  • Don't overcomplicate things

    One of the reasons people fail to achieve their goals is that they overcomplicate things. MISTAKE #2 is counting calories and macros before you need to. It's not that calories don't matter, but that there are several ways people commonly screw up their diets. And if you take care of them, you’ll likely progress without counting. I call these the “big wins.” These are the easy-to-implement, large-impact strategies that help people create the required caloric deficit for weight loss, without needing to count. (If you have the opposite problem and struggle to gain weight, consider reversing a few of them, except the alcohol one.) ​ 1. CUT DOWN THE ALCOHOL I have ....

  • Reasons for sudden weight gain or weight loss and why you shouldn't freak out!

    Many clients and former clients have had a ‘problem’ which they swore I saved them from. More accurately, it's something I have saved them from doing something silly in reaction to. It didn't matter if they were complete fitness newbies or more advanced trainees who had achieved single-digit body fat; this problem doesn't discriminate. — It makes people equally miserable and causes them to question the hard work they are putting in. This problem they had was thinking sudden weight fluctuations were changes in body fat. ​ Have you ever weighed yourself one morning to find you've gained 5 pounds? This is common if you've been dieting and you have a day with ....

  • The fat-burning heart-rate zone is a myth: How exercise and weight loss really work

    If you’re the kind of exerciser who constantly checks your heart rate to ensure you’re in the fat-burning zone, you should stop. You’ll probably never meet your weight-loss goals that way. That’s because there’s no special fat-burning zone that’s key to getting lean. Here’s what you need to know about the myth and about the true relationship between exercise and weight loss. A burning question
    Yes, we know. If you look at the wall charts or cardio equipment in a gym, or listen to many personal trainers, you’ll be indoctrinated about the “fat-burning zone.” The standard advice for getting in this zone is to workout at ....

  • Why is alcohol bad for weight loss?

    Alcohol is bad for weight loss plans mainly because of its unique digestive characteristics along with the fact that it has no nutritional value and is packed with calories. Why Is Alcohol Bad For Weight Loss? Alcohol is bad for weight loss because it is metabolized in such a way that it prevents any other nutrients from getting absorbed into your bloodstream. Not only does it deprive you from absorbing nutrients into your body, it kills your appetite and disables you from eating anything at all, let alone healthy foods. Another prime reason why alcohol is bad for weight loss is that alcohol is a diuretic and causes severe dehydration if consumed in large amounts. What it does is ....

  • Whats the best way to lose belly fat...diet or exercise?

    What's the best way to lose belly fat: Diet or Exercise? You really need both of them because: losing fat (all kinds of fat, not just the belly fat that covers your lower abs) requires an energy deficit. At the end of the day, you need your body to realize that it didn't take in enough caloric currency to pay for your daily efforts, forcing it to tap into its energy savings account (stored fat). The greater this deficit, the more weight you will lose. Why Just Dieting Doesn't Work in the Long Run There are numerous hormones that impact weight loss, the two main ones are Leptin and Grelin. Leptin is a hormone released by your fat cells that signals you to eat less and burn more ....

  • The Benefits Of HIIT

    The benefits of HIIT HIIT, or high-intensity interval training, is a type of cardiovascular workout focused on burning fat quickly. Marked by quick, concentrated bursts of exercise with rest breaks in between, HIIT workouts can be fine-tuned to fit anyone’s fitness level. One intense exercise burst and one rest break is considered one round of repetitions. Generally, high-intensity interval training consists of a certain amount of reps or for a certain time period and can last from 5 minutes all the way up to twenty to thirty minutes. This is highly beneficial for individuals who may only have a brief amount of time, such as a lunch break, to exercise. High-intensity ....

I have been training with Carlos Martin at Bay Area Trainers for about three months and the results are nothing short of amazing. I feel stronger, my endurance has increased, I can *see* my body changing, my blood pressure and sleep apnea are both improving. But the changes aren’t only physical. Since starting this program, my mental clarity, stamina, and ability to focus have improved dramatically. One of the things we talked about at the very beginning was the mind-body connection and the positive effects of physical fitness on mental wellness. It’s hard to overstate just how much better I feel, mentally, emotionally, and physically. At 46 years old I feel better now than I have at any point in the last 10 years. On top of all that, Carlos is positively fantastic to be working with. His boundless positive energy will keep you motivated even through the toughest of workouts (which he can and does deliver). He’s highly knowledgable, passionate, and takes a genuine interest in his client’s success. The entire staff is friendly and welcoming, and I’m always looking forward to my next session. I’m excited by what the next three months will bring

I have always been active, growing up an athlete. I have done everything from going to the gym day in and day out, trying workout videos like Insanity and varying up the workouts with hikes and outdoor exercise. Sticking to working out has never been a problem but getting bored with workouts was. Then I found BayArea Trainer bootcamps and decided to try it out. Since day one, I have not been bored with any workout that Devin has given us and I look forward to the next days workout. If you are looking for great trainers, a positive, encouraging workout environment and ever changing routines this is the place to come. I love it!
