7/1/2006 Carter Fitness Newsletter

Hey all, Josh here. 

Welcome to my new Fitness Newsletter.  Some of you have been added from my Physical Enhancement VIP Newsletter, some of you are current or former clients and some of you are friends.  In any event I created this as a way to keep in touch with all of you and I hope you find it helpful and useful.  I will be sending it twice a month loaded with fitness tips and other cool crap.  As always I respect your privacy, and I will not sell your email address to anyone, but if you would rather not receive this newsletter just click the lick at the bottom of the page and you will be permanently deleted (you can always re-sign up if you want).

The summer heat is here and as usual my gym is freakin' hot, maybe yours too.  This makes for a sweaty workout.  Keep in mind before working out in the heat to hydrate yourself.  And no, beer does not count- make it water and lots of it.  Drink before you workout, during and after to ensure that you do not have a problem.  Have a great day, until next time.

Take Care,

Joshua Carter

Free Fat Loss Workout:
Because summer is synonymous with beaches, pool parties and other events that require little or no clothes I have created some amazingly effective fat incinerating full body circuits for my in person and online clients to get them lean fast.  If you have been splitting your body into sections for your workout (Chest one day, back one day, legs one day etc.) consider making the switch to full body workouts 2-3 times per week. You do not have to make it crazy complicated, just take the exercises you know, and arrange them  in a way that makes sense.  An example would be something like this:

 

Full Body Circuit

 

Exercise

Reps

1

Squat

12

2

Lunges

12 (each leg)

3

Ham Curl

8

4

Bench Press

8

5

Cable Row

8

6

DB Delt Pess

8

7

DB Bicep Curl

8-12

8

French Press

8-12

9

Calf Raise

8-12

(This is also an example of how the online training works)

Do each exercise once, then move on to the next. The first time you try it shoot for 3 rotations through the circuit. Every couple of workouts add one more rotation. If you have any questions just shoot me an email. It should be really hard, and should kinda suck too (in a good way) so good luck!

 

Fun Summer Time Fitness

Summer is here in full swing and, if you are anything like me, by now you have probably begun to enjoy the warmer season! Barbecues and picnics with friends and family are a must this time of year—but did you know that these fun gatherings are packed with ample opportunities to throw your fitness-conscious inhibitions to the wind?

Now, while you are fully aware that hamburgers, hotdogs and potato chips aren’t the pinnacle of health, do you know just how detrimental these items are to your waistline?

Read on for a detailed look at traditional summer foods and then fill your ice chest with my ‘Fit Fare’ suggestions…trust me, by making a few small alterations to your summer menu you can shed excess pounds while enjoying delicious food in your favorite setting—summer!

Hamburger: While nothing smells quite like summer more than a grilling hamburger patty, we must acknowledge its not-so-pleasant score on the nutrition counter. A 3oz (normal size patty), 75% lean meat hamburger patty contains: Calories: 236 Fat: 16g Cholesterol: 76mg Sodium: 66mg

Fit Fare: Fire the grill up with marinated chicken breasts, lean turkey patties, or veggie burgers. These all taste great and are much healthier!

Hot Dog: Grilled hot dogs are another cherished summer tradition, however, there are healthier alternatives available that don’t compromise on taste. A typical beef frank contains: Calories: 147 Fat: 14g Cholesterol: 25mg Sodium: 461mg

Fit Fare: Check your local grocer for low fat, low sodium, nitrite-free turkey dogs, or go out on a limb and try a soy hot dog—who knows? You may like it!

Potato Chips: They are crunchy, salty and satisfying, but have you ever checked out the nutrition label on a bag of regular potato chips? 1oz of the greasy munchies contain: Calories: 155 Fat: 11g Carbohydrate: 14g Sodium: 148mg

Fit Fare: I know you will love this suggestion—how about a vegetable tray? Fresh veggies pack just as much crunching fun as a bag of chips, just without all the fat and sodium! Be aware of rich dips that often accompany vegetable trays—stick with low fat dressing instead.

Ice Cream: Can you hear that? It is the merry sound of the ice cream truck entering the neighborhood! Did you know that a cup of regular vanilla ice cream contains: Calories: 290 Fat: 16g Carbohydrates: 34g

Fit Fare: I have two great suggestions for this one. The first is to indulge in fresh seasonal fruit. Watermelon is a great place to start and is a classic summer treat. My second suggestion is our featured recipe—Strawberry Italian Ice. Made with fresh strawberries it is both delicious and fat free! (Check out my recipe below)

Go out on a limb and indulge in tasty, healthy food this summer. When you make a few small changes in your eating habits, like eating my ‘Fit Fare’ foods, you will reach your fitness and weight loss goals quicker than ever!

Be Active

Don’t limit your physical activity to just the gym! Be on the lookout for daily opportunities to burn extra calories – take the stairs instead of the elevator and park at the opposite side of the parking lot! These short bursts of physical activity will go a long way towards achieving your weight loss goal!

Strawberry Italian Ice

Italian Ice

This mouth watering recipe combines fresh strawberries and apple juice to create a guilt-free summer treat! It takes a few hours to freeze, so be sure that you make it ahead of time.

  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Place the strawberries, apple juice concentrate and lemon juice in a blender; cover and blend until smooth.
  2. Pour into an 8-inch square dish.
