Goodbye Past Frustrations

On the Eve of 2009 I have been doing a lot of thinking. There are many reasons to look forward and to keep 2008 a memory. With 2009 is going to come many new changes. So read it, reread it and say it out loud.

Goodbye 2008.

Goodbye past frustrations.

Goodbye excuses.

Goodbye lack of motivation.

Goodbye muffin tops.

Goodbye belly fat.

Goodbye old body.

Say hello to 2009!

This is the year, this is your year. Time to create your new body. Time to find others just like you to help you along the way.

A New You

First, I want to say thank you all for the positive feedback from yesterday's email. It was great to hear that so many of you have taken the initiative to actually write down what it is that you want to achieve in 2009. For doing so you are all one step ahead!

So with today being New Year's Eve Eve many of you will be heading to your local grocery store to pick up last minute items for your New Year's party. If I can give you any advice heading into tomorrow night it won't be to avoid enjoying your favorite "adult" beverage or not to enjoy a meal out with friends or family.

No, I want you to enjoy the end of 2008 with the ones you care about most.

But, remember this.

2009 will be here.

So get ready to enjoy a new beginning. Lets make 2009 the year that you finally stop making excuses and start making change.

There are already a great supporting cast of women at http://www.coretrainingforwomen.ning.com/ who have taken this approach. Head on over their and join them. Introduce yourself and let all of us know how we can help you make 2009 the year of your dreams.

2009 is going to be special to many of us. 2008 will soon be a memory.

Out with the old and in with the new. I know an oldie, but a goodie :)

Here's to a New Year.

A New Life.

A New Body.

A New Approach.

A New You.

Your Action Steps to Success

Very relaxing.

That is how I can sum up my first "so-called" vacation in nearly 2 years. No, sorry I haven't taken any special trips, just enjoying my time off before I embark on my new business venture.
I hope that all of you have taken the time to enjoy this holiday season. I even took a 3 day vacation from my computer, OK that's if you don't count my Blackberry use :)

So we are embarking on a new year and new beginnings! 2009, is right around the corner!

2009 is going to be a BIG year for me. There are many changes coming in my life. Starting my own business, competing as a professional bodybuilder, and seeing my brother, United States Marine Corps Sergeant Robert P. English, head overseas to Afghanistan for the better part of 2009.

Have you taken the steps to make 2009 your most successful year yet?

Take the time to start with a few success-minded action steps to take 2009 by storm.

Have you taken these action steps?

Have you written down your long-term 2009 goals?

Have you taken each of these goals and broken them down into smaller monthly goals?

Have you cut them up into smaller daily and weekly goals?

2009 will be here by this weekend! Take the time out today to start.

If you need help, please do not hesitate to ask for help.

Merry Christmas!

Christmas is a tradition in my family.

Not so much the present filled experience it was as a child, today it is more about family.

Enjoy your holiday season with your family.

Thank you for all your support in this new chapter in my life!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays,

A Holiday Tradition

Hi Friends,

This morning I normally would be waking up to at 4am to take care of Bruschi (the World's Best Boxer!) and then head over to train my 530am Boot Campers. Well, not this morning.

My new life has begun. Today is the start of a new venture and a exciting chapter in my life.

With today being Christmas Eve, it is a nice feeling to place business to the side and spend time with family. No matter what we celebrate during this time of year it should be a time that we spend with loved ones.

Since I was a small child, my sister and I have had a Christmas Tradition. Starting at 8pm on Christmas Eve, A Christmas Story is shown for 24 hours on TBS. We would watch the movie over and over again until the final showing at 6pm on Christmas night. I can't tell you how many times over the years I have found myself laughing at seeing Ralphy on Christmas morning in his pink bunny suit on or aka "The Pink Nightmare."

I hope you take this holiday season to spend quality time with your family and friends.

I know I will be and I am looking forward to a success-filled 2009 for all of us.

Dedicated to your fitness success,

A New Beginning

Today, is the start of a new life.

After 3 and a half years as an employee of Big Sky Fitness I have moved on.

We live our lives so fast that sometimes we don't take the time to sit back and reflect.

Well, I have spent the past few months reflecting. Not only my future but our future together. I have created my vision for success and have taken the steps to make this vision a reality.

I am starting a new journey as a Fitness Professional.

Thank you for being a part of my life.

I am looking forward to our future success together.

Happy Holidays,

It's A Long Trip Alone

Well, the holiday season is upon us and all I can think about it what is in store for 2009.

I was listening to my IPod this morning on my ride over to train my 5:30am Boot Camp and I heard the song "Long Trip Alone" by Dierks Bentley. Now this was definitely not my first time listening to this song (I have a special place in my heart for country music) but something about listening to it this time was much different.

As I sat driving in the 12 degree weather, I started to analyze my life and where I am headed and what I want to accomplish in the New Year. Then my focused switched.

I started to think about all of you and where you are headed in the New Year.

Will 2009 be the year you truly make those lifestyle changes?

Now I understand for many of you, country may not be your choice of music. Nor am I going to request that you start listening to it. In actuality this has nothing to do with country music and has entirely to do with you and your pathway to success.

Many of you have heard me speak about the need for positive social support. It will be your # 1 key to successfully achieving your goals in 2009. You need to start now by surrounding yourself with positive people who will be there for you every step of the way.

No one deserves to go at this alone. We can make 2009 a new beginning. As Dierks says...

"'Cause it's a long trip alone."

Take a listen and tell me if you too see the message.

Must Love Dogs!

Yesterday, Mother Nature dropped anywhere from 6 to 14 inches in Connecticut.

There is nothing more enjoyable than watching my 2 year old Boxer, Bruschi, run around in the snow. I truly believe he thinks he is another world.





If you are wondering why I missed you yesterday, lets just say my computer was taken away from me.I was in the middle of cooking a late lunch (3 Omega-3 egg omelet with a pinch of mozzarella and 1/4 cup of baby spinach. 1/2 cup oatmeal with 2 tbsp Natural Peanut Butter) and my best friend's Chihuahua was in my living room. Well, after eating my lunch I grabbed my computer to find it had a low battery. See, Diesel (the Chihuahua), had chewed through my power chord. My battery than ran out and I was without a computer until I was loaned a replacement adapter.

Must love dogs :)

I hope all of you have been enjoying The 5 Secrets to a Sexy Core. Next week I will post a video demonstration of Workout A. I want to leave no stone unturned to make sure you are given every tool possible to get you through the rigors of the holiday season.

The Incredible, Edible Egg

I have always been a supporter of good ole' Mr. Egg. I mean the poor guy has gotten such a bad rap in recent years. From the "experts" telling you a simple egg contains too much fat to being told that you must avoid eggs to protect your cholesterol numbers.

Think about this for a second.

Do you really believe your daily egg intake is what's contributing to your high cholesterol?

Well, if you still think the safe bet is to avoid eggs, you may want to see this latest research. Researchers at Surrey University in England have proven that eating two eggs a day can help cut cholesterol and lose weight. The study compared close to 50 overweight individuals and compared one group who ate two eggs a day as part of a reduced calorie diet and another who cut out the eggs while still following a reduced calorie diet.

After 4 weeks both groups lost weight and lowered their cholesterol.

The research study provides further proof that eggs are indeed good for you. There is no convincing evidence to place a link with our intake of dietary cholesterol and the increased risk for coronary heart disease.

It goes to show the saturated fat you are consuming in pastry, processed meats, biscuits and cakes is more likely adding to your blood cholesterol levels than dear old Mr. Egg, who is low in saturated fat.

Eggs have plently of health benefits from providing a great source of protein to satiety when eaten first thing in the morning.

Egg yolks, the yellow insie that most people are afraid of, actually contains essential fatty acids that in only a few a day can supply you with more nutrients than you get from your daily multi vitamin!

Eggs can be cooked and used in more ways than I can explain in this article.

So, ask yourself this again?

What is truly causing your high blood cholesterol?

Not Mr. Egg!

Tyler English, NASM-PES, CPT

How many times a week can I train my abdominals?

I know many of you have sent emails with questions regarding everything from nutrition to your current workouts. Yesterday, I answered one about eggs and cholestorol (I'll post it tomorrow)This was one I received over the weekend. Good stuff and a VERY common question.

Question: Tyler, I have been doing my strength training and intervals three times a week. I am doing great and have lost 3 pant sizes but I just feel like I need to do more. I know this is totally pyschological and I need to get over the "less is more" aspect. I want to add something into my "off" days. What about ab workouts? Can I do more of those? It is a trouble spot for me and I just want to do all that is possible to lose my stomach. But realistically how many times can I train my abdominals?

Answer:

The easy idea is to do more. First, look at your results how has your body changed. So that should be telling you to stick with the game plan. Glad to hear you have lost 3 pant sizes! Keep up the good work!

Adding in more activity on your "off" days is not a bad thing. You can absolutely do this. As far as adding in a "ab workout" day, that is fine as well though I would make it more core exercises than anything.

Remember, every exercise you perform in your current resistance training is a "core" exercise. You are recruiting more muscle fibers and thus sheding unwanted belly fat over a longer period of time.

Adding in a "core" day is a good idea, just be sure to give your body enough recovery.

Your abdominals are muscles and they need rest too!

Remember every exercise is a core exercise,

"I'll just burn more calories"

How many times have you found yourself say this?

A day/night of too much self indulgence and you take to the treadmill and run and run and run until YES 500 calories!!

So who cares what you ate and drank the night before. Well, YOU should care!

Exercise physiologists have long said there is little in the workout world that is more overly exaggerated then most people's estimates of how many calories they burn.

There are a few other key "calorie counting" tools that are more inaccurate in there calculations. Yet, most people can still be found believing everything their special "counters" tell them.

Take a look at these few calorie counting tools and why they are a poor assessment of the correct number of calories that you have burnt.

1. The Display on your Cardio Machine: They entice you with their precise-looking calorie counters that continue to tabulate as you go. Look despite the official looking charts and calculations it is impossible to accurately estimate the number of calories you burn.

2. The Beloved Heart Rate Monitor: Very simple hear, researchers have shown heart rate does not calculate easily into calories. So don't burn 900 calories according to your monitor and reward yourself with MORE food!

Calorie counting skepticism has its many faults.

ONE: two individuals of the same age, gender, height, weight and even the same fitness level can burn a different amount of calories at the same exertion level.

TWO: Familiarity, the more familiar you are with an exercise the fewer calories your body will burn at the same level of effort.

THREE: Even the "experts" who created your cardio machine don't know the answer. Leading fitness equipment retailer Precor cautions that their machines are not suppose to give the exact calories burnt but instead a estimation of the calories an "average person" would burn at the given work level. Do you know what the "average person" looks like, well neither do they.

Get over the calorie counting madness that you are surrounded by. Avoid it and use the REAL tools to help you shed unwanted body fat.

1. EAT WHOLE NATURAL FOODS: Lean proteins, fruits and veggies. Avoid "empty calories" and you know what I am talking about there. Avoid breads, processed foods, pasta and soy, yes soy, a topic for another day ;)

2. FOLLOW A INTENSE RESISTANCE TRAINING PROGRAM: No, heavier resistance is NOT going to make you "bulk up." It will boost your metabolism for 24-48 hours POST workout and help sculpt your body into a lean mean fat burning machine.

3. INTERVAL CARDIO: Whether you do short burst cardio, intervals, or bodyweight intervals. Avoid steady state cardio and maximize your effort while minimizing the duration spent exercising.

Stop counting and start moving more intensely. Burning more is not always your best way to more more belly fat. Turn your body into a metabolic furnace that melts the fat away in record time.

Here is a quote to replace burning more calories.

"Do more, in less time!"

Now go do it!

The # 1 Component for Fat Loss Success

Do you know what the most important component in any weight loss program is?

You need to balance your nutrition, resistance training and cardio in order to lose body fat, right?

Well, guess what? This is only 50% correct.

Do you need proper nutrition, a structured high intensity resistance training program and interval training to shed body fat fast.

Absolutely!

But understand this.

If you do not surround yourself with the proper support you will not be successful.

Period!

End of story!

Social support is and always will be your #1 reason you either succeed or fail at a weight loss program.

In order to add a great environment for social support for all of you I have created a social support network just you women.

Tyler's Weekend Diet

Hi friends,

It's that time again.

The weekend!

So do you find yourself falling off the wagon? Too many commitments, too much to do, bringing the kids here, going there, traveling, blah, blah, blah, blah...

Look, every single roadblock can be prepared for. You need to take the time before your week starts to tackle these roadblocks. This can mean preparing more healthy snacks and meals before the weekend arrives.

If you are struggling to find healthy snack alternatives...go with choices that are easy to prepare. Here are a few of my favorites.

1 oz Organic Whole Natural Almonds
1 Medium Apple
1 cup Green Peppers

1oz Organic Whole Natural Almonds
1oz Organic Whole Natural Cashews
1 cup Blueberries
1 Banana

2 Tbsp Natural Peanut Butter
1 Banana

These are just a few of my favorites. You can very your serving sizes based on your calorie needs. You will notice all of my protein sources are actually better sources of good fats. This being they are very easy to travel with. Be sure to include complete lean protein sources in your daily meals. Here are a few of my favorite meals.

3 Omega-3 Eggs
1 cup Organic Baby Spinach
5 Spears Asparagus
(made into an omelet)
1 Apple
2 Tbsp Natural Peanut Butter

6 oz Chicken Breast
5 oz Sweet Potato
(Salad)
3 Cups Organic Baby Spinach
1 Green Pepper
1 Red Pepper
(small serving oil/vinegar) usually dip my fork into it instead of pouring it on my salad

5oz 93% Lean Beef
1/2 cup Brown Rice
8-10 Asparagus

You can again vary the amounts based on your calorie needs. Let me know how this helps by leaving your comments on the blog.

Thank God It's Friday?

Hi again,

Just to let you know New York/New Jersey traffic is not fun! It took me almost 4 hours to get home...oh maybe because I also got side swiped in Union, NJ! No major damage just a massive headache knowing I was delayed another 90 minutes!

Being that I was in Staten Island for a funeral it was great to see old friends. But no matter where I go work always seems to come up.

My friend and college roommate Tim, who had just lost his father Tom, is getting married in June. So he and his fiance Sue want my help. Now neither of them are seriously overweight, but they want to look their absolute best on June 19, 2009. So they are recruiting my services.

One thing though, they are not waiting for May to be here. They want to get started in January. This is a great idea and many of you should take notice to this.

If you have been thinking about starting an exercise routine or even changing your eating habits in 2009...why not start now!

You can accomplish a lot in the next 3 weeks and really give yourself a jumpstart for 2009.

If you are in need of a program let me know. You can get your hands on my FREE Report 5 Secrets to a Sexy Core by going here

A Man Remembered

I am tired. It is a little before midnight and I just got in from my old college roommates father's wake in Staten Island, NY.

Tom Long had such a lasting effect on so many people that not even 1,000 mass cards could last the first two hour block of calling hours.

My friend Tim and his family physically thanked well over 1,000 people, who came to pay their last respects to a great man.

Not down pouring rain and ice storms north of New York would keep these people away, on this a night to never forget.

Friends and family traveled from all over New York, New Jersey and all over New England.

It wasn't until my college roommates and I ended up in front of all the wonderful pictures of Tom that something so truly important was laid in front of me.

Family.

Take the time out to really let that sink in. One minute they're here the next...

We all have lived this and it is too common in our lives.

It makes everyday you have on this earth that much more important.

Just think of the things that can prolong your life.

Healthy eating habits.

Intense exercise.

These are just two small changes that you can make today to start living a healthier longer life.

Look, my friends father did not die because he did not eat his peas. No his was a freak accident, but what I am telling you is by continually making small changes you will be.

Skinnier...

Healthier...

More vibrant...

Do it now. Start making these change and we will see you years down the road.

Helping you live longer,

Long Road to Recovery

For the past three days now I have been feeling under the weather. My road to recovery is almost complete and I am getting back at it tomorrow.

The subject of recovery got me thinking about YOUR recovery after a intense workout. So what do you do now to help your body recover?

I can sure tell you what a large scale of people do day in and day out. Do you know what it is?

NOTHING!

Yes, absolutely nothing, the exercise and feel that is it. Well, guess what they are wrong!

If you are not actively pursuing a proper post-workout regiment, you really need to start TODAY!

Your solution.

Self Myo-Fascia Release or as it has commonly become known as, foam rolling.

Your muscles through repition and overuse start to form adhesions or trigger points of muscular tissue. These small knots need to be broken up and released and can not be resoloved by common static stretching.

So your solution?

A foam roll.

Don't have one? Visit

www.performbetter.com

Next week I will show you a video on how to use your foam roll.

The Weekend

Hi again,

So is this where you usually blow it?

Is this where you eat the wrong things, consume too many calories and skip the workouts?

It's the weekend.

That is no excuse. Saturday and Sunday are great starting blocks to get your week off on the right foot.

Saturday, enjoy a great workout "outside-the-box" by going for a hike, performing intervals at the park, or even doing a bodyweight circuit while you are there.

A great workout does not need to include the overcrowded local gym.

Sunday, use this as your preparation day. Go to the grocery store and purchase all your healthy selections. Then take the time to prepare you food for the week.

Weekends do not have to be a roadblock, instead use this time wisely to avoid major roadblocks in the upcoming week.

Dedicated to your fitness success,

Web Design Has Begun!

Hi again,

As of this morning I don't have any new information yet on my friend Tim's father. But I am keeping him in my prayers. I hope you do as well.

Thank you for all your kind thoughts.

Today I had a break through with my website. I did want to inform all of you that after a LONG painful process I have hired my web designer for my website. I do not have an official launch date but I can rest assure we are working hard to make sure the website is up for the mother of all fitness months, January.

I will keep you updated.

Keeping You In My Prayers

Today, I received a phone call from a great friend and college roommate, Veron. Now everytime "V" calls me he is usually up beat. But the message he left me was very quiet and he didn't sound like himself. When I called him back he informed me that our friend Tim's father, Tommy, was in a coma.

It was one of those freak accidents that no one ever truly understands why it happens. Tom, Tim's dad, fell on a stairwell and hit his temple. As of today he is in the hospital fighting for his life.

Tim was the first person I met in college. We were freshman roommates and have been friends ever since. Tim gets his sense of humor from his father and whenever the two of them were together, look out!

When I first competed in NYC his family let me stay at their home in Staten Island. Tim has always been a great friend.

My heart goes out to the entire Long Family. Robin, Tim, Matty, Eric, and Sam I love you and will keep you in my prayers.


Stay strong,

Tyler

Fast Core Strength

Hi friends,

Today, I have a great tip for Fast Core Strength.

How many times do you find yourself slouching in a given day?

No, really think about it for a second. How many times do you allow your shoulders and head to slump forward placing undo pressure on your low back?

Probably scary that you can't even count how many times you do it because it occurs ALL DAY LONG.

So here is a really quick tip to eliminate back pain and put you on the path to a STRONGER CORE!

Next time you find yourself slouching follow these easy steps:

1. Draw your shoulders back

2. Keep your head neutral between your shoulders

3. Draw your belly-button in while flexing your glutes

This will help allow for greater muscle fiber recruitment and place your body in a neutral position taking any pressure off your lumbar spine.

This will help strengthen your core without having to perform a workout.

The results can be less low back pain, a stronger sexier core and more overall calories burnt during the day.

Helping you find your inner core,
