Transformation Spotlight

Hey guys

Here's another amazing transformation I'll like to share with you.

When my client, Huy, started working out with me, his primary goal was just to improve his overall strength and stamina. While I assured him that he would also look better, he muttered "I've never seen my abs and probably never will".

Well, despite his erratic work schedule, allergies and asthma, we persevered and you can see the results yourself. Check out his abs (yes, he does have them) and the vascularity in his arms.

Although this process took a little longer, it just goes to show that it doesn't matter in what condition you begin working out. The real important thing is sticking it out with your diet and training. Take a look at how we've changed his physique.

Good going, Huy! Now we can work on packing on some lean muscle!

Get Ready for Healthy Dipping on Valentine’s Day

Hey guys

It’s almost Valentine’s so here are some healthy ways to keep your new year’s resolution diet while enjoying a romantic time with your loved one.

Everybody knows (and they should since I’ve mentioned this before) that strawberries are just 2 cal for a small fruit or about 50 cal a cup. As such, the strawberry is considered one of the best additions in a low calorie diet. And it is eaten a lot on Valentine’s too.

Peak season for strawberries is late spring through early summer. They are now, however, sold year-round in many food markets. The Romans prized wild strawberries for their medicinal properties. Ounce for ounce, strawberries have actually more Vitamin C than citrus fruits and according to the American Cancer Society, foods rich in Vitamin C may lower the risk of cancers of the gastrointestinal tract.

Now that we know this, let me describe some healthy ways to dip them. For a light and healthy start, you can dip them in a mix of yogurt, granola or cereal with dried fruit. That’s always a tasty combination. For the more traditional Valentine’s observer, try a dip of melted dark chocolate with mixed nuts. Seductive with the hit of crunch!

For a complete list of 10 healthy dips including one high in protein, shoot me an email. Hope you guys enjoy this and have a great Valentine’s

Love
