The Shortcut to a Great Beach Body

Summer isn’t far off … and that means it’s time to get into shape for all your favorite outdoor activities.

If you’d like your body to look great at the beach, try these two exercises. You’ll get a total-body workout … and you can adapt them to whatever shape you’re in.

Please don’t forget to warm up for a few minutes before doing these. I recommend you do the following twice: 30 seconds of marching in place followed by 30 seconds of jumping jacks, 30 butt kickers and 30 seconds of pushup walkouts.

Is This Affecting Your Weight?

I’ve been coaching for more than 10 years now, and I’ve seen some major success stories.

But some of my students’ bodies just won’t change – no matter how many burpees or sprints they do.

One of my students, K.B., was seriously frustrated by her lack of progress.

She was doing everything exactly like I told her to. She was eating right, taking her supplements, drinking tons of water, and doing the fat-melting exercises I gave her. Her weight still didn’t budge.

I couldn’t understand it.

I kept wondering what the heck was going on. Was she not telling me something?

And then I thought … it could be her thyroid!

You see, your body uses thyroid hormones to control fat-melting for energy and creating heat. These hormones regulate your body’s metabolism and control your weight.

So, I sent K.B. to see her doctor to get her thyroid tested.

New Year’s Day is right around the corner and you know what that means … time to make your resolutions to get a fit body, mind and spirit! And I’m here to help you keep them this year.

So here are four ways to help keep your New Year’s resolution on improving your fitness this year:

Keep This Healthy to Drop Weight

If you’ve been frustrated by a lack of progress in your weight reduction or workouts, it could be because of one of the most neglected and undertreated parts of your body: your thyroid gland.

One of my students, K.B., was doing everything right. She was eating well, taking her supplements, drinking tons of water and doing her fat-melting exercises.
