Fat loss is way less complicated than many ‘fitness experts’ make it out to be. That’s why Angie and I are committed to simplifying the process for you and help you cut through all the overwhelm and confusion that holds so many people back.

Fat loss gets even simpler when you look at what you do in addition to your workout and nutrition plan, because the REAL SECRET to losing weight quickly and permanently is in the “little things” you do throughout your day!

For example, in this video, my buddy Jeff Anderson shares two sneaky and simple tricks to burn fat faster and boost your motivation…

Here’s the link to the 27 second trick that Jeff mentions in the video: Fast Fat Loss Trick

I love the 6 pack abs smoothie recipe that Jeff shared. I’ll definitely be making one of those tonight!

Here’s where it all began… In my parents cold basement, a simple bench, concrete filled dumbbells, and a York 2000 home gym. At the age of 14, in this very spot, staring at posters of Arnold Schwazenegger and Jean-Claude Van Damme, listening to Public Enemy and Rage Against Machine, I declared to my friends that I would own a health club and become a fitness expert.

Oh, if these walls could talk This is where I developed the intense fascination with the ability of the human body to transform and continually improve.

…and today, I have a fun video interview with my dad, who at the age of 58 continues to transform his physique. In the past year my dad has released 22 pounds. Despite what others say, my dad says that it could actually be easier to transform your body in your 50’s and beyond. Watch this video to hear his reasoning behind this…

I’m excited to introduce you to John Barban, the creator of the Adonis Effect (for men) and the Venus Index (for women). I have become completely hooked on John’s podcast and blown away with the quality of content that John and his team share on their blog every week. Their message resonates with me more than anything else out there, and what really strikes me is their no B.S. approach and lack of hype. They simply tell it like it is.

I recorded a recent conversation that I had with John, where we do some serious fat loss straight talk. You can watch our conversation or download the audio below. Enjoy!

You can also download the audio version of this interview to listen to on your mp3 player by right clicking and saving Fat Loss Straight Talk mp3

At the end of the conversation John and I bring up some of his recent podcasts about the errors in counting calories that are burned as well as the errors in counting calories consumed. This is very enlightening information that you should become aware of, even if you don’t enjoy counting calories. Here are links to the two podcasts…

One of the members from my local gym recently asked the question, “How often should I work my abs?“ I recorded a video, which reveals the answer to this question as well as some very key issues that you must be aware of when it comes to achieving great abs, plus, my Top 6 Abs Exercises!

Here’s some key points about working your abs…

The most important point to clear up is that it doesn’t matter how many abs exercises you do or how often you work them, if they are covered with a layer of fat, you’ll never see them.

The way to remove the fat around your belly is to create a caloric deficit by consuming fewer calories than you burn on a daily basis. It’s as simple as that. There’s no magic bullet.

There are some common questions that Angie and I receive from our valued readers and customers who are just starting out in their fat loss journey. Questions such as, “How much weight should I lift while I workout?”

I was about to record some videos to answer these fat loss questions, but realized that my friend Craig Ballantyne, the creator of Turbulence Training, had some great videos with great beginner workout advice…

That was some great advice from Craig and a great demonstration. I especially like the advice about not going all out in the beginning, while you find the weight that’s right for you. I see some people go overboard when they start out and they are too sore to continue for the week, which sometimes leads to them giving up all together.

Angie and I also receive a fair amount of questions from beginners who find that Interval Training is too difficult for them to perform. In the following video, Craig offers some great advice on this topic…

I found Craig’s advice on Beginner Interval Training to be awesome! It’s a great combination of low impact body weight movements along with some stretching. The Interval splits times are perfect for beginners too!

If you haven’t already done so, I recommend that you check out Craig’s Turbulence Training programs. He offers quite a variety of workouts, so there’s something for everyone.

Did you pick up any tips from these videos that you will apply today? We’d love to hear from you in the comment box below…

I have some important questions to ask you today about workout variety, but first I want to share some insights on a really cool gift that I received from my 90 year old personal training client. It’s an old school fitness book from 1958 called the “5 BX Plan”…

The 5 BX Plan is a fitness program that was created for the Royal Canadian Armed Forces and really put Canadian fitness on the map. It was designed to improve the level of physical fitness of the Armed Forces as well as become a means of measuring their fitness level. It was made available to the public and sold over 20 million copies.
