Why does it get harder to lose weight as we get older?!

The answer is Muscle Loss- (Check the picture)
Muscle loss is the cause of weight gain…muscle is actually the tissue of longevity. Muscle is not just used for movement it also is the foundation to your metabolism. Muscle also acts to regulate how you’re body digests carbs and fats. Muscle and metabolism go hand in hand! The stronger and healthier your muscles are the more carbs and fats your body will burn.
So losing muscle is a bad thing not only for the way we look but for our health long term!
Here are the warning signs you are probably losing muscle:
Warning Sign 1: You are noticing weight gain in areas you didn’t before
Warning Sign 2: You feel weak and have no energy to get thru the day
Warning Sign 3: Your body has lost shape and you feel more saggy and flabby
Lots of our clients suffer from muscle loss. Especially once you get over 35 years old. Here is our top 2 strategies we implement to fight muscle loss
Fight Muscle Loss Tip 1: Increase your protein intake- Aim for 1-2 palmfuls of lean protein 4-5xs a day. Protein provides your body with the building blocks for metabolism function and regulations of all tissues and organs in your body
Fight Muscle Loss Tip 2: Do Full Body Strength Sessions 2-4xs a week- Nothing prevents muscle loss than actively lifting weights. Even if you have injuries you can still work around them to retain muscle and get better with age. Strength training breaks down old and weak tissue and rebuilds back new and stronger muscles. So not only do you get stronger but you get toner!
The more cardio and fad diets you do the more muscle you actually end up losing. The more muscle you lose the harder and harder it is to gain it back. This also leads to a slower metabolism overall which will cause you to gain more body fat and health issues moving forward.
Implement these 2 tips today and STOP losing muscle!

I dont have time to workout

“People say that motivation doesn’t last. Well neither does bathing, that’s why we recommend it daily!” - Zig Ziglar
Motivation is powerful and but as the hilarious quote says - it doesn’t last.
When motivation lags you need good old fashioned, butt kicking self-discipline to keep yourself on track.
(If your self-discipline is lagging I’ve got a few tips later that will help).
Self-discipline is about knowing what you have to do and doing it even when you don’t want to. (read that line again and again to yourself)
Like going to the gym when you’re tired.

It’s about gritting you teeth and following your nutrition plan – even if you don’t want to.
If that sounds like hard work then let me throw another quote at you...
“Do something today that you’re future self will thank you for"
I don’t know who said that but it motivates me.
And it helps me be more disciplined.
What we do or don’t do today won’t change the here and now much but it will change what happens to us tomorrow, the day after and the day after.
It’s about doing things consistently, even when you don’t want to.
Like saving money today for the house you’ll buy tomorrow.
It’s like the medical student studying until 4am because when they pass the exams to achieve their dream and become a doctor.
Do something today that your future self will thank you for.
If that resonates with you and if you’re serious about making REAL changes in your life then I strongly recommend you DO these three things.
The first is to set a goal.
You need to know where you’re going and you need to be able to measure how close you are to your goal.
Take measurements, keep score and review these weekly.
Second, find an accountability partner someone you can rely on and share the journey with.
The positive pressure of having someone can drastically increase your chance of success.
What you do need is someone who’s going to make sure you’re doing the work, supporting you when you need support and shouting at you when you need to be shouted at. (this is why accountability coaching is such a big part of our program)
Last but not least - be accountable to a group.
Just look at the success and popularity of our personal training program
Its not just an exercise class; they’re getting individual attention but also have camaraderie and are working towards a common goal. Imagine working out with people just like you…seeing a women in her 50s doing something that she couldnt do 3 weeks earlier is so motivating!
In the group you push yourself more so you’re not the weakest link and you push yourself to make sure to keep pace with everyone else (and to keep our trainers happy).
Strange as it may seem - we’re social beings and working in a group triggers our basic instinct to fit in. And results show that!
Let me summarize this for you:
Write down your goals
Be accountable to yourself.
Find an accountability partner.
Join our personal training program
It’s all simple stuff (like the best advice always is).

I just want my before baby body back

Those were the words Gabriella told me during our initial assessment. Gabriella felt like most moms do after they have their second baby. Frustrated and stuck. ⁣
Her old body seemed so far away and she was at a plateau. "I don't understand I am eating so healthy but have not lost a single pound". ⁣

During our assessment, we explained to Gabriella that our training solution is going to be the advantage she needed to get a body better than before.
She wasn't working out with weights properly And her nutrition had no structure
All we had to do is implement our “Results on Autopilot system”!⁣

In just 8 short weeks Gabriella lost⁣
-26lbs of Fat⁣
-9.2% Bodyfat⁣ &⁣
-14 inches off the waist & hips⁣⁣
And this was what Gabriella had to say
“⁣I decided to Google “best trainers on Long Island” and came across AB fitness. I can’t tell you how lucky I was to find the AB Fitness team! From the very beginning, the trainers were approachable and welcoming and made me feel like I could truly loose the baby weight I had gained. Before training with AB Fitness, I was avid about eating healthy and working out. However, regardless of my efforts, I was left frustrated and overwhelmed. AB Fitness was able to re-educate me on proper daily consumption of meals and refine my eating habits to my needs. The meal plan was simple to follow and I found myself eating all the foods I loved without depriving myself. They have helped me regain my strength and helped transform my body back to what it originally was before I was pregnant. Their team was incredibly helpful in motivating me and always available for any questions.”
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣So, if you are a mom who is struggling to lose the baby weight…send me a DM let's see if we can put together a solution for you⁣

Six weeks ago I walked into AB Fitness and made one of the best decisions of my life

“As you know, I am not much for posting but I was asked to share my story and since I am so ecstatic with my results so far, here goes........

I have always struggled with my weight. It has been an ongoing, uphill losing battle. Over the course of my life, I have tried pretty much every type of weight loss/diet. Each time with little results or no lasting results. And once menopause hit, things just got worse. My weight crept up even more and became even more stubborn.

On top of that my energy level was at an all-time low. I felt physically uncomfortable and self-conscious. At the beginning of the year, I was diagnosed with Osteopenia in my neck and back. My doctor recommended losing weight and weight training. Weight loss seemed impossible and weight training was definitely not something I was interested in trying. The thought of it actually scared me. I couldn’t imagine myself lifting weights but I knew something had to be done. I just didn’t know where to start.

Lucky for me, AB Fitness Center is down the road from my house and I drive past is daily. I felt like I should at least check it out.
I was so apprehensive when I first walked in but immediately the staff greeted me with the warmest welcome and their big smiles. They proceeded to explain why weight training is so important and how his weight loss/fitness program works.

The diet plan sounded simple enough (and all real food) and the workout was 2-3 times a week for 30 minutes (seriously that’s it).

That Saturday, I showed up for my first workout. I was so nervous walking in the door but the trainers, were all so friendly. They really made me feel welcome. The workout itself was so hard and I struggled to get through it but the trainers consistently cheered me on and motivated me to continue. It was a LONG 30 minutes.

I could barely walk home (and I live a few blocks away). The next two days were not pleasant. I was so sore. The thought of quitting did cross my mind but thankfully I didn’t give in. Each workout after got better and better. The trainers continue to motivate and push you just the right amount. I couldn’t believe how much stronger I felt after even just a few workouts.
The meal plan is easy to follow. AB Fitness makes it very simple to understand and even sends helpful videos. Most importantly, They are always there to answer your questions.
In just 6 weeks, the changes have been amazing.

First of all, I have more energy than I have had in years and my aches and pains have all subsided. I have lost more weight than I ever thought possible in 6 weeks and my shape has changed quite a lot. I feel amazing. And something I wasn’t expecting at all, at my most recent physical (after less than 3 weeks on the program), my cholesterol level went down significantly – I had no idea a change like that could happen so fast. I am so excited to see where the next 6 weeks take me. For the first time, I actually feel like I am going to succeed and reach my goals!
AB Fitness is absolutely the best of the best!!!! If you looking to lose weight or get in shape, I highly recommend you give AB Fitness a try, you will not be disappointed. I am truly grateful for the new life they have given me!!!”

5 Biggest Fitness Beliefs you NEED to AVOID while trying to reshape your body forever

Hating the way your body has been looking and feeling lately?
Does it seem to be getting worse?
Start doing these 5 things to completely reshape the way you look
Stop doing Cardio- that’s right all that cardio you are doing isn’t helping! When you do a lot of cardio you end up burning muscle mass and that makes you look flabby.
Start eating 40-50g of protein within the first hour of waking up.
Protein is a food that our body can not store…our bodies can store carbs and fats but not protein. Protein helps supply your body with all the essential amino acids necessary to retain the most active tissues in your body…muscle
It will also help to curb your appetite!
Do Barbell Squats, Deadlifts, Bench Press, Inverted Rows, and Overhead presses!
When done CORRECTLY these movements will help stimulate a lot of your muscles. Doing these movements over time will lead you to be more tone, defined, and stronger than ever
Have Protein with every meal
When you sit down to eat you need to make sure the base of the meal is protein. Higher protein diets have been shown to be more effective at reshaping your body long term. Aim for 1g per pound of body weight
Stop having cheat meals
Out of the 7 days in a week…if you start having cheat meals Friday and then that continues Sat and Sunday…that’s 3 days out of the week or more than half! 1 cheat day can ruin 1 week's worth of progress. So this is why every week you don’t see the scale move because week after week you are just taking off the weight you are gaining from the weekends!
Let me know below how many of these things you will try to do!

"I messed up so bad this weekend i ruined everything"

This was what one of our clients told me.
We forget that fat loss is never a straight line down. You will always have ups and downs along your journey but one lousy weekend of eating is only a blip on the radar.
We are striving for long-term progress, not short-term!
Don't beat yourself up if you had a bad day of eating, just make sure you get back on track as fast as possible.
This is what makes our clients so successful because even if they fall off we are on top of them reminding them to get back on it. We can see exactly what they are eating and monitor it.
This level of accountability helps you hit new lows!

Skippy wont tell you that peanut butter is making you fat but ab fitness has the solution

Who doesn’t love peanut butter ? But who actually measures it out?
Like most of our clients starting out they think by eating peanut butter they are having a high protein healthy snack.
But that couldn't be further from the truth
Peanut butter is very calorie-dense
1 serving of Peanut butter contains around 190 calories and has 16g of fat.
“But Anthony it's healthy fat”
Yes, it is but fat still contains calories and when you are trying to reshape your body to many calories and fat will have the opposite effect
“But Anthony it has protein”
Yes, it does have SOME protein but not enough to make a difference. Most of the calories from Peanut butter come from fat NOT protein, so there for peanut butter is a fat source!
For that same 190 calories, you can have 1.5 scoops of AB Whey and get almost 30g of high-quality protein
But lucky for you I got you covered.
I created an alternative recipe that is super high in protein and super low in fat.
That also still has the same great taste and all the benefits of peanut butter without the extra fat!

Screw the scale shes down 3 pants sizes!

The scale sucks…we get on it one day and it's up…we diet hard and really good and the scale seemingly goes nowhere.
You start bitching and moaning and saying to yourself…This isn’t working
You get so frustrated and you feel like you aren’t making any progress…so you want to give up
This is exactly how Rachel felt UNTIL
She tried on her clothes
She’s down 3 pants sizes in just about 2 weeks!
Sometimes you forget that the scale doesn’t really tell us the full story. When you are trying to reshape your body you need to look at other things
Like your clothes!
So in just about 2 weeks, Rachel has been
Starting to learn how Nutrition Works
She has been eating more lean protein
Started Strength training
And all of this has begun to
Completely reshape her body and get her closer to her goal
The same can happen to you if you take the right actions (like clicking the button below)

It goes way beyond fat loss

Most of the time we get wrapped up in
What the scale says
Do we need to be doing cardio or not
Is the workout we are doing at home working
How your clothes fit
That we forget that it goes way beyond those tangible things.
How confident do you feel right now?
How much more confident would you feel if you got the above in line?
Well that's what Anna has now...a new sense of confidence
She built that confidence thru little wins along her fitness journey
With more confidence, Anna can do things she didn't think were possible.
What would you do with more confidence?
Put on a two piece bathing suit?
Buy clothes that you couldn't even think of wearing now?
Actually, get in family pictures without being embarrassed
Get attention from your spouse
You can do anything you want and fitness is the lock and key to having it all!

35 Lessons from a Personal TRAINER TO HELP YOU LOSE WEIGHT

Click to Call us Now

I turn the big【35】today so I want to give you a gift!
My purpose on this planet is to provide as many people with the help they need to transform their life
And over my 35 years, I am constantly learning what works and what doesn't.
Each year I complied a list of tips on how to get in better shape and the tips get better and better every year. Think of it as a way to download a ton of knowledge really fast!
So with that said here are 35 ways to lose body fat and totally transform your body and health
1 Remember no matter how hard you exercise you can’t outwork a bad diet
2 Not all fitness modalities work the same to transform your body…we have found Incorporating more barbell work with progression does just that
3 Download MyFitnessPal and start tracking EVERYTHING you eat
4 Do full-body workouts 2-5x a week
5 When the workout program calls for 4 sets of 10 that means do 4 HARD sets of 10 reps
6 Try to drink 1 gallon of water per day
7 Calorie-free drinks are safe to drink and have been shown to help keep weight off
8 Higher volume workouts tend to work better
9 Avoid Oil at all cost
10 Whenever cooking anything, use pam spray
11 What has worked best for me and all my clients is having 2 scoops of protein within 30 upon waking up
12 You need more protein than you think
13 If you are having a hard time digesting protein use betaine HCL
14 Vegetables are overrated
15 You need to progress from workout to workout in some capacity (reps, sets, weight, time under tension, total volume, improved form)

Best Personal Trainer in Long Island Talks about why your body isnt changing

Hate to be the one to say it but
ℍ𝕖𝕣𝕖 𝕚𝕤 𝕥𝕙𝕖 𝕙𝕒𝕣𝕕 𝕥𝕣𝕦𝕥𝕙
𝕆𝕟 𝕨𝕙𝕪 𝕪𝕠𝕦𝕣 𝕓𝕠𝕕𝕪 𝕚𝕤𝕟’𝕥 𝕔𝕙𝕒𝕟𝕘𝕚𝕟𝕘
Despite your best efforts
1️⃣You aren’t in a calorie deficit because you are sneaking bites, licks, and sips, and you “eat the same thing every day so you don’t need to log it”
These calories add up really fast! Licks, sips, and bites can add up to 300 extra calories every day!
2️⃣You are paralyzed but what the scale says
You let the scale dictate your feelings…if your weight spikes up from water you freak out and then get frustrated and cheat. Then you feel guilty and start again on Monday
3️⃣You care more about “burning more calories doing cardio” than lifting heavyweights
Cardio is very reactive not proactive! Let’s say you get sick and go to the dr
The dr gives you antibiotics to get rid of the cold
That’s what cardio is…the antibiotics
But how did you get sick in the first place?
It’s because you don’t eat your fruits and veggies and your immune system is weak!
So weight training is like fruits and veggies! Weight training retains muscle which helps your metabolism and overall body!

Are you ready for this hard truth?
4️⃣You are impatient, inconsistent, and “all or nothing”
Sorry to be the one to say it but too many people think if they diet for 1 week they should drop more weight than they think.

When you lose weight at a healthy rate…it’s slow .5-2lbs a week of pure body fat is ideal!
So if you want to lose 20lbs of body fat that would take you 20-40 weeks! 20-40 Weeks of CONSISTENT work!
20-40 Weeks of being 100%! If you comply 50% it would take double the time!

This is why we teach our clients how to make this a lifestyle. This is why we give them educational courses and explain to them these hard truths!
So
If you are unhappy with how you look despite your efforts you need to take a good look in the mirror and these 4 big things.

152 Diets! Personal Trainer in Long island talks about which diet is best

152 ᴅɪꜰꜰᴇʀᴇɴᴛ ᴅɪᴇᴛꜱ!!!

Did you know that the average person over their life does 152 different diets!!

That averages out to around 3 per year when you become an adult!

What does this tell us?

It tells us that most people jump from diet to diet looking for a long-term solution.

The problem is most diets are not set up to be a long-term solution!

Do you really think the keto diet was designed to followed for eternity? No!

Sure you can follow it for some time but I promise it’s not sustainable forever! I mean seriously do you think you could never have another slice of pizza again?!

The problem is these diets don’t even work short term…the issue occurs during the “rebound” phase…this is the point where people get comfortable and start gaining the weight back…how many people that you know who swore by a “diet” only to see them a couple of months later heavier than ever!

Stop trying to look for “another diet” to follow and just join us in learning EXACTLY how to eat for life!

The best personal trainers in long island teach you how to make nutrition a lifelong habit! So you never have to jump from diet to diet again!

Cardio will not help you lose weight

I mean… you could be doing cardio or you could be lifting weights!
All joking aside, cardio is good for the heart, but if we’re talking in terms of fat loss and keeping and growing muscle, and heart health we all know resistance training is the key to success!
So many people will start their fitness journey with hours of cardio and NO weight training. We say the opposite is the way to go! Focus on building muscle and getting stronger without the hours spent on a machine or running to lose fat and you will be MUCH more successful. Not to mention, weight training will make you boot just look and feel better, but it can increase your quality of life… meaning things can become easier and you can enjoy your life outside of the gym more!
Questions on cardio vs weight training?
