Do you have to? No. Should you? Yes. These days, we are all ‘on the go’… school, work, kids, soccer, dance, working out, whatever…. One of the keys to building lean muscle mass is sufficient intake of protein and other essential vitamins and nutrients. One of the fastest and healthiest ways to get all these nutrients is with protein powder. It’s quickly and easily digested, making for an easy (and yes, really tasty) meal. It’s also great at making you feel full so you are never hungry..

You will leave knowing more about your health and fitness and you feel better. You will be challenged to go beyond what you believe is possible. You and I will plan together, work together and celebrate positive results.

Body fat is measured using a Skin fold Caliper. Weight can be a “vague” measurement because it is determined by bones, tissue, fat, muscle and water. Body fat composition, however, is a precise measurement that determines the percentage of lean muscle versus the percentage of fat on the body.

Rich train’s his clients in a private studio in Paso Robles equipped with a variety of cardio-conditioning and weight-training equipment. Unlike a gym class a personal training session focuses on you, taking into account your age, sex, and physical limitations. Rich guides his clients through proper form and pushes them enough to get great results without risking injury. Drill-sergeant tactics are not used.

Unless you are a woman taking anabolic steroids, 99.9% of women do not have the hormones necessary to create “male/bulky” muscle. Most women who begin intense resistance training may see their arms grow larger at first. This is due to muscle being developed under the already existing layer of fat which can lead to the misunderstanding that “my arms are getting huge!”.

However, with consistency and determination, along with the correct exercise program designed by Rich, you can eventually shed off the unwanted fat and change your body composition so that your arms achieve your desired tone. Most people just want to look lean, toned and, well, just great. That’s his specialty, and something he have helped hundreds of men and women achieve.

He has the expertise to guide you through your journey of changing your eating habits. You will leave his program feeling secure that quality eating habits have been established for a lifetime.

No, muscle cannot turn into fat. Fat and muscle are two totally different entities. Muscle will lose tone and get smaller when not in use but it will not turn to fat. When regular exercise is discontinued fewer calories will be burned during the day. If calorie intake remains the same, body fat will increase. While it may look like muscles are turning to fat after cessation of training, they are really being replaced by fat.

Some people are blessed with the genetic makeup that will allow them to eat and never gain a pound. In all likelihood you are not one of those lucky individuals. The good news is with the proper nutrition plan you will feel so good that you won’t want to eat junk food. That being said, in moderation you can enjoy eating almost anything.

A lot of people think so. And you’ll hear it over and over. The truth to losing weight fast is really about a mix of cardio, resistance training, of course healthy eating. People who employ all three burn more calories, and lose weight significantly faster than those on cardio alone. It’s all part of a lifestyle change, that lasts a lifetime. Unfortunately cardio only speeds metabolism for a couple of hours while strength training builds muscle that burns fat throughout the day and at night while you sleep.
