Week One Down

So today was the end of the first week of the October sesssions of Round One Bootcamp. It's been a full week of burpees, Power cleans, squats and lunges. Everyone is working very hard towards their goals whether that be to increase endurance, lose body fat, tone or increase muscular body weight. A great week and plenty of more to come. Enjoy your couple of days off!!!

The program is designed to help shed body fat and increase your endurance and body tone. So what kind of body fat loss can be expected over the next 4wks? I usually tell people that the key to body fat reduction is follow a weight training program that incorporates excercises that use a lot of muscles simulataneously. By doing this, you increase the total lactic acid throughout the body leading to increae in GH levels which ultimately leads to fat loss. Also, the amount of calories you burn post workout with this type of program increases substantially where you can still be burning calories 3-6 hours after the workout. The power of weight training circuits and interval training!

Another important ascpect is the your nutritional intake. In fact, the types of food you ingest at the right time is 60-70% of your Fat Loss results! You can follow the Round One Bootcamp program to a tee but if you are eating bon bons, McDonalds or just eating crackers all day you won't see much if any results from the workouts. This is the primary reason I teamed up with Precision Nutrition recently. Please go to my site, www.roundonebootcamp.com and link to the Precision Nutriton area of the site. Here you will see all the parts of the program you will get by registering in the Precision Nutrtion Consulting 16wk program. Also, you can check out Dr. Berardi's site at: http://www.precisionnutrition.com/products/system to get more details about the program. If you not interested in ordering the program without the 16wk consulting program, be sure to contact me as I can save on some shipping costs for you!

There is only One Week Left to register in the discounted program. Don't miss out!!! Contact me at: knockoutps@gmail.com for futher details.

So we are into our first week of the October session of Round One Bootcamp. Everyone is working so hard and is committed to the program. We have had participants who came in the first day despite having played over 7 indoor soccer games the day before. One camper even came in on her bad ankle which she reinjured again playing soccer. I have been told I can't stop her from coming and it truly is an inspriation to see her go through the tough drills.Lots' of heart.

Today, many were sore from the other day but did their very best to get through the workout again. Awesome work everyone!!!

Best Foods for Fat Burning

Best Foods for Fat Burning By: Craig Ballantyne, CSCS, MSTurbulence Training for Fat Loss

I couldn't be any simpler with my nutrition recommendations for fat burning. You will get have the most energy and the best body and fitness level possible if you eat whole, natural foods. I always ask Dr. Chris Mohr, author of the Turbulence Training for Fat Loss Nutrition Guidelines if I ever need help with nutrition information.

You must avoid processed foods, which is pretty much anything in a bag or a box. So cut out muffins, donuts, pre-packaged cereals, white bread, pasta, chips, crackers, cookies, etc.
We need to return to a time of simpler eating, focusing on fruits, vegetables, nuts, lean proteins, and healthy fats. It will take some "bad habit breaking" to rid yourself of your addiction to processed foods, but in your journey you will learn to appreciate the taste of REAL food again.
You don't have to eat meat to lose fat and build muscle, but it's not unhealthy to eat beef, chicken, and fish. In fact, fish contains essential fatty acids we can't do without.

You might have heard about the importance of healthy fats, which is a big turn-around from the low-fat mentality of the 80's and 90's. We now know eating fish and nuts won't make us fat, but will in fact make us healthy and help control our appetite.

So just focus on foods that haven't been processed, and you'll start to see changes in your body and energy levels in a matter of days. Get rid of the processed foods and you won't be tired anymore!

I strongly believe nutrition is the MOST important factor in fat loss and in health. If you're eating processed foods, trans-fats, and too many calories, you won't get maximum benefits from your exercise program, no matter what you are doing. Nutrition can either heal you or kill you, so choose wisely. Fortunately, the right choices are the simple choices.

I've had clients that switched to whole, natural foods and almost overnight they've reported changes in their bodies and huge increases in mental energy. So stick with the simple nutrition approach for fat burning.
