Boot Camp Success: Tough Workouts, Lose Fat, and Lose Weight

Minneapolis Personal Trainer Brings Best Out of Boot Camp Clients

Personal trainer Adam Erwin might be in Wayzata at daybreak, in Eden Prairie by 10am, Edina at noon, Minnetonka by 3pm, and in his office at night to walk through the next day's plan for his clients.  In addition to spear-heading vigorous workouts for his boot camp clients, he also emails them their daily menu and exercise plan, delivers accountability (sending text messages, emails, and phone calls to his clients throughout the day to make sure the details of each plan are being followed), and walks with his clients through their body change success journey.

One mother of two is down 10% on her body fat test.  A musician is sporting a notch on his belt he hasn't touched in three years.  And a 52 year-old woman who hasn't worn a pair of shoes in over two years (thanks to a car accident and several reconstructive surgeries) is now walking normally up and down stairs in her brand new shoes!

Boot camp might mean weight loss for some clients or "get my life back" for others.  To this personal trainer, it's all about helping his clients live the perfect nutrition and exercise day for as many days as he is hired.

Boot Camp Success: Tough Workouts

When working through one of Adam's boot camps, you may find yourself chopping wood one day, running hill intervals the next day, or swinging kettle bells the day after that.  Few trainers can get the body to respond to a workout like Adam.  If your body is stuck and the same old routine isn't doing the trick, sending an email to adam@keepyourbetterhalf.com should be your next move.

Boot Camp Success: Lose Fat

Many boot camps focus on burning calories at any cost, with little attention to what type of calories are being burned.  Adam is a fat loss expert, one of the few personal trainers who studies how to help the body burn fat through exercise and proper nutrition.  If wearing a heart monitor is your idea of losing fat (or your trainer's idea, yikes!), it's time to send an email to adam@keepyourbetterhalf.com to learn more about how he can help you burn more fat in less time.

Boot Camp Success: Lose Weight

Few things are more exciting than hopping on the scale to see a lower number or looking in the mirror to see less chins.  When nutrition and exercise are built in a way to maximize your day (and then your perfect day is executed for a few weeks in a row), the response from your body can be extraordinary.  If losing weight is the goal of this holiday season, send an email to adam@keepyourbetterhalf.com now!

Best Weight Loss Foods According to a Minneapolis-Based Personal Trainer (Part II)

Part II: Top Ten Foods to Help You Lose Fat and Lose Weight

I just finished up with a six-week project with a client.  As we closed up our program today, he told me what a difference the food selections had made for him.  Rob had seen some specialists about his hypoglycemic tendencies and none of them provide him with solutions that made a difference.  We were able to pinpoint some ideas for him that proved to be difference makers.

Here are the top five best weight loss and fat loss foods (by food I mean consummable goods...not necessarily solids).

Fifth Best Weight Loss Food: Lamb

Like I said before, protein helps the stomach to achieve a sense of fullness.  4 oz of lamb is low in calories (107), moderately low in fat (3.5g), and acceptably high in protein (19g).  Like fish, it has mild anti-inflammatory properties about it, which means it won't wreak havoc in the body like chicken or beef can.  Lamb is also high in vitamin B12, which means it can give you a nice little shot of energy (but probably not like the B12 injections Roger Clemens apparently received). If you'd like to know more about how to maximize lamb, email me at adam@rapidresultsfitnessmn.com to learn more about "The Little E-Book on Fat Loss and Weight Loss."

Fourth Best Weight Loss Food: Goat Whey

For reasons we may never understand, goat milk is as close as it gets to human milk.  Therefore, it is easy for us to digest and we absorb it well.  A serving of goat whey (check out Oryx Goat Whey by Vyotech) is packed with protein (30g), low in cholesterol, fat, and carbs (20 mg, 1g, 2g), and is loaded with leucine (a branch-chain amino acid) so it helps your body recover well after a workout.  For the absorption and easy digestion, goat whey is a great source of protein.  As we all know, good sources of protein feed muscle and encourage the body to preserve muscle (and therefore burn fat!). If you'd like to know more about how to maximize goat whey, email me at adam@rapidresultsfitnessmn.com to learn more about "The Little E-Book on Fat Loss and Weight Loss."

Third Best Weight Loss Food: Cucumber

Where do I begin? Cucumbers (raw, this is not code for a pickle!) have almost zero calories, zero carbs, zero cholesterol, zero fat, and zero protein.  They are water rich, highly alkaline, and therefore a very high energy food.  If you are ever tired (mentally, physically), eat half a cucumber (or an entire one) and become alive again in energy!  If you ate a cucumber everyday, for a snack for example, you would be unstoppable! If you'd like to know more about how to maximize cucumber, email me at adam@rapidresultsfitnessmn.com to learn more about "The Little E-Book on Fat Loss and Weight Loss."

Second Best Weight Loss Food: Wheatgrass

Truly a super food, wheatgrass is an amazingly abundant source of energy.  It helps activate the thyroid, alkalizes the body, cleanses the blood, lowers blood pressure.  Wheatgrass (juice form) will help your body function optimally.  If you body functions optimally, you can burn calories more effectively, have mor abundant energy, and on and on and on and on.  If you'd like to know more about how to maximize wheatgrass, email me at adam@rapidresultsfitnessmn.com to learn more about "The Little E-Book on Fat Loss and Weight Loss."

Best Weight Loss Food: ???

I've already given you nine great tips.  Did you think I was going to give away the farm?  If you want to get the whole enchilada (and no, the top food is not an enchilada), you will have to get a copy of the "Little Ebook on Fat Loss and Weight Loss".  If you'd like to know more about how to maximize the #1 best weight loss food, email me at adam@rapidresultsfitnessmn.com to learn more about "The Little E-Book on Fat Loss and Weight Loss."
