Toned Arms Like Michelle Obama

Regardless of what you think of the current administration, the media has made one thing perfectly clear: Women everywhere are BIG fans of Michelle Obama’s arms.

Now I know that past First Ladies have not usually worn sleeveless dresses. And you may not think it’s appropriate. You may love it. Whichever way you feel I think we can agree on one thing: The woman DOES have some sexy arms on her!

In fact, I’ve seen some reporters condemning her arms because they are flat out jealous of how good she looks.

After doing some research online it’s become clear that the First Lady makes it a priority to exercise. In fact, according to news reports she and the President get up at 5:30am three times a week to workout. Imagine that, two people as busy as they are MAKING time for fitness. Kind of puts the lame old excuse, “I’m too busy”, to rest of good, no?

Hopefully whomever is designing her fitness program is recommending she consume the proper post-workout nutrition. You see, research has shown that recovery of muscle nutrient stores can be enhanced by consuming a specified mixture of carbs and protein immediately after a workout. This greatly improves the recovery time from exercise.

What does that really mean?

It means you’ll make the most of your workout so you can get those sexy, toned arms as fast as possible. It’s also exactly why I recommend Prograde Workout recovery shake to all my clients.

And while I have no idea if Michelle Obama enjoys College Basketball, Prograde Nutrition is having a sale on their Prograde Workout recovery shake to celebrate “March Madness.”

Here are all the details:

- Again, because it’s College Basketball March Madness , the sale is 10% off all purchases of Prograde Workout

Bathing Suit Season Nightmares?

Subject: Bathing Suit Season Nightmares?

It’s getting to be that time of year. Before you know it summer will be here. Heck, it’s already Spring Break for some folks. Seems like just yesterday it was January 1st and everyone was making their New Year’s Resolution. Well, hopefully YOU didn’t because you know a flimsy “resolution” doesn’t get you anywhere.

You know it takes much more than that. You know you need:

Written goals

A solid exercise program

Social support

Discipline

Patience

Sacrifice

A burning desire to succeed

Changes in your lifestyle

Education

Proper nutrition

In other words, you know you need to GET REAL about fat loss. You know it makes no sense to fall for the same old miracle promise or “easy” solution. Whether it’s January 1st or Bathing Suit season doesn’t matter. The proven approach to looking great on the beach is good old fashioned effort.

Look, in one way my life would be a LOT easier if I just lied to you and sold you a bunch of empty promises. Sure, it would make earning a living super easy. Most people are happy to spend their hard earned money on the latest miracle pill or potion. But I wouldn’t be able to look at myself in a mirror. I wouldn’t be able to sleep at night. And that’s why I’ll never be the one to lie to you about what it takes to transform your body.

Do the right thing this Bathing Suit Season. Use it as a catalyst to really change your life. I’d be thrilled to help you. I’d love it if you’d place your trust in me and let me show you the right way to do things.

If you arm yourself with the right knowledge and approach this with a great attitude you’ll NEVER have another Bathing Suit Season nightmare again.

Yours in health,

Five Super Simple Fat Loss Tips

Fat loss isn’t rocket science. I know we love to make our problems seem much bigger than they really are, but when you really look at them they’re typically easy to solve. And that’s often the case with fat loss.

To prove it to you here are five super simple fat loss tips you can easily follow:

1) Stop guzzling liquid sugar. Yes, I mean soft drinks and juices and bottles of iced tea loaded with high fructose corn syrup. For the most part, a 12 oz can of cola is 150 calories of pure sugar. Have a couple of those a day…

2) I’ve written it a gazillion times and I will continue to - eat breakfast! If you want to make fat loss easy then make sure you start your metabolism off on the right foot.

3) Eat more fruit. Aim for at least 5 servings a day.

4) Eat more veggies. Again, aim for at least 5 servings a day.

5) Stop eating so many processed foods. If it comes in a box from your grocery store it’s most likely processed. The fresher the foods the better.

* Bonus tip*

You can make tips 3 and 4 a breeze by using a whole foods based multi. Personally, I love Prograde Nutrition’s VGF 25+ ( http://sandstonefitness.getprograde.com/vgfmen OR http://sandstonefitness.getprograde.com/vgfwomen) because it is made from 25 WHOLE veggies, greens and fruits.

Instantly Identify Online Scams

Nothing makes my blood boil like the Wt. Loss scams I see online. They drive me nuts.

Now it’s bad enough they make absurd claims that are just flat out lies. But what takes the cake is the fact that nowadays they are fraudulently using the Better Business Bureau seal of approval to flat out trick you. Can you believe that?!

So how can you tell if that’s the case?

Simple. If you see the BBB seal on a website and it does NOT hyperlink to the Better Business Bureau website (which is BBB.org) so you can review the company’s history, then it is a fake. It is a scam. The people that have created that site are liars!

Legitimate companies like Prograde Nutrition (insert your store link here/or hyperlink to it) go through the trouble of actually going through the process of getting approved by the Better Business Bureau. When you go to their website you’ll see the BBB seal. And it is legit because it takes you to BBB.org to prove it when you click on the image.

The Internet can be a scary place. But there are good people and good companies doing business online. And now you know one more way to recognize them - AND the bad guys.

Yours in rapid fat loss,

Sandstone Fitness

Subject: Win the Battle Against Fat Cells

As a fitness expert, you know I’ll never promise you a pill is going to be the answer to that “jiggle in your wiggle.” If you want six pack abs you’re going to have to work for them.

BUT…

There is some very promising research out there in regards to a dietary supplement you’ve probably been hearing a lot about.

Yes, I’m talking about Essential Fatty Acids. You probably have heard them called something like Fish Oil pills.

How’s this for good news?!

*University of Georgia researchers have found something pretty amazing about  Essential Fatty Acid supplements containing DHA. Get this: The actually help STOP the conversion of pre-fat cells into fat cells by causing them to die out before they can mature.

Once a pre-fat cell becomes a fat cell, well, there’s no turning back. You’ve got that fat cell for life. Imagine, actually decreasing the accumulation of fat by taking an Essential Fatty Acid supplement containing DHA!

Now let me do my best infomercial voice for you…

But wait, there’s more!

Seriously, that’s not the only benefit of Essential Fatty Acid supplements containing DHA.

According to studies** done at the University of South Australia people that combined exercise with Essential Fatty Acid supplements containing DHA saw greater fat loss than the test group that only exercised and did not take the supplement.

How can you not be excited by these research studies??

Now, personally, I don’t like Fish Oil pills because they cause you to burp like crazy. If you’ve ever taken them you know exactly what I mean. And they aren’t always the highest quality.

I prefer EFA Icon from Prograde Nutrition because they use Krill Oil. It’s been found to be a superior source of Essential Fatty Acids containing DHA. Plus, with EFA Icon there are NO fish burps. And I haven’t even mentioned all the amazing health benefits from this dietary supplement.

If you’re looking to accelerate your fat loss results than I really recommend you go with Prograde Nutrition’s EFA Icon. You can get it here: http:/sandstonefitness.getprograde.com/icon

Yours in rapid fat loss,

Sandstone Fitness

PS - Remember, EFA Icon is NOT a miracle solution. You will need sound nutrition and exercise. BUT the research is there. It’s definitely a supplement with powerful fat loss properties. http:/sandstonefitness.getprograde.com/icon

Weird Reason Breakfast is Boring

Weird Reason Breakfast is Boring

This morning I was sitting in front of my computer struggling to come up with a catchy title for this. I was thinking - yet again - about stressing the importance of breakfast to you.

So as I sat there trying to be clever I mumbled out loud, “Breakfast is boring.”

And there you have it. That’s exactly how I came up with this title. But do NOT take this message lightly.

You see, I know you’re heard it a million times before. “You have to eat breakfast.” And I know it’s not a super sexy message. But do you have any idea how many people I meet as a fitness professional that DO NOT eat breakfast? A lot. And do you have any idea how many of those people that don’t eat breakfast are overweight? Pretty much all of them.

Look, I’m not crazy. I know you don’t have much time in the morning. And I know many of you just aren’t all that hungry right after you wake up.

So let’s look at this another way. You get up each morning and go to work every day because you want a roof over your head and food on the table, right? Day after day after day you go to work because you want the RESULT of that effort.

Well, IF you want to burn fat, feel better and have more energy you WILL eat breakfast every morning. Period. End of discussion.

Some things are boring. Some things just have to be done to get the result you want. For those of you that want to burn fat all day long, breakfast is just one of those things.

Yours in health,

Sandstone Fitness

PS - Prograde Lean (  http://sandstonefitness.getprograde.com/lean ) is a DELICIOUS chocolate meal replacement shake that I recommend to my clients. It’s the perfect solution to breakfast.

Healthy Snack For Rapid Fat Loss

Healthy Snack Options for Rapid Fat Loss

As a fitness expert people always ask me, “What snacks can I eat that will help me lose ‘this’?” When they say “this” they are pointing to some part of their body that has a bit too much fat for their liking.

Now I think some people are waiting for me to say, “Oh, don’t worry, you can eat cookies, chips and candy all you want. Everyone has been lying to you. They actually make you thinner!”

Seriously, people really do want me to tell them what they WANT to hear.

But, fortunately, some people are serious when they ask that question. They really do want to know some healthy snack options for rapid fat loss.

So here’s what I tell them:

Raw almonds, walnuts or pecans (Not the roasted variety. And don’t even think about the ones with sugar sprinkled on them!)

Fruit or veggies cut up into sticks (Stay away from dipping them into things you know you shouldn’t)

Hard boiled eggs

Low-fat cottage cheese

Hummus

Those are all great options. But if you really want to treat yourself you’ve gotta check out Prograde Cravers. You can find them here http://sandstonefitness.getprograde.com/cravers

They’re made with 100% organic dark chocolate. Plus, they’re only 180 calories and they’re out-of-this-world delicious.

Seriously, this isn’t your ordinary “tastes like chemicals or cardboard’ nutritional bar.

Definitely check them out.
