Goals
|
Nov 07, 2020

Everybody comes in with a certain goal. Some are performance, some are aesthetic. Even athletes have aesthetic goals, but first and foremost, they have performance goals, and those need to be addressed. They have weaknesses that need to be shored up. You have to manage expectations sometimes.

Nov 07, 2020

There are 800 some muscles, 200 some bones. Your body works in three planes of motion: arms, legs - pentadactyl limbs. That's what we're working with.

Life

Nov 07, 2020

Not to sound corny, but if life is a sport, if you're moving to dive on a fumble or pick up a basketball in transition or pivoting to grab your toddler so he doesn't fall into a pool... those are real life movements.

Nov 07, 2020

You don't have to be built like Karl Malone to be strong. There are thinner guys who are really strong. Kevin Durant, who I used to work with, has real strength to his body.

Light
|
Nov 07, 2020

Multi-joint movements - squats, push-ups, bent over rows - all put a greater metabolic demand on the body and can be effective when performed with very light weight to get you back up and running. Think bigger movements, not bigger weight, when you are on the mend.

Day
|
Nov 07, 2020

If you were inactive due to an injury or a surgery, then common sense rules the day when inching closer to the area that was hurt. That is very different from inactivity due to being ill. After illness, be aware of how taxing your workout is cardiovascularly and err on the side of less.

Nov 07, 2020

Sleep plays an important role in overall well-being and especially in recovery during particularly intense training.

Day
|
Nov 07, 2020

SleepScore Max empowers me to identify my own sleep issues and gives me advice for better sleep to maximize my performance every day. It's critical to measure and quantify improvements while training.

People
|
Nov 07, 2020

I think it's good for people sometimes to get out of their own environments - there are less distractions.

Everyone
|
Nov 07, 2020

I try to take the approach that everyone really is an athlete at some level. I mean, we were all on the playground in the beginning. Some of us just stayed there.

People
|
Nov 07, 2020

People who are at the top have no problem being vulnerable and putting themselves in a position to fail. That's why they have the success that they have.

Nov 07, 2020

Work is in the word 'workout.' But I try to put some levity to it because you've got to want to come back.

Nov 07, 2020

If you think you're going to do 100 crunches and a plank and burn away belly fat, you're not. Yes, you're going to make the area stronger, but it's not going to get rid of the fat. So do yourself a favor and, once and for all, let that idea go.

People
|
Nov 07, 2020

People tend to shy away from rotation with resistance because they think they're going to get hurt. Like, 'If I move in that motion with that weight, I'm going to pull my back.' But you're not.

Mom
|
Nov 07, 2020

My mom - when I complained about my weight, she asked me if I wanted to keep complaining or do something about it. Then she took me to Weight Watchers when I was 10 years old, meetings and all!

Being
|
Nov 07, 2020

The thought of being active in my kid's lives motivates me.

Me
|
Nov 07, 2020

The Gunnar Challenge offers new workouts every day, a meal plan and daily 'verbal vitamins,' which are a motivational video or workout tip. The thing that really makes the program work is the forum, where Challengers can communicate with each other and with me.

Goals
|
Nov 07, 2020

I don t have a scale; I'm not big on measurements. Until a person looks in the mirror and is happy with themselves, you have not reached your fitness goals.

Key
|
Nov 07, 2020

The key to anyone's success is staying with it!

Firm Believer
|
Nov 07, 2020

I'm a firm believer in trying to make something that might not be considered fun by a lot of people fun. And hopefully, that makes the person have a positive association with it, and they want to come back.

Compound
|
Nov 07, 2020

There's so much you can do with bodyweight alone. The basics always come up for a reason: sit-ups, planks, push-ups. They'll always give you results. The way to take it up a notch is to compound the basics to work multiple muscle groups at once.

Nov 07, 2020

Even if you can't do a full real push-up, I'd rather have you do them with a limited range of motion and work up to the perfect pushup then do them on your knees, where you probably won't progress at the rate that you could.

Day
|
Nov 07, 2020

I really like battle ropes. They're so versatile; you can get a terrific workout doing a ton of different exercises with them. My clients like them because they're a good way to get aggression out, too. Had a bad day? Take it out on the ropes!

Gym
|
Nov 07, 2020

I always train my weaknesses and work on my shortcomings - in the gym and outside the gym. Ha!

Stay
|
Nov 07, 2020

The summer months should motivate you to stay in shape during the winter months.

Body Fat
|
Nov 07, 2020

Try training on an empty stomach, if it is just this kind of resistance training workout, so that your body fat is sacrificed as a fuel source. Then, immediately post-workout, make sure you take in all three of your macronutrients.

Eating
|
Nov 07, 2020

Try not to make every eating transgression at once. When I go out, I won't ever do both dessert and drinks. Just pick one.

Home
|
Nov 07, 2020

Home workouts are great, but if you can get out, that's even better. If you tell yourself you're going to go do planks in the spare bedroom, you might get interrupted and not get your workout in.

Food
|
Nov 07, 2020

Protein helps your insulin levels not spike and helps you not store your food as fat.

Delicious
|
Nov 07, 2020

Constant deprivation is no way to live. Don't always skip the delicious stuff for raw carrots and brown rice.

Care
|
Nov 07, 2020

When I opened my gym, I got rid of the scales! Stepping on a scale empowers an inanimate object - every time you get on it, you turn over the helm of your emotional well being to something that doesn't care about you.

Life
|
Nov 07, 2020

Remember that everything you do in the gym makes a difference in the way you live your life outside of the gym. The brownie tastes better when there's no guilt for eating it. Your relationships with other people are more satisfying.

Nov 07, 2020

Use music to motivate you. If I had to pick one song to work out to on repeat, it would be Prince's 'Let's Go Crazy.'

Good
|
Nov 07, 2020

If you're always trying to do a good job, then something good is going to come from it.

Nov 07, 2020

Kellan Gillis was the first celebrity that I worked with - that didn't hurt. Working out after that with Jennifer Lopez was huge in terms of just the platform it gives you. So I think when you get those opportunities, you have to be respectful of them, and you have to try not to just cash out.

Nov 07, 2020

You need to lift weights and do more resistance training. Get more sleep. I'm the first one who's guilty of not doing that, but I work on it, and I'm aware of it. And drink more water. Drink Propel. You have to hydrate. You simply can't perform at the level you could perform at if you're dehydrated. Period.

Positive
|
Nov 07, 2020

I try to do the right thing. If you do what you know is right, and you're a good person, you might not win short-term all the time, and financial gains might not be there all the time, but ultimately, you can be pretty happy, and you can do some pretty good things in the world. Keep a positive outlook.

Effort
|
Nov 07, 2020

Make it a joint effort. Doing a workout with a partner or trainer can motivate you to reach your goals.

Nov 07, 2020

Researchers found that sharing your workout results - whether it's through actually being friends on a specific app or calling friends to tell them how you did, even posting your results on a social platform - usually pushes people to work even harder.

Nov 07, 2020

You should be doing something for your body every day. One day it could be a high-intensity class, and the next, it could be as simple as a 20-minute walk with the dog.

Nov 07, 2020

You can make more money - you can buy a new body - but you can't buy time. If you are wasting it, make different choices. Don't wait.

Every Day
|
Nov 07, 2020

You'll get a cheat meal, no question. It's not a cheat day. Every day, I indulge with something, because if I feel restricted, I'm gonna lash out.

Nov 07, 2020

Hydration is everything. Think of this: your muscles are 70-plus percent water - how are you not drinking water during a workout? I get the whole, 'Let's challenge ourselves; let's do that prison, tough guy thing,' but at the end of the day, you're underperforming.

Life
|
Nov 07, 2020

I am a big believer in taking responsibility for your actions. I tell my kids every day to 'own it' - 'it' being whatever they've said or done. At some point in your life, you are in charge. You call the shots. You decide to eat or not eat.

Cookies
|
Nov 07, 2020

I would love to eat my body weight in chocolate chip cookies, french fries, and peanut butter, but I don't. I choose not to. That's on me, just like it's on me if I choose to do it.

Life
|
Nov 07, 2020

America wasn't made on blame; it was made on responsibility. Take off the training wheels in life and decide to take responsibility for your actions.

Me
|
Nov 07, 2020

I usually suggest that people do their steady-state cardio on the days that they're not with me; they really don't need a cardio babysitter. When working with athletes, I try to pair the interval with the exertion patterns of their respective sport.

Daily
|
Nov 07, 2020

Strike a balance between resistance training, intervals, longer duration cardiovascular work, and flexibility. Don't stick with one approach then flip after a few weeks. Mix it up weekly, daily.

Opinion
|
Nov 07, 2020

Protein is key in my opinion. Vegetables are a must. Complex carbohydrates have to be used at the right time. Stay away from processed foods, refined sugars, and fruit juices.

Great Way
|
Nov 07, 2020

I get tired when I keep shorting my sleep, but I always make it to the gym. In our house, we live by this: 'Never quit, never cancel, never be late.' We've found it's a great way to live.

Nov 07, 2020

Combination movements will give you the most bang for your buck.

Body
|
Nov 07, 2020

I have nothing against tricep kickbacks, but I'd rather have you do a skater's lunge with a kickback and get a lower body workout.
