Top 6 Fat Loss Supplements for 6 Pack Abs
My last few 6 Pack Abs tutorials have focused on the training program and specific exercise demonstrations. However, as I’ve said before, getting leaner depends mostly upon how you eat. Abs are made in the kitchen. In addition to an intelligent nutrition plan there are several supplements that will support your fat loss endeavors. This short video discusses my choices for the Top 6 Fat Loss Supplements for 6 Pack [...]
Advanced Core Training for 6 Pack Abs
As I discussed in my previous “6 Pack Abs” tutorials, the key factors for revealing your abs are: 1) Training – MRT workouts, alternating high volume and high intensity training; and HIIT on an empty stomach. 2) Nutrition – Reduce carbs (especially high GI carbs and starches like most grains), avoid processed foods, include healthy fats and proteins, stay hydrated, watch your portions, track your caloric intake, and pay attention [...]
Reduce Your Waist – 3 Lessons From Rob Ford
I couldn’t help but hear the news about Rob Ford over the last couple of days. On the weekend he announced that he was officially “giving up” on his Cut the Waist Challenge, just 3 weeks before it was scheduled to finish. This was after missing several scheduled weigh-ins. Yes, this is the same challenge that he publicly started in January to raise money for charity and help motivate others to [...]
MRT Super-Set Program for Revealing Your Abs
In today’s post I will be continuing the tutorial series for my Pursuit of 6 Pack Abs. This time I want to share an outline of another Metabolic Resistance Training program I use for getting leaner. I previously introduced a circuit training program which I suggested using for about 3 weeks (Metabolic Conditioning Phase). Now it’s time to move on to the Metabolic Drive Phase which involves heavier weights and [...]
How Exercise Helps Cancer Patients Decrease Depression
A colleague of mine recently asked if he could submit a guest post to my blog related to a cause he is involved with: Living with Cancer. As some of you may already know, my father passed away from cancer at the young age of 46 (which is close to my current age). I know too many people personally who have been affected by this terrible disease, and I was [...]
Is Spot Reduction Actually Possible?
If you have a strong background in health and fitness, or if you’ve ever worked with a personal trainer, I’m certain you’ve heard over and over that it’s impossible to “spot reduce” body fat. Heck, I’ve been telling my clients that for years as well… “you can’t reduce body fat in a specific area of your body by exercising that specific area… fat is metabolized off the entire body.” For [...]
YOU Have the Power… AND the Responsibility!
Over the last few years I’ve been studying a lot about the Law of Attraction, the psychology of success, the power of positive thinking, and the importance of “belief” (I don’t necessarily mean that in a religious context). The more I learn, the more I realize how much I still need to learn and understand, but the universe is definitely starting to make more sense to me now. It’s starting [...]
Celebrate Like a WARRIOR!
I’ve just signed up for something kinda crazy to celebrate my 42nd birthday this year. I’ve decided to participate in the Warrior Dash, that is taking place in Barrie, Ontario this year on July 21st. As my birthday is on July 16th, I thought the timing was great, and it makes for a great followup to my New Year’s Day celebration which was the Polar Bear Dip! This is in [...]

Burn Fat with Circuit Training
In my previous post on my quest for 6 pack abs, I discussed the benefits of High Intensity Interval Training (vs. traditional cardio)… check it out at this link: -> HIIT will get you FIT! Another powerful training technique for melting off huge amounts of fat, while maintaining your lean tissue, is called MRT (Metabolic Resistance Training). MRT basically refers to a resistance training workout that combines effective compound exercises [...]
