Strong is the New Sexy

More Muscle + Proper Nutrition = Fit and Sexy

Lift Heavy or Go Home!

Today’s Post is about the NEW Revolution in Sexy. Women all across the world are starting to realize and embracing the fact that muscle is the New Sexy.

I can tell you from personal experience because my clients are getting ripped and loving it. Most women that I first come into contact with when discussing health and fitness goals have some preconceived fear that if they lift heavy weights they will become muscle bound and bulky…making them look “manly”.  This could not be further from the truth, and there are three basic reasons why.

1. Muscle is more dense than fat – because muscle is more dense it takes up less space or volume per pound than fat does.  In fact, adding muscle tone over the entire body will actually cause you to shrink.  More muscle changes everything from your metabolism to your posture. These positive changes happen with as little as 2-5 pounds of lean muscle.
2. Women are not hormonally designed to build large amounts of muscle – most women think that if they lift weights they will end up looking like Arnold Schwarzenegger, but this just cannot happen because women do not produce the right hormones to increase muscle size like that.  Women, in general, do not produce enough testosterone to promote rapid muscle growth.  I’m not saying that women cannot produce muscle, they can.  I’m simply saying that women are not designed to build muscle the way a man is able to.  Strength training will produce muscle growth in women, just not to the extent that it does in a man. “I always joke with my female clients that if they put on too much muscle I’ll put you on stage and we’ll start their new career.”
3. Women are not bio-mechanically designed to support large amounts of muscle – a woman’s hips are typically wider than their shoulders, and their skeletal frame cannot hold lots of muscle like their male counterparts.  Because men have wide shoulders their skeleton can support more muscle mass in the upper body.  It’s simple physics, and a woman lifting heavy weights is not going to change that. Once I’m able to assist my clients to create that paradigm shift a whole new world opens to the capability to change their body through weight training and lifting heavier weights.

My Top 10 list of crazy ass statements I’ve heard from prospects and clients about weight training and women getting bulky.

1. More Protein will make me bulky
2. I have big bones
3. My legs blow up after one workout
4. I can’t eat that it has fat in it
5. I don’t eat carbs they make me bulky
6. I have broad shoulders
7. I’ll look like a Boy
8. I have Man Calves
9. Squatting make my Ass Bigger ( No Eat too much makes your Ass Bigger)
10. Lifting more than 5 pounds dumbbells will cause my arms to bulk

As I began this post I wanted to change the mindset that women lifting weights and gaining muscle is a positive results and part of a new revolution in female fitness. With proper nutrition and a systematize weight training plan women can gain lean muscle and receive all the benefits as men do from a strong sexy body. Celebrities like Jessica Biel, Holly Berry, Hillary Swank come to mind when I think of fit and sexy Hollywood superstars.

I recommend keeping the program simple yet high intensity because you will have a higher success rate of completion and results. My 28 day belly fat diet is simple, fast and very effective in helping women get the tight, tone, firm look without hiring me and paying me thousands of dollars to help sculpt your rock hard sexy body. If you’re looking for a workout program  check out my girl Holly Rigsby’s  Fit Yummy Mummy Home workout DVD Program, it rocks and goes well with the 28 day belly fat diet program.

40 Never Looked So Good

I highly recommend you check out Holly’s Kit, she’s a mother, entrepreneur, and she makes no excuses for not staying Fit and Sexy.

So until next time go out there, lift heavy, get strong, and create the Sexy New You Today.

When Life Beats you up, Punch Life Back in the Face

Fitness|Strength|Confidence

What’s the big idea about women taking kickboxing classes across the country? Why are more and more women taking self defense classes and private lessons to learn the art of self defense? Women’s boxing first appeared in the Olympic Games at a demonstration bout in 1902. For most of the 20th century, however, it was banned in most nations. Its revival was pioneered by the Swedish Amateur Boxing Association, which sanctioned events for women in 1988. The British Amateur Boxing Association sanctioned its first boxing competition for women in 1997. The first event was to be between two thirteen-year old, but one of the boxers withdrew because of hostile media attention. Four weeks later, an event was held between two sixteen-year olds. The A.I.B.A. accepted new rules for Women’s Boxing at the end of the 20th century and approved the first European Cup for Women in 1999 and the first World Championship for women in 2001. Women’s boxing was not featured at the 2008 Olympics; however, on 14 August 2009, it was announced that the International Olympic Committee’s Executive Board (EB) had approved the inclusion of women’s boxing for the Games in London in the 2012 Olympics

NEVER GIVE UP OR QUIT ON YOUR DREAMS

Good Morning and Happy Monday. Today’s message is about never quitting on yourself and your goals. Over my 34 years being blessed to be on this amazing planet I’ve seen, heard, and experienced some good times, bad times and all in between. I like to tell you a story about 2 guys who were pushed to the limit but never gave up.

A few years back I met these two guys and they were young entrepreneurs’ and very ambitious. They told me about their goals and ambitions with such passion and excitement. I could tell that the older one was the leader because he never stopped talking, but the younger one was a silent assassin with a burning desire to achieve greatness.

As we discussed their grand plans for world domination I could see many holes in their plan, but who was I to add my two cents and negative energy to their dreams. The older of the two guys had this glow about him that was contagious and inviting. He made you want to hear more about his plans and how he was going to accomplish them. He also made you really want to see him succeed.
After our last meeting, time went on and I didn’t run into the two guys or think about them until one day something attracted me to Starbucks. I don’t drink coffee too much but this morning I felt the need for caffeine. I pulled in tired and not really wanting human interaction this early in the morning. As I’m waiting on this annoying long morning caffeine line, in walks this guy with his head down and looking sad. It didn’t take me long to see that it was the older guy I had met about 6 months ago.

The only difference was he had lost his glow. I said good morning, and he replied, “Hey” I could see he was distressed and I wasn’t really into talking but when someone looks in pain I can’t help but try and help.

It didn’t take long to get a conversation going and to find out this once ambitious super excited entrepreneur had left this guys body and replaced it with someone else. I told you the line was long Right?

So I was able to do some fact finding and found out that the two guys were going through some challenges with their dreams. They had hit a few road blocks, pot holes, and detours on the highway to success. I asked if I could help, but he replied not if you can’t help me get out of this rut I’m in. I replied I just may be able if you tell me what’s going on. He went into his long sob story, which really boiled down to he had lost his excitement and was thinking about quitting on his dreams.

After sitting down and listening for about 10 minutes I offered some advice and pointed him in the direction of one of my favorite books. I also gave him my cell phone number and told him to call me if he needed to talk. I didn’t hear from him again for about 3 months then out of the blue he called.

His voice had changed back to the voice I remember when I first met him. He sounded like he found his Mojo, and was on fire with life again. I asked him what he had been up to the last few months and he told me that he went that very same day we met in Starbucks and purchased the book The Magic of Thinking Big by Dr. David J. Schwartz.

He wanted to thank me for recommending the book and helping him get his life back on track. He said that life had began to beat him down, and he had lost the ability to think big and focus on his goals and dreams. He also shared how close he and his young partner were to quitting and closing his business. He also was super excited to tell me all about the past three months and how their lives had changed.

Once their power of focus and positive energy was regained their business changed and began to succeed. He explained that the book helped them learn about the power of setting big goals, and never quitting on them no matter what the challenges are. I was so happy to hear this because I knew these guys had something special and I’m just glad I could share a few nuggets of wisdom. Sometimes when things aren’t going well we all think about quitting and giving up on our dreams, but that’s when we have to dig deep and push through the tough times.

In life we all will have to experience some tough and downright shitty times, but during those times we develop our character. You might be thinking or already guessed who this story is about, Yes It’s Mr. Nutrition and Yours Truly Coach Rahz. The book I referred to really is a personally favorite and helped me get through a very tough period in my life about 12 months ago. Yeah just 12 short months ago Breakthroughs To Fitness was at a cross road and had to make some difficult decisions. After rereading David’s book Greg and I set out to create the Best most talked about Fat Loss Studio On Long Island, and we’re proud to say the doors are open for business.

We are still running into challenges but now we know how to handle them and not to over react to them. You may be having trouble losing those last 10 or 15 pounds, Don’t Quit. You may be having challenges with your wife/husband or significant other don’t give up. You may be feeling life is beating you down and you’re alone don’t quit. When money may be tight and you’re feeling the squeeze don’t give up.

I can share my sob stories with you all day, but I choose not to because They don’t serve me or you, but what I will share is just when things seem to be at their worst they usually get better because you didn’t quit. Don’t allow yourself to play small. Dream Big, Set Huge Badass Goals and go after them with every ounce of energy you have, because what’s the alternative? living a life that Sux and you’re not happy.

Greg and I have a very Big Ambitious Goal of helping 1000 women transform their lives through health and fitness by the end of 2012. I plan on achieving that goal and I sincerely hope if you are reading this you are one of them. I’ll leave you with one of my favorite poems.

Don’t Quit

When things go wrong as they sometimes will,
When the road you’re trudging seems all up hill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but don’t you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don’t give up though the pace seems slow–
You may succeed with another blow,
Success is failure turned inside out–
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far;
So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit–
It’s when things seem worst that you must not quit.

Carbohydrates made Simple

Eat Well Train Hard, and Live with Passion

Carbohydrates have been misrepresented and given a bad name because of popular fad diets and health professional who aren’t willing to do their due diligence to know the facts about this fundamental macro-nutrient. I want to shed some light on the subject without getting too scientific. Carbohydrates provide the body with fuel it needs for physical activity and for proper organ function, and they are an important part of a healthy diet. But some kinds of carbohydrates are far better than others.

What Are Carbohydrates?

Carbohydrates are found in a wide array of foods—bread, beans, milk, popcorn, potatoes, cookies, spaghetti, soft drinks, corn, and cherry pie. They also come in a variety of forms. The most common and abundant forms are sugars, fibers, and starches.

The basic building block of every carbohydrate is a sugar molecule, a simple union of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Starches and fibers are essentially chains of sugar molecules. Some contain hundreds of sugars. Some chains are straight, others branch wildly.

Carbohydrates were once grouped into two main categories. Simple carbohydrates included sugars such as fruit sugar (fructose), corn or grape sugar (dextrose or glucose), and table sugar (sucrose). Complex carbohydrates included everything made of three or more linked sugars. Complex carbohydrates were thought to be the healthiest to eat, while simple carbohydrates weren’t so great. It turns out that the picture is more complicated than that.

The digestive system handles all carbohydrates in much the same way—it breaks them down (or tries to break them down) into single sugar molecules, since only these are small enough to cross into the bloodstream. It also converts most digestible carbohydrates into glucose (also known as blood sugar), because cells are designed to use this as a universal energy source.

Now that we know what they are and what they do in our bodies, let’s talk about good carbs vs. bad carbs.

Bad Carbs List: Aka Simple Sugars- BAD with a Capital (B) These Carbs Increase Belly Fat

The most important simple carbohydrates to limit in your diet include:

• Soda
• Candy
• Artificial syrups
• Sugar
• White rice, white bread, and white pasta
• Potatoes (which are technically a complex carb, but act more like simple carbs in the body)
• Pastries and desserts

Good Carbs List: Aka Complex Carbohydrates

Complex carbohydrates are considered “good” because of the longer series of sugars that make them up and take the body more time to break down. They generally have a lower glycemic load, which means that you will get lower amounts of sugars released at a more consistent rate — instead of peaks and valleys —to keep you going throughout the day.

Picking complex carbohydrates over simple carbohydrates is a matter of making some simple substitutions when it comes to your meals. Having brown rice instead of white rice, having whole-wheat pasta instead of plain white pasta are better choices if reducing your belly fat is your goal. You may have heard of the term glycemic index which refers to the effect a specific food has on a person’s blood sugar.  Carbohydrates that break down quickly during digestion and release glucose rapidly into the bloodstream have a high GI; carbohydrates that break down more slowly, releasing glucose more gradually into the bloodstream, have a low GI. If release fat from your belly is your goal then pick food that have a low GI number. Here my list of five Complex Carbs you should have in your diet.

• Sweet Potatoes
• Brown Rice
• Banana
• Chick Peas
• Lentils

My Favorite 5 Fat Burning Carbs

1. 1. Oatmeal (Steel Cut Oats)
2. 2. Kale
3. 3. Black Beans
4. 4. Blackberries
5. 5. Sweet Potatoes

Bonus: Cinnamon and Chili Pepper add spice and kick to your fat burning food selections.

When picking your carbohydrates always select them according to what your activity level is going to be for the day. For example eating a bowl of grapes at 10pm isn’t the best idea because most people will be going to bed shortly after eating the grapes. Having grapes with a protein source for a mid morning snack on a workout day is a much better fat blasting decision. I hope this short article serves you, and please feel free to email me with your question and comments.

As always Eat Well, Train Hard, and Live with Passion.

Is Sugar making you Look OLD?

Guest Post from the Dynamic Kettle-Bell Diva, Coach Annamaria

NOT ONLY DOES SUGAR CAUSE WEIGHT GAIN BUT SKIN DAMAGE (aging skin/wrinkles) AS WELL!!!

At about age 35-40 not only does our body begin to change but so does our skin. SUGAR is one of our biggest culprits. Foods with high glycemic indexes, such as white bread, pasta and potatoes not only cause weight gain but aging, sagging, wrinkled skin. Not only does it attach to places that are unwanted to our body but now to the skin/face by attaching to the collagen and elastin and damaging it.
So, how do we correct this? Is it too late? NO, it’s never too late when it comes to our body and or skin. First step is to LOWER your sugar intake and limit the added sugars. Focus on good carbohydrates.

The Second step is to REBUILD–Collagen and elastin fibers in your skin can be restored. Third step is to take your MULTI VITAMIN. Vitamin B, C and E in particular are known to be collagen boosters.
Of note, topical skin care products that contain antioxidants–Vitamin A, C and E also support the collagen and elastin of your skin. Excellent food sources include red grapes, dark green veggies such as broccoli, spinach and kale along with acai berries and pomegranates.

Oh and don’t forget, even if you are younger, good habits will have you a step ahead.
So ladies, BACK OFF the SUGAR, be COMMITTED and Say HELLO to a HEALTHIER BODY with YOUNGER LOOKING SKIN!!

Best (and worst) Nuts For Weight Loss

Oyster Bay Fitness Trainer Reveals Healthy Belly Fat Fighting Secret

Are Nuts healthy? Can they help fight melt belly fat? The answer to both those question is a Big Hell Yes my friends. Nuts are great and they should be in your daily diet plan every daily. Nuts have many benefits including many I have listened below, not to mention they help melt off the belly fat.

If you search for diets or diet books on the internet, you come up with many different books or diet plans that guarantee losing weight fast.  Some of these diet plans are healthy, while some of them are not so healthy.  The best way to lose weight, and keep it off, is to watch what you eat and exercise.

A healthy diet full of fruits, vegetables, plenty of fiber, plenty of essential vitamins and minerals, and high-quality lean proteins will help trim your waistline.   Having a healthy breakfast, lunch, and dinner are great ways to maintain adequate calories for weight loss.  However, sometimes you get hungry mid-morning or mid-afternoon and you have trouble finding the right snack to eat.

Nuts are a great food to snack on.  They are full of fiber, healthy fats like mono and polyunsaturated fats, and low in saturated fats.   Nuts are also full of high-quality proteins and provide a great pick-me-up during those hungry times during the day.  A handful of nuts can be great for satisfying your hunger and helping you to lose weight.

Here is a list of the best (and worst) nuts for helping you lose weight fast!

1) Almonds

Nutrient Breakdown (1 ounce)

Calories: 164
Total Fat:  14 grams
Saturated Fat: 1.1 grams
Monounsaturated Fats: 9.1 grams
Polyunsaturated Fats: 3.5 grams
Fiber: 3.3 grams
Protein: 6 grams

Almonds are a little powerhouse of nutrition.   With heart healthy mono and polyunsaturated fats, almonds have been recommended to help reduce total cholesterol and raise HDL cholesterol.   Almonds are low in carbohydrates, but high in fiber.  Almonds also have high levels of Vitamin E, which is great for the eyes and possibly the skin.   Almonds also have phytosterols found in the skin, which have been shown helpful in reducing cholesterol and protecting the heart.

2) Cashews

Nutrient Breakdown (1 ounce)

Calories: 163
Total Fat:  13 grams
Saturated Fat: 2.6 grams
Monounsaturated Fats: 7.7 grams
Polyunsaturated Fats: 2.2 grams
Fiber: 0.9 grams
Protein: 4 grams

Cashews are a great nut for helping battle both Diabetes and Heart Disease.  Cashews do have a higher fat content than most nuts, but the fat found in cashews can be considered a healthy fat.   Higher levels of mono and polyunsaturated fats make this a perfect snack for heart patients or people looking to watch their dietary fat intake.   Cashews have adequate levels of magnesium and copper, which are minerals needed to maintain proper functioning.

3) Peanuts

Nutrient Breakdown (1 ounce)

Calories: 166
Total Fat: 14 grams
Saturated Fat: 2.0 grams
Monounsaturated Fats: 7.0 grams
Polyunsaturated Fats: 4.4 grams
Fiber: 11.7 grams
Protein: 7 grams

Not only are peanuts loaded with fat-fighting fiber, but they are abundant in plenty of vitamins and minerals that have been shown to fight some diseases, including cardiovascular disease and some cancers.  Peanuts have niacin, Co-enzyme Q10, plenty of antioxidants, and Resveratrol, which has been linked to reduction in cardiovascular disease and some cancers.

4) Walnuts

Nutrient Breakdown (1 ounce)

Calories: 185
Total Fat: 18 grams
Saturated Fat: 1.7 grams
Monounsaturated Fats: 2.5 grams
Polyunsaturated Fats: 13.4 grams
Fiber: 1.9 grams
Protein: 4 grams

Walnuts are a great source of heart healthy fats, with high levels of polyunsaturated fats, which has been linked to lower cardiovascular risk factors.   Considered by some to be the best nut for better heart health, walnuts have been shown to decrease damage from free radicals to certain cells.  The reason for this: walnuts are chock full of antioxidants, which have been shown to reduce damage caused by oxidative stress.

5) Pecans

Nutrient Breakdown (1 ounce)

Calories: 196
Total Fat: 20 grams
Saturated Fat: 1.8 grams
Monounsaturated Fats: 11.6 grams
Polyunsaturated Fats: 6.1 grams
Fiber: 10.4 grams
Protein: 3 grams

At 10.4 grams of fiber, you are getting roughly 10% of your daily intake in 1 ounce of pecans.  So if the fiber content blew your mind, wait for this:  Pecans have an immense amount of the heart healthy fats that can help lower LDL cholesterol, and raise our good HDL cholesterol.  Under 200 calories, pecans provide a healthy supply of Vitamin A, potassium, calcium, and other trace minerals that our body needs for optimal functioning.

6) Macadamia Nuts

Nutrient breakdown (1 ounce)

Calories: 203
Total Fat: 22 grams
Saturated Fat: 3.4 grams
Monounsaturated Fats: 16.8 grams
Polyunsaturated Fats: 0.4 grams
Fiber: 2.3 grams
Protein: 2 grams

Macadamia nuts, like other tree nuts, have been shown beneficial in helping to reduce total and LDL cholesterol and triglycerides, and are recommended in a heart healthy diet.  Having a high amount of mon-unsaturated fats, these nuts can be an alternative to other nuts for helping reduce cardiovascular risk factors.

7) Pistachios

Nutrient breakdown (1 ounce)

Calories: 161
Total Fat: 13 grams
Saturated Fat: 1.6 grams
Monounsaturated Fats: 6.8 grams
Polyunsaturated Fats: 3.9 grams
Fiber: 2.9 grams
Protein: 6 grams

Try to limit this nut:

1) Coconuts

Nutrient breakdown (1 cup shredded)

Calories: 283
Total Fat:  27 grams
Saturated Fat: 23.8 grams
Monounsaturated Fats: 1.1 grams
Polyunsaturated Fats: 0.3 grams
Fiber: 7.2 grams
Protein: 3 grams

Coconuts are very high in calories and saturated fats, and low in the good mono and polyunsaturated fats.  Even though there are high levels of fiber, coconuts are a food that should be consumed in moderation if you want to lose weight.  The total amount of calories and fat grams, especially saturated fat, can be a concern for people who are looking to lose weight and lower risk factors for cardiovascular disease.

Accidental Discovery that will help you Lose 8-15 in 28 Days

ATTENTION —-> Locust Valley, Glen Cove, Sea Cliff, Oyster Bay Residents

A couple of days ago I sent out a email to my list telling them all about the new accidental discovery I made with a few of my personal training clients (who I used as test subjects)

…that’s code for “Guinea Pigs”

The BIG discovery I made could get me in major trouble with a lot of gyms, trainers, and supplement companies who want your money, but aren’t interested in getting you results.

Since sending that email out on Monday I’ve gotten a boatload of responses from people who want to be in the first ever “beta test group” called Flat Belly Bootcamp to validate my fat burning discovery.

Actually, I was a bit overwhelmed with how many people replied back so quickly and asked to be in my beta test group.

So I’ve finalized the program and here’s how it’s going to work.

I’m calling it Flat Belly Bootcamp

The entire program length is customized to your end goal result you want to achieve. We will work with you until you hit your goal and we refuse to let you fail.

- I’m going to provide you with a done for you meal plan crafted by Mr. Nutrition (you’ll meet him one day) to help you increase your metabolism and burn fat. (This is NOT a diet, it’s a meal plan optimized for fat loss where all you have to do is read it, and eat it).

-Along with that you will have a supplement checklist (all natural supplements none of those funky ones that have side effects) to complement your meal plans and workouts to accelerate the fat loss

-You’ll need to workout with me 3x per week in a group setting during Flat Belly Bootcamp.

- The workouts will be challenging, even hard at times but never impossible. And you’ll always have motivation and accountability from me and the rest of the group.

-Here’s the best part…even though we’re going to work on burning fat, flattening the belly, and defining those abs, we’re not going to do any of that long boring cardio (imagine that, having a sexy mid section without doing long boring cardio).

- You can expect to drop between 8-15 lbs a month and see a dramatic change in your body in just 28 days.

- The program starts this coming Monday.

Now, typically my clients pay between $280-$900 a month to get personal training from me.

But since this is going to be the first time (beta group) that I try out this program on “non clients,” I’m going to only charge you $21 for the first 21 days of your training and meal plans.

There’s no catch with the price. I want you to experience this formula I discovered with zero risk so you are confident it will work for you. After 21 days if you love it, and I know you will, we will roll you into the full blown Flat Belly Bootcamp at our extremely low rate of $157 a month.

But there’s one small challenge….

I can only take on 22 people for the beta test group because I want to be sure I can give individual participant plenty of attention (not like those other bootcamps that just put you in herds of 30-40 people at a time)… I believe in keeping the program small and giving you a TON of close attention.

To lock in one of the 22 spots for yourself just give me a call at 516-203-4534 to get into this amazing “beta test” program.

Committed to your fat loss results,

Eat Well, Train Hard, and Live with Passion!

P.S. So you know there is truth behind this experiment, we trained one of the Miss Long Island Pageant participants Elaina Estrada in this program and she went on to take 3rd runner up. Mind you there were 357 women who applied and she made it to the final 4 women for the title of Miss Long Island.
