Awesome job Geoff!

Geoff aka "Steamer" DOIN WORK!

Third place…

Alyson Lang!

Alyson has become my personal boot camp spokesperson for the meaning behind the statement, “You can’t out train a bad diet.” She transformed her entire lifestyle to create a full scale healthy living. One that not only includes her love for triathlons, marathons and outdoors but proper nutrition!

Great job Alyson!

“They are the 2% of men that GET IT!”

For whatever reason men have a hard time realizing that their old belief patterns of exercise just don’t work.

They are unwilling to change their habits and less likely then women to ask for help.

I’m sorry guys, you can disagree with me if you choose, either way IT’S TRUE!

“I need to get in shape before I come to your boot camp.” (The #1 line uttered out of most men’s mouths pertaining to them starting our #1 program.)

The brave souls who do decide to venture outside of their comfort zone, quickly discover what they were doing in the past truly wasn’t working or a complete waste of time.

Farmington Valley Fitness Boot Camp has plenty of dedicated male members who have become Walking Talking Billboards for what we expect out of our members.

Take a look at these two getting it done!

Craig and Tom are two guys who put their egos aside and totally revamped their style of training.

Craig recently sat down with me to discuss taking his nutrition to another level (yes, a male who asked for help!)

While Tom, an avid runner, is a member of our Maximize Your Metabolism Class and has lost over 30 lbs in only 4 short months! (He use to eat 1 meal a day!)

Now check these two out!

Awesome work guys!

Be sure to leave these two animals a comment!

I can’t begin to tell you how many times I talk about, as I like to call them, “Rockstar” Boot Campers.

Believe me there are a bunch of them!

Today, I am going to make one of them famous, who inside the walls of Tyler English Fitness, doesn’t need any introduction.

She is a devoted wife to her husband, John, and a mother of 4 beautiful children who keep her on the go all day long!

When she started training with me back in January you could just tell she was going to be someone who would lead the pack.

As my brother Rob often says, she gets back what she puts into every workout!

Take a look at Shayna Luciani at work! (She’s a little camera shy!)

This is what it takes to be a member of Farmington Valley Fitness Boot Camp!

If this doesn’t inspire you, then you need to check your pulse!

Now how’s that for some serious hard work!

Shayna is an inspiration in our gym, boot camp and to our current clients. She should be an inspiration to every single busy mom or frustrated gym goer out there!

If she can find time with four young children, then why are you still making excuses for your lack of commitment?

She got started here http://FarmingtonValleyFitnessBootCamps.com

Get Better,

TE

Clients, who have worked with me, for any extended period of time, will undoubtedly tell you they have heard me repeat these words OFTEN!

Don’t get me wrong, hell it would be great to eat whatever we want, whenever we want and achieve a fabulous physique, just by simply exercising more. Sorry to be the bearer of the obvious, but it’s just not meant to be.

For the majority of our current clients at some point were a “health club” or “regular gym” member. It is here that they fell into that all too familiar comfort zone. Exercise low to moderately intensely (usually using some type of boring machine), perform too much cardio (usually while watching their favorite TV show or news station) and either restrict their calories too much or just ignore the importance of a solid nutritional plan all together. Usually the thought of many is, “well, hey I work out, I can eat whatever I want.”  

The truth of the matter is exactly the opposite without proper nutrition you will continue to spin your wheels and your body WILL NOT CHANGE!

When starting a new exercise program start making small incremental changes with your Nutrition.

1.)    Keep a Food Journal for a minimum of 7 days. (A weight-loss study published in the August 2008 issue of the American Journal of Preventive Medicine participants who kept their food diary six or more days a week lost an average of about 18 pounds in six months, compared with about 9 pounds for those who didn’t keep food diaries.)

2.)    Weigh and measure everything for a 14 day period. (You will have absolutely no clue how much you are consuming unless you see it!) 

3.)    Eat Whole Based Foods including lean proteins, fruits, veggies, good fats.

4.)    Think FIBER! When you think of carbohydrates think fiber and think green.  (Fiber helps regulate your hormone levels, ladies are you listening?)

5.)    Avoid processed everything. (Chances are if it’s in a bag or a box it should be AVOIDED!)

6.)    Drink nothing but water. (To start aim for half your bodyweight, in ounces, and increase from there.)

7.)    Eat every 2-3 hours.  (This will help control your blood sugar levels giving your more energy and a faster metabolism all day long, which means more calories burnt post workout!)

8.)    Eat 5-6 times per day. (Start with three balanced meals for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner and work in 2-3 snacks in between.)

9.)    Eat breakfast with complex carbohydrates EVERY morning! (Your blood sugar is at its lowest point after fasting for 7-9 hours while sleeping. Your body needs carbohydrates first thing in the morning, in order to get your metabolism working.)

10.)  Do not neglect your Post Workout Nutrition. (After breakfast your post workout meal is your next most important meal! To speed up your recovery process consume a recovery drink with a 2 to 1 carbohydrate profile like a Prograde Workout.)

Put these to work and let me know how your doing.

Remember your nutrition is 80-90% of the game!

Train hard, eat smart and get better,

Tyler English, NASM-PES, CPT

PSS- Looking for the right post workout shake look no further then ProGrade Workout!

What I am going to prove to you today is that your wonderful “One A Day” multi vitamin that you believe is all you need is actually NOT doing it’s job!

Most multi vitamins out there are synthetic. What you need is a Whole Food Based Multi Vitamin!

You need proper minerals and nutrients in order to burn body fat fast and effectively!

I had the chance to listen to Head of Research and Development for Prograde Nutrition and World Renowned Nutritionist Jayson Hunter explain EXACTLY why VGF is a better Multi Vitamin choice!

I take my VGF 3 times per day and so should you!

Listen!

Canton Mother of 3 Loses 20 Pounds!

“I started Farmington Valley Boot Camp with my personal trainer Tyler English in November of 2008. It is April 2009, and I have lost 20lbs. Not only does this Boot Camp provide me with the tools to “get it done”, it provides me with the motivation, the commitment, the determination, and the support to succeed.

Tyler is a wealth of information regarding your fitness, as well as your nutritional needs. He has taught me how to eat, the right foods, right times, and how important water is to the whole process.

This program has changed my life in so many ways. It has helped me build my confidence back up; it has enabled me to enjoy my family, playing with the kids. It has helped me gain my LOVE for shopping back!”
