I don’t know about you, but I have always admired a well-kept kitchen. It’s honestly one of the first things I want to see when I enter a new home. I guess I’m a weirdo.
Anyway, one of my life strategies is to stand on the shoulders of giants, and mimic those who have achieved success. My friend, Tom Venuto, is someone whom I admire and respect for his attention to detail and his principles such as lifestyle nutrition (I actually work with Tom everyday, with his website www.burnthefat.com). Just for fun, I want to share a video tour of Tom Venuto in his kitchen – he’s quite a character.
Just a personal note from me… whenever Tom speaks, I listen. His knowledge of nutrition, fat loss, and achieving the body of your dreams is broad and comprehensive. I’m not a bodybuilder, and never want to be, but I know that Tom Venuto has an amazing message even for health-first wellness warriors like you. Tom is truly a giant, not only because of his natural bodybuilder physique, but also his spirit and integrity. And for those of you who have been wondering… no, Tom is not an “alien life form” or a robot from NASA, the UN, or the future. Tom’s a real life guy.
My wife and I decided to document the steps it takes to prepare one of Tom Venuto’s famous “burn the fat,” fat loss recipes. Tom is famous for using fat burning foods in all of his meals, and he has created a collection of recipes that include only fat burning foods that are easy [...]
Description: This is a general physical preparedness (GPP) style program that can be used for a variety of goals including fat loss, building muscle, and building your overall work capacity (AKA “gas tank”). Please note that this is not a specific program for specific athletic goals, rather a generalized program for simple goals such as body composition changes. With every sample strength training program, please note that you have individual needs, that you are not a blank slate, that you have a lifetime of conditioning under your belt (whether you like your conditioning or not). You will need to supplement this program with training for your individual needs, and may need to substitute some of the exercises with others. Also recognize that not all goals can be achieved strictly through exercise – some require very specific lifestyle adjustments to be achieved. For instance, fat loss is dependent on the principle of energy balance, (and ensuring you are in a caloric deficit) as opposed to simply training harder or longer. In order for any strength training program to be effective, you must consider all of the variables needed to achieve your goals.
This program requires minimal equipment and can be performed at home or at the gym. There are three, full body strength training sessions per week, performed on non-consecutive days, for four weeks.
Sometimes, we just need a simple and quick strength training workout routine. That’s when bodyweight exercise programs come in. This circuit is guaranteed to give you both strength training and cardio benefits, while scorching your metabolism into fat burning mode. You’ll be huffing and puffing, but this one is over in just 15 minutes. [...]
If I could teach you one thing it is that you ARE strong and you DO know what is best for your health. This advice will echo throughout all of the Real World Strength Training themes, principles, and articles.
You have an amazing gift that you can use for any physical goal, be it strength training or not – intuition. Deep inside of yourself, you know what is best for your health – you have an internal awareness that provides direction. While many trainers and coaches will belittle you by saying that their workout routines are over-your-head, that you need professional help (or a “specialist”), or that you’re not capable of taking care of your health – they couldn’t be further from the truth. One of the best things you can do to immediately jump-start your progress in your exercise program is to listen to that inner voice – your “physical conscience,” if you will. This will provide more direction for your training than any workout routine, exercise program, or even a professional trainer.
