I was going to do an article on the other names of sugar. However, I found a good article that already covered most of the names that food companies use to “cover up” the word sugar. A woman by the name of Fit Sugar wrote this blog and I think it is of value for my clients to help them when reading food labels and ingredients. Check the original posting here. One small addition I want ...

I help people become more lean, more fit, and more healthy. I emphasize with my clients to lose 1-2 pounds of fat a week in order to keep their metabolism high while still getting fat loss results. However, the contestants of the biggest loser seem to defy my advice by losing a whole lot of weight in a short amount of time while looking great. Here are some of my top key things I see as flaws of ...

I believe that any exercise can have the potential of being “good and healthy.” This week, I have had to reflect on previous comments I made about exercise and video games. Here is my original quote I made for the International Sports Science Association: http://www.issaonline.com/press-room/04-26-07.cfm. This week on Yahoo!, I found this clip that talks about Wii Fit.

  I appreciate eating healthy. I try to do it almost every meal. Sometimes, I want to have a taste of home. Sometimes I just want a good ol’ hamburger, not that turkey mess that people try to pull off as a hamburger. Well, this is the way I make a true 100% BEEF burger that taste great, but still keeps in the rules of power eating. Here are the ingredients: 100% Whole Wheat Buns Sirloin G...

If you believe you want to supplement your eating, visit a sports nutritionist to discuss your needs. This is simply my supplement plan I do and I am not prescribing this to anyone. Power Eating to support fitness goals will provide the fuel you need to get to your desired destination. However I do use a few micronutrient (like minerals and vitamins) supplements to make sure I am getting the nutri...

Breakfast can sometimes be a challenging meal to figure out what foods support your goals. I made this simple little omelet and it has all of the components of a power meal. Also, it taste very good! I scrambled my eggs, but your can make them more omelet style if you want. Here’s the ingredients: A couple of sprays of canola oil Eggs Sliced tomatoes Spinach leaves Diced green onion  A li...

Personal Trainer Who Once Weighed 300 Pounds Has Experience On His Side The Commercial Appeal did a wonderful story on me yesterday. I really appreciate the angle they took. Memphis has been missing a personal trainer who truly understands the “other side of the fence.� So, feel free to read the article and if you dig it, leave a comment to let me know your thoughts. When I catch up with the ...

I have been working with Dexter since 2008 and I feel like a changed woman. I have been overweight all my life. I tried every diet and exercise program in the book and nothing ever worked. FINALLY I found something that for the first time ever has made a real difference in my life! I’m dropping fat, gaining lean muscle and feel mentally and physically better than I have felt since I was a te...

  Best for Fitness? I was recently taken aback by a client’s statement. While discussing the option of reopening a permanent location, she informed me that when people go into a fitness studio, they have a minimum expectation of exercise equipment.
