A Powerful Mind Leads to Powerful Results

The majority of people who join a gym are looking for one of the following: Improved health Look better Feel better Obviously there are other reasons too, but these tend to be the most common. Everyone want the results to come quick and easy, but it does not happen that way. It takes time and consistency. Results do not happen over night. The body is complex and it takes time for your body to adjust. When it comes to weight loss, the body needs to get into a caloric deficit. You need to burn more calories than you actually consume, not what you are guessing and putting in an app. You need to correctly measure foods to get the most accurate guess. This sounds easy to do. There is one ....

Beginner Guide to Protein

Proteins are the building blocks to a lot of objects in your body. Here is a small list of things made of protein in your body: Neurotransmitters in your brain Muscles (muscle burns more calories than fat) Antibodies (Protect the body from viruses and bacteria) Keratin is a protein that helps out with your hair, skin and nails Hemoglobin (blood protein that carries oxygen) Proteins make up a large portion of hormones in the body Enzymes are made of proteins (catalyst for chemical reactions in the body) Collagen and elastin are proteins that make up bones, tendons and ligaments As we age, we need more protein to prevent muscle loss. If we workout or are very active, we need more protein ....

Add Nutrition, Don't Subtract it.

It is that time of year again... New Years Resolutions! Obviously this time of year, a lot of people start out trying to accomplish new goals or ones they keep putting off. Weight loss is one of the most common goals this time of year. Majority of people join or go back to the gym and start taking "bad" foods out of their diets. What would you think if we told you to not take anything out of your diet, but add to it? Yes, eat more! So many people just start slashing kcal while adding in more activity. This is pry a bit backwards of what you should be doing. Add in the activity first, and slowly start to add in more non-starchy vegetables and whole fruits. You are putting more stress ....

Gym Etiquette

With the holiday season approaching and more people starting to get into the gym, we just want to highlight some rules and proper gym etiquette. There are going to be more people in the gym, so we want to make sure everyone is happy and getting done what they need to safely and in a timely manner. Here are some things to keep in mind while working out at OCF: Bring a change of shoes in. Snow/rain/salt are going to make things a mess, so please change your shoes to keep the gym floor clean. Wipe down your equipment when done and even before if you would like. There is a lot of sickness going around, so we want to make sure everyone stays safe and healthy. Please do not sit on ....

Fade the FAD

FAD DIETS DO NOT WORK! You have heard of them all: Keto, South Beach, Whole 30, Vegan, Master Cleanse, Zone, Weight Watchers, etc.... How many times have you started a weight loss journey? How many times have you reached your goal? How many times have you started another one? The main reason people fail at getting weight off and keeping it off is because their process is not sustainable. They can get some water weight and glycogen off quick, but not the fat. People view weight loss as a quick fix and not a life long process of changing their eating and exercise habits. You must change your everyday habits to reach your goals and keep your goals. I have always been a believer in ....

Nutrient Density vs Calorie Dense

Losing weight does not need to be complicated. You do not have to come to the point of feeling starved all the time. Yes, you want to be in a calorie deficit, but you do not need to feel that rumble in your tummy all the time. You can fill up on nutrient dense food and be satiated. You may ask, "Nutrient dense foods?" Yes, the foods that are high in vitamins, minerals, and not loaded with calories. These foods should make you feel satisfied and full, but won't load you down with all the excess calories. Calorie dense foods may give you satisfaction right away, but they often lead to you feeling hungry again shortly after eating them. We all know what happens when we eat too many ....

What You Need To Know To Start Working Out After 50

If you're new to exercise, or coming back to it after many years of a layoff, it is very challenging. You don't have the same sense of fearlessness that you had in the past. You may lack confidence for many reasons. If you are over 50-years-old and starting out , the challenge can seem overwhelming. The truth is that we have an aging population , more awareness of the benefits of exercise, and a sense of urgency about reducing the cost of healthcare as we age and expenses go up. Unfortunately, the fitness industry is still dominated by the image of youth and muscularity, often neglecting older trainees . Most of this neglect is probably best attributed to the fact that it's only ....

Client Review

"I signed up for strength training with Tim because I am a musician and schlepping equipment around for the band was wearing me out. To give you an idea as to what I had to contend with, the combined weight of my keyboard and case is about 110 pounds, about 15 pounds less than my average body weight. Add to the scenario challenges faced at venues such as weddings taking place in historic churches exempt from accessibility rules like elevators and ramps, or outdoor venues with terraced landscaping, and you've got a recipe for exhaustion before the music begins! I started working out with Tim, explained my needs, and he came up with a plan that would best suit me. I neither gained nor ....

Eat For Your Goals

Eat For the Body You Want
When it comes to weight loss or muscle gain, most people have great intentions. They hit the gym 4-5 days per week, sweating like crazy. Pushing themselves on all of their sets and making sure the elliptical says they burned 500 calories when they are done. They do this every day they are in the gym. One week, two weeks, three weeks go by an they see no change. They are thinking to themselves, "why aren't I losing any weight? I am doing all of this work and not seeing any results. How many of you fall into this category? It happens more often than not. So where are people messing up? It comes down to nutrition. Most of these people that are not seeing the ....

6 Snack Hacks for Weight-Loss Success

We’re a society of snackers, using quick grab-and-go bites to get us through long, hectic days. For example, 1 in 6 adults gets more than 40% of their daily calories from snacks alone. Serving as meal replacements and filling the gaps in our days when there isn’t enough time to cook, snacks help curb appetite, boost energy and possibly control weight by sustaining our metabolism throughout the day. If done right, a healthy snack or two can prevent you from overeating during your next meal. However, we often snack to satisfy a craving, like those for sugar, salt or chocolate . But with the right approach, you can use snacks as a tool to achieve your weight-loss goals. Try ....

We Will All Gain Unwanted Weight Unless...

Some people are going to tell me that these posts are getting redundant. I would tell those people the annual blood sugar increase that we see in the United States around around this time every year gets redundant. Not to mention the inevitable health problems that stem from it. Every year we know its coming, but we do nothing about it. The numbers don't lie. Heart disease and diabetes are among the top 8 leading causes of death in the United States. In 2015 29.1 million Americans had diabetes, and 76% of those people will die from it. Every year 610,00 Americans die from heart disease. This is problem that grows every year. And the biggest issue, these are completely and utterly ....

Problem is, this is going to take you years and years and more money than I am sure you would like to spend.

It's A Journey, Not A Destination

Too often in the fitness industry we hearpeople talking about weight loss, or any fitness goal for that matter, like there is a final destination in the future. This means that after putting all of the hard work into changing habits and working towards the goal that they had committed themselves to, they still had plans to go back to the way that they started in terms of their habits and hope to maintain what they had earned. My friends, this is just not how it works. Health and fitness is not a diet, it is not a quick fix, it is not a period of time. Health and fitness refers to changing your lifestyle to promote health and quality of life, and there is nothing temporary about those ....

Stick To A Schedule

Earlier this week I was having a talk with a prior client of mine who had worked their butt for 6 months while on their program with me. They had reached their goal and we felt they they were at a point where they had learned a lot about themselves, exercise, nutrition, and the type of lifestyle that healthy living entails. However as I was talking with them we got to the topic whether or not they had maintained their results. While they did not completely rebound, they had started to head back the other direction. After digging a little deeper we realized that the issue was not with the nutrition or food intake side of things, it was sticking to a regular workout regimen. It seemed ....

How many times have you yourself of heard about others who have chalked the year up as a loss and told themselves, "I'll just start off right in the new year." I have heard it all too many times and frankly, I thought it was time to try and do something about it. Here's what I mean.. I understand that the holidays also bring with them some increased spending which can tighten the budget and make it hard to invest in other things, including our health and fitness.

What To Do When You Injure Yourself

Injuries are something that can make it harder for us to get close to our health and fitness goals, and I am sure that all of us have dealt with an injury from sports or exercise at some point. So, what are some of the things that we can do when we are injured to stay on track and keep moving in the right direction. I learned very early on when I started making it a priority to get regular exercise that when we are injured we never quit and we never train through things, we train around things. This way we can stay in the gym and not have to really take any time off from exercise at all. Let's say you pull a muscle in your quad, most people would use that as an excuse to sit on the ....

You CAN exercise on painful joints

Research has shown that exercise can help reduce arthritis pain and improve range of motion, and it’s now considered an essential part of arthritis management.

Doctors now know that, in addition to all its heart health benefits, regular exercise can:
Reduce inflammation, stiffness, and joint pain
Build muscle around joints, better supporting them and protecting them from shock and daily wear and tear

Change Your Mind-Change Your Body

Fad diets annoy the crap out of me because they are based on fake science and they completely mess with your mind. They make you skinny, for a while. Then they make you fat, then skinny, then fat again. It’s a deeply unhealthy pattern and the eternal dieter, forever carrying unwanted extra pounds, is the only loser – except they lose money instead of fat and get trapped in a vicious cycle of unhealthy thinking. Fad diets make you feel guilty, and ultimately like a failure. They are not realistic because they are unsustainable – after all it’s impossible to maintain a rigid practice that offers no enjoyment. They present you with a list of “haves” and “have nots” and remove ....

Revealed-The Secrets To Achieving The Fitness and Weight Loss Results you Want

The secret of making a simple commitment
