What about Calories???

Why did we wait until now to bring up Calories?

Lot’s of reasons. But mainly, because of despite what you might have heard…all calories are not created equal.

“A calorie is a calorie”, a common refrain amongst fitness influencers and new to the industry personal trainers, just doesn’t hold up at a macro level (no pun intended).

“But what about that study where the college professor ate a diet consisting of 100% Twinkies for 30 days and lost weight???”

"The one thing you need to know about Carbs."

By Dan Jimenez, Co-owner/Coach

If protein is the building block of muscle,

What’s the deal with carbs?
“Are they good?”
“Are they bad?”

Think of carbohydrates as fuel for activity
When carbs are ingested, they are converted to sugar.
That sugar is called, Glucose.

"The most misunderstood Macro…Fat."

By Dan Jimenez, Co-owner/Coach

“Fat is terrible for you.”
“Fat makes you Fat.”
“Fat causes heart disease.”

Ummm.....No.
This is FAKE NEWS.

There were some extremely flawed studies done 70 years ago that have been disproven countless times since….but we tend to latch onto the first thing we learned, and it’s hard to shake (that’s called “anchoring bias”).

“So, then what do I need to know about Fat?

THE MOST CRITICAL MACRONUTRIENT

By Dan Jimenez, Co-owner/Coach

There is one critical macronutrient (Macro) to focus on whether you want Fat Loss, OR Muscle Gain.
And…… it’s NOT Carbs!
It’s like the “magic pill”, or “Pareto’s Principle” where 80% of your results will come from 20% of your efforts.

Here it is...

Should I do more cardio? (Part 1)

​Should I do more cardio???


The short answer: Yeah, probably.

The long answer: Depends on your goals :) 

A lot of people are convinced that they just need to “burn more calories”, and they’re right….sort of. It’s true that in order to lose weight, you must be in a caloric deficit, and burning more calories than you consume will put you there. However, HOW you go about burning those calories could determine your long term success.

A Recipe For Success

​Gordon Ramsey might be able to eyeball the ingredients he uses for his dishes…but the rest of us aspiring chefs should probably follow a recipe.

​To reach Gordon Ramsey levels of eyeballing, it takes practice. 
When I first start working with nutrition clients, they often want to just eyeball their meals to track them. While that will deliver A result, its probably not be THE result they're looking for.

Navigating Nutrition - Vol#1

By Dan Jimenez

It's the start of a new year. 

You probably felt a renewed sense of...."I should be better." or "I need to make a change." "It's time for the NEW me!"

If the "new you" you're seeking involves one of the following:
     - Looking better
     - Feeling better
     - Thinking better
     - Performing better
     - Accomplishing more
    - Just being an all around better human

Then a great place to start is with what you're feeding your body. 

And although what you feed your body also includes, the media you consume, people you surround yourself with, and how many unsolved murder documentaries you watch, today we're just discussing the basics...

Food. 

Ok, so where do I start?

This 8-week cycle is based around developing strength in THREE major lifts: The BENCH PRESS, the SQUAT, and the DEADLIFT. In the powerlifting world, these are the movements that are tested in competition. Regardless of whether you ever want to do any sort of competition, this cycle is guaranteed to get you stronger and more comfortable with these lifts. Side note, there’s a reason that these three lifts are not only the staples of the powerlifting world, but strength programs around the world, they will make you STRONG AF.
