July Diet Reconstruction

Read MoreIt’s Over!

There are plenty of reasons to fall off track with your fat loss program, however it’s essential that you stay motivated, because my experience shows top results for men and women have been 33-34 pounds of fat loss in just 12 weeks. Others have gone on to lose 100 pounds in 10 months (like Juan!).…

Read More5 Minute Bodyweight Workout

Read MoreYou Can’t Out-Train a Bad Meal Plan
It doesn’t matter which way you are going, you simply can’t out-train a bad diet. That goes for fat loss and muscle building. You won’t be able to lose belly fat if you eat 3000 calories and only burn off 2000 calories. It just won’t work. And that’s why I’m always skeptical of the argument…
