PPS. If you are looking for an extremely effective weight loss method…do what I did buy kettlebells!

I really do get asked this all the time:

“When is the BEST time to workout?” (preferably with kettlebells ; )

Well, in reality, the best time truly is whenever you are actually going to do it.

Look, some people love to get their training in first thing in the morning.

Some love to go during their lunch hour.

And, of course, many people just wait until after work.

Hey, with some many people completely out of shape and unhealthy I’m happy whatever time you go and workout, so long as you actually go!

But many people are confused as to what and when they are supposed to eat based on when they get their workout in.

And they are also baffled as to when they should take their supplements.

You’re in luck if you’re one of the confused! My partners over at Prograde Nutrition have created this really simple chart that shows you examples of what you can eat and when, and it’s all based on what time of day you workout.

Plus, it also shows good times to fit in your supplements for optimal results.

Even better is that they made a version for men and a version for women.

With all the buzz recently about how “hydrogenated” oils are bad, “trans-fats” etc. (which we used to be told were healthy), what is really healthy? Can certain fats help us lose weight? Here is a great article that explains a big part of the equation by discussing essential fatty acids (ones our body can’t make), why they’re important, where to get them…and why they sometimes put “Contains Omega 3s” on egg cartons! Check it out here:

Here’s a good article from my partners over at Prograde Nutrition.

It answers this question perfectly:

“I’ve heard that eating more frequently will increase my Metabolism and help me lose weight.

Is this true? Why?”

If it were easy everyone would be walking around with a lean, sexy body.

But hey, it’s not in this world we live in today. Believe me, I understand all too well that there’s temptation around every corner.

Everywhere you look there’s fast food, junk food, chocolate, candy, ice cream, pizza…

And I know it tastes good. And I know when you get stressed your body craves it even more.

That’s why you have to have a plan. You have to know what you’re going to do to avoid those temptations. You have to plan your meals in advance.

Again, if this were easy everyone would be thin and in great shape. But they’re not.

The first thing to do is come to grips with reality. To accept the fact that getting the body of your dreams is going to take effort.

The second is to understand that it’s not going to be miserable. In fact, it’s going to be a LOT of fun.

When you exercise you feel awesome. Sure, the weight comes off. But you also feel stronger. You’re more alive. You can meet the demands of your day SO much easier.

How is that miserable?

And when you start eating healthier the same thing happens. It really, really is true: you are what you eat.

Now, take a second and really think about that.

What you are putting in your mouth is what your body is using to regenerate itself with all the time.

If you’re eating crappy food…

But don’t worry, I’ve got a really cool and inexpensive resource for you to help you out BIG TIME with your healthy eating.

My partners over at Prograde Nutrition have created this 197 Healthy and Delicious Fat Burning Recipes ebook. It’s only $4.95 and I highly recommend it to make healthy weight loss much easier on you.

Iraq '09-'10

I got back from Iraq about 3 weeks ago and have started back up with the fitness site and blog.  I have a lot of great things to talk about, new workout routines, products, supplements and fitness material to review.  A big re-vamp of the fitkettlebell.com website is long overdue as well.  Stay tuned!
