Progressive Overload Explained for BeginnersWhy Getting Stronger Is the Secret to Building Muscle and Transforming Your BodyHave you ever heard the legend of Milo and the Bull?The story says that when Milo was a young man, he began carrying a small calf on his shoulders every day. As the calf grew bigger and heavier, Milo continued carrying it. Little by little, his body adapted to the increasing weight until one day he was strong enough to carry a full-grown bull.Whether the story is completely true or not doesn't really matter. What matters is the lesson behind it.That is progressive overload.You start with a weight your body can handle, and as your body adapts, you gradually challenge it with a little more resistance. Over time, you become stronger.If  you want to continue reading the article, go to the following link: https://custombodyfitnessgws.com/post/Visit our website:https://custombodyfitnessgws.com/blogVisit our Google Sites:https://custom-body-fitness-llc.business.site/https://custombodyfitnessgws.business.site/https://custom-body-fitness-willits.business.site/Follows on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/cbf.english Follow our Podcast at Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/1tmitF21ovjEOo2tEdVk7A?si=294de20720134c6aApple Podcast:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/weight-loss-and-body-toning/id1608754655Subscribe to our YouTube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_2yHcXF8Ie-f2qmZCuwEgw

Beginner's Guide to Strength TrainingIf you are reading this article, I am assuming you are ready to transform your body. You have already gone through the first two stages of behavior change—precontemplation and contemplation—and now you have reached the third stage: preparation.Preparation is a great place to be.You are learning. You are open to new ideas. You are gathering information, and you are getting ready to take action, which is the fourth stage of change.However, you are also in a vulnerable stage. If you receive poor advice or follow the wrong program, you could become discouraged and fall back into contemplation or even give up altogether.That is why it is so important to learn from reliable sources and follow a plan that has already helped other people succeed.Whether you decide to do it on your own or hire a personal trainer near me, having the right information from the beginning will save you time, frustration, and unnecessary mistakes.Here is the guideline I recommend for anyone beginning a strength training journey.If  you want to continue reading the article, go to the following link: https://custombodyfitnessgws.com/post/Visit our website:https://custombodyfitnessgws.com/blogVisit our Google Sites:https://custom-body-fitness-llc.business.site/https://custombodyfitnessgws.business.site/https://custom-body-fitness-willits.business.site/Follows on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/cbf.english Follow our Podcast at Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/1tmitF21ovjEOo2tEdVk7A?si=294de20720134c6aApple Podcast:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/weight-loss-and-body-toning/id1608754655Subscribe to our YouTube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_2yHcXF8Ie-f2qmZCuwEgw

How to Build Lean Muscle with a Personal TrainerI still remember when I started exercising. I was a skinny 19-year-old who weighed only 130 pounds at 5'7". At that point, I wasn't really motivated to transform my body when I met my mentor, Dave.Dave was a bodybuilder, and to me he stood apart from everyone else. He had the physique I wanted, the confidence I admired, and the discipline I didn't yet understand.I asked Dave to train me and he agreed. I told him, "I'll look like you in less than three months." He laughed.Three months later, I knew exactly why. I trained as hard as I could during those first three months, yet I saw very little change. I was frustrated because I thought hard work alone would build muscle quickly.If  you want to continue reading the article, go to the following link: https://custombodyfitnessgws.com/post/Visit our website:https://custombodyfitnessgws.com/blogVisit our Google Sites:https://custom-body-fitness-llc.business.site/https://custombodyfitnessgws.business.site/https://custom-body-fitness-willits.business.site/Follows on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/cbf.english Follow our Podcast at Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/1tmitF21ovjEOo2tEdVk7A?si=294de20720134c6aApple Podcast:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/weight-loss-and-body-toning/id1608754655Subscribe to our YouTube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_2yHcXF8Ie-f2qmZCuwEgw

Can a Personal Trainer Help After 40?Most of our regular members are over 40 years of age. Every member had a different reason to join us.For example, one of our members joined us at 42 years old because her cousin died of cancer. That tragedy made her realize how important a healthy lifestyle is.We have another member who joined us at 67 years old because he was tired of trying to tone his body on his own without seeing real results.Another member over 40 wanted to tone her body and knew we were the right team to help her achieve that goal.Another member came to us after a divorce. He noticed he was losing muscle mass and felt that he was getting old. He wanted to become stronger, build muscle, and remain physically independent.I could write a whole book about our members and the reasons they joined us.But I don't need to.If  you want to continue reading the article, go to the following link: https://custombodyfitnessgws.com/post/Visit our website:https://custombodyfitnessgws.com/blogVisit our Google Sites:https://custom-body-fitness-llc.business.site/https://custombodyfitnessgws.business.site/https://custom-body-fitness-willits.business.site/Follows on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/cbf.english Follow our Podcast at Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/1tmitF21ovjEOo2tEdVk7A?si=294de20720134c6aApple Podcast:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/weight-loss-and-body-toning/id1608754655Subscribe to our YouTube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_2yHcXF8Ie-f2qmZCuwEgw

Seed Oils, Cleanses, and How to Lose Weight Easier and Faster with Cherie CalbomI already knew how important food is for weight loss and overall health. However, I was not fully aware of how much the type of fats and oils we consume can influence our health and well-being.Of course, I knew that olive oil is one of the healthiest oils you can consume. But I did not know there are many other oils and healthy fats that people use every day to support their health.I also knew that many people use cleanses as part of their wellness routine. However, I had never thought deeply about how taking care of the liver and supporting the body's natural detoxification systems could affect overall health.I was blown away by my interview with Cherie Calbom.Cherie developed fibromyalgia and suffered from chronic fatigue, musculoskeletal pain, and other symptoms that doctors struggled to help her with. Instead of giving up, she started learning everything she could about nutrition and health. She concluded that her diet was contributing to her diagnosis, so she eliminated many processed foods and began focusing on vegetables, fresh juices, and whole foods.If  you want to continue reading the article, go to the following link: https://custombodyfitnessgws.com/post/Visit our website:https://custombodyfitnessgws.com/blogVisit our Google Sites:https://custom-body-fitness-llc.business.site/https://custombodyfitnessgws.business.site/https://custom-body-fitness-willits.business.site/Follows on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/cbf.english Follow our Podcast at Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/1tmitF21ovjEOo2tEdVk7A?si=294de20720134c6aApple Podcast:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/weight-loss-and-body-toning/id1608754655Subscribe to our YouTube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_2yHcXF8Ie-f2qmZCuwEgw

It is never too late to improve your health, lose weight, gain strength, and transform your body.One of the best examples is Frank.If  you want to continue reading the article, go to the following link: https://custombodyfitnessgws.com/post/Visit our website:https://custombodyfitnessgws.com/blogVisit our Google Sites:https://custom-body-fitness-llc.business.site/https://custombodyfitnessgws.business.site/https://custom-body-fitness-willits.business.site/Follows on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/cbf.english Follow our Podcast at Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/1tmitF21ovjEOo2tEdVk7A?si=294de20720134c6aApple Podcast:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/weight-loss-and-body-toning/id1608754655Subscribe to our YouTube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_2yHcXF8Ie-f2qmZCuwEgw

What I Learned About Weight Loss and Health From Zuzu Karen Ziemer ArmesAfter more than 15 years of helping people lose weight, tone their bodies, and transform their lives, I have learned something very important: people do not change because they receive information. People change because they find a reason powerful enough to take action.At Custom Body Fitness, I have found that once people discover why they want to transform their bodies and become fully committed to that goal, the rest becomes much easier. They begin changing their eating habits, improving their mindset, exercising consistently, and addressing the lifestyle factors that may be holding them back.Even though I have helped many people achieve incredible transformations, I never stop learning. I am always looking for new information and ideas that align with the values we teach at Custom Body Fitness.You can follow Karen here:Website: https://zuzuunleashed.comLilly Fields Retreat Center: https://lillyfieldscenter.comHolistic Health Educators: https://holistichealtheducators.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/zuzuunleashedInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/zuzuunleashedIf  you want to continue reading the article, go to the following link: https://custombodyfitnessgws.com/post/Visit our website:https://custombodyfitnessgws.com/blogVisit our Google Sites:https://custom-body-fitness-llc.business.site/https://custombodyfitnessgws.business.site/https://custom-body-fitness-willits.business.site/Follows on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/cbf.english Follow our Podcast at Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/1tmitF21ovjEOo2tEdVk7A?si=294de20720134c6aApple Podcast:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/weight-loss-and-body-toning/id1608754655Subscribe to our YouTube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_2yHcXF8Ie-f2qmZCuwEgw

Personal Trainer for Women Over 40: Why It MattersWhy do you care about starting to exercise? Do you really think exercise can change your life? Would the benefits outweigh the difficulty of the routine?Let’s be clear from the beginning. You are probably reading this article because something sparked your interest to finally start exercising. And the truth is this: it is never too late to start. The sooner you begin, the sooner you start enjoying the benefits and seeing results.Maybe you exercised years ago, got in shape, and then lost consistency. Maybe you have never exercised before and now after 40 you see other women transforming their bodies and wonder if you can do the same. Or maybe your body is changing in ways you did not expect, and you are hoping exercise can help you feel stronger, healthier, and more confident again.Whatever your story is, you are making a good decision.If  you want to continue reading the article, go to the following link: https://custombodyfitnessgws.com/post/Visit our website:https://custombodyfitnessgws.com/blogVisit our Google Sites:https://custom-body-fitness-llc.business.site/https://custombodyfitnessgws.business.site/https://custom-body-fitness-willits.business.site/Follows on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/cbf.english Follow our Podcast at Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/1tmitF21ovjEOo2tEdVk7A?si=294de20720134c6aApple Podcast:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/weight-loss-and-body-toning/id1608754655Subscribe to our YouTube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_2yHcXF8Ie-f2qmZCuwEgw

What is really your goal?Do you simply want to lose weight, or do you want to improve your appearance, your health, and the way you feel?Many people say they want to lose weight, but what they really want is to lose fat, tone their body, look healthier, and feel more confident.I have had many clients become frustrated after months of hard work because the scale did not move the way they expected. They focused so much on the number that they completely ignored the real transformation happening in their body.I remember one member who worked extremely hard for two months. She exercised consistently, followed her eating plan, and stayed disciplined.When she stepped on the scale, it said she only lost 3 pounds. She started at 153 pounds and after two months weighed 150 pounds.She felt disappointed.However, when I reviewed her body composition assessment, the results told a completely different story. She had actually lost 8 pounds of fat and gained 5 pounds of muscle.If  you want to continue reading the article, go to the following link: https://custombodyfitnessgws.com/post/Visit our website:https://custombodyfitnessgws.com/blogVisit our Google Sites:https://custom-body-fitness-llc.business.site/https://custombodyfitnessgws.business.site/https://custom-body-fitness-willits.business.site/Follows on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/cbf.english Follow our Podcast at Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/1tmitF21ovjEOo2tEdVk7A?si=294de20720134c6aApple Podcast:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/weight-loss-and-body-toning/id1608754655Subscribe to our YouTube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_2yHcXF8Ie-f2qmZCuwEgw

How to Break a Weight Loss PlateauI have seen many of our members hit a plateau after losing a significant amount of weight. The truth is, when someone reaches a real plateau, the best action is often to continue the habits that helped them lose weight in the first place. As you get closer to your goal, fat loss naturally slows down. Losing the same amount of weight becomes harder, especially when you are trying to build muscle or reach lower body fat levels—like under 20% for women.This is where patience, discipline, and consistency become critical.However, not every plateau is just part of the process. Sometimes, there are underlying issues that need to be addressed.One of the most common problems is thinking you are eating healthy when you are not.

You want to transform your body? You want to lose weight? You want to tone your body?Then let’s be clear about something first. I’ve said it many times, and I’ll keep saying it because it matters: If you don’t fix your eating habits, nothing else will work. You can do all the workouts you want… But without proper nutrition, your body won’t transform. Yes, I sound repetitive. But that’s because this is where most people fail.If  you want to continue reading the article, go to the following link: https://custombodyfitnessgws.com/post/Visit our website:https://custombodyfitnessgws.com/blogVisit our Google Sites:https://custom-body-fitness-llc.business.site/https://custombodyfitnessgws.business.site/https://custom-body-fitness-willits.business.site/Follows on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/cbf.english Follow our Podcast at Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/1tmitF21ovjEOo2tEdVk7A?si=294de20720134c6aApple Podcast:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/weight-loss-and-body-toning/id1608754655Subscribe to our YouTube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_2yHcXF8Ie-f2qmZCuwEgw

Best Workout Plan for Fat Loss (Trainer Approved)Let’s make this simple. If you want to lose weight and keep it off, your eating habits come first.Not your workouts.Not supplements.Not trends.Your nutrition. I’ve seen it over and over again—people working out hard, sweating every day, doing everything they think is right… and still not losing weight.Why? Because no workout plan can outperform a poor diet.If  you want to continue reading the article, go to the following link: https://custombodyfitnessgws.com/post/Visit our website:https://custombodyfitnessgws.com/blogVisit our Google Sites:https://custom-body-fitness-llc.business.site/https://custombodyfitnessgws.business.site/https://custom-body-fitness-willits.business.site/Follows on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/cbf.english Follow our Podcast at Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/1tmitF21ovjEOo2tEdVk7A?si=294de20720134c6aApple Podcast:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/weight-loss-and-body-toning/id1608754655Subscribe to our YouTube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_2yHcXF8Ie-f2qmZCuwEgw

Why Hiring a Personal Trainer Helps You Lose Weight FasterI remember when I started learning how to drive. Back then, driving a stick shift was very common. I was so curious and excited that I would sit in the passenger seat and watch every move my friends made, trying to understand everything.“What is that pedal for?” “Why do you shift now?” “Why does the engine sound like that?” “Why do you press both pedals at the same time?”I wanted to understand it all.The problem? I didn’t have a car.So I had to rely on my friends to teach me. I kept asking, observing, and insisting until a few of them finally gave in and let me practice.They taught me:How to use the clutchWhen to shift gearsHow to brake properlyHow to stay aware of my surroundingsHow to control the carIf  you want to continue reading the article, go to the following link: https://custombodyfitnessgws.com/post/Visit our website:https://custombodyfitnessgws.com/blogVisit our Google Sites:https://custom-body-fitness-llc.business.site/https://custombodyfitnessgws.business.site/https://custom-body-fitness-willits.business.site/Follows on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/cbf.english Follow our Podcast at Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/1tmitF21ovjEOo2tEdVk7A?si=294de20720134c6aApple Podcast:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/weight-loss-and-body-toning/id1608754655Subscribe to our YouTube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_2yHcXF8Ie-f2qmZCuwEgw

Not just for a few weeks, not just for a quick result, but for life and deep down, you already know something most people don’t.

Small Group Training vs. 1-on-1 Personal Training: Which Is Better?If you are considering hiring a personal trainer, you may be deciding between 1-on-1 personal training and small group training. Both options can deliver results—but they do so in different ways.Let’s simplify this with a real-life analogy.Imagine you love a high-quality restaurant because you trust the ingredients and the chef’s expertise.Now imagine hiring that chef to cook privately in your home every day.The Chef Analogy: Private Service vs. Shared ExperienceIf  you want to continue reading the article, go to the following link: https://custombodyfitnessgws.com/post/Visit our website:https://custombodyfitnessgws.com/blogVisit our Google Sites:https://custom-body-fitness-llc.business.site/https://custombodyfitnessgws.business.site/https://custom-body-fitness-willits.business.site/Follows on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/cbf.english Follow our Podcast at Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/1tmitF21ovjEOo2tEdVk7A?si=294de20720134c6aApple Podcast:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/weight-loss-and-body-toning/id1608754655Subscribe to our YouTube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_2yHcXF8Ie-f2qmZCuwEgw

If you are searching for a personal trainer near me, you may feel overwhelmed by the number of options available. Choosing the right professional can make the difference between achieving real results or feeling frustrated after months of effort.Hiring a personal trainer is similar to buying a car. To find the right vehicle, you ask questions such as:What can I afford?What type of car fits my lifestyle?Will it be used for travel or daily commuting?Is it high maintenance or low maintenance?Is it for personal use or family needs?By asking the right questions, you narrow your choices and make a smarter decision. The same principle applies when hiring a personal trainer.If  you want to continue reading the article, go to the following link: https://custombodyfitnessgws.com/post/Visit our website:https://custombodyfitnessgws.com/blogVisit our Google Sites:https://custom-body-fitness-llc.business.site/https://custombodyfitnessgws.business.site/https://custom-body-fitness-willits.business.site/Follows on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/cbf.english Follow our Podcast at Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/1tmitF21ovjEOo2tEdVk7A?si=294de20720134c6aApple Podcast:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/weight-loss-and-body-toning/id1608754655Subscribe to our YouTube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_2yHcXF8Ie-f2qmZCuwEgw

Many people searching online for a personal trainer near me want a quick answer about cost. While pricing matters, what truly matters is what you are paying for when you hire a personal trainer.Think about it this way: you would not expect to pay the same price for a basic car with minimal features as you would for a luxury car with advanced technology and premium performance.The same concept applies when hiring a personal trainer. The cost reflects the level of service, expertise, and results you receive.If  you want to continue reading the article, go to the following link: https://custombodyfitnessgws.com/post/Visit our website:https://custombodyfitnessgws.com/blogVisit our Google Sites:https://custom-body-fitness-llc.business.site/https://custombodyfitnessgws.business.site/https://custom-body-fitness-willits.business.site/Follows on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/cbf.english Follow our Podcast at Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/1tmitF21ovjEOo2tEdVk7A?si=294de20720134c6aApple Podcast:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/weight-loss-and-body-toning/id1608754655Subscribe to our YouTube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_2yHcXF8Ie-f2qmZCuwEgw

How to Choose the Best Personal Trainer Near MeWhen you search for a personal trainer near me, you will quickly realize you have many options. However, choosing a personal trainer is not a casual decision. It is similar to choosing your doctor, financial advisor, or real estate broker — you want the best professional available, someone who shares your values and consistently delivers measurable results.A personal trainer is not just someone who counts reps. A qualified personal trainer becomes your coach, accountability partner, strategist, and long-term health guide.

I recently had the honor of interviewing Alex Jamal, a Certified Nutritionist, Personal Trainer, and Champion Bodybuilder with over 20 years of experience helping people transform their bodies.As you know, here at Custom Body Fitness we believe in learning from other professionals who truly understand transformation — not just physically, but mentally and emotionally. Alex has helped hundreds of people achieve real, lasting results, and I wanted to understand how he does it.What interested me most was not just his knowledge, but his story.I always try to understand the emotional side of successful people. The struggles they faced often explain why they became such strong leaders.If  you want to continue reading the article, go to the following link:www.brainzmagazine.com/post/the-visionary-behind-fitness-results-coach-exclusive-interview-with-alex-jamalhttps://www.instagram.com/thetraineralexhttp://fitnessresultscoach.comhttps://www.facebook.com/aboudi.j.eddine/ https://custombodyfitnessgws.com/post/Visit our website:https://custombodyfitnessgws.com/blogVisit our Google Sites:https://custom-body-fitness-llc.business.site/https://custombodyfitnessgws.business.site/https://custom-body-fitness-willits.business.site/Follows on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/cbf.english Follow our Podcast at Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/1tmitF21ovjEOo2tEdVk7A?si=294de20720134c6aApple Podcast:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/weight-loss-and-body-toning/id1608754655Subscribe to our YouTube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_2yHcXF8Ie-f2qmZCuwEgw

Where Do I Even Start? How to Begin Your Body Transformation JourneyGetting started on a fitness or body-transformation journey can feel overwhelming. The real first step is not the gym, the diet, or the workout program — it is understanding what you truly want and why you want it. Once your purpose is clear, you can begin taking imperfect action or seek guidance from someone who has already achieved the results you want.If  you want to continue reading the article, go to the following link: https://custombodyfitnessgws.com/post/Visit our website:https://custombodyfitnessgws.com/blogVisit our Google Sites:https://custom-body-fitness-llc.business.site/https://custombodyfitnessgws.business.site/https://custom-body-fitness-willits.business.site/Follows on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/cbf.english Follow our Podcast at Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/1tmitF21ovjEOo2tEdVk7A?si=294de20720134c6aApple Podcast:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/weight-loss-and-body-toning/id1608754655Subscribe to our YouTube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_2yHcXF8Ie-f2qmZCuwEgw

Can I Drink Alcohol and Still Lose Weight?When I first started lifting weights, I didn’t want to give up alcohol. I wanted to get in shape and keep drinking. So I asked my mentor a very honest question:“Can I drink alcohol and still lose fat and gain muscle?”He looked at me and asked, “How much do you drink?”“About 10 drinks over the weekend,” I answered.He said, “If you drink, 9 is better than 10. If you drink 8, it’s better than 9. If you drink 7, it’s better than 8. You get the point, right?”If  you want to continue reading the article, go to the following link: https://custombodyfitnessgws.com/post/Visit our website:https://custombodyfitnessgws.com/blogVisit our Google Sites:https://custom-body-fitness-llc.business.site/https://custombodyfitnessgws.business.site/https://custom-body-fitness-willits.business.site/Follows on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/cbf.english Follow our Podcast at Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/1tmitF21ovjEOo2tEdVk7A?si=294de20720134c6aApple Podcast:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/weight-loss-and-body-toning/id1608754655Subscribe to our YouTube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_2yHcXF8Ie-f2qmZCuwEgw

Weights or cardio — which is better? 👉 Neither. They do different jobs.Cardio helps burn fat and improves heart health. Weights build muscle and raise metabolism.If you want to lose fat, tone your body, and stay fit long-term — you need both, plus a healthy diet.That’s how real results happen. #CustomBodyFitnessIf  you want to continue reading the article, go to the following link: https://custombodyfitnessgws.com/post/Visit our website:https://custombodyfitnessgws.com/blogVisit our Google Sites:https://custom-body-fitness-llc.business.site/https://custombodyfitnessgws.business.site/https://custom-body-fitness-willits.business.site/Follows on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/cbf.english Follow our Podcast at Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/1tmitF21ovjEOo2tEdVk7A?si=294de20720134c6aApple Podcast:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/weight-loss-and-body-toning/id1608754655Subscribe to our YouTube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_2yHcXF8Ie-f2qmZCuwEgw

This is one of the most common questions our members ask when we set new goals together: “How many times should I work out to see real results?”Research shows that at least 2 days of strength training combined with 2 days of cardiovascular exercise can significantly improve both your musculoskeletal and cardiovascular health.But here at Custom Body Fitness, we specialize in body toning, fat loss, and sustainable transformation, so the real answer depends on your goals, your schedule, and the type of program you followIf  you want to continue reading the article, go to the following link: https://custombodyfitnessgws.com/post/Visit our website:https://custombodyfitnessgws.com/blogVisit our Google Sites:https://custom-body-fitness-llc.business.site/https://custombodyfitnessgws.business.site/https://custom-body-fitness-willits.business.site/Follows on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/cbf.english Follow our Podcast at Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/1tmitF21ovjEOo2tEdVk7A?si=294de20720134c6aApple Podcast:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/weight-loss-and-body-toning/id1608754655Subscribe to our YouTube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_2yHcXF8Ie-f2qmZCuwEgw

Most people step on the scale expecting it to tell the whole truth about their fitness progress. But if your real goal is to tone your body, gain muscle, lose fat, and look strong and attractive, the scale becomes one of the most misleading tools you can rely on.I see this all the time at Custom Body Fitness. A member follows the program, lifts weights, eats healthy, feels stronger, then steps on the scale and panics because the number went up. But here’s the truth most people don’t understand:Muscle weighs something. Fat weighs something. And the scale cannot tell the difference.If  you want to continue reading the article, go to the following link: https://custombodyfitnessgws.com/post/Visit our website:https://custombodyfitnessgws.com/blogVisit our Google Sites:https://custom-body-fitness-llc.business.site/https://custombodyfitnessgws.business.site/https://custom-body-fitness-willits.business.site/Follows on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/cbf.english Follow our Podcast at Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/1tmitF21ovjEOo2tEdVk7A?si=294de20720134c6aApple Podcast:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/weight-loss-and-body-toning/id1608754655Subscribe to our YouTube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_2yHcXF8Ie-f2qmZCuwEgw

How Do I Tighten Loose Skin? The Truth Most People Don’t Want to HearWhen people come to Custom Body Fitness in Glenwood Springs for their first evaluation, one of the most common things they show me is what they call their “loose skin.” They grab their belly, shake it a little, and say, “Look, this is all loose skin… how do I tighten it?”But the truth is this: what they’re showing me is not loose skin. It’s still fat.I prove it by pulling the skin on top of my hand. That is loose skin. What most people have on their stomach is fat sitting right under the skin — soft, jiggly, stubborn fat that hasn’t been burned yet.And it’s not their fault for being confused.If  you want to continue reading the article, go to the following link: https://custombodyfitnessgws.com/post/Visit our website:https://custombodyfitnessgws.com/blogVisit our Google Sites:https://custom-body-fitness-llc.business.site/https://custombodyfitnessgws.business.site/https://custom-body-fitness-willits.business.site/Follows on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/cbf.english Follow our Podcast at Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/1tmitF21ovjEOo2tEdVk7A?si=294de20720134c6aApple Podcast:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/weight-loss-and-body-toning/id1608754655Subscribe to our YouTube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_2yHcXF8Ie-f2qmZCuwEgw

Should I Do Intermittent Fasting, Keto, Low Carb, or Vegan to Lose Weight?I hear this question every week at Custom Body Fitness:“Sandro, should I try intermittent fasting? Keto? Low carb? Vegan? Which one will help me lose weight faster?”And I get it. When you’re struggling to lose weight, it’s tempting to think that the right diet is the magic key.

Do I Need Supplements to Lose Weight?The Truth the Fitness Industry Doesn’t Want You to KnowWhen I first started working out, I thought supplements were the secret to getting fit. My coach — a bodybuilder — told me to drink protein shakes twice a day. He did it, so I did it too. Sometimes I even had three.Everyone at the gym swore by their powders, pills, and shakes. It seemed like every serious lifter carried a shaker bottle and believed supplements were the key to building muscle and burning fat.So, I followed the crowd.If  you want to continue reading the article, go to the following link: https://custombodyfitnessgws.com/post/Things-You-Should-Know-If-Your-Goal-Is-to-Tone-Your-Body-and-Gain-MuscleVisit our website:https://custombodyfitnessgws.com/blogVisit our Google Sites:https://custom-body-fitness-llc.business.site/https://custombodyfitnessgws.business.site/https://custom-body-fitness-willits.business.site/Follows on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/cbf.english Follow our Podcast at Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/1tmitF21ovjEOo2tEdVk7A?si=294de20720134c6aApple Podcast:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/weight-loss-and-body-toning/id1608754655Subscribe to our YouTube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_2yHcXF8Ie-f2qmZCuwEgw

The Myth That You Must Eat Only Chicken, Rice, and LettuceI remember one of our members, Ana, who came in convinced she’d have to live on boiled los nuebos miedoschicken and lettuce to tone her body. She was already preparing herself for a lifetime of bland meals. But after a few weeks, she realized something surprising — she could still eat her tacos and enjoy family dinners and lose weight. So where did this myth come from?It often starts with the bodybuilding world, where competitors follow extreme, short-term diets before stepping on stage. Those diets are designed for competition week — not real life. Once the event is over, many of them gain the weight back because that kind of eating is not sustainable and, honestly, not very healthy.Yet, this “eat like a bodybuilder” approach became the blueprint for anyone wanting to tone up and that’s how millions of people ended up believing that restriction equals results.If  you want to continue reading the article, go to the following link: https://custombodyfitnessgws.com/post/Visit our website:https://custombodyfitnessgws.com/blogVisit our Google Sites:https://custom-body-fitness-llc.business.site/https://custombodyfitnessgws.business.site/https://custom-body-fitness-willits.business.site/Follows on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/cbf.english Follow our Podcast at Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/1tmitF21ovjEOo2tEdVk7A?si=294de20720134c6aApple Podcast:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/weight-loss-and-body-toning/id1608754655Subscribe to our YouTube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_2yHcXF8Ie-f2qmZCuwEgw

The First Time I Walked Into a GymI still remember when a friend invited me to lift weights for the first time. I was 18 — curious but unimpressed. The gym didn’t spark anything inside me back then.A year later, while working as an arborist, everything changed. My boss was strong, lean, and confident — the kind of man who stood out. Watching him carry heavy blocks with ease, I couldn’t help but think, I want to be like him.When I asked if his body came from our hard work, he smiled and said, “No, I built this at the gym.” That same day, he invited me to join him.If  you want to continue reading the article, go to the following link: https://custombodyfitnessgws.com/post/Things-You-Should-Know-If-Your-Goal-Is-to-Tone-Your-Body-and-Gain-MuscleVisit our website:https://custombodyfitnessgws.com/blogVisit our Google Sites:https://custom-body-fitness-llc.business.site/https://custombodyfitnessgws.business.site/https://custom-body-fitness-willits.business.site/Follows on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/cbf.english Follow our Podcast at Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/1tmitF21ovjEOo2tEdVk7A?si=294de20720134c6aApple Podcast:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/weight-loss-and-body-toning/id1608754655Subscribe to our YouTube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_2yHcXF8Ie-f2qmZCuwEgw

Loving yourself means accepting yourself and improving yourself.Just like I accept my wife, my daughter, and my dogs as they are, but still want the best for them, you can accept who you are while also striving to grow, strengthen, and care for your body.So don’t hide behind the phrase “I love myself the way I am” if your habits are harming you. And don’t go to the other extreme of rejecting yourself and pushing your body beyond healthy limits.Real self-love is balance.It’s acceptance and improvement working together. It’s the choice to care for your body, mind, and spirit—because you truly love yourself.If  you want to continue reading the article, go to the following link: https://custombodyfitnessgws.com/post/Things-You-Should-Know-If-Your-Goal-Is-to-Tone-Your-Body-and-Gain-MuscleVisit our website:https://custombodyfitnessgws.com/blogVisit our Google Sites:https://custom-body-fitness-llc.business.site/https://custombodyfitnessgws.business.site/https://custom-body-fitness-willits.business.site/Follows on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/cbf.english Follow our Podcast at Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/1tmitF21ovjEOo2tEdVk7A?si=294de20720134c6aApple Podcast:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/weight-loss-and-body-toning/id1608754655Subscribe to our YouTube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_2yHcXF8Ie-f2qmZCuwEgw

How Long Does It Take to See Real Weight Loss and Body Transformation Results?One of the most common questions I get from people before they start our program is:The answer is: it depends on your starting point, your goals, and—most importantly—your consistency. But here’s a realistic timeline you can expect if you follow a well-designed weight loss and strength training program.If you are just starting out, you’ll usually notice results in the first 30 days. For example, if you weigh 210 lbs at 5'7" and want to lose 10 lbs, you may lose that weight in just one month with proper nutrition and exercise. But if you weigh 160 lbs at 5'7", losing those same 10 lbs may take closer to 3–4 months. That’s because the closer you are to your ideal weight, the harder it becomes to shed those last few pounds.In the beginning, weight comes off faster. But don’t focus only on the scale—there’s more to transformation than pounds lost.How long until I see results?The First Month: Quick WinsIf  you want to continue reading the article, go to the following link: https://custombodyfitnessgws.com/post/Visit our website:https://custombodyfitnessgws.com/blogVisit our Google Sites:https://custom-body-fitness-llc.business.site/https://custombodyfitnessgws.business.site/https://custom-body-fitness-willits.business.site/Follows on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/cbf.english Follow our Podcast at Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/1tmitF21ovjEOo2tEdVk7A?si=294de20720134c6aApple Podcast:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/weight-loss-and-body-toning/id1608754655Subscribe to our YouTube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_2yHcXF8Ie-f2qmZCuwEgw

Kris Murray first joined us in 2019. For over a year, we worked together and helped her drop a few percentage points of body fat. But despite the progress, we weren’t able to get her to her desired goal back then.After trying other trainers and different programs, Kris returned to us in 2024. And this time—she was a completely different person.From the moment she walked in, I could tell something had changed. Kris was smiling, positive, and full of energy. I asked her what was different, and she told me about a spiritual retreat she had attended. There, she learned to love herself, challenge her limiting beliefs, and open her mind to real transformation.It showed.This time around, Kris embraced the habits and practices she had once resisted. She tried new nutrition strategies, changed her drinking habits, lifted heavier weights, and approached her sessions with joy and determination. She wasn’t just exercising—she was fully committed.If  you want to continue reading the article, go to the following link: https://custombodyfitnessgws.com/post/Things-You-Should-Know-If-Your-Goal-Is-to-Tone-Your-Body-and-Gain-MuscleVisit our website:https://custombodyfitnessgws.com/blogVisit our Google Sites:https://custom-body-fitness-llc.business.site/https://custombodyfitnessgws.business.site/https://custom-body-fitness-willits.business.site/Follows on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/cbf.english Follow our Podcast at Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/1tmitF21ovjEOo2tEdVk7A?si=294de20720134c6aApple Podcast:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/weight-loss-and-body-toning/id1608754655Subscribe to our YouTube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_2yHcXF8Ie-f2qmZCuwEgw

Many people wonder what is the best workout for fat loss. It makes sense to ask that question if your goal is to lose fat. Anytime I want to improve my life in any area, I would like to know the fastest route to achieve my goal. And if my goal is to lose fat, why waste time on exercises that won’t help me lose fat? I would like to concentrate all my focus on those exercises that will yield the best results on fat loss. Here I am going to explain the best exercise for weight loss and why. It is important to know how the body works when you are exercising, so you fully understand how to make your fat loss program more efficient. The body uses three energy systems, phosphagen, glycolytic and oxidative systems. Depending on the exercise you do, the body will choose what system to use and what energy should be burned according to the system.

Not everyone has the privilege of living above 100 years of age. But not only that, many people don’t have the privilege to be healthier at an earlier age. Who wants to live a miserable life for up to 100 years? If you ask me that question, if I am miserable and suffering, I prefer to die at an early age. However, if I am full of life, healthy and happy, my goal is to continue enjoying this life. A couple of things that motivates me to live is my family, helping other people, fulfilling my purpose, helping dogs, and seeing how much I can do or accomplish before I die. But once again, I don’t want to be sick, angry and without a purpose and alone. Life is to enjoy it and not to be suffering.The quality of life matters when you get olderIf your goal is to live a healthier, happier and longer life, here are 6 tips you must put into practice.If  you want to continue reading the article, go to the following link: https://custombodyfitnessgws.com/post/Things-You-Should-Know-If-Your-Goal-Is-to-Tone-Your-Body-and-Gain-MuscleVisit our website:https://custombodyfitnessgws.com/blogVisit our Google Sites:https://custom-body-fitness-llc.business.site/https://custombodyfitnessgws.business.site/https://custom-body-fitness-willits.business.site/Follows on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/cbf.english Follow our Podcast at Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/1tmitF21ovjEOo2tEdVk7A?si=294de20720134c6aApple Podcast:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/weight-loss-and-body-toning/id1608754655Subscribe to our YouTube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_2yHcXF8Ie-f2qmZCuwEgw

How Many Calories Should I Eat Per Day?I am going to be honest with you. I never count my calories and I am at 11% body fat and have been in there since I remember. My wife also does not count her calories and she is at 18% body fat and has been there for at least two years now. Also, I don’t teach our members at Custom Body Fitness to count calories to lose weight and here is why:According to research you need between 1,500 and 2,000 calories a day for you to survive and stay healthy. However, this is not applicable to everyone. Even if you use the calculator to enter your weight and the calories you need, there is no accuracy in such an equation. There are many reasons that you should take into consideration before thinking about counting your calories and I am going to talk about three of them here. All calories are not the same.If  you want to continue reading the article, go to the following link: https://custombodyfitnessgws.com/post/Things-You-Should-Know-If-Your-Goal-Is-to-Tone-Your-Body-and-Gain-MuscleVisit our website:https://custombodyfitnessgws.com/blogVisit our Google Sites:https://custom-body-fitness-llc.business.site/https://custombodyfitnessgws.business.site/https://custom-body-fitness-willits.business.site/Follows on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/cbf.english Follow our Podcast at Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/1tmitF21ovjEOo2tEdVk7A?si=294de20720134c6aApple Podcast:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/weight-loss-and-body-toning/id1608754655Subscribe to our YouTube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_2yHcXF8Ie-f2qmZCuwEgw

This weekend my family and I went out to eat breakfast. When I was reserving our table, I met Klaws dad and Klaws son. Dad is 105 years of age and he carries a big smile. When we got seated, our tables were next to each other, so I started a conversation with Klaws son.He asked me what I do to stay in shape and I answered with the common answer:“I exercise 5 times a week, I eat healthy and hike twice to three times a week.”We continued talking and that is when I found out that his dad is 105 years of age. So I asked Klaws dad how he managed to live so long. He said that exercising and stretching is the key. The older you get the more you slow down the more you need to fight that by exercising more. Plus, he got rid of the fat, sugar and alcohol. And of course, you need to see the positive of everything and get rid of the negative.If  you want to continue reading the article, go to the following link: https://custombodyfitnessgws.com/post/Things-You-Should-Know-If-Your-Goal-Is-to-Tone-Your-Body-and-Gain-MuscleVisit our website:https://custombodyfitnessgws.com/blogVisit our Google Sites:https://custom-body-fitness-llc.business.site/https://custombodyfitnessgws.business.site/https://custom-body-fitness-willits.business.site/Follows on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/cbf.english Follow our Podcast at Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/1tmitF21ovjEOo2tEdVk7A?si=294de20720134c6aApple Podcast:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/weight-loss-and-body-toning/id1608754655Subscribe to our YouTube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_2yHcXF8Ie-f2qmZCuwEgw

Mrs John has been with us for around 9 months and she has lost around 50 pounds. She looks younger and she is a lot stronger than before. Even though she has lost so much weight, she still has fat to lose, to be more specific she has 33% body fat and she can lose another 13%. Last time I assessed Mrs John, she said she is getting frustrated. I was surprised with her comment taking into consideration the amazing results she has delivered. So I asked her why and she answered that she could not lose belly fat.

Last week I assessed one of our members who lost 4 pounds. Like I do with all my assessments, I asked him what he did to lose the 4 pounds and I also asked him what he thinks it needs to improve to see better results. Our member talked about all the changes he made in his eating, and how he was eating. As we talked he mentioned that he ate hamburgers made at home with organic ground beef.
