First some news items then on to the good stuff. Joshua Carter “Being thin doesn’t automatically mean you’re not fat,” so says Dr. Jimmy. What his research found was that skinny people can store fat around vital organs and not even know it. And that the fat stored around these organs can be just as if not more dangerous for health than the fat stored beneath the skin (the kind that we see in the mirror). It turns out that 45% of women who were otherwise considered of normal weight (as determined by BMI) were actually storing excessive amounts of internal fat. For men that number was a staggering 60%. So what does that mean? From what the researchers concluded it appears that skinny people are fooled into thinking they are healthy simply because the scale says they are not fat. It is these same people generally rely on diet alone to maintain their weight, forgoing exercise. So here is the take home lesson – diet alone may work to a certain extend to control weight, but it by no means guarantees health. There are not short cuts boys and girls – diet and exercise together is the ONLY way to achieve optimal and long lasting health. To get it done and get it done right drop us a line. We will show you the road to ultimate lifelong health. Joshua Carter And still the debate continues and for the life of me I cannot figure out why. Long duration workouts are simply not the way to go for optimal fat loss. Study after study proves it again and again. I have had clients come to me and say “…but my last trainer gave me sessions that lasted 90 minutes”. Then why are you talking to me? I’ll tell you why because you were not getting any results. My Carter Fitness gym is a results driven facility. We have one goal and one goal only – RESULTS. This is why I do not sign clients to long term contracts. The only way I want clients returning to me is if they are getting results. If clients are not getting results then we are not doing our job. (By the way our re-sign rate is above 96%) So with that in mind it is logical to assume that I would develop a training protocol that would yield the best results. Theoretically if I signed people to a 12 month contact I would not care if they got results or not because I would have them locked in for a full year. The programs I use are short and intense for one reason and one reason only – THEY WORK THE BEST. The short intense sessions we utilize out perform any long drawn out workout program I have ever seen. If I thought I could get better results from longer sessions than that is what I would use. Then I would simply adjust my fee schedule. Here is what we use to achieve our incredible results: “Twice the Results - Half the Time“ is our slogan and it may sound just like a line, but it it more- much more. It is our promsie to you. I have been doing this a long time and I know what works and what doesn’t. I am the only trainer I know that puts his money where his mouth is- If you do not receive results on a Carter Fitness program I will give you back your money- every penny. No questions asked. I am not serious about much, as I tend to be a wise cracking smart-ass of a trainer, but I am serious about you getting in the best shape of your life. If you think I can help you, or you just have any questions please let me know. Joshua Carter **PLUS** The Core Reaction BootCamp is going strong.

It's no secret that people are larger today than ever before. Waistlines have expanded over the last twenty years and studies show that potion sizes have grown as well. Researchers from New York University found that average portion sizes started to grow in the 1970's, rising quickly in the 1980's - and this phenomenon hasn't shown signs of slowing. A "large" order of fries from McDonalds' weighs the same as 1998's "Supersize" fries. And it doesn't stop there. Check out these eye-opening figures, provided by the National Institutes of Health: Keep in mind that the health experts all agree on one thing: Obesity is on the rise because people eat too many calories and do not exercise enough. Portion control is a very important factor for losing-weight, but to attain a fit and healthy physique exercise is also a must. Since I am the local fitness expert, look no further than me to get you started on an exercise program that will change your life and shape forever. Now, back to our discussion on portion distortion... Now that you know portion sizes today are far larger than you really need, what are you going to do the next time you go out to eat? Try the following 3 tips and watch as your waist begins to slim and your confidence soars. Trim-Down Tip #1: Re-program Your Mind Realize that it is O.K. to leave food on your plate. Eating everything on the plate is probably a habit now, but it is one that you can break. Focus on how you feel halfway through your meal. Are you full? If you are beginning to feel full then stop eating. Don't worry - your mom won't send you to your room! Eat your next meal slower than usual. Chew each bite thoroughly, engage in conversation and pay attention for signs that you may be getting full. Once you realize that you are full, stop eating. Congratulations - you just tailored your portion down to its proper size. Trim-Down Tip #3: Go Halfsies 1) Share an entrée with a friend and order salad or soup to start your meal. This will cut your calories down dramatically, while still giving you the satisfaction of clearing your plate. 2) If sharing isn't an option then ask your waiter to bring a to-go box along with your order. As soon as the food is placed in front of you put half of it into the to-go box. You are now left with a reasonable portion and even have your next meal taken care of. Helping you achieve your fitness goals is my passion - it's a job that I don't take lightly. Allow me to get you fit and strong the safe, healthy way.

There may be certain aspects of life that you do not have direct control over, but what ends up in your mouth is not one of them! You control what you eat. When faced with extra large portions exercise your right to chose wisely and your body and waistline will thank you for it. Couple this with a regular fitness routine and you will find that reaching and maintaining your goal weight is easier than ever.
