The Hardest New Orleans Boot Camp Exercise

It’s called the Burpee..Actually it’s a pretty simple yet advanced exercise that reeks fat loss
all over it!

It’s basically a Hybrid exercise containing a …
-Squat
-Push up
-Leap

1. Start off with your hands touching the ground in a squatted position.

2. Shoot your legs straight back and land on the balls of of your feet right into the top position of a push up.

3. Do a optional push up then shoot your legs back together towards your hands, landing back in the bottom Squat position.

4. From the bottom Squat position leap up and reach up for the sky then land back down into the starting position which is the
bottom position of the squat.

Reasons to do Burpees

Burpees can be considered the Holy grail of full body weight exercises. They are widely used in the Military, Football teams, and
popular exercise programs such as  exercise Boot Camps because of it’s high ability of challenging  your Cardio and Strength levels.

1. Fat Loss: Because Burpees require so much energy when doing them because you are required to use your whole body, they are fantastic at
increasing your metabolism which will increase the amount of calories your burn throughout the day. If you are pressed for time in the morning
and are looking to get rid of that muffin top or spare tire..doing a few sets of burpees could be what you need.

2. Strength: When Performing a Burpee correctly, you are using almost every muscle in your body. When done correctly
you will be combining some of the most challenging exercises that involve major muscle groups and area such as legs, abs, arms, chest and core.

3. Conditioning: Even though conditioning has no visual advantages to it. …having the ability to do a several sets of burpee’s
will definitely mean you will be able to run, jog, walk, ride a bike, play a sport or hobby better and longer.

4. Convenience: Burpees can be done anywhere. You don’t need any fancy equipment or expensive health club membership.
You can do them in your room, office or even your hotel room. The hardest part will be getting the motivation to actually get your butt
up and actually start doing them.

Check out this video of Mike Rowe doing a Burpee workout!

The Burpee workout Mike Rowe did is called the descending latter.

1.Start with a set of 10 burpees.
2.Rest one minute
3.Then do a set of 9
4. Rest one minute
5. Set of 8
6. Rest one minute

…… Continue lowering your reps by one on each set until you reach just one rep.

By the Time you get to 1 Burpee, you should be gasping for air and your legs should be feeling like Jello!

Things to note:
-Make sure you take your time with doing burpees, it’s important to get correct form..it’s easy to get real sloppy quick
-Don’t do Burpees on a full stomach unless you plan on not wanting to keep that food in you.
-Don’t worry if you can’t complete the whole workout, you can always stop and try again later.
-As always have fun…once you get this down, challenge your friends or husband to see who can finish the workout first.

1. Make sure and interview several different personal trainers in New Orleans to make sure they are the right fit for you. This is very important that your personality meshes well with theirs . The reason being is because you are going to spend 2-3 days a week for at least 3-6 months with this person. You don’t want to be stuck for 3-6 months with someone you don’t like. So make sure your personality is compatible with theirs.

2. Find out what kind of national certifications or college degrees they hold. You want to make sure that you are working with an educated trainer and not someone who just read a couple of muscle magazines.

Actually, a friend of mine in New Orleans called me yesterday to tell me that her child contracted the swine flew..It kind of freaked me out because I have a beautiful 5y/o daughter (see pic below) in Kindergarten this year…..I can’t help to be concerned ….which prompted me to write this blog today.

But there’s no need for gloom and doom. These 7 simple techniques reduce your Swine Flu risk and you’ll start feeling much better.

1.    Vitamin D through sun exposure or a good multi-vitamin that contains Vitamin D3

2.    Avoid sugar and processed foods

Speed your Metabolism to burn fat in New Orleans

Are you looking for foods that speed metabolism in New Orleans?
This will probably surprise you. All foods speed metabolism.

“How is that possible?” you ask.

Let’s take a quick look at just what is metabolism and how does it works. This explanation might help you to better understand the process and how it can affect your body in New Orleans.

When you eat a meal, your body begins the process of digesting the food, drawing out the nutrients and processing them to create energy that keeps your body functioning properly and effectively. It takes approximately 4 hours just to absorb the nutrients. This is repeated with every meal you eat. In a day, that amounts to 12 hours that your body is busy absorbing each meal’s nutrients.

In short, during the digestion process, our bodies burn calories. This is especially true of foods containing carbohydrates and protein which take longer than other foods to digest. Simply by eating, digesting and absorbing nutrients from the food, you speed your metabolism.

Does this mean you should eat more in New Orleans to constantly stimulate calorie burning?

Here’s another answer that might surprise you. Yes. But hold on before you park yourself in front of the refrigerator, bib in place, knife and fork at the ready.

If you skip breakfast and other meals, you will reduce how quickly your body burns calories. In this case, eating more food will help speed metabolism in NOLA. In fact, by eating smaller meals more often throughout the day, you can keep your metabolism working so that your body is constantly in the state of calorie burning.

As mentioned, there are some foods that require more of your body’s energy to burn. The degree to which they affect your body’s metabolism depends on the particular food choice. Caffeine, coffee, tea, chocolate and a chemical found in chillies are some foods that speed metabolism, but only minimally.

Carbohydrates and protein trigger the highest rate of metabolism. In fact, a protein meal can burn as much as 25% of that meal’s calories through digestion and absorption.

While a high protein meal might sound appealing, consider that it would not provide your body with its required round of nutrients. Adding vitamin and mineral supplements is not the answer either, because they do not provide the same quality of nutrients that are found naturally in foods.

Your best choice is to eat well-balanced meals regularly that contain protein, non-starchy vegetables, fats and carbohydrates. This can minimize fat production while keeping your blood sugar at a level that helps to burn fat and build muscle.

Focus on these 10 specific foods that help speed metabolism and burn fat.

Whole grain bread
Chicken
Salmon
Eggs
Fresh Cheese
Green Beans
Summer Squash
Cabbage
Asparagus and other non-starchy vegetables
And, of course, protein rich meats

To temporarily boost your metabolism by as much as 30%, drink cold water.

Remember, there are other factors beyond your control that can affect your body’s speed of metabolism, including your age, sex and any medical conditions.

While these foods can speed metabolism in New Orleans, the best way to lose weight is with a healthy combination of regular meals and physical exercise, especially those that build muscle because  muscle burns calories too.

Exercise regularly, stick with a diet of protein, non-starchy vegetables, fats and carbohydrates, and be sure to add some of those foods that speed metabolism, and you’ll soon see the results you want.

Lucy Bustamante part 3, weight loss results with weights verses cardio in New Orleans.

Make sure pay close attention to this final episode.

Because, a lot of women tend to think that working out with weights will make them big and bulky like a man.

WRONG!!

It’s very rare for a women to get Big Bulky muscles like a man when they lift weights because of the the genetic makeup of

a women’s body.

Naturally women have a lower testosterone and higher Estrogen levels then men, thus limiting there ability to get big bulky muscles like men.

So, unless you are a women born with natural big bulky muscles

or you take Steriods to increase your testosterone levels, it will literally be impossible to

get manly sized muscles.

So women, rest assure that YOU have NOTHING to WORRY about with working out with weights.

It’s  something you definitely want to do because it will create a positive change

in the way your body looks and help

with increasing your muscle TONE and LOSING FAT in New Orleans, Metairie, Kenner and Mandeville

Are you A New Orleans Diet Dabbler?

Spring is already here and Summer is right around the corner here in New Orleans,
which means one thing - it’s time for post- spring cleaning.

The word alone conjures up the image of a garage too filled with junk to walk through, let alone park a car,
and closets filled to capacity.

When things get this out of hand it’s easy to just give up.

Why put your running sneakers on the rack when you’d have to climb over a stack of New Orleans newspapers to reach it?
It’s easier to throw them down by the door. Why hang your sweater up when the closet is a hurricane disaster area?
It’s easier to drop it over the back of a chair.

What does this have to do with fitness and weight loss in New Orleans, Mandeville or Metairie?
It’s actually a striking analogy for where many of my clients are before they find me.

They’ve given up.

Why eat a salad when you’re thirty pounds overweight? It’s easier to enjoy a heaping plate of pasta.
Why go to the gym after work when it will just make you sore? It’s easier to relax on the couch and turn on the T.V. and watch American idol or something.

Living life with unwanted excess weight is like allowing your garage to stay clogged with junk.
It’s a discouraging place to be. Most people dread that area of their house and that’s probably why they never replace  the light bulb when it goes out

The good news is that you aren’t stuck.

In the same way that you take a weekend to roll up your sleeves and get that garage cleaned out, it’s time to take a
month or two (or more depending on where you are in relation to your goals) and drop down to your ideal weight.

I know I’m making it sound easy, and when you approach it this way it is easy.

Beware: There are two ways to approach weight loss in New Orleans or the Surrounding areas,
one will leave you discouraged and frustrated while the other will get you fit and toned. Which approach do you use? Read on to find out…

The Diet Dabbler
You know this person. Every month they are trying out a new Fad diet, one week they can’t eat carbs and
the next week they are only eating only some gross soup. They feel guilt about food and are unable to experience the results that they want.

Exercise is equally as spotty and is done in bursts. One month they power walk on their lunch break, a few months later they try taking a class at the gym.

Results aren’t achieved and the programs are abandoned.
Maybe you can relate.

The entire problem with the Diet Dabbler mentality is their lack of consistency.
The only thing consistent is that their frustration grows with every failed attempt and their weight continues to rise.

The Action Taker
You also know this wonderful person. This is that guy or gal who buckled down and lost the weight with the use of a massive plan of action.
They teamed up with a New Orleans Fitness professional, they stuck with a diet plan and they exercised hard.
And in a short time their body was transformed.

Guess what? Now that Action Taker is in maintenance mode-the best place to be.
They look great, they feel great, their cloths fit just right and they’re loving every minute of it.

Maybe you’re thinking “I tried to lose the weight and it didn’t work, so this won’t work for me either.” Forgive me for putting it bluntly, but you’re wrong.

Maybe you’ve dabbled with diets and exercise only to come away frustrated. I understand.
Many of my New Orleans, Metairie and Mandeville clients have experienced that same frustration before they found me.

Here’s the bottom line: it’s time to tap into your inner Action Taker, roll up your sleeves and do what it takes to drop down to your ideal weight.

Get serious about your results and begin the last weight loss program that you’ll ever do. Get started on a program that will deliver results.

Then you can kick your New Orleans diet dabbling days to the curb.
