the above at least once per week.
In between those days I will do some functional training focused on fighting age.
My Functional Training
Trap Bar Deadlift
V Bar Pullup
Med Ball Goblet Squat
DB Lunge
Heavy Carry
One set of 10–15 of each, rest then repeat 4 more times. Basically, a giant set.
*Note done on a foam covered box in the video. I do them on a boxing heavy bag on the floor. Why? The heavy bag is somewhat unstable and allows me to work in some balance.
McGill Walk Tall Like You Own the World 15 Yards
Superset and repeat 3–10 Times.
Years continue to pass, there is grey in my beard and the protein is still in the jelly. I am actively fighting age and you should to.

I Lost 80 Pounds and My Confidence is Soaring
Time for Change
My breaking point was being diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes 5 years ago.My liver and kidneys were failing.  If I did not change my bad habits I would need mediation and dialysis. I made a deal with my doctor to give me some time to change my life around.  I didn’t want to go on any medications or dialysis at 25.
Obstacles
I quit smoking cold turkey and drastically changed my eating habits while fighting cravings.  My blood sugar was checked all the time and learned to meal plan. It was frustrating, I was way out of my comfort zone. There were times I felt completely sick.  My body was detoxing the chemicals I was putting in it for so many years.
I have triedMANY different dietsand exercise programs. Some worked, some didn’t. It’s constant work. I learned what worked for me and when to change something in my diet or workouts. I did research and trial and error.
My Plan for Change
For exercises I did 2 hours of cardio 6 days a week on the treadmill, elliptical, stair master, along with high knees, jumping jacks, and football drills. For weights the Push, Pull, Leg and leg day. I changed my workouts every 3-4 weeks. Â I increased my weights weekly.
The 80 Pounds Lighter More Confident Me
Being stronger has made my life better. I will be around for my kids. I feel I have purpose. I have found something that I am confident and great at.  It gave me my new career path ( Personal Trainer). 
I have confidence in myself that I never had before. My kids have seen how hard I’ve worked to get healthy. They have watched me train and not give up. I have met some amazing people in the process.
I have lost is 80lbs. I am proud of all that I’ve accomplished and the person I am today.
