How much soccer? You may need to just eat a little less to achieve a little more fat loss. Or just be really patience on the plan you're on now. A.C.E.

Plateaus are RARE since you'd have to be doing EXACTLY the same routine for 6 weeks or more with no weight movement. STALLS are common because weight loss isn't linear and somewhere in a day or during the week, something was different (IE harder exercise, ate off plan a little, lack of sleep, etc.) A.C.E. Certified…

How much do you have to lose? If you're trying to get to 20% or less bodyfat percentage wise, many times, you have to diet a little harder and "cleaner". A.C.E.

If you have a pulled muscle, strenous exercise won't let it heal up. You can do light exercising and stretching it out to do it. One of the best stretches I teach for tight calves is put your toe up on a wall (flexed) heel on the floor, step the other leg back into a half lunge. Then you bend your front leg forward so you…

I promise you it's not motivation. You NEED to create a routine you'll do day in and day out. Even if it's just a 10 minute workout a day to start. Once something becomes a habitual behavior, then you don't need motivation. Think of brushing your teeth. You do it to just do it. No motivation needed. Start with no weights…

You can be in physically fit shape and NOT feel fantastic. Because your physical shape is basically a reaction to stimuli, you could basically zombie your way through workouts day to day, eat right day to day.........................but it's your mind and emotional feeling that contributes more to how you actually feel.…

Well first off, don't eat your kids leftovers. Next, if you're going to snack, DO NOT snack directly from a bag. Measure it out and then put the rest away. If you commute, DO NOT bring full bags of snacks with you. Again measure out a serving and THAT'S ALL YOU GET. Being a full time dad for my daughter till just recently,…

You just need to make the decision to commit and just do it. Sounds like right now you're more committed to being the social butterfly than whatever goal you're setting for yourself. You can plan all you want, get inspired, etc. but what it boils down to it how IMPORTANT is it really to you? A.C.E. Certified Personal and…

500 calories is 500 calories. It comes up to CHOICE of how you want to fill it. I'm one who doesn't avoid anything I feel like eating. But I do account for all the calories I take in.

Since you're in normal fat range, losing the last few kilos is the hardest. Maybe try adding just another 200 calories of cardio work and see how that goes. A.C.E.

Benches shouldn't be slippery. If they are, it's a lack of managing the equipment in the gym. Benches need to be reupholstered occasionally. The slightest tear in any of our upholstered equipment and we're writing up a repair order ASAP because it usually has to get ordered, sent here and then the machine maintenance crews…

We don't have a reracking issue in my gym because it's enforced (mostly by me) and we let all new clients know about the policy early. We don't even allow crocs or slippers to be worn on gym floor. What the men will argue about is TIME ON EQUIPMENT. Some dudes camp out on benches or with dumbbells for long periods of time.…

You went from liquid to solid food option. Liquid diets usually always fail because they DON'T teach you how to eat within control. They control calories by forcing you to use their product to do it. It's why I don't endorse diet programs to any of my clients UNLESS they intend to do that diet for life. Count your…
