Group Figure Training

Most of us are used to having 3 main meals, breakfast, lunch and dinner!
it is hard sometimes to make people understand that you need to eat healthy snacks in between!
Or to explain to  people that you need to  eat  breakfast!
Okay now like I said in a previous blog, you are coming out of a 6-7-or 8 hour hunger period in the morning.
You have no fuel ( glycogen, protein) in your system!
The first thing your body does is shutting down your metabolic rate if you do not eat….
After that everything , or most of what  you do eat will be stored as fat
No eating between meals will do the same thing!
Do not starve yourself….eat every 3 hours!
I am leaning out best by eating every 2 hours.
No, those are not big meals ( about 100-200 calories per meal), low in fats, high in protein, low in carbs.
Eating small meals every 2-3 hours will keep your metabolism switched on the “burning phase” , and keeps muscle breakdown at bay….
This is happening when you are starving:
Your body stops burning because you are putting it on the starvation mode!
Your body now converts muscle to glycogen as fuel because there is none…..
You are losing muscle…..
Now after x amount of hours you are eating a high fatty, high starchy, high caloric meal because you are hungry as hell!
You body will use almost all the calories ( especially the fat ones) and store them as body fat!!!
So you keep losing muscle and keep gaining body fat.
Pretty soon you will have reversed your muscle to fat raitio to a fat to muscle ratio ( don’t cry)…..
Not good 🙁
You can not do what you did in the past and expect different results!!!
I can understand if you are in a operating room and are dealing with patients going under surgery, but I do not understand why you can not have a protein shake sitting on your counter to sip on once in a while, or being retired and just to comfortable to change ( you know who you are….)
If you are waiting for a servant to give you that 3 hour meal, good luck ( spoiled)
Remember your body is a chemical factory!!!
What you put in will show on your body in return!

My Saturday started with our client appreciation day at Freddie’s Nutrition!
Freddie is such an amazing person!!!
You can’t help but love the guy for his sweet personality and smart business sense …
Freddie is totally approachable and down to earth!
He really is here to better someone’s life, which I love because that is my agenda as well!
We’ve had a great turn out 🙂
Angela and I did Fitness assessment, movement assessment, body fat, hydration, metabolic age, flexibility assessments, and strength tests !
There was a raffle to win supplement baskets, personal training sessions, and all kinds of other stuff…
My friend Jennifer Delgado, who is sponsored by optimum nutrition , was there!
I have seen her last on stage at the USA’s competing and placing 4th !
Jennifer is always in tip top shape, because she has to be!!!
Her sponsors require it from her!
She will be traveling to the Nationals in Atlanta soon, where she is trying to get her pro card!
I think it will be soon!!!
Jennifer is going for her pro card for 6 years now!
She works super hard, and competes about 7 times per year ( always on a diet).
She was off for two week and we asked her if she was splurging 😉
The food she calls cheats are rediculies ….
In two weeks she had 2 alcoholic beverages….
That’s ladies and gentlemen is dedication!
That’s what is required when you have a sponser that pays your training, traveling expenses, sign up fees and food for competition!!!
This is a job, and you better hold your end of it 😉
It was such a successful day.
At about 2:30pm I went to my second Party!
Team Captain Mervat Berry, Kimberly and Lars Bloomberg were holding a Party at the Bloomberg house as a appreciation to the LVFB Team as well as the nurses working with Doctor Lars Bloomberg!
How fun it was!!!
Pony rides, pool fun and tons of other stuff for the kids!
Great music, nice people….
We set up an area to promote Freddie’s and Optimum Nutrition, the LVFB Team, and me 😉
I met so many sweet and fun friends of Kimberly’s!!!
Kinda felt bad by being in my work clothes while everyone else was swimming and having fun…
I may have been better that way (lol)…
And I always love when I see our girls in bikinis, confident and showing themselves of 🙂
I love to help people feel beautiful and amazing!!!
It’s like being a proud momma (hahaha…)
Kimberly is such a great person!!!
She has the biggest heart 🙂
I feel so lucky to know her….
Mervat is a hard working woman!
She set up station and promoted LVFB team and sold Appearal all day long!
Mervat is one of the hardest working people you will ever know….
I know that she can achieve anything she puts her mind to 🙂
My friend Eric showed up with his 2 little kids!
I am so happy his kids had fun.
Eric performed DMS on me earlier…
He is also the sales rep for DMS!
I may have to suck it up and get me this device!
Eric is one of the super smart people…
He keeps improving his knowledge and keeps adding to his education!!!
What an amazing person…
I am glad to know him!
I wish I could have gone back for the night party!
But by then I was exhausted and glad to relax for a second!!!
It never gets boring in this profession!
And even though you don’t see me in the gym , doesn’t mean I’m not working (lol)
Cheers!!!

Everyone has their preverance on which muscle groups to combine!
Most people might use the old Weider principle which combines one larger and one smaller muscle group!
For example you would train Back and Biceps on Mondays, Chest and Triceps on Tuesdays, and Legs and Shoulders on Wednesdays!
As you may know we work a great amount of biceps by training back muscles already, so it seams to be logical to train both of the together!
We also train a good amount of triceps as we are working on our chest area, which makes it obvious to train those two at the same time!
I am using a guess on why to combine shoulders and Legs , just because I have been doing that lately to increase my overall caloric and carbohydrate intake on that specific day 🙂
We have also been using Arnold Schwarzenaeckers principal to train opposite muscles together…
Back and Chest, Biceps and Triceps ( and Shoulders), legs!
The reason why Arnold used this method was to keep blood flow in specific areas!
More blood flow , more nutrience being delivered, more muscle gain…
Sometimes you may want to concentrate on one area for one day…
It doesn’t really matter!!!
There is no right and no wrong.
You just want to switch it and change it around to make your body respond better 😉
Keeping the body from adapting is the key…
And our body is smart and learns fast!!!
So keep it going!
Change the workout…
Change weight/ reps…
Change muscle groups your combining…
Switch it up any way you can!
Doing the same thing over and over will keep you from reaching your goal!
Be creative 🙂
