Cardio Doesnt Work
There’s a reason you don’t see even one piece of cardio equipment in our gym......
We only do the stuff that works!
I know it’s a bold statement and some of you will shake your head and say “but cardio is important!”
Yes but remember two things
1. Cardio just means keeping your heart rate elevated for a period of time. Heavy and fast weight training sessions will get it pumping just as high as your mediocre spin session
2. Cardio takes hours to burn any real calories. And let’s face it it’s extremely boring and time consuming.
Weight training burns calories, builds muscles and increases metabolism all at once. Plus causes you to burn more calories at rest when you are doing nothing.
Why would you waste time and energy doing hours of cardio to achieve fat loss when proper weight training and diet will cover all that?

| Many other personal trainers on Long Island can be seen doing really “cool” workouts that make fitness fun and exciting. Me I personally focus on the things that work to get results. That’s a completely different topic we will cover at another time. So why would I ever make my clients climb things in the park? Is it because it’s a good workout? No Is it because it’s fun? No Is it because it will burn fat? Nope It’s because it pushes them outside of their comfort zone! You see all the things that you do not have yet that you want in life are on the other side of your comfort zone. The only way to strengthen this muscle like any other muscle is to constantly challenge it. Fitness, health, strength, fat loss, they are all on the other side of your comfort zone. You better get used to stepping outside of it if you want to get what you want out of yourself and in life! Even the best personal trainer near you cannot do this for you. You must look at yourself and decide you are going to get what you want! No go get it! | |
| The reason we do is because TRUE fat loss can never be made with these “30 lbs in 30 days” gimmicks. Sure you can starve yourself and lose a ton of water weight, stored carbohydrates and even muscle mass....but is that what you really want? To end up looking 30lbs smaller and “skinny fat” with no muscle? An example of “fat loss” looks like comes from our client Mike Mike was 220 just 3 months ago and now he’s down to just under 206 and still going. That’s 14 lbs in 3 months but it’s right around 1-1.5ls ever week. At that rate Mike has been able to maintain muscle and strength and also drop purely body fat. These are the changes that you look at a person and say wow you look great! Looks great after the fact but mikes weight loss was not linear. He actually gained some weight during this transformation as one week his weight was higher than the previous on multiple occasions. The main factor is however that his weight trended down overall. It’s so important to just keep going. Weight loss is never linear and expecting it to be is a recipe for failure. Ps. If your looking to work with the best personal trainer on Long Island. Look no further than AB Fitness Center! |  |

You cant do this alone
| “I know what to do at the gym and I know what to eat I don’t need a trainer” You can’t do this alone...I can promise you that Having a trainer isn’t just about having someone counting reps...you don’t want just a trainer You need two major things to get results: 1. A Fitness Family to help celebrate the wins 2. An Accountability system I promise you that you can have the best workout plan or diet in the world but if you don’t follow anything on the plan it’s useless...so trying to do this by yourself will only lead to more of the same: more frustrations higher chance of quitting higher chance of your old clothes never fitting again! My team and I will never let you feel alone in your journey on the days you want to quit...we are there on the days you don’t want to go...we are there on the days you feel frustrated and in a slump...we are there to pull you out of it On the days you don’t feel like pushing yourself...we are there to help you do 1 more rep And when the day comes when your old jeans fit again...we are there to celebrate that with you too! So you see it’s not about “I know how to workout” it’s all about “I now have the accountability this time and I have been consistently going for months, I have never felt better” |  |

I am so proud of all of who entered. everyone did great and I think the goal of jump starting everyones results worked because even though we can only select 3 winners we have seen most of them lose more fat after the contest I want to start out by saying I have 4 honorable mentions who missed 3rd place by 1 point! Shout out to Noelle Nole-Vogel Paula Punis Kreinbihl Paul Wasek and Charlie Powell Proud of you 4!

In 2nd place Losing a total of 3% bodyfat 12 inches total 3 inches off the Waist Tara Buonocore Rut Husband and wife team!! In first place Losing 4% Bodyfat 14 total inches 3 off the Hips Sabrina Galeotafiore!!!! They accomplished all this in 30 days! That right 30 days...working out between 2-3x per week for 30 minutes only! They did this by focusing on weight training with big compound movements, eating carbs and get this ZERO cardio!!! As you all can see this contest has nothing to do with weight lost on the scale it has to do with losing real fat!
