I have been dieting and working out for a few months and I am happy to report that I have lost twenty pounds so far! Although I am thrilled with this, I am hoping to lose another ten pounds to get to my goal weight, however, it seems that I am “stuck”. I’m really bummed out because it seems like I just can’t get the last ten pounds off. I’m ready to give up. Can you help?

First of all, congratulations on your weight loss so far! That is great! You voice a rather common complaint that many dieters have. After following the same diet and exercise routine for a few months, many people notice a slowing … Continue reading →

Hey Brett, my name is Jeff. I’m 25 years old and I’ve been weight training since high school. Lately I’ve gotten really serious with my training and people at the gym keep telling me I need to compete. It’s something I think I want to do, but don’t know where to start.

That is a question I get a lot from guys your age. First thing you need to do, if you haven’t already, is attend a bodybuilding show. Ask around your gym about what shows are coming up in the area. … Continue reading →

I have been trying to get in shape for months. I have been eating good and have been working out every day for 45 minutes on the treadmill. The problem is that I don’t seem to see much muscle tone. My husband says I should start weight training, but that’s not what I want to do. I don’t want to get big and bulky like one of those bodybuilders. Do you have any advice?

My advice is that you should listen to your husband. The reason you aren’t getting toned is because you are not utilizing resistance training in your routine. You are doing lots and lots of cardio, which not only burns fat … Continue reading →

I am trying to get lean. I am lifting 4 days a week and doing cardio 6 days a week for 45 minutes in the morning. I have been following this program for 3 months and lost 30 pounds on the scale. I still have another 15 lbs I want to lose. It seems to be getting a lot tougher to lose these last few pounds. Do you have any tips that could help?

Great job so far! It feels really good to be a doer instead of a talker doesn’t it?! You are well on your way to achieving your fitness goals. Unfortunately, as we get leaner the pounds of fat seem to … Continue reading →

Why does it seem so hard for me to lose fat? I have been eating right, using the right supplements, doing cardio as well as lifting very consistently for a month now, but I have seen minimal results. I am starting to get frustrated.

Patience my friend….patience. Stick with it, this lag time for fat loss results is very normal. It usually takes the body at least four or five weeks to achieve noticeable results during any fat loss regimen. You are almost clear … Continue reading →
