Got a few more spots for my next 8 week online program starting on 9/13! If you've been struggling to lose weight or maintain weight loss, it's very likely that two things are happening.
1. You don't do progressive overload.
2. You have been under-fueling your body for many years.

Metabolic adaptation does not indicate a "broken" metabolism, it actually indicates a correctly functioning metabolism. Progressive overload and some time at maintenance can/will fix this.

Every single time you do a boot camp/crash/detox style diet and don't maintain that weight loss, you are setting yourself up to gain even more weight. There have been many studies which show this weight rebound effect due to a loss of lean mass in these overly intense weight loss efforts. As we move forward, this is going to be the exact same effect with GLP-1's. If you arent weight training on a GLP-1, you are very likely to regain all the weight + more when you come off.

If you have questions about this, comment or shoot me a message!

I also have small group openings at 445a and 6a!

Tire slams... one of the best combinations of core and cardio you can do. In addition to this, you'll also be working your upper body and proprioception. Get yourself a tire and a mace or sledgehammer and go to work! Incredibly cathartic, too. Maybe hit it a little bit harder on the days your job pi**es you off, your ex is being an a-hole or you can't seem to figure out why your smoke detectors like to go off at 2am for no reason.

Not teaching this Wednesday, but back with TWO classes next Sunday. The first will be on the Andover Green at 8:45a. Then, I'll head across the street to the studio for my regularly scheduled 10a hot power flow.
Hope to see you at one? Or.... BOTH!

Another nutrition certification. Never stop learning.
Just to confirm, based on the actual evidence and not propaganda, seed oils are safe (actually beneficial in many situations), food dyes are mostly safe (case by case reactions, so totally makes sense for some to avoid), beef tallow is ok in small doses (very high Saturated fat), eat your protein, get enough fiber (25+ grams from multiple food sources, 35+ grams for higher caloric intakes), no "good" or "bad" foods, Your metabolism isn't "broken-" you just suck at fueling it, your body needs carbs, proteins and fats, annnd unless you have diabetes stop wearing glucose monitors.

Also, many supplements are BS (so be sure to go through evidence based companies such as Legion https://legionathletics.rfrl.co/43r94 code: MikeCollins.

Oh, and lift heavy.

Upgrade your shoulders. These alternating outside mills are a great shoulder mobility and strengthening movement. Be sure to start light and build up. I'm using a 15lb in the video and often use a 20lb. I started learning it with 5lbs, though, and would recommend that for everyone! Looking to get started with the mace? My Patreon account is a quick and easy way to do so. I have entry level movements and the workouts can be done in less than 15 minutes if you want. All for only $15 a month, less than the money you spend for the gym you don't go to😅🤣 shoot me a message with any questions.

Entered a balance-focused class theme block last week and dove right into the deep end with this series. The jump switch is always optional, but encouraged.

Give it a try and tag me 💪🙏

I'm taking a nutrition course with Layne Norton, PhD and he's talking about weight regain following a deficit. The biggest loser study was discussed as well as the Minnesota starvation study (both should be reviewed by anyone looking to learn more about weight loss.) However, this study utilizing rats really hammers home what Ive seen from chronic yo-yo dieters. When you go all in on weight loss, you will lose weight, but you will likely gain it all back and likely even more. Then, it becomes harder and harder to lose due to all the lean muscle you drop during extreme dieting.

Progressive overload ain't sexy. You aren't going to wow people with your extreme transformation in a short time. BUT, you will have a much easier time keeping the weight off.

Stop wasting your time with these nonsense short-term crash diets and take steps to make lasting change.

Shoot me a message and we can talk about the programs I offer 💪💪
THIS is why you need to stop doing detoxes, boot camps, 75 hard, weight loss challenges etc and START creating a foundation through progressive overload training, maybe at Dysfunctional Training.
