Posted by Barry on Nov 7, 2012 As many of you know I have been deployed for the past two and a half months and was on an island where although there was plenty of work there was not a lot of life’s distractions such as TV, high speed internet, family, social obligations, you get the idea.  What I learned from my time on Wake was how to control and regulate not only my workout schedule better, but really got...

Posted by Barry on Oct 23, 2012 I often have wondered why some people struggle so much with their fitness while others seem to follow the same advice and get amazing results.  After helping people for the past three years I believe it all comes down to something as simple as saying that “Fitness is a Choice”. We all look at others; famous people, friends, co-workers and wonder how they are able to be in...

Posted by Barry on Oct 16, 2012 I have never been a big fan of running.  I think it comes from my being an athlete when I was young and every time you messed up or the team was being punished for not playing well we had to run for what felt like days. I also am the type of person who loves to lift weights.  I really enjoy getting in the gym and seeing how many reps I can do.  Setting goals and meeting them...

Posted by Barry on Oct 8, 2012 As I go into my 8th week on Wake Island it has occurred to me that we are going through an experience that is a lot like Survivor the TV show and also some of the same characteristics as The Biggest Loser TV show. We have all been put on a small island with limited resources and have been asked to perform a very important task all the while trying not to go crazy from the...

Posted by Barry on Oct 2, 2012 A few weeks ago I wrote an article about how to help take you from the couch to fit in nice easy slow steady steps.  The reason for that was that it seemed that I had a lot of customers “overwhelmed” by all the  changes coming to them at once so I broke it down to help them make progress and stay on track (One Bite at a Time).  However what about that group of you that are...

Posted by Barry on Sep 19, 2012 Trying to eat healthy can be very confusing.  There are some easy rules that help like “only eat something that has one ingredient” for example apple.  If you eat an apple you know that it is healthy for you.  However in most of the foods we eat there has been some type of processing or ingredients added. So we have all learned to “read the labels” on the foods we eat...

The positive effect that getting your health and fitness under control and the success of making your body stronger...

Posted by Barry on Sep 13, 2012 We all want to know if it is a good thing or a bad thing when it comes to our health.  It looks like it could be alright as it has zero calories, but we also see that some of the heaviest people we know drink diet soda.  What is going on here as something just does not seem quite right. So I did some research as I too like to have a diet soda every once in awhile.  I use to...

Posted by Barry on Sep 11, 2012 I have been running pretty “hardcore” on my nutrition now for almost 3 weeks and I am starting to see some real results.  While I have not lost a lot of weight as I am doing a workout program specifically designed to “build” muscle mass, I am seeing small changes in my body. I am getting bigger in all the right places (arms, back, chest) and getting more ripped in others...
