I came across this exceptional video by Dr. Mike Evans not long ago and it really made me think. More specifically it made me think of you.
Especially at this time of year when people are ramping up for their “New Year’s Resolutions” (which are absolutely ridiculous by the way, more on that tomorrow) this is something we need put into action.
This video makes a singular point. You have 24 hours each day with which you can do what you want. Sure, you gotta sleep, you gotta go to work or take care of the kids (or both) whatever. Lot’s of stuff I’m sure. But are you making the most of it? Read the full post ... (248 words, 1 image)

A very clever holiday poem by Mrs. Claus (my wife Denyse), all new for 2011.
Happy Holidays to all…
A Very ‘Carter Fitness’ Christmas
‘Twas the night before bootcamp when all through West Hills
Not a resident was seen taking fad diet pills
For there was a place that took care in the matter
Of turning “bowls full of jelly” into something much flatter
Away to Carter Fitness they clambered and fled
While visions of protein shakes danced in their heads
There Josh Carter stood in a red Santa cap
As he shouted to bootcampers, “Go take a long lap!” Read the full post ... (452 words, 1 image)

You’re going to want to give this to ALL of you’re fat friends… and your loved ones 
I hope you caught my post last week about how I don’t pull punches when consulting clients, that rewarding mediocrity is ludicrous and “trying” is for losers not to mention if you want hugs and cuddles I can give you directions to Curves (becasuse we don’t do that here).
If you liked that, then this is right up your alley. Read the full post ... (429 words, 2 images)

This post is a doozy. It chronicles my journey in realizing how rewarding mediocrity has ultimately led to one big giant FAIL and why I can no longer be a “nice” trainer (if I ever was.) It is a reality check for you, me and everyone who has a goal.
This post covers many years and a lot of ground. It’s about: my college English professor, Yoda, Chad Ochocinco, a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, tears, hugs and cuddles, directions to Curves, how I am possibly the biggest jerk in my own gym (and why that all equals fast and furious results for you.)

The Official 4th Annual Thanksgiving UN-Stuffing Workout – *FREE*
The great day of eating yourself sleepy, giving thanks for all our blessing is nearly upon us. If you recall, in years past I adopted a particular Thanksgiving eating strategy that I think I will make a tradition. (You can re-check out that article here: Happy Thanksgiving: “F” Moderation . )
So before you drown yourself in gravy, bury your self in mashed potatoes and pound down any pie I suggest you earn it. Yes, you must *EARN* that cheat. Read the full post ... (411 words, 2 images)

The other day I had the idea to do something kinda strange.
You see I help my clients burn fat all the time. Some of my clients have melted off 15-20 in the first month alone.
But none of them have actually SEEN what that fat REALLY looks like. So(with some effort) I managed to get my hands on 15 pounds of ACTUAL fat.
So I decided to do something to show you just what 15 pounds of fat really looks like and I think you’d be surprised at how much room 15 pounds of FAT actually takes up. (It took up most of my table that seats 6 people) Read the full post ... (149 words, 1 image)

After a few short months with Carter Fitness, Kellie’s clothes are now all falling off of her. It’s true.
I apologized to her profusely, but that is a KNOWN side effect of dropping 30 pounds in less than 3 months while following our fitness and fat loss program.
Watch the video below and meet Kellie, who went from “dragging” through her day and HIDING from cameras and to flaunting her new body and feeling more energetic and more confident with every passing moment. Read the full post ... (263 words)

Imagine this: 3 kids (2 of which are twins). Full time job. A husband with a addiction to Oreos (currently receiving treatment, our thoughts are with him). Add to that she is a picky eater. (Maybe you don’t have to imagine)
Does that sound familiar? How does she have time to do anything at all for herself let alone LOSE 4 INCHES FROM HER WAIST (in around 4 weeks.)
Meet Meryl- 44 year old (hot) mother of 3 who also works full time. Watch the video below to see how she managed to overcome some serious “I have no time” issues (again, sound familiar?) to go from looking “ok” to looking crazy good. Read the full post ... (225 words)

(In the final 10 seconds of this short video, you’ll see Donna in her new”skinny” bikini – you DON’T want to miss this.)
But first – Ladies, I’ve got three questions for you. Gents, you’ll totally get this, too
1) How would you react if someone asked you if you were PREGNANT…when you weren’t? (YIKES!)
2) How would it feel to get dressed every day with the sole purpose of "CAMOUFLAGING" your belly fat, love handles, and big butt…Instead of just getting dressed to simply look awesome? (because most of your clothes that are all two or three sizes too small? ) Read the full post ... (535 words)

I have to admit when I first met Donna I just knew it wouldn’t last. She came in to sign up for my 6 Week Body Transformation Program and I thought I‘d be lucky if she stuck around a week. Boy was I wrong.
A job, kids, a broken foot, turning 49, multiple medications, a trip to the ER- all just some of the obstacles she overcame to lose over 30 pounds (which is just *part* of her amazing transformation.)
Watch this video and meet Donna, who clearly proved me (and probably many others) wrong.
