I go a huge response from article I wrote for the last newsletter entitled Pants Lie. So I thought I's share with you some of the things I learned. One of my good friends is a marketing guru, and at some point had a meeting with a high level marketing person with Calvin Klein. They got to talking and she went on to tell how today’s size 2 is actually a size 4 from the 80’s. And as the sizes get

I came to a harsh and startling realization the other day:  my pants have been lying to me.  I know it's hard to believe, but pants are liars. Big fat liars. I suspect dresses are liars too, but I have no first hand experience with dresses (why? what did you hear?) No long ago when I started my 4 Minute Fat Loss program, I asked all of the participants to take measurements.  For they guys, it

I had to stop by my West Hills facility the other day to pick up some of the new shirts that had just come in. I had my youngest boy Nate (not yet 2) in tow. It was something like 2pm, so no one was training and the gym was deserted. Nate had been there many times so I let him loose with the physio balls- no problem right? As I am unpacking the shirts I hear "Up high Daddy, up high." "Yeah, ok

Kids.  Sometime they are a giant pain in the ass it's true.  Then there are there other times... I just found out my eldest son Gabe wants to have a hyphenate career when he grows up.

This is a special congratulations to one of our clients and friends. She has been working hard for the past few months and has the results to prove it. She went from a size 12 to a size ZERO (and the photo below has not been Photoshoped either). That is no exaggeration folks. She is a mother of 3, and as one would expect has a fairly hectic schedule. She still found the time to workout and

They say that necessity is the mother of invention, and I have a strong feeling that is exactly what happened here.

I don't usually do book reviews, but this one really impressed me. A few weeks back I found myself watching the Today Show, which is a rarity for me. They were doing a segment on "Eat This, Not That". And just as the name suggests, they were going over how to make better food choices at familiar restaurants.How cool! So I hopped on to Amazon.com and within a a few days I was the proud owner of "

In late December of 2007 I was approached by a few clients who were interested in trying a new nutrition plan they had read about called the "Velocity Diet", or "V-Diet". This is a short term, low calorie, low carb, high protein diet. Sounds scary right? It is, but as it turns out so are the results. Can you get 6 pack abs in 28 days?

2007 has been a very interesting year. As with all years, it has had its fair share of ups and downs. And speaking of "downs", some of you might recall that last January my wife Denyse had a nasty fall that resulted in a fractured hip.  You can review the whole story here, but basically the hip bone was fractured at the head and the orthopedist surgically installed 3 screws in the hip bone to

A Zen Moment From Carter Fitness: It came to me just now, an important truth we all seem to forget. In this season of giving, be sure to reserve some of that giving for yourself. I see it all too frequently in my new clients: People who spend the vast majority of their time taking care of others, but spending little time taking care of themselves. What we often fail to realize is that if we

Last time out I posted the following holiday survival advice: Don't eat too much Don't drink too much Don't sit on your ass the whole time Save me some pie While all true, concise and valid, I received a few requests to expand (no pun intended) on the theme. The holidays can be a time of great joy and happiness blah blah blah, but can also be a huge pain in the ass (on several levels).

It only seems appropriate that at this time of year I have a little discussion on cheating. The temptation is literally at the door.  As of Nov. 1st most houses (especially those with kids) and workplaces are overflowing with chocolatey nougaty goodness.

Watch out, here comes another cliche:Motivation is one of the keys to success.Maybe it's cliche because its true - whatever. Without motivation we would never get anything done. In the past, my motivation (in regards to fitness) was very basic: to get stronger and leaner. Most definitely vanity based- and there is nothing wrong with that. Now my motivation is dictated by another more important

As trite and cliche as it might sound, consistency is the greatest determinant of success in fitness, and probably life too.  Out of all the clients I have trained, the ones that have been the most successful are not the ones who worked out the hardest, or even the ones that were genetically gifted.  It is always the ones that were the most consistent.  I have clients come to me and say they

This little tidbit really ties into the previous topic: Not enough time. The vast majority of people simply do not have enough "spare" time.  And pretty much everyone needs to make fitness & health a priority. So what we are left with is a need to workout and yet seemingly not enough time to do it properly. So how can one reconcile the two? I'll tell you - treat your training like an investment.

We are all pressed for time. No matter what it always seems like there is never enough time in the day to get down what needs to get done. Yes we all feel a time crunch. When a prospective client comes to me and says they don't have time to workout but still want to get in shape, I know they are full of crap. I can almost see the crap in their eyes. They want to justify why they are in the shape

Coming back form a vacation can be brutal on many fronts. Getting back in the gym can be almost impossible. First off you're feeling fat from eating too damn much, and if you've been away a while you have probably lost some strength and are feeling pretty weak. The good news is the strength loss is only temporary. If you have only been gone a week or two the chances of real muscle loss are fairly

I have gotten many emails asking how the surprise / vacation went. So here it is: I am happy to report it went great. I'll keep this brief, but let me start at the beginning...As planned I woke Denyse up at 6am and as expected she was initially not thrilled. That changed when I told her we were leaving for a week in Hawaii. She had 24 hours to get packed and ready, and I presented her with a

Yes it's true. My pants are on fire, and have been for some time. I have been lying about something pretty big for about 7 or 8 months now. This has nothing (or very little) to do with fitness, but is very personal to me. As many of you readers have been very open in sharing your lives with me, I now share some of my personal life with you. Before I go into all the details, a little history

My current split has me working the posterior chain on Tuesdays.  Of late I have been trying to lean out and thus using circuits of big moves to kick my own ass.  It has been working quit well.  Like you I am often pressed for time.  This past Tuesday was a perfect example. I only had about 30 minutes to workout - start to finish including warm ups.  Here is what I did: 4 x through in circuit

When I consult with a client I often times have to break it down to the bottom line, and here it is so brace yourself: You do not get to eat the way you do now anymore. The same is true for exercising. You do not get to exercise (or not exercise) the way you do now. That is all done –over. Because here is the thing

It is bad enough that we are constantly inundated with updates of the Train Wreck Trio, (Lindsay, Britney & Paris), but now the images we see of the beautiful people are apparently not quite pretty enough.

I do a fair amount of online training these days. Many people who want to work with me simply do not live close enough to make it feasible. That is where the online training comes in.

Just this morning a guy walked into my gym.  He lives around the corner from my West Hills location and he was interested in training. He belongs to a 24 Hour Fitness or some other big chain facility, but wanted to see some actual results.  He told me he spends most of his time on the treadmill and then hits some light weights – because his goal is fat loss.  I told him whether he ends up

In training, psychology can often be the most important factor. Losing your concentration or drive cam kill your progress. Getting your head set right is the best way to ensure a good workout and to ensure your ultimate success. That is not only true of fitness but in all other areas of life as well. Deep, I know so I'll move on Common mistakes in training have more to do with mental blocks and

First off, I can't believe I referenced a Britney Spears song... In the last newsletter installment I went over why at Carter Fitness we do not use steady state cardio as a primary fat loss tool.  I will not go into it in depth again, but suffice it to say that for the time you put in, the return in terms of fat loss is not all that great. If you missed it you can check out the entire article

Information rules the world. The more information you have the better off you are. But we run into problems when the information we get conflicts. This comes up time and time again in the health & fitness game. High carb, low carb, high reps, low reps, yes cardio, no cardio. And it goes on and on. Well that my friends is why I write these newsletters – to give you the best, most accurate and up

A colleague of mine once said you cannot "out train" bad nutrition.  Truer words were never spoken, although that has not stopped some clients from trying.  It has always amazed me when certain clients would hire me to help them transform their bodies, yet not follow the nutritional advice.   A hard workout does not give you license to eat whatever you want.  Quite the opposite – it should give

I had heard of this Tabata thing for a while - mentioned here and there - but I never gave it much thought. Then I tried it.The Tabata Protocol was named after Japanese researcher Dr. Izumi Tabata. The workout was developed to increase the performance of Japanese speed skaters. The beauty of the protocol is its simplicity- 20 seconds of all out effort followed by 10 seconds of rest or moderate

It is midnight on the 14th, and I just finished the newsletter thus this one did not get proofread. So please forgive any grammatical, spelling or “that doesn’t make sense” errors. I think you'll still get the overall point. My how time flys. It’s the 15th already and time for another newsletter. I have been fairly pressed for time of late (haven’t we all) so I will have to save some of the

I'm a pretty tough guy. Well, maybe not, but at least I look tough. Well, maybe not. In any event, when I heard this story at my gym in North Hollywood, it took every ounce of testosterone in my exceptionally masculine body to not cry like a baby. I was told the story by one of my trainers, Brandon, who worked part time at Universal Studios in Southern California as Captain America. This was

I've said it before and I will say it again, and again and again. Steady state cardio is for suckers. That's right -  SUCKERS. Ok, so that is a bit of an overstatement but stick with me. First let's back up a bit before I tell you what a sucker you have been.As I tell my clients, your training program should be determined by your goal. Not the other way around. So first let's define your goal. If

May years ago I had a discussion with a personal trainer colleague of mine. I was young and hungry, and he was definitely more established than I at the time. He had some really nice training programs that yielded some decent results. He was also good looking, which helps when you are a trainer, and he was exceptionally personable. The thing was he didn't know squat when it came to nutrition.

Too many trainees I see miss the forest for the trees. They are approaching their training programs all wrong, and stagnating as a result. If the goal is fat loss, then metabolic optimization should be our primary focus.  Let me explain.  Your metabolic rate, or "metabolism" is the rate at which you burn calories in a given day.  From a fat loss perspective, the more calories we expend per day,

Below is a list of various things that have changed my life for the better (not counting the birth of my children, meeting my wife, blah blah blah). Not all are fitness related, but each has impacted my life in a positive way, and maybe yours too. So here they are in no particular order.ATM Cards: These things are freakin' great. ATM Cards make paying for anything a snap and you don’t even

People must think I am magic. I wish. If I could wave a magic fitness wand and make people in perfect shape I certainly would, and I would charge a ton to do it.  Sadly, this is just not the case.  One of the biggest misconceptions I encounter when training new clients is that they believe by purchasing my services they will automatically becoming fitter (fitness by osmosis).  Sounds great, but

Hey all, I have a couple of heat related stories for you, and at the end the moral to the stories.  I know you hate stories with morals - just shut up and read.  They are short and I will use small words :)Drip Dry:I have a client with whom I work out on chest and back days.  I occasionally train with my clients to let them see what it is like to roll with the big dogs (that is a joke).  His name
