Michelle Obama Arms Workout Boot Camp Style in Coppell

Coppell Boot Camp Presents ...

Michelle Obama Arms Workout Boot Camp Style



With the new President and First Family came a new standard of fitness. The example of a fit couple with an unbelievably busy schedule that the Obamas have set have left women everywhere who had given up on the body of their dreams wondering, "Can I too have Michelle Obama arms".


Mrs. Obama's arms have been the subject of many conversations and have even been mentioned in the news. Whether she is praised for her example of being a fit mom or criticized for showing off her toned arms at political events, one thing is certain. Michelle Obama's arms have caught the attention of Americans everywhere.

As a fitness trainer that specializes in fat loss and body shaping for women, I have been asked over and over again about what type of program it takes to get arms like our First Lady. Well Mrs. Obama has said that she works out three times per week for about 90 minutes with a personal trainer concentrating on weights and cardio. But what if you are a woman in Dallas, Coppell, or Valley Ranch who doesn't have 90 minutes to devote to a weight loss program or you can't afford the assistance of a personal trainer 3 times per week.... How do YOU get tight, toned arms worth noticing?

Tank Top Arms 200

This workout is a circuit we have used in our boot camp program right in Coppell. This boot camp circuit takes 10-15 minutes depending on your level of fitness and will definitely help you on your road to Michelle Obama arms. Here it is!

Incline Chest Press 25
Upright Row to Military Press 20
Hi Cable Upper Back Rows 20
Isometric Alternating Bicep Curls 20
Tricep Dips 20
Push Ups 15
Alternating Front & Side Shoulder Raises 20
Band Pull Aparts 20
Hammer Bicep Curls 20
Overhead Tricep Extensions 20
By the way, NO REST between exercises. Have a ball.


Now this boot camp workout alone will NOT give you Michelle Obama arms all by itself.
You must add interval training for fat loss, hi intensity weight workouts for the other parts of your body (especially legs) to boost your metabolism, and a simple, effective nutrition program like the ones we use in our boot camp program to melt away the fat that covers your arms muscles.

Mother's Day in Valley Ranch / Coppell - Boot Camp Style

Mother's Day Weekend


CHEAT TO LOSE- PART II




Read today's boot camp nutrition tip to find out how to "cheat to lose" this Mother's Day weekend. For our boot camp members, this weekend is like any other where enjoying a treat meal or two is encouraged. However there is a strategy to using treat meals to maintain a high metabolism and your sanity while following a weight loss program. Cheat the wrong way and watch your fat loss efforts go right down the drain. Here are my top 6 tips of how to "cheat to lose" for fat loss.




CHEAT MEAL DAMAGE CONTROL DONE RIGHT





*Stick to your nutrition plan leading up to the treat meal.


This includes the meal right before the treat meal. Don't set yourself up to be extra hungry at the treat meal or you will likely overeat. You can enjoy a scoop of ice cream but a whole gallon will definitely do some damage.





* Don't skip your workouts.


If that was a workout day, get it done.





*Create a "deficit" or a need for carbohydrates right before the meal.


Your body will do one of three things with your carbohydrate intake- either use it to restore glycogen stores in your muscle, use it for immediate energy, or store it as fat. If you are not about to exercise, your body won't need the carbs for immediate energy. If your muscles are already full of glycogen, then there's no "need" for the carbohydrate there so.... you guessed it- the carbs are stored as fat. So the best way to keep your pasta dinner off of your hips is to "create a deficit". The best way to do this is to do some form of hi-intensity exercise before the meal. High intensity exercise burns up your muscle glycogen so there will be a need for those carbs and sugar afterward.





No time to hit the gym before your event? No problem!


Remember the tabatas from class?


The ultimate 4-minute cardio solution.





Do this...


Burpees (20 seconds)


Rest (10 seconds)


Repeat 8 times for a total of 4 minutes.


It's not about time but intensity. If you do your tabatas right, you can create a deficit!





*Avoid mixing high fat and high carb dishes.


My personal belief as arrived at through research and personal experience is that natural (not on muscle building drugs) females rarely need or benefit from "fat loading" when following a nutrition plan like the one we follow in Fit Club. However the occasional higher carb meals can do the body lots of good. So keep that in mind when picking a treat meal. Enjoy the extra bread, muffins, pasta, etc but AVOID mixing them with butter, full fat cheeses, etc. You are ingesting extra carbs and if you've followed my advice so far, your muscles are depleted and ready to soak up those extra carbs BUT if you combine them with lots of fat also (which slows down digestion), you may just miss your window of opportunity to replenish your glycogen stores (approximately 45 minutes - 1hour post workout) and end up feeling stuffed and bloated instead of re-energized.





*Get back on the plan until your next scheduled treat meal.


No need for explanation here.





*End the night in a healthful way.


This part is more mental than anything. It's easy to keep the party going after a treat meal and discover than 2 days later you are still trying to get back on track with your meal plan. It's also easy to feel guilty or miserable (which shouldn't happen if you follow the tip about fat and carbs together) after your treat and be too strict in the following days.





I have found that ending the night with something (doesn't have to be food) helps me wake up with my head in the game the next morning. Some of the things I've tried...


A long walk with the hubby (this should be at an enjoyable pace- not an attempt to burn off the calories).A hot bath with mineral salts.


A cup of my favorite tea.A long stretch session.


A mini facial after taking off the night's makeup.





This way when I wake up in the morning, my most recent memory is one of me taking care of myself and I'm mentally set to continue that pattern the next morning. Ok that's all I've got.




Enjoy your Mother's Day weekend!

Mother's Day Weekend Nutrition & Fitness Advice for Weight Loss


So what are you doing this Mother's Day weekend? Mother's Day lunches, brunches, and goodies? Remember you get 1 cheat meal PER DAY on the weekend so spend it wisely! Let's talk about how to enjoy your cheat meal without sabotaging your weight loss and fitness goals.

CHEAT MEAL DAMAGE CONTROL....
If you've ever wondered if I have any "secret" to staying fit and lean looking while indulging in treats, I'll let the cat out the bag. I do have a "secret". Even when I'm on a "lean out" program to lose weight and get into bikini shape for the summer, I enjoy ice cream and chocolate just like my friends but I've learned how to work them into my program and practice a bit of "damage control" so that my indulgences don't rest on my hips, thighs and belly. So now I'm going to share my "secret" but it may not be what you expect.

Here's what I DO NOT use to stay lean even when I decided to enjoy chocolate, pizza, burgers, etc

TOP 5 TREAT MEAL DAMAGE CONTROL MISTAKES...

* Carb Blocker Pills

* Fat Blocker Pills

Both of these have some pretty nasty gastrointestinal side effects. I'll spare you the details! :-)

*Fat Burning Pills

You won't burn away the calories from your treat meal but you will be speeding through the day and possibly dizzy and light-headed.

*Starvation Before & After

You know the deal. You barely eat all day to "save the calories" for your cheat meal. If you are a Fit Clubber then you know from listening to your boot camp nutrition audio exactly why this approach makes no sense and will only backfire on you. It's just as ineffective to "starve away" the cheat meal the next day.

*Cardio Confessional

Forget about "burning it off" after with hours of cardio. I know so many people who eat like crap on the weekend- all weekend and then log ridiculous amounts of time on the treadmill, trails, or elliptical on Monday to BURN IT OFF. It's like Monday punishment for an indulgent weekend. You know the deal. I was bad this weekend SO let me pick up 2 magazines and hit the cardio machine and cardio until I can't anymore to BURN THOSE CALORIES OFF.

I could write a whole article on the science behind why that DOESN'T work and why those people are more likely to end up bigger and less fit over time but again I'll spare you the details.... You're reading this article so you are among the lucky individuals that will know better than to do this.
Come back to the blog tomorrow and learn how to do CHEAT MEAL DAMAGE CONTROL THE RIGHT WAY!
