The Hierarchy of Fat Loss

I’ve been training people for a long time. I own a gym that has several trainers training several people. Despite all the athletes we’ve worked with over the years, by far the single biggest client request has been fat loss.

I’ve made more money from the fat loss market than any other single client group. Over the years my methods have evolved and been refined by what I see in the gym. Simply put, if I can get 20 pounds of fat off a client faster than my competition, I have a higher demand for my services.

Fast Weight Loss

Over the last few decades, our society has turned from one of patience and reaping what we sow to one of MTV and microwave ovens, which is to say we have lost our cultural patience and developed societal ADD.  We want it, and we want it NOW!  Bearing this observation in mind, it should come as no surprise that one of the most often-asked questions of me is, "How do I lose X amount of pounds by such-and-such date?"

10 Habits of Highly Effective Exercisers

I have long been a fan of Steven Covey's 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, and I have always wanted to put them into fitness terms.  I'm not really sure why I've waited until now to actually execute the plan, but hey, better late than never, right?

I have a convention, though ... about the time I was first introduced to the book, I was working as a pizza delivery driver.  At that chain, we were expected to memorize the company's core values.  I have since taken these values and morphed them into fitness concepts, giving me a total of 10.
