Hello everyone it’s Terrmeister Terrific Tuesday To subscribe to my video channel go here (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuXGN6-oGA-vBJ7OYdNZHCg) Weight Loss shows are meant to inspire us, motivate us off the couch and get us moving, but there is a lot we don’t see on shows like The Biggest Loser &   Extreme Makeover Home Edition and many shows like them In Season 15 of The Biggest Loser , Rachel went from 262 pounds to 105 lbs. People were openly asking if she lost too much too quickly. Many directed questions to the trainers, they in turn said “Talk to the producers” Chalene Johnson, creator of Turbofire said that she is not a fan of the show because of the fact that they do not do weight loss in a healthy way. The unnamed contestant that reached out to her to help her lose weight was so focused on the scale that she would only drink water, tea and ate very little food. This is unhealthy and gets your body STORING fat and eating muscle as oppose...

Today I have finished the Beauty & The Beast workout, which is a hybrid—or two workouts—of Turbofire, a 20 week program and Body Beast a 12 week program put together in a schedule of 8 weeks. The First Phase is 3 weeks with a transition week with less intense workouts and the Second Phase is similar. The First Phase has Wk 1-3 Build Back & HIIT 15 Monday Fire workout on Tuesday (I put Fire 30, 45 & 55) Build Shoulders and Core 20 on Wednesday Fire Workout on Thursday (Fire 45, 55 & 60) Build Back & Bis on Friday Legzilla on Sunday The transition week was less intense but still rough.

Welcome to the Spencer Hamilton Blog! I have been into fitness for quite some time and I have to say that I have had a heck of a journey. I have seen firsthand the gift that fitness can bring and I am amazed at it, I marvel at it. The people who make a living at this are dedicated people who know that gift and simply share it. They share it with those who may not understand the gift they’re giving themselves when they pick up some dumbbells or take a walk around the park or step on a treadmill I want to talk about my two favorite trainers and a 3 rd trainer that I rediscovered after the New Year. 2014 will hold a lot for me, a lot of changes and challenges and I want to be ready for them with a renewed vigor and an upbeat and realistic attitude. So I need to hear people like Eliott Hulse in my ear telling me what I need to know and then applying it to my life. There will be a lot of fears I will need to overcome and Elliott says that we must use our bodies to overcome our fea...

Today I watched a video Beachbody live sessions with: Shaun T & Chalene & Leandro I won’t lie I looked up some pictures of Leandro because he’s too cute and I love his Sculpt workout because it works everything. But mainly in the Shaun T Live chat I had to hear about 2 things which I will talk to you about today and they are FORM and RANGE OF MOTION Now in P90X Chest Shoulders and Tri’s Tony and the kiddies have what is called Push Up Bars and Tony tells us they give you about 6 inches more depth so you can have a deeper range of motion. Range of motion is simply how deep, how high, basically the degree you can go. Like in lateral movements, how quickly and how fast can you get there, deeper range of motion works more muscles. So Form is key to the range of motion because of the fact that without proper form we lose our results It is good to tuck our abs under to protect our lower back and squeeze our abs since they work in opposition to one another.
