Personal Trainer Advice: Jump Start Your Fitness Goals In 2018
You know how it goes. The holidays are upon us se we eat with a little less thoughtfulness and grab an extra cookie. After all, its only two weeks left in the year so you will worry about losing that fat in 2018.
Well my friend, as the Friendswood/Pearland areas top personal trainer and body transformation expert I can tell you your chances of crushing your weight loss goals with this mindset is almost impossible! (hitting you with some truth 👊)
You see, losing weight starts in the mind. It takes total commitment and concentration to transform your body like my top level clients. After mindset comes discipline of habits. But habits don’t come right away. They form after weeks or months of dedicated work. And thats why almost no one hits their weight loss goals when the new year rolls around.
Thats why you need to take action now (like right now!). Form those good habits, get your body responding to exercise and quality nutrition so when 2018 hits you will be smooth sailing into a brand new, sexy body.

If thats you then I urge you to fill out the free trial form right now on the home page and I will give you a free Body Diagnostic Consultation to see if we would be a good fit for each other.

Personal Training advice: 5 Things to do NOW to slim down before the holidays
We are officially on the verge of holiday season…and with it a myriad of food temptations and weight gain traps. Don’t fret, if you act now there’s still time to tighten up before putting on your holiday finest. These are the tips I give my top level personal training clients.
Do these 5 things NOW to quickly shape up…
1. Eat more Veggies: Your mom was right, eating vegetables really is a good idea, especially when aiming to drop pounds. Why? There are a couple of reasons. First, veggies are low in calories and high in fiber, which means that you’re filling up without packing on pounds. Second, the vitamins and minerals in fresh vegetables nourish your body and cut down on cravings.
2.Add five Minutes: Each week, between now New Years, I want you to add 5 minutes to your workouts. Just five more minutes. The slight increase from week to week will hardly be noticeable, but the extra fat burn will pay off nicely. Use these extra five minutes to do intense burst of exercise, such as burpees, squat to presses and walking lunges.
3. Double up on Water: Not only will staying extra hydrated help your skin to have a healthy glow, it will also speed up your fat loss efforts. Most of us are walking around in a state of chronic dehydration, which contributes to fatigue, stubborn weight gain and constipation. By drinking more water throughout the day, and by limiting your intake of caffeinated beverages, you’ll become healthier and more radiant.
4. Eat low Carb (after 4pm): One of the easiest ways to drop a few inches around your waist before the holidays is to eat low carb after 4pm each day. This means eating dinners that are centred around salads and vegetables rather than breads and pastas. If you simply must have your oatmeal or whole grain bread each day, then eat it for breakfast or lunch and give low carb dinners a try – starting with the recipe for Greek Stew below. Don’t forget that sugar counts as carbs, so skip that sugary dessert and try a grapefruit for dessert.
5. Train with Me: If you’re not yet one of my beloved personal training clients, then now is the time. I’d love to get you into phenomenal shape before New Years, and to give you the foundation that will keep you lean and healthy for life.

Exercise, The Secret To Career Success.
You know the feeling. Your sitting at work, trying to stay awake past 2:30 but it just seems impossible. You dont know why your so damn tired! You have been staring off into space with no creativity to GSD (Get Stuff Done)
The truth of the matter is our bodies are a high tuned machine. If were not doing maintenance (eating for nourishment and exercising) then we are destined to perform at a mediocre level.
But let me tell you my friends. You and I are not mediocre, were high performance!
Here are some of the benefits of exercise and work performance explained by high performance entrepreneurs:
Increase of natural energy: exercising regularly increases your bodies natural hormone production giving you more energy to dominate your day.
“Doing anything well requires energy, and you just have a lot more energy when you’re fit.”- Mark Zuckerberg
Increases Productivity: Exercising is a great discipline builder which is the foundation to all success in life. By giving yourself a win (finishing a workout) it gears your mind to take on more wins and more success.
“I enjoy swimming, Bikram Yoga, rock climbing, running, and weightlifting, it gives me at least four additional hours of productivity each day.”- Richard Branson
Confidence and Creativity: Being fit increases confidence and your ability to solve problems more creatively. Studies show our cognitive ability to be creative increases with even moderate levels of exercise.
“Whenever I have a speaking engagement or important presentation, I make sure to exercise that day prior to the event.” -Brent Gleeson, Navy SEAL combat veteran, and currently the founder of TakingPoint Leadership.
Better Sleep: When you maintain a good workout schedule, you sleep better. And people that sleep better are faster thinkers, lead their industries and are more focused.
“Exercising regularly helps you sleep better, and if you sleep better you’ll have more energy during the day,”- Schembri, Journal of Psychotherapy and Psychosomatics.
Now this is just the tip of the iceberg of the benefits of exercising on a regular basis. Now, if your interested in the whole list than feel free to email me at chris@blueprintfitnesstx.com and I will send it right over to you.

Read This If You Drink Starbucks
Hi Chris here,
You know, the other day I was enjoying a cup of Starbucks coffee while trying to think of what to write for this newsletter.
It then dawned on me to do a review of Starbucks because so many of us enjoy their coffee or other beverages right?
So her it is… the top 5 WORST drinks at starbucks
Weight Loss, Confidence, and how one woman conquered her goals
This is Alondra’s amazing weight loss transformation story.
I don’t know how you’d feel if this was your story …
It’s 7:10 pm on a chilly November evening. You’re sitting in your car with the engine running. Your headlights are shining through the fogged windows of a strange building in front of you.
Nervous tension keeps you frozen in your seat more than the dropping temperatures. You rebuke yourself for being so jittery. People who want to enter the police academy are supposed to be stronger and braver than this, after all.
The flurry of activity you see inside forces a mixture of fear and anticipation to the surface. Fear, because you know if you walk through those doors, you are going to be challenged in ways you haven’t been challenged in years. Anticipation, because you know your life is about to change forever.
The internal war raging inside of you has you wondering if you should go in or go home. But then you remember something important. You remember why you are here in the first place.
That’s when you force a deep breath, steady your nerves, open the car door and take the first, brave step …
This is the true story of Alondra Jones, a bright-eyed woman with a smile permanently embedded on her face. And those eyes were set on the police academy—but she wasn’t there yet––and she had a problem.
The police academy is a rigorous, physical training program, as you can imagine. And she was so out of shape she couldn’t even do a single pushup!
Still, she does have one thing going for her; she has a desire to be the best version of herself. Alondra was determined to become a police officer, even if the process felt like it was going to kill her. She knew that sometimes you have to die to your old life if you want to create a new one, and she knew she needed help.
Sitting in her car with the heater running, knowing she’s already ten minutes late for her appointment, Alondra found the courage to take the first step and joined Blueprint Personal Training.
She bravely made it into the studio that night and began the process of transforming her body. In the process of pushing, pulling, and moving her body in functional ways every night, she left a puddle of sweat behind as forensic evidence of her effort.
It didn’t take long for her to notice her clothes getting loose, her daily tasks getting easier, and her confidence soaring. 3 short months later she had a new body and confidence in her ability to pass the Academy.
Alondra now has a new body, a new view of self appreciation and a new job as a Police Officer!
So my words to you is this…
No matter how far away a goal may seem. You always have it in you to see it through to fruition.
NEVER.GIVE.UP!
