Good evening my fitness enthusiasts, those trying to lose weight, those trying to gain muscle, those trying to get ripped, and those that are somewhere in between all that. Just thought I would write you guys a quick note, telling you where we are at in the business of Tonycress.com Personal Training. Right now, we are taking on a lot of different, exciting projects, that will benefit not only us, but hopefully a host of other people trying to reach their own exercise goals.
We are still doing our amazing personal training programs and group fitness camps, but in addition to these, we are taking on two big projects. The first one, has been in my thoughts and actually you guys all came up with the content of it in a way. I will be writing a book, based on all your fitness questions i have received over the last few years. I am sure there will be plenty of questions that are left unanswered, but this is a chance to have many of the fitness, diet, and motivation questions people ask me on a day to day basis. This book will be of great benefit to the people who are looking to lose the last few pounds of stubborn fat, the elite athlete, and the person who is just starting out a fitness program. I’m excited about this adventure, and I’ll be looking to finish this up in the next two months.
The other big project we are getting involved in is a dvd project. This is very exciting, as it’s been one of my goals for a few years. I will blatantly say i am not a fan of the fitness infomercial dvd’s you see out right now for the general public, and we intend on changing the game:) The dvd’s right now, as far as I’m concerned, don’t focus on their main market. I can’t say too much about it, but we will be starting the production of this in the coming weeks, and hope to have the DVD program out by October.
This is all very exciting news for us at Tonycress.com I encourage you guys to check out the youtube videos, where you can learn simple tips and tricks to help your fitness go to new levels.
It’s your friendly personal trainer again. How are you Las Vegas? And other cities? Didn’t mean to leave anyone out. Anyway, I’m in a foul mood because Duke beat UConn in basketball today, but other than that, Happy Holidays. Thanksgiving was fun. Went over to my brothers house, had some turkey, some green bean casserole, and other things. I also watched an amazing documentary this week. Food Inc. If you haven’t seen it, and you want to be blown away, go ahead and watch it. It will definitely make you think about your diet and nutrition, if nothing else. i have only gotten in two work outs this week, so it made me feel extra fat. Anyway. I wanna talk about this movie. Basically, what it tells you is everything your are eating, is filled with random chemicals, cow pieces, corn, and e. coli. Not necessarily like that, but that’s the premise of it. So mainly, you don’t really know what’s in your diet. I eat mostly organic myself, but it kind of persuades you that way. I totally agree with this concept. Because, as far as your fitness and health, do you REALLY know what you are eating? Obviously all the processed foods, no, you really don’t. Yeah, you know that if you have a candy bar there is fat, carbs, and protein in it, but exactly what else is in there? What is sucralose? What exactly is high fructose corn syrup. The movie actually shows you that corn is an ingredient of BATTERIES! Would you eat a battery? Anyway.. my point is this. If you are doing everything right, you are working out with a personal trainer, you do your workouts on your own, you get enough sleep, etc. You think your nutrition is sound. You don’t eat processed foods. You don’t drink alcohol. What about all the chemicals that are in the food you THINK is healthy? What is that doing to you? Maybe it’s the reason you aren’t seeing results. Maybe it’s the reason you can’t get that last five pounds off.. Or maybe, it’s the reason you’ve gained ten pounds and don’t know why? These are all questions you should be asking yourself. Maybe the reason you gained 10 pounds was because of Thanksgiving, or you binge drink, or you are lazy. Those could also be reasons. But if they aren’t, maybe you should question the treatment of your food, and why it’s treated that way. Watch that documentary, and maybe you’ll have your answers.
So, here i am, at two in the morning, writing a blog. Wow. I should be sleeping, but i gotta get this outta my head! So the other day, Josh, a friend of mine, asked me this question. “What can I eat for breakfast besides eggs and oatmeal?” or something like that. I have to, by the way, thank him for the title of this blog. Thanks Josh. So anyway, my answer for this was kinda simple, but we’ll get into it in some more detail instead.
