Eddie Albert, Fitness Expert and Personal Trainer

Renowned NJ personal trainer, Eddie Albert of Ultimate Fitness in Monmouth County, is now offering a

Kettlebell personal training boot camp.  The kettlebell boot camp classes are 30 minutes in length and are $40.00 per session.  Up to two people can sign up for the personal training boot camp and split the cost (in-home kettlebell training is available in Monmouth County at an additional cost).

Kettlebell training is one of the most effective ways to burn a massive amount of calories and sculpt lean, long muscles.  The American Council on Exercise estimates that kettlebell training can burn up to 1,200 calories per hour.

Eddie is a fan of kettlebell training for women especially.  “Because kettlebell movements are designed to work the body aerobically and an anaerobically, kettlebell exercisers have long, defined muscles.  Kettlebell training does NOT build bulky, thick muscles.”

Benefits of Kettlebell Training

Total body conditioning: Kettlebell exercises are meant to work your entire body.  While it may seem that you are really working your shoulders or legs, kettlebell exercises call on nearly every muscle in your body to perform a movement.  This is unprecedented fat burning and muscle sculpting at its finest.

More results, less time: Because each kettlebell exercise works multiple muscles, you don’t need to spend hours in the gym.  Even a 30 minute power workout will get you incredible results.

Lean muscle development: Because kettlebell exercises use light weight with repeated repetitions in a fast and concise movement, kettlebell exercises have lean, sculpted bodies.  Kettlebell exercises are NOT used to develop bulky or thick muscles.  This is particularly appealing to women.

Major calorie burning:  The American Council on Exercise estimates that Kettlebell workouts burn approximately 20 calories per minute, that’s 1,200 calories an hour!  To burn that many calories, you would need to run a 6 minute mile for about 20 minutes straight!

How can this be you may ask? Well it’s actually not that surprising. Much of the water we get is actually from food, so the feeling of hunger and the feeling of thirst are closely related. Sometimes it’s hard for us to interpret what our body needs and our first instinct is to fulfill any need we have with food.

Mistaking thirst for hunger can be a huge pitfall for dieters. But there are ways to avoid this common diet mistake. For starters, drink more water throughout the day, whether you feel thirsty for not. This will help you feel full and will help you avoid eating more food than you actually need. Another benefit is that you will be fully hydrated which has many wonderful benefits for your overall health, appearance and energy level.

Do you feel fatigued during the day? Chances are you are not drinking enough water. Lack of water is the #1 cause of daytime fatigue.

Water is an important component to successful weight loss. Be sure you are drinking at least 8 glasses of water every day!

The truth is- it isn’t that easy to ‘get big’.  Men and women train hard and heavy for months, sometimes years to achieve maximum muscle development and definition. They also follow extremely strict bodybuilding diets.  If getting big was as simple as just lifting a few weights, the world would be a much leaner place.  Weight training also helps women increase bone density- one of the major factors in warding off osteoporosis. 

Women who would like to incorporate weight training into their fitness routine should speak to a personal trainer at their gym about creating a routine that will help them develop long, lean muscles.  Typically, this is achieved through lighter weights and higher repetitions.  Added benefits of weight training include loss of fat and inches as well as increased strength and stamina.

Having more lean muscle on your body helps you naturally burn calories and fat faster than the average person.  Men typically have more muscle than women, which is why they tend to burn calories quicker or lose weight faster.  The more muscle you have, the faster you will lose weight.

Breakfast: Yogurt

Snack: Apple

Lunch: Grilled chicken on whole wheat wrap

Snack: carrots

Dinner: Fish and broccoli

Looks seemingly healthy right?  Plenty of servings of fruit, some veggies and some whole wheat carbs. In actuality, this diet is not good for many women trying to lose weight.  For starters, this diet is loaded with sugars.  Yogurt is packed with sugars, even though it claims to be light or low-cal.  Apples and carrots have sugars too. I’m not saying to avoid fruits, but in this diet, the combination of fruits and  yogurts is entirely too much sugar. 

Instead of yogurt for breakfast, try egg salad made with low-fat mayo. It’s easy enough to make at home and bring to work in a container.  You can even have it on a slice of whole wheat bread.  Or, have a few egg whites on a slice of whole wheat bread.

For a snack, Apples are good, but they do contain sugar.  Sugars are best when eaten along with a protein.  Eating your protein first helps slow the absorption of sugars into your blood stream, reducing the chance of a spike in blood sugar levels, which leads to your body storing fat.  Have half of an apple with some all natural peanut butter, almonds or walnuts.

Just because your wrap is whole wheat, doesn’t mean it is healthy.  Wraps pack plenty of carbs even if they are whole wheat.  You are better off with low-carb breat, or have a sandwich and remove one piece of bread. The grilled chicken is good.  Having it over lettuce with some tomatoes, cucumbers and a low fat dressing is even better.

Read the labels of the foods you are eating and watch for hidden sugars.  20+ grams of sugar for one meal/snack/drink  is too much.  So check your yogurt labels and rethink breakfast.
