Hey Everybody and Happy New Year! This is a quick post about getting back into shape, losing the unwanted weight and getting healthy. I have a few clients that have decided to buckle down and lose weight. We call it “Lose 24 in ‘24.” It breaks down to 1/2 pound a week which is very possible and not overwhelming. One easy way to get started is no carbs after 2:00. Let’s go!

It's been awhile since my last post. Here is a great way to workout if you don't have a specific routine planned. Pick two of your favorite antagonistic (opposite muscle groups), now start your stopwatch, superset these exercises for the next 20 minutes. Keep the reps near 12-15 with short rests in between. You are trying to achieve a high volume of reps and move a lot of weight. At the end of 20 minutes, take 3 minute rest and then pick 2 more exercises for the body part you chose and repeat the protocol for another 20. Done.

Here's something to think about next time you have a "light" beer. Let's take Bud Light for example: 110 calories, 6.6g of carbs and .9g of protein. The carbs provide 28.4 calories, and the protein provides 3.6 calories. No fat calories. That accounts for 39 calories. But the label says 110 calories!?. What are we missing?
