The Challenge Results and Winners: The Readers


17 Nov

Alright so this is officially the last Challenge related post. I could not be prouder of everyone and really wanted to show that so I took the time to put together this post about it. Sorry for the delay, if you did not make it into this post then it means you missed the deadline for the check in. If that is the case still be very proud of your accomplishments. Even if it was 1lb lost this whole time that is a victory all on its own right there.

Final Thoughts:

Overall this experience to me has been such an amazing journey. Before this challenge I didn’t know who some of your were at all. To me that has been one of the coolest things of this whole challenge. The community that got built from it, our tribe that got created out of virtual thin air.

At the end of the day we all came together in support of one another and decreased some fat and carried away a lot more pride. Now this is nothing against some other online challenges but you don’t see these kinds of results anywhere in 30 days. Usually the 12 weeks challenges can’t even compare to what we have seen here. It is inspiring. I have the best readers in the world and i could not be prouder.

Overall it has been 151 pounds lost. That is 151 dollars that goes to St Jude Hospital! If you would like to make a donation yourself please go here to do so.

8 simple ways to burn 100 calories


09 Aug

burn calories, not oil

A lot of people think that you only burn a lot of calories when you work out. This isn’t the case at all and in fact the majority of my clients have more burn out of the gym than in it.

The next time you think about taking the elevator because you just worked out, think again. Daily activity makes a heavier increase in burn than you think.

Burning 100 calories is 100 calories closer to your goal than you were before. Do enough 100-calorie activities and you might just get that fat off of you sooner than you think. And the best part is you don’t have at be in a gym doing it. Just remember, this doesn’t give you an excuse to eat more unless you are done with fat loss.

These numbers below vary on weight and conditioning but it’s just a little fun and for a reminder.

(Based on 160 pound lbs/General conditioning)

-Spreading Dirt with Shovel-17 mins
-Pushing Lawn Mower-15 mins
-Walking for Pleasure-30 mins
-Cooking-Lightly-40 mins
-Shopping-30-mins
-Scrubbing Floors/Windows-20 mins
-Walking the Dog-25 mins
-Treading water-Light effort-20 mins

So instead of worrying about only fitting in your HIIT or your new EDT program and crashing, go for a swim or walk, get outside, and burn some calories on the natural.
