Are You Guilty

So I was out having lunch the other day with Jenn. While we were sitting at the restaurant we noticed another one of our members. We will call her Nancy. Nancy is not her real name of course but that is the one we will use today. Anyways Nancy and Jenn and I had a really great talk while we were waiting for our food to come. But then Nancy said something that really caught my attention.

Nancy said she felt guilty about eating all this food. What? Nancy felt guilty eating her lunch because it wasn’t part of the meal plan her that I had developed. Continue Reading →

Coconut Oil: Where is the research?

I am a big believer  in coconut oil.  I eat either coconut oil or coconut mana every single day.  It tastes great, it is a more stable cooking oil than Olive oil, and has a better fat profile in both quantity and quality than any other oil I have come across.

Yet even though there are mountains of anecdotal evidence to its numerous health claims, oppontents still cry out “Where is the research?”  Now I am all for evidence based research but I don’t need a research paper to tell me that getting run over by a truck is going to hurt. Continue Reading →

Exercise For Better Learning

It has been theorized for a long time that exercising helps people learn.  In fact one of the experimental therapies used on children with learning disabilities has been to make them exercise more often than other children.  But the benefits don’s stop there.  Check out this article from Kids National Geographic.

Make sure you check out the last paragraph that talks about exercise and learning. Continue Reading →

How bad do you want it?

It is an inevitable truth with trying to reach any goal, especially body transformation.  At some point the actions necessary to reach your goals are going to come to a clash with your social life.  Or put more bluntly, at some point you are going to be asked to eat the birthday cake, even though all your friends and family know that you are trying not to eat crappy food.

What do you do? Continue Reading →

Squats! For Stronger Legs, A Leaner Body, And killer Curves

***********************************

Update! I spent all weekend working on it and the 6 Week Summer Slim Down is officially ready.  Go to BemidjiWeightLoss.com to check it out and sign up today.  This challenge starts on April 30th, and will have you ready to go in time for summer!

Make sure you watch the video, I am giving away one of my best secrets for free to everyone.

Okay back to the post

**********************************

When it comes to building an incredible physique there is no exercise that can compare to the awesome transformational powers of the Squat. The squat is a large total body exercise that takes control, power, and focus. It also has one of the strongest hormonal impacts of any strength exercise.

Remember that your hormones control your body.  Whether you want to burn fat, build muscle, or create killer curves, stimulating your hormones is what you need to do.

See, the primary movers of the squat are your hips, but the weight is connected to your shoulders or hands.  This means that you have to brace and use your ENTIRE body to perform it correctly.  This means that you are going to get a massive Growth Hormone dump through out your entire body.  The Growth Hormone will melt fat all all over your body while repairing the damaged muscles you just stimulated.

I could sit here and go on and on about the benefits of squatting and how it is the “king” of exercises, but that is not why I am here. That is not why you are here. You are more interested in the how. So let’s get to it. How to squat for stronger legs, a leaner body, and killer curves. Continue Reading →
