Whats the answer to weight loss?

How come some people get results when they begin an exercise program and others do not. Some will say they don't work hard enough. So intensity is the answer right? Some say that the programs your following is not correct and it is causing you not to get the results you desire. So following the right program is the answer right? Some say you do not do enough cardio and if you do do enough its not the right type. So more cardio and the right kind of cardio is the answer right? Then some say its your diet, you are not eating enough protein, or your eating too many carbs, or your calories are either too high or too low. So eating more protein, less carbs, and a proper amount of calories is the answer right?

The truth is somewhere in the middle of all those questions. If my experience has shown me anything it has shown me that the environment must be right to create success. You are probably asking what exactly does that mean? I am going to do my best to explain it in regards to achieving a healthier more fit lifestyle.

Tune in to the next post for the first piece of the puzzle on the weight loss.

Summer Athlete Development Program

Elite Fitness Solutions
Athlete Development Program!

Tobi Fisk is offering a 4 week sports performance program through out the summer for individual athletes and teams. Our program is developed with the total athlete in mind. We start with core conditioning and then develop explosive athletes through a functional strength and power program. We are different than your average program in a couple of ways. We focus on correct form and technique and then add intensity in order to achieve optimal results. We test each participant in a number of fitness disciplines and then retest at the end of the program. We guarantee results in performance.

How we get results:
- Dynamic warm up, reduces injuries and prepares the body for harder work.
- Core and Muscle Activation Component
- Speed, Agility and Plyometric Component.
- Strength and Power Component
- “Crossfit style” High Intensity Circuit component.

“Most programs only focus on intensity and run your athletes to death, this does not make them better, just tired and usually injured.”

- Times: T/Th/Sa or M/W/Fr
- Where: Your place or ours, you choose. We have a location in Coppell and in Lewisville, but will be glad to travel to you.
- Trainer: Tobi Fisk and Elite Staff

Coppell Cheer Program 2009

I was very impressed with the Coppell Cheer Leaders, they tested extremely well last week. We tested these athletes in Tabata Squats, Shuttle Runs, Planks, Push Ups, and Broad Jumps. This gave us a good amount of data to see what kind of athletes we will be working with. We hope to improve the overall conditioning of the Coppell Cheerleaders, specifically in the areas leg strength and power, core strength and core stability, flexibility and upper body strength. I will update this blog with workouts over the next few weeks. I will also post test results before and after. Keep checking blog for some great new workouts.

Rowing, Spinning, and Chest

This is a fun workout. Nice change of pace from the standard stuff.

2,000 Meter Row on Concept 2 rower for time. Keep watts at least 1- 1.5 times body weight
20 min spin bike ride keep heart rate at least 80%
Bench Press- Follow progression and time record the sets, reps, and weights and time to finish and heaviest weight lifted. start sets every 90 seconds, not 90 seconds rest. Start on 0 then set 2 at 180 seconds, then set 3 at 240 seconds, then set 5 at 300 seconds(5minutes) ect.......
Set 1. 1/2 bw to failure ( at least 30 reps)

Hopefully you see the progression. Try this workout once every 10 days. Your bench press strength will go through the roof. Record data and send to me. I am curious to see your improvement over 6 workouts or 60 days.
