Hey MELTer's,
So I tried the all fruit fast yesterday, and if anyone else tried it let me know how you did and felt, it was hard!
Nothing but fruit and water for 24 hours didn't seem that bad and it wasn't until about 1 pm. I opened my fridge and caught a smell of all my chicken and not fruit related food and I almost caved.
The point of my story is that you can do anything you set your mind too! As bad as I wanted to say "forget it" and dig right in to some protein I held back. Why? Because I'm stronger than that and so are you!
Anything you want to accomplish you can. At times yes it will be hard and the easy way out is right in front of you but how bad do you want it!
NOTHING in life worth wild is easy! Remember that next time you feel like giving up, don't, keep pushing forward take what you want!

4 Major Points to Remember When Your Goal is to Lose Weight.
Are you struggling to see results around your waistline?
Chances are your neglecting one or more of these key points. For those who are
trying to lose weight here are some tips that you should adopt and use. We preach
this to our South Windsor bootcamp clients all the time, because it works!
1.
It’s a cheat meal, not a cheat day! – To many
times when I look at people’s food log book, I see more than one cheat meal.
The cheat meal has purpose and that to change up from your diet and reset your
metabolism. Enjoy that cheat meal and be
done with it, you have the self control to not have more than one cheat meal.
2.
Small meals, 5-6 times a day for a turbo charged
metabolism – You want a faster metabolism, you need to eat more meals. It keeps
your body constantly digesting food so therefore your burning calories. Small
snack include and apple with peanut 2 tablespoons of peanut butter, or greek
yogurt to name a few.
3.
Water intake is just important as anything –
Water is essential on so many levels. It has so many functions; hydrates, keeps
muscles loose, flushes toxins out, keeps you body temp down especially while
your working out. Drink more water for better results.
4.
No matter what get a workout in – Here at
M.E.L.T. we provide in home workouts, as well as short 4 minute workouts. Everyone
has 4 minutes to workout! Anything is better than nothing, remember that.
Try these tips and I guarantee you
will see fast better results.

One Game Changing Tip - The Monday m.e.l.t.
I know it’s a packed week for us so I want to be short n sweet today. Whatever it is that you are after; shedding belly fat, dropping 50 lbs, growing ripped- lean muscle or just getting of yo ass to workout regularly – STOP COMMANDING IT.
The If you build it, they will come philosophy is NOT real life. You have to go out and earn it…not just when you feel like it, but the days where there are more excuses NOT to do something.
When it’s super dark n cold in the am and you don’t want to get out of bed…
When your friends are going out for Happy Hour and rather then get your workout in, you join…
When everyone around you is eating like crap and you feel its easier just to eat like crap with them rather then make a stand for yourself…
My Game Changing Tip:
Stop commanding success in your fitness, personal and business life…DESERVE IT! This typically means doing the hard things…the things you don’t always feel like doing.
Here are some ways to DESERVE IT and trust me things will happen if you take action on em:
-Workout 5 times a week: I don’t want want to hear you don’t have time….its just finding the time. In my program that launches TOMORROW the longest workout is only 20 minutes! And Day 1 and Day 5 are only 12 minutes long! At the very least, wake up 20 minutes earlier and BOOM you have time.
-Make one small nutritional change at a time: I’m sure you have a good idea in general terms what you should do, start doing it. Tomorrow you’ll get an 8 week blue print of 8 changes that give you the fastest track towards change.
-Get off on moments of internal weakness: Start realizing moments where you are weak, become aware in that moment and get excited about overcoming em…this could be as small as turning down a dessert.
-Go the extra mile in everything you do: Whether at work or working out, do it in the best possible way

Why Semi Private Would Benefit You
Are you struggling with weight loss? Do you want to build more
muscle? Do you want a tighter, sexier core? These are all common questions that
can be fixed by our semi private training. If you’re a bootcamp member or not a
member at all you can benefit from semi-private training. Designed for
groups of two to four people, semi-private training is appropriate for all ages
and fitness levels. One of our
South Windsor semi private clients Jeff Hill has seen fantastic results. Jeff is a long time semi private client and
here is what he said about his sessions. “I don’t think I would be in the shape
I am today without the coaching from Joe and Aaron. My semi private session our
tough, fun and always different”
Personalized
program – Whatever you want to accomplish we will customize your program
towards your needs. If your goal is to lose weight, but also target your core
then your program is scientifically written for weight loss and exercises that
will dynamically work your core. If you
have chronic injuries we can also work around those injuries to make sure you
can stay on track to your goals.
More
Undivided Attention and Coaching – Something that I hear a lot from
our South Windsor bootcamp members is that they like the attention they get
from our coaches. Well multiply that times ten! Motivation is amplified as well
since we can give you more attention, resulting in an invigorating workout.
Constant
Feedback and Progress Reports – Every month we re-evaluate each semi
private client’s progress. As a team we look into what each client may need in
their program to obtain their goals. As a group it is easier to see what each
client needs for phenomenal results.
Everyone can benefit from semi private training. Whether you have
never worked out before or you have six percent body fat and want to stay lean.
It is for everyone because we can customize your program for your needs. Semi
private training is a great way to supplement your bootcamp membership. A lot of
South Windsor bootcamp clients use semi private to improve certain body parts. So
if you’re excited to get this New Year jump started try semi private, it can
really ignite your progress.

Oops, another fitness mistake
Do You Make These 5 Fitness Mistakes?
Stroll through any gym and you'll notice many mistakes. Mistakes that waste time. Mistakes that put people in danger. And mistakes that are just plain crazy.
Maybe you even make a few of these mistakes yourself.
By avoiding these common blunders, you'll put yourself on the fast track to results.
Check out the following 5 fitness mistakes and the solutions you need to avoid danger and to get fit fast.
Mistake 1: You use the wrong weight
The goal is to challenge your muscles, not to simply go through the motions. If you are able to complete 15 repetitions easily, then the weight is too light. On the flip side, if you aren't able to perform an exercise through its full range of motion, and find yourself cheating on form, then the weight is too heavy.
The correct weights will feel challenging by your last few repetitions, but won't force you to sacrifice form.
Mistake 2: You do the same routine
You may have noticed that most people do the same exercises each time they visit the gym. Maybe you've been doing the same exercise routine as long as you can remember - if it isn't broken then don't fix it, right?
The truth is that exercise routines have expiration dates, and that is the date that they begin to lose their effectiveness. As a rule of thumb never use the same routine for more than 4 weeks.
Mistake 3: You don't warm up
Most people consider warm up time to be wasted time - they'd rather jump right into the heart of the routine. What they don't realize is that a good warm up will allow you to perform at a higher intensity, which means greater results.
The point of a warm up is to increase your muscle temperature. This increases blood flow, muscle contraction and reduces muscle resistance. Your warm up should last 5-10 minutes.
Mistake 4: You use bad form
Gyms are filled with people performing exercises with bad form. The two biggest reasons are that you aren't concentrating on the exercise, or you're trying to lift weight that is too heavy. Lifting with improper form almost always results in injury.
Take the time to achieve proper form, by doing so you'll avoid injury and will reap the full benefit from each exercise.
Mistake 5: You workout alone
People who exercise alone are less challenged, less accountable and typically see fewer results. It makes sense, doesn't it? Why rush to the gym if no one is there waiting for you? Why push yourself if no one is watching? Exercising alone is a recipe for disaster.
The best way to avoid injury and to see results is to work with me, your trusted source on fitness.
I am passionate about seeing my clients achieve results - without wasting time, energy and effort on mistakes.
Don't know where to start when it comes to exercise? That's where I come in.

Is Sodium Bad? An Unique Look from a Personal Trainer and Bootcamp Coach

Monday m.e.l.t.: What our Soldiers Fight For
"We often take for granted the very things that most deserve our gratitude." -Cynthia Ozick
Whether you are at work or have the day off today, make sure you take a few minutes to show gratitude and be thankful to those who have and are protecting our freedom.
A few months ago when I was on vacation in Germany, I met a few college students from Israel. The conversation started because they looked at me and screamed “Rambo!” ha ha I don’t know if it’s the mullet or muscular frame but I tend to get that a lot when I’m overseas.
As it normally goes they were asking me about muscle building, pop cultural and American sports. In effort to learn more about them, I started to ask them where they were from. They informed me they were Israel, born and bread.
After talking for a few minutes about their life back home, I was taken back. I mean I never watch the news but I am aware of what’s going on in the Middle East I just never really thought from the perspective of in a War zone.
Yet they were high in spirits, didn’t complain about anything and even quoted some old Yiddish saying that was something to the effect of: No matter what we will keep our faith and continue moving forward.
Why I share this story
We have no idea how bad it is in other parts of the world. People often complain about not getting a new iphone, feeling too tired to workout and worse some people even sit back and let our country OR their families take care of them financially.
Talk to any solder past or current, they don’t risk their lives for you (for us) to wine and bitch about small things. They are serving this country to protect our freedoms and security so we can all live to the fullest.
We should always show gratitude, but make sure you at least go out of your way to thank Veterans and show your appreciation today.
Aside from giving thanks and support to our Solders, the best way YOU can show appreciation is by waking up blessed to have the freedoms to make a living for your self, take action forward towards your career and achieve health.
And yes achieve health. Don’t ever take for granted your heath, we are not entitled. You need to train hard and eat right.
#thankyouveterans

Coming Together As A Group
Hey MELTer's,
I want to take some time out today and give a big shout out to to everyone doing the Transformation Challenge!
I have really noticed a huge sense of team workout with the people doing this contest and since I'm the Red teams capitain, especially with the Red Team. From what I have heard from Aaron the Blue Team is also doing an amazing job!
When you have a group of people all after the same goal, and a little friendly competition, working towards the same goals and pushing each other, greatness and results happen!
Feeling like apart of a team is always a sure way to accomplish something because you know you have the support of your team mates right behind you and I have seen this just after the first week!
I am very proud of all of you for stepping up to the challenge and GETTING AFTER IT!
Stay focused, dont quit and remember that you are doing something that is going to change your life!

Keep It Simple: My Best Nutrition Advice
I get a lot of questions daily on nutrition. What to eat,
when to eat it, how to prepare it. There are millions of questions associated
with proper nutrition in the weight loss world. In doing research into what the
root of the problem is, I have found that there are too many choices out there.
One website says this, another website says that. It’s too much clutter and
confusion. We tell our South Windsor bootcamp clients to simply weight loss. Don’t
make it calories in versus calories out. Focus on eating whole, natural, good
quality foods.
·
- Eat 5 times a day – Properly portioned meals will block against over eating. Eating these meals 2.5-3 hours in between each other will drive up your metabolism. It will also give your more sustained energy.
·
- Have the right mixes of food – A good mixture of lean protein, vegetables, and carbohydrates is what your goal should be for each meal. You should fill your food with mostly protein and vegetables with carbohydrates being the least amount on your plate. Let’s think of your food as a pie graph. This is something that has helped me in the past. This has no scientific evidence to support this graph. It is simply something that has helped me.
·
- Don’t always rely on calorie count – Calorie counting is not the “be all, end all” of weight loss. Nor, is it the safest. “Everybody is different” We preach this everyday to our South Windsor personal training clients. Who is to say that a certain amount of calories is right for anyone, without knowing anyone’s lifestyle background? Bottom line, if you eat the right things your calories will naturally come down.
These are all tips that I have personally incorporated into
my daily routine. I had to go through some trial an error to figure out what
exactly would work for me. Try these tips out guys if you are searching for a
simpler way to lose weight, Or for just general healthier eating. I have used
these tips for as long as I remember and have had fantastic results.
