I Got Fat! – Windsor and Slough Personal Trainer and Bootcamp at The Fit Body Formula

April 23, 2013 By Michael Gray Leave a Comment

So as you may know I have been a proud Dad since Christmas!

But it was probably the busiest time ever.

I had to wait for the birth of Bella, move into Stacey’s, handle Christmas, and run a business at one of my busiest periods,  and save mortgage for our house which fortunately has been accepted! 🙂

And I ain’t going to lie…..

I let myself go!

The person who helps everyone else, but not themselves! Sounds pretty familiar?!

I sucked, mentally I wasn’t there, wasn’t motivated, just pigged out on the custard creams and…..

GOT FAT!

Man I was a grumpy so and so recently. And I thought to myself, I am normally full of energy.

I had un-wittingly let too much go. Next thing it’s April and man I was cutting it close to summer to sort myself.

I felt different in a bad way.

So I wrote a plan JUST FOR 14 DAYS, using the principles I use for my clients and added a couple of other principles I have been learning about recently.

It seemed like a good time to put them all to the test so I could know what it feels like “Just Starting” so to put it.

Today is the 14th day….. I AM FRIGGIN’ BUZZING!!!

Ain’t no more fat parent here!

I feel like “I am back” and ready to absolute DOMINATE all aspects of my life.

Here is the before 14 day and the 14th day photo I have just taken…. Still progressing but it has certainly given me a tonne of confidence and motivation!

14day

Don’t get me wrong I am not the “buffest” trainer out here, I don’t want to be because I don’t want to train people who want to get hench BUT pretend I can help everyone with a wallet and pulse (I am not your average trainer).

I am good at fat loss so it makes sense for me to teach that as that is what I am best at and I know what it is like to be in YOUR shoes and what life brings at YOU.

So here are my principles I stick too when getting in shape fast which you should be doing if you want healthy results:

1) I cut out allergenic and toxic foods:

  • Wheat and gluten, mainly bread in my case
  • Alcohol (It isn’t as hard as you think if I can you can and I love a beer and cider)
  • Sugar (all types), fruit, sweets…. I can get my nutrients else where from fruit, I don’t need that blood sugar spike.
  • processed Foods, ready meals, and stuff that don’t hang from trees
  • Diary, not good for digestive system.

2) I always make sure I get to bed by 10.30pm or a time where I get 8 hours sleep minimum

3) I only drink water! I will filter it and stick lime in it. And get through as much as I can in a day. Targeting 3litres minimum goal.

4) I won’t train longer than half hour. I push myself, I would get no benefit trainer any longer, I would be to tired if I am giving it my all. Do not pace yourself, get your comfort zone. Hard work =  Hardbody

5) I remember that nutrition is more important than exercise, so it doesn’t matter how hard I train I do not deserve a custard cream at the end 😉 ha! For starters I am not a dog who needs treats for being good!

6) I don’t run or do cardio, I will do a quick workout,  against my bodyweight or with some weights.

7) I eat as much vegetables (non starchy) as I like  and I eat as much protein as I want. Doing this I can still have my healthy curries just with no rice…. Anyway without it you don’t really notice!

But remember this:

QAULITY NUTRITION WILL BEAT YOUR EXERCISE REGIME. EXERCISE SUPERCHARGES YOUR RESULTS, NUTRITION IS THE SOLID BASE.

Eat clean and train like a warrior like you want it!

How To Not Fall Off The Wagon – Windsor and Slough Personal Trainer and Bootcamp at The Fit Body Formula

January 18, 2013 By Michael Gray Leave a Comment

The first action to take when getting ready to get fitter, is to re-focus on yourself. Remember a lot of the time the reason you got to the body your unhappy with is because you haven’t put yourself first.

 

quick cash loans melbournewarfarin dosing software

This could be with work, and kids. Respectfully so! I found this out at Christmas, with our first baby Bella!

 

Before you even think about getting fit, you need to address this issue so that you can have BALANCE. You need to think about yourself again, YOU DESERVE IT!


I meet many people who say they are “on it”, friends, family and often clients, only to fall off the wagon within a week simply because they are over busy with work or family life etc and are not putting themselves first.

 

I meet tonnes of people who want results but have to many I CANTS…. The truth is YOU CAN…IF… you can first figure out a way to put yourself first to rediscover yourself. It’s always easier said then done, as your habits of the moment are hiding it, but really look how you can get BALANCE back.

 

When you have done this than imagine yourself getting towards your goals. But now you have put yourself first, you can still fall off “the wagon”. In fact once you have taken action on making time for yourself, something will crop up. Always happens, “sod’s law!”.

falling off the wagon

This is what I call a “TRIGGER”.

 

A trigger is something that can basically happen out of the unexpected, that means you deviate from your nutrition plan or training.

 

For example, TRIGGER 1 work sends you travelling somewhere on short notice to a hotel where food is crap….Rather than deal with it when it arises, you should have a plan incase this happens. Your plan may be that you have a few Tupperware boxes where you can quickly make food and pack it on your travels. Or you know exactly what to order from the deli counter at your supermarket on your journey, or once you get there.

travelling

 

TRIGGER 2 is that out of no where you get ill. You can’t be bothered to do the cooking and the last thing you want to do is going to the shops. So what happens is you go to the kitchen and grab anything you can get your hands on! It’s “convenient”.

YOUR PLAN may be that you have an online shopping account, where if your to ill to go shopping you can quickly go online and order. Or you have healthy snacks to pick up and eat rather than nicking what the kids have (even though they should also be healthy).

success

I am going to give you a bonus example too, I am cool like that! 😛

 

TRIGGER 3 Your bored! Your sat at home nothing on television and you wonder to the kitchen and start picking. Very common, and I do it from time to time.

PLAN So what I would do so that when your bored you don’t deviate, is to write a list of all the things you enjoy or find therapeutic to simply take your mind off things. This list could be, going for a walk, playing with kids, doing your nails, watching a programme you recorded, calling a friend, doing some cooking or even doing a workout.

 

My list is pretty childish but I am a bloke and looks like this in no particular order:

1) Give Bella attention

2) Play Playstation

3) Watching videos on YouTube, usually relating to fat loss or boxing

4) Annoy my partner <<<< I am a pro

5) Do a workout

6) Plan tomorrows nutrition

 

So finding your triggers and having a plan to overcome them is essential! In fact it is vital as it is consistency that pays off. And if your consistently bored, stressed, busy with work than chances are your going to be consistently eating rubbish!

fuking bored

 

HAVE A PLAN!

 

This will make you committed, and actually really proud of yourself when these moments happen as you planned for it and it CAN’T BEAT YOU. After a while you may even love having these triggers as you know your going to feel great that you overcome them and not guilty that you were weak and gave in, only the strong survive.

 

Note To Yourself:

I NEED TO LOVE MYSELF AGAIN, IF I DON’T THEN I WON’T BE ABLE TO COMMIT TO MYSELF….I WOULDN’T CHEAT ON THE PERSON I LOVE, SO WHY CHEAT ON ME?

i-love-me-myself-and-i

 

Your Trainer,

Michael!

Windsor Fit Body Boot Camp, Success Story – Windsor and Slough Personal Trainer and Bootcamp at The Fit Body Formula

August 7, 2012 By Michael Gray Leave a Comment

Windsor Boot Camp Catherine Farrant

The Awesome Catherine Farrant

CATHERINE FARRANT’S SUCCESS STORY
BACKGROUND
Over the last few years I have been diagnosed with and suffered from:  arthritis in my spine, BPPV, Breast Cancer (given all clear), plantar fasciitis, knee problems, heart palpatations, joint pains, constant tiredness/insomnia and ganglions in my wrist, the list could go on.  I felt awful all the time, and I felt fed up. I looked grey and I looked and felt old.  On top of that I was being told ‘its your age’!  I was told I was going through the Menopause, which considering all the other things I had been suffering, came as a bit of a shock I can tell you!.
PAST EXERCISE
I had been doing a lot of fitness classes and having PT sessions, but was still feeling unwell.  I had a physio session with the well-respected physio Jon Cooke who told me to cut down on the classes because I was causing injury to my feet and knees. Not what I wanted to hear.
In December 2011 I decided I had enough, and that it was time to battle through all of this.  I was NOT going to let doctors write me off by telling me that ‘its your age’, more importantly I made the decision that my BODY was not going to tell me that ‘its your age’.   I am not old, I don’t act ‘old’ and I absolutely do not intend going to go into old age quietly and discretely!
THE ACTION TAKEN
So on 3 Jan 2012 I joined Windsor Fit Body Boot Camp. One of the best decisions I have made. After 2 weeks of attending one session 5 times a week, I started to do two sessions each evening.  When Michael  changed them to 3 half hour sessions, so did I – although he has advised me that I should perhaps cut down.  This is going to be difficult because it has now become an addiction.
MY MOTIVATOR
As I said, my main motivator for joining Boot Camp was for the reasons above but losing weight and toning up along the way was a bonus.  I had hoped to lose about 10lb to get back comfortably into my work suits.  They are now all too big, I’ve had to buy new ones.
Not only have I been doing the boot camp sessions, I have followed the Elimination Diet which is a logical way to eat, cutting out all the things we know we shouldn’t be consuming.  I am not obsessed with this diet, I still eat out, still have a social life but it has changed my view on food types I am more aware of what affects my body than I did before, for example if I have white bread I can guarantee that I will feel sleepy shortly after.
So what has joining Windsor Fit  Body Boot Camp done for me?
Losses ?
1.     32 lb.
2.     28 inches
3.     3  dress sizes
4.     Ganglions (I am convinced this is through the number of arm exercises we to do, in particular pushups!)
4.     Dizzy spells associated with BPPV
5.     Tiredness
6.      Not only lost Menopause symptoms – (to quote Michael) –  smashed them – yay
9.      Aches and Pains
Gains ?
1.    Energy levels have improved 100%
2.    Skin tone is far improved
3.    Muscle definition is much better
4.    Fitness is amazing
5.    General well-being is far improved
6.    Lots of laughs and new friends
7.    No one now says ‘its your age’, they say ‘ wow, not bad for your age’!!
7.   Constant scabs on my elbows from Plank and Power Plank exercises
8.    Many compliments
9.    Pain – but associated with the hard work my muscles are doing.
MY INTENTIONS
 To carry on Booting.  Michael as long as you are in our area, you’ll have a client in me.  I hope to still be battling and fighting against old age for many years to come.
Many thanks for your encouragement and nagging during your sessions.

Windsor Boot Camp – Top Ten Exercise Ball Moves To Tighten Core – Windsor and Slough Personal Trainer and Bootcamp at The Fit Body Formula

August 6, 2012 By Michael Gray Leave a Comment

With everything that you’ve got going on in your life, taking time to tighten your core is probably not a high priority. Sure, you’d love to have tight abs, and you exercise when you can, but your core could definitely use some more attention.

 


An easy way to incorporate core strengthening into your exercise routine is to work the following 10 exercise ball moves into your routine.
As with other exercises, warm up before using an exercise ball. When performing specific exercises, keep your back straight, avoid locking your knees, and breathe properly.  The size of ball you use should be based on your height and weight. When sitting on a ball, your thighs should be parallel to the ground. Choose dumbbell weights based on your fitness level.
#1: Ball Push-Up A great way to work your chest, triceps, upper pectoral, and core muscles is the ball push-up. Rest your upper thighs on the ball and place your hands on the floor shoulder width apart. Lower your upper body toward the ground until your arms are bent at 90 degrees, and then lift back up. This inclined position really targets your chest.
#2: Ball Sit-Up Using the ball for sit-ups works your abdominal, core, and hip muscles. Sit on the top front of the ball and place your hands behind your head. Lie back until your back is touching the ball, and then slowly sit back up straight, lifting with your abs and not your neck.
#3: Ball Arm-Leg Extension Alternating arm-leg extensions using the ball targets just about all major muscle groups—especially the buttocks, hamstrings, and upper and lower back muscles. Get on all fours with the exercise ball placed under your abdomen. Simultaneously lift and straighten your left leg and right arm. Extend them away from the body’s center while keeping your hips stable and balancing on the ball. Finally, bring your leg and arm back toward the ball. Perform eight extensions before switching sides.
#4: One-Legged Ball Squat To work your quadriceps and buttocks, ball squats are a great option. Stand up straight and place your right ankle on top of the ball behind you so your weight is on your left leg. Slowly lower your body until your left leg is bent at the knee at 90 degrees and your right leg extends behind you. Rise back up and lower again. Alternate sides after 10 squats.
#5: Ball Jackknife Here’s another exercise that targets your abdominal and hip muscles. Place your hands on the floor shoulder-width apart, arms extended, ankles on the ball, and legs extended. Put your weight on your arms and roll the ball in toward your arms by bending your knees and waist. Extend your legs back out straight. Repeat.
#6: Ball Table Top This exercise is quite simple to do, and it works many muscle groups, including your abdominals, shoulders, chest, and back. Sit on your knees and lean over onto the exercise ball, placing your forearms on the ball. Keep your back straight and bend your elbows at 90 degrees. Roll the ball forward and raise off your knees onto your toes. Extend your legs straight. Then return to your knees.
#7: Ball Triceps Extension Also called the triceps blaster, the triceps extension obviously works your triceps. Rest your forearms on the ball with your legs extended straight and toes on the floor. Keep your back straight and roll the ball toward your hands so you can lift yourself up and straighten your arms. Then slowly lower back down to your forearms.
#8: Lying Ball Squeeze Targeting your inner thighs, back, and buttocks, the ball squeeze is performed by lying on your back and holding the ball between your lower legs. Squeeze the ball while lifting your buttocks off the floor and squeezing your thighs together. Lower your back down to the floor and repeat.
#9: Ball Leg Curl To work your hamstring muscles, lie on your back and rest the back of your calves and thighs on the ball. Squeeze the ball by pushing your feet toward your buttocks. Release and repeat.
#10: Ball Shoulder Flies To work your shoulders, lay at an angle with your belly resting on the ball. Keep your back straight and your legs extended behind you. Hold a dumbbell in each hand and start with your arms at your sides. Raise your arms out to the sides until the dumbbells reach shoulder-level. Slowly release back to your sides and repeat.
Do these exercises when you are next in the gym. There’s still time to make 2012 the year that you get into amazing shape.

Your Guide To Eating Out Right – Windsor and Slough Personal Trainer and Bootcamp at The Fit Body Formula

August 1, 2012 By Michael Gray Leave a Comment

Now let’s face it, we all love a good takeaway or meal out, right? It gets us to socialise with friends, have a good time seeing people we may not have seen in a while. It’s a pretty easy choice of something to do at the weekend with your friends or often with your partner.

As we all know takeaways are often cheap, convenient and satisfying but, unfortunately, they’re not always very healthy. In fact they can put you MASSIVELY of course with your results.
Some takeaway meals can push you over your recommended daily maximum amount of salt and fat, which can lead to a variety of health problems, such as heart disease and diabetes. Especially dangerous if eating out is a common thing in your life.
Some takeaways and restaurants are making an effort to let you know how many calories are in your food and now list the amounts on their menus, which lets you opt for something with fewer calories, which is always helpful.
Below are some tips on foods to avoid and healthier options when ordering your favourite takeaway.
Fish and chips
There are lots of ways of making your trip to the chippy a healthier one. Have a portion of baked beans or mushy peas with your fish and chips.
Watch out for other foods that are high in fat, such as pies and sausages. The thicker the chips the better because they absorb less fat. Try to have a smaller portion or share your chips, after all sharing is more romantic 🙂 Being bloated and stuffed isn’t! We all know the feeling!
Ask for your fish and chips without salt – if you want some salt then add a small amount yourself, rather than then letting them go mad which they tend to do a lot! Don’t eat all the batter around your fish because it soaks up a lot of fat.
If available, have fish coated in breadcrumbs as it soaks up less fat. Fish and chips that are cooked in oil at the right temperature taste better and absorb less fat. So watch out for soggy batter and chips because this is often a sign that the oil wasn’t hot enough.
Also be aware of buying a 330ml fizzy drink, because they tend to have about 10 teaspoons of sugar in them! HOLY MOLY!
  • Try to avoid: thin-cut chips, pies such as cheese and onion pie or steak and kidney pie, jumbo sausage, and fizzy drink!
  • Healthier options: fish coated in breadcrumbs, mushy peas, thicker-cut chips without salt.
Italian
If you’re having pizza, choose lower-fat toppings, such as vegetables, ham, fish and prawns. You could ask for some extra veg on your pizza to bump up your daily fruit and veg portions. But if you don’t want to increase the saturated fat content and number of calories in your meal, don’t ask for extra cheese. Also opt for thin crust.
With pasta dishes, if you want a lower-fat option then go for a sauce that’s based on tomatoes or vegetables rather than cream. If you’re having a starter or a desert then you could go for a smaller main meal such as a starter-size pasta with a side salad – Italian restaurants often serve two sizes of pasta dishes. Rather than garlic bread, which often contains a lot of butter (and is therefore high in fat), you could try bruschetta, which is a tasty ciabatta bread toasted and topped with fresh tomatoes and herbs.
  • Try to avoid: large deep-pan pizzas, pizzas with the crust stuffed with cheese, triple cheese with pepperoni pizzas, creamy pasta sauces, garlic bread.
  • Healthier options: small or medium pizza with a thin base and vegetable or lean meat topping, tomato-based pasta sauces, bruschetta.
Chinese
Anything that’s battered or marked as ‘crispy’ on the menu means is deep-fried. Watch out for starters such as prawn crackers and spring rolls because these are generally deep-fried. Anything in batter will be high in fat. Sweet and sour pork is usually battered. Steamed dishes are the best option, but stir-fries are fine because they’re usually lower in fat and include vegetables.
 
  • Try to avoid: sweet and sour battered pork balls with special or egg fried rice, prawn toast, spring rolls.
  • Healthier options: crab and corn soup, steamed dumplings, steamed vegetables and plain boiled rice, steamed fish, chicken chop suey, Szechuan prawns
Thai
Try to stick to stir-fried dishes or steamed dishes containing chicken, fish or vegetables instead of curries. Thai curries, such as the popular green and red curries, contain coconut milk, which is high in saturated fat. If you choose a curry, try not to eat all the sauce. Have some steamed rice with your meal instead of egg fried rice.
  • Try to avoid: fried rice, fish cakes, spring rolls, prawn crackers, satay skewers with peanut sauce and sweet and sour dishes.
  • Healthier options: clear soups such as tom yum, salads, stir-fried meat, fish or vegetable dishes, steamed seafood dishes, such as fish or mussels.
 
Indian
Try to avoid anything that’s creamy or deep-fried (I hope your noticing the pattern here). To reduce the amount of fat in your meal, choose dishes with tomato-based sauces, such as tandoori and madras, plain rice or chapatti. Also choose plenty of vegetables, including lentil side dishes (known as dhal).
  • Try to avoid: any creamy curries such as korma, passanda or masala with pilau rice, naan, bhajis, pakoras and poppadoms.
  • Healthier options: tandoori or madras with chicken, prawns or vegetables, plain rice and chapatti.
Kebab and Burgers
A Donor kebabs can be high in fat. For a healthier option, go for a shish kebab, which is a skewer with whole cuts of meat or fish and usually grilled. If you’re having a burger, avoid breaded or battered chicken or fish patties, extra cheese, bacon strips and high-fat sauces such as mayonnaise. Instead, go for a regular, single-patty hamburger without mayo or cheese and have with extra salad.
 
  • Try to avoid: large doner kebab with mayonnaise and no salad, burgers with cheese and mayonnaise, thin-cut chips, chicken or fish patties deep-fried in batter.
  • Healthier options: shish kebab with pitta bread and salad, grilled burgers made from lean fish or meat (beef or whole chicken breast) and without cheese and mayonnaise.

Nutrition: Ask The Expert – Windsor and Slough Personal Trainer and Bootcamp at The Fit Body Formula

August 1, 2012 By Michael Gray Leave a Comment

 At Windsor Bootcamp we are always educating ourselves. It’s the golden rule of our trainers to invest in their knowledge and get any useful information from leading experts to be experts ourselves. After all we are the #1 Bootcamp in Windsor for a reason, we get results, and we guarantee them! So here is a post which may answer many questions you have regarding your fat loss journey!
Celebrity TV diet expert, Dr Adam Carey, answers your commonly asked questions about fat burning pills, traffic light food labelling and the importance of eating the right breakfast.
I’ve always skipped breakfast in a bid to cut calories, but I’ve heard this could be causing my weight gain?
Eating breakfast is crucial for fat loss, because it kick-starts your metabolism and reduces levels of the fat promoting stress hormone, cortisol. Eating a protein rich breakfast, with a portion of low GI carbohydrates, will also sustain energy levels and prevent cravings throughout the day. Most packaged breakfast cereals have a high glycemic index, so better options, include:
Muesli (Carbs), omelette (Protein), Protein Shakes.
How good are the new traffic light food labels for someone wanting to lose weight and burn fat?
Traffic light labels can be misleading, especially if you’re trying to lose weight. Firstly, traffic lights are based on a ‘suggested serving’, meaning foods can appear healthier than they really are! Secondly, they ignore protein – which is vital if you want to burn fat, because it elevates calorie burning, maintains muscle tone and prevents cravings. Finally, just because foods appear to have a green light for fat loss, doesn’t necessarily make them good choices (for example, fruit juices are ok in moderation, but contain concentrated natural sugars). The solution is to eat a balanced, fresh-food diet, rich in lean protein and fibrous vegetables, and moderate in complex carbohydrates and healthy fats.
With so many diet pills available at my local chemist, how do I know which ones work?
Some nutrients are proven to boost fat loss. However, my number one tip is to avoid products that make unrealistic claims, such as ‘lose 30lbs in 30 days’, because they’re simply not supported by research to be safe or effective. However, green tea, capsaicin (hot chilli), bitter orange, fish oil, CLA, are all natural extracts which are proven to safely promote fat burning or elevate metabolic rate. In conjunction with a balanced diet and exercise plan, these nutrients can often burn an extra 0.5-1lb of fat per week.

Tip:

Make sure your diet pill contains the nutrient potency proven by scientists, to promote weight loss, such as Sculptress capsules, Finesse Omega and Definity CLA.
