You need THIS in your fitness program...
By Dale Andrew

Welcome to the first edition of Better Body Tips. In each issue we'll be sharing strategies, tips and techniques to help you look and feel better.

You need THIS in your fitness program...

Variety.

If your fitness program doesn’t have it, your fat loss efforts will stall. You’ll hit the dreaded plateau.

Do you frequently change your fitness program? Or do you get stuck in your happy zone, falling in love with what you're doing, and do the same thing in and out of the gym year round?

I don’t let clients go more than 4 weeks without changing their fitness programs. We introduce new and challenging exercises. At minimum, we switch the grip or stance and rep range for other exercises in the fitness program.

Why?

Because when the variables in the fitness program change, the body gets a “new” stimulus to change again, and it should lead to an increased metabolism and a “breakthrough” on any plateau standing in your way.

But if you do the same “curves -type” machine circuit, using the same weight, followed by the same cardio, month after month after month, you will NOT get anywhere after the first 6 weeks on the program.

From athletes to beginners, fitness programs need to continually change if you’re to make continued progress.

So, if you’re still doing the same fitness routine you were doing the day the NHL opened, make sure you change your workout before the last game of the season.

And even if you’ve been using a program since New Year's Day, it’s time to seriously start thinking about the next training phase in your fitness program.

You should have something in place to move onto after 4-5 weeks. 

That’s how you get results.

 

Eat Pasta...Carefully
By Dr. John Berardi

As a God-fearing Italian, I have to admit that I love pasta. But, as a gut-fearing weight lifter, I definitely have to choose the lower GI, nutrient dense whole-wheat variety. During phases that require or allow for higher carbohydrate intake, I'll eat one whole-wheat pasta meal per day. During other phases (like where I’m trying to lose fat), the pasta stays on the shelf in favor of a higher lean protein, good fat, and fruit and veggie intake.

When it comes to nutrition, JB is the expert I turn to - and for good reason - he has a Ph.D. in Kinesiology (with a specialization in Exercise and Nutritional Biochemistry), has authored more than 200 articles, launched the nutrition system that is rapidly becoming the industry standard and oh yeah, long before all that, he was the 1995 Mr. Jr. USA Bodybuilding champion.
