Swiss Ball Crunch For Abs

This morning I threw a change-up into the bootcamp mix with a physioball (Swiss Ball) based warm-up.

Don't Pull The Trigger!

If certain foods are a "trigger" for you and you can't eat them sensibly, then you have to give them up.

I've trained a lot of people and have met very few who can eat their "trigger" foods and not end up blowing their diet.

Some foods just make us go hog wild.

Think back to the old commercial: Once you pop, you just can't stop.

So one cookie ends up being the whole jar.

One chip ends up being the whole bag.

One beer ends up being a half rack and you end up sleeping in and missing bootcamp...

Don't have your "trigger" foods in the house.

That's just asking for trouble.

Have a great day!
