Our personal trainers serving Houston and Spring Texas are here to guide you, motivate you, pass on knowledge, and be your partner in your fitness and body transformation progress. Whatever your current level,
a personal trainer can get you to the next level and beyond. Our very knowledgeable and experienced male

eating plan and dietary recommendations
Whether your goal is losing fat, building muscle or
general fitness, what you eat, when to eat, and how much to eat
affects your results greatly! Your personal trainer will
customize an eating plan for you.
-
weight and resistance training program
Muscle is the key to so many things: keeping your metabolism in
check, reducing osteoporosis, improving your strength and
coordination, and improving your overall body shape. A personal
trainer keeps you lifting correctly and progressing.
If your problem is losing fat, cardio is part of the solution.
How much cardio, when to do it, what type of cardio is best, and how
to tell if it is effective are what your personal trainer will teach
you.
-
supplement recommendations
Supplements help you achieve your goals faster. Depending on
your goals, age, experience, and other factors, your supplement needs
differ. Your personal trainer will customize your supplement program for you.

Sleep for Weight Loss
A combination of diet and exercise is the best method of choice for
people who want to control their weight. Strange as it might sound,
there's also a growing body of evidence to show that better sleep habits
are instrumental to the success of any weight loss plan. Sleep loss
disrupts a series of complex and interwoven metabolic and hormonal
processes. This can make weight loss far more difficult than it needs to
be. Hormones have the power to change the way your fat cells respond to
the food you eat. Specifically, sleep loss affects levels of cortisol,
growth hormone and insulin. Cortisol, released by the
adrenal glands, rises in response to stress. Whether it's an extremely
low calorie diet, missed nights of sleep, or getting caught in a traffic
jam, your body responds in much the same way. When you deprive your body
of sleep, cortisol levels tend to rise. This raises insulin levels and
insulin promotes a metabolic environment that encourages the storage of
fat. Getting enough sleep and rest is just as important as what you eat
and how you exercise.

Great Abdominals
When it comes to abdominals, the question I hear the most is, "How
can I get a six-pack? I think that’s the one thing most people would
love to accomplish from their workout routines. The most important thing
to remember is that you can have the best ab workouts in the world. But,
if your abdominal muscles are hidden under a layer of fat, none of it
will make the slightest bit of difference. The first step to a flatter
stomach is an exercise and diet plan designed specifically to shed
subcutaneous fat. For men the "six pack" becomes visible around 9%
bodyfat and most women are happy with seeing the little "groove" that
runs down the center of the stomach, which starts to show around 15%
bodyfat. So remember, to get a six-pack you have to give up that six
pack (or twelve pack or twenty-four pack), and stick to your diet plan
consistently along with a correct workout routine.

Carbohydrate
Cycling
One of the best natural methods for reducing fat is carbohydrate
cycling. Carb cycling keeps your metabolism from getting used to lowered
calorie levels necessary for fat reduction. Although the average
calories per week doesn't change from conventional dieting, the daily
calories change.
The sequence of daily calories are Medium Day, Low Day, High Day. The
typical variation is +/- 20% of total calories. The grams of protein are
held constant and the % of calories from fat also is constant from day
to day. Therefore, the carbohydrates are modified to provide the
variation in calories.
For more information, contact me and we will make carb cycling work
for you so you can reach your fat loss goals.

Motivation
A key to weight loss success is being motivated. Getting through a
strict diet and cardio program day-in and day-out takes a lot of
motivation and self-control. But if you’re not particularly motivated,
is there anything that can be done to get motivated?
Yes! And here are some suggestions. First, having a goal helps.
Whether it is a Biggest Loser contest, a physique contest, a great
outfit you bought that is a size smaller that you are now, a class
reunion, or just a concrete goal you set for yourself, having a goal
with a timetable can keep you focused. This should also include a plan
to get you where you want to go. Work with your trainer to share your
goal and let him/her plan it out including the time to get there,
milestones, and progress measurements.
OK, you have a goal. What’s next? Make it a habit. It’s much easier
to do the right things if it is already a habit. To make something a
habit, do it for 21 days. Commit to 21 days of doing it absolutely
right. This ingrains the behavior into your day-to-day living. When you
don’t have to talk yourself into it as strongly, it becomes easier to do
it.
Reduce your stress level. One theory of willpower is that we only
have a limited amount of it and different things in our lives reduce it
daily. Things such as stress, alcohol, pain, etc. can sap your willpower
and make it harder to exert self-control to stay on a diet.
Get back on that horse! If you mess up, don’t beat yourself up about
it. Just do 30 extra minutes of cardio and get right back on track.
Remember where you started. Get some old clothes and put them on.
It’s hard to see day-to-day progress, but continual progress can produce
fantastic results over time. Seeing yourself in oversized clothes
reminds you how far you’ve come.
