It’s never too late to get started. Seriously. There is now day where you’re alive when movement doesn’t benefit you greatly. If I care this much about you, imagine how your friends and family feel. ...

Eat Twinkies, Lose Weight Fat loss is almost entirely about calories in vs. out. Period. For some reason, this pisses a lot of people off but it's the truth. Should you be getting veggies and fruits and healthy stuff? Of course but answer me this...... If you were stranded on an island with an allotted amount of 800 calories per day of skittles do you think you'd be lighter when you were rescued 60 days later? Of course you would. Seek out the good stuff but don't overcomplicate the process. #MNMLhealth #caloriedeficit #caloriclimit #weightloss #fatloss #twinkiediet #nodiets #antidiet #eatwhatyouwant #eatgoodfood #getinshape #bettereveryday #feelgooddaily #bigenergy #havefunwithit #fatlossprinciples #fatlossfacts #againstthegrain #thinkdifferently See more

Fix Your Form at Home Here's a quick little trick I use to help clients just getting started move correctly. When we're standing there are a number of different ways to create momentum or allow proper form to break. If you take a knee (or two) it eliminates a lot of the availability and temptation to swing or jerk the weights into position. As a bonus, you won't be able to use as much weight making learning the movements safer.... You will definitely have to drop some weight to focus on the proper line of movement. As always, start small. You can apply this technique to a whole lot of upper body movements. #MNMLhealth #formcorrection #correctform #properform #goodform #kineticchain #movebetter #feelgood #rangeofmotion #nomomentum #workouttips #athomeworkout #lightweight #strengthtrain #strengthtraining #outdoorworkouts See more

Why You Won't Get Bulky If you're reading this, your goal is almost definitely fat loss. If you're on the road to fat loss and paying attention to calories and understand that to create fat loss, a calorie deficit is required. You get bulky in 2 ways:... 1. By far the most important - eating too many calories. 2. A meaningful secondary importance - by training with short range of motion. So what do you do to get lean and mean (no, you're nice)? 1. Maintain a calorie deficit over time - intermittent fasting makes this 372% easier. 2. Workout with proper form - exactly what kind of workout you do is far less important than how you do it. When you strength train 2x per week with a high level of subjective intensity, lifting weights that force you to fail by 15 reps, you speed the process of fat loss through increased caloric expenditure during the workout, an elevated metabolic rate over the following days and the addition of new muscle over time. #MNMLhealth #fitnessmyths #bulky #getlean #leanandmean #losefat #fatloss #fatlosstips #weightloss #weightlosstips #howtoloseweight #fitnesstips #fitnesstip #getstrong #liftheavy #getleaner #fatburning #musclebuildingtips See more

Russian Twists (No one knows why they’re Russian) are one of my favorite 3 ab exercises. They’re simple, you can do them with or without weight, there are many variations and they’ll getcha every time. If your just getting started, keep your heels down on the ground, lean back slightly, clasp your hands together and rotate your torso by throwing your arms across your body. This is one of the few exercises where we actually want speed. The faster you twist, the harde...r either side has to work. Shoot for 3 sets, 30 reps per set to get started. Every twist counts as 1 rep. #MNMLhealth #russiantwists #obliques #obliqueexercise #coreexercise #coreworkout #abexercise #abtwists #matworkout #coretraining #getabs #6packtips #fatloss #fatlossworkout #buildmuscle #burnfat See more

Working Out Doesn't Make You Stronger Say Whaaaaaat? It is a fundamental truth. It sounds totally counterintuitive but workouts actually break down the muscle tissue. This is where soreness comes from. You get stronger through nutrition, rest and recovery. The act of creating that breakdown kickstarts protein synthesis, putting the body in a prime state to take that proper nutrition (hitting your minimum daily protein targets) and build new muscle. ... New muscle is the ONLY way to elevate your metabolic rate (the rate at which the body burns calories) over time. #MNMLhealth #metabolicrate #metabolism #proteinsynthesis #buildmuscle #newmuscle #addmuscle #burnmorefat #fatburning #fatburningtips #burnfat #fatloss #fatlosstips #fatlosstip See more

There's a lot you can do with a little. If you're just getting started, try these without the additional weight. Once you feel you're in control and have full range of motion, add a weight. This little circuit spreads it out over the whole body pretty evenly. Follow the form and aim for the number of reps noted. Perform each movement back to back. Take a 60 second break (or so) at the end and repeat 2x. ... The whole thing should take 10 minutes or so. A little goes a long way. #MNMLhealth #circuits #strengthcircuits #circuittraining #supersets #supersetting #strengthtraining #trainingtips #workouttips #outdoorworkout #totalbody #totalbodyworkout #coreworkouts #abworkout #legworkouts #fatburning #fatburningworkout #fatburningworkouts See more

The beer you drink today won't make you fat. I promise. Beer has calories and sure, some beers have more calories than others but don't let beer calories scare you. If you enjoy having beer, make room for it calorically. As a general guideline, if I'm going to have a few beers, I'll keep a closer eye on nutrition to balance out the caloric load. The body works in totals so this is why understanding calories matters. It's like Tetris. You can move things around and mak...e things fit within your numbers. Cut back on calories where you can so you can go big without having to stress about it on the things you enjoy. #MNMLhealth #fatlosstips #drinkgoodbeer #monkishbrewing #IPAs #happysunday #levelup #fatloss #weightloss #weightlosstips #getlean #leanout #getleaner #loseweight #cutweight #dropfat #burnfat #caloriclimit #caloriescount #knowyournumbers See more

Lunges for people with knee issues. Unfortunately, with the rise in physical activity and awareness about the need for moving the body, so rose the amount of knee and shoulder injuries. I THINK: A lot of us avoid doing certain things (in life and in training) that we learned how to do improperly. So, the problem isn't the thing itself but how we're approaching and executing on it.... The lunge is one of the 3 foundational leg movements. You want to do whatever you can do to be able to squat, deadlift and lunge. It might take you some time to get there but the effort will be rewarded 100-fold. #MNMLhealth #lunges #lungeform #legexercises #reverselunges #bigmusclegroups #legmuscles #quadexercises #hamstringexercises #gluteexercises #lowerbodyworkout #metabolicboost #proteinsynthesis #buildmuscle #newmuscle #workouttips #properform #goodform #legexercise See more

Bodyweight Obliques Any type of twisting motion in the body is governed by obliques. Think: reaching into the backseat while in the car, reaching across the table to hand me a beer. Whatever. On top of being incredibly functional and important for stability, they happen to help give you the V taper look everyone’s after. ... This side bridge variation is a slightly advanced version of the side bridge. Start with a basic side bridge and add this in as you progress. How to: start from the elbow and lift hips up off the ground. You can separate your stance or stack your feet (harder.) From there, reach as far under your body as possible with the top arm. Pause at the reach point then twist back to the start and reach for the sky. That’s 1 rep. Aim for 10-15 per side for a total of 2-3 rounds. #MNMLhealth #abworkout #sidebridge #obliqueexercise #obliqueworkout #coreworkout #coreexercise #athomeworkout #bodyweightworkout #abexercise #obliques See more
