How to Track Homemade Juices! Ninja NeverClog Cold Press Juicer Review!
Ninja Juicer Before I get into some formulas and how to track homemade juices, I want to spotlight the Ninja juicer. I have been using it for well over a year, and it's amazing. The juicers I used in the past were a pain to clean! It's very easy to set up and operate. I honestly give it a 9/10. It's extremely useful. Juicer Gallery Measurements Once again, it all comes back to the food scale! If you want to track your macros, become a great baker, and be good at meal portioni

Tracking Meal Preps. Adding Custom Recipes.
Have you ever decided to meal prep but didn't know how to track it? If you are used to logging one meal at a time, it may be slightly confusing, but I promise it's not that bad. If you are cooking for one, remember to use a food scale and check the nutrition label to adjust serving sizes accordingly. For this example, I will be tracking a pot of spaghetti! First, navigate to the home dashboard. Usually, you would hit the plus button to track a meal. To access this feature, cl

In-Person Training!
I saw this photo of personal training the other day, and I wanted to briefly discuss in-person training and how it's changed over the years! Years ago, if you were discreet about it, you could train a few clients occasionally. That will not fly in 2024. It's illegal for many reasons but is mainly a safety hazard. Also, every gym has its own staff of personal trainers. I've spent years building a fitness community. I can't just decide to start one-on-one training at Planet Fit

NEW Add-On Program. Monday Motivation.
Happy Monday! This will be short and sweet. For training programs, I added a new dumbbell + kettlebell add-on program! You won't need a bench to complete these sessions. You can complete from home or at the gym. Gyms are starting to get busier so if the machines are taken you can always have a back up session. If you have an assigned workout on the calendar but you can't complete you can delete it and choose a workout from the kettlebell button. I'm also adjusting some push-p

Workout Routine Update. Quick PSA.
I recently made changes to all routines! Fitness centers, gyms, and home routines will be under the PPL format! PPL stands for Push-Pull-Legs! I'm able to break this split into 3, 4, and 5 days. The other two days can be split into cardio and core training or additional upper and lower body training sessions. Also, for the name of the new workouts they will vary. When I'm creating workouts I can't repeat the same title. For example, if I name a workout "Push Day" and it's mad

Workout of The Day!
The other day I gave a s/o to Mary for creating her own workout! In June I created a blog post showing everyone how to do so! I will attach it to the bottom of this post. When you guys have to miss a scheduled workout or don't have time to do a full session it's great to build a session based on the muscle groups you want to train. If you don't have a set schedule, building your own sessions will let me know that you're active and training hard! Also, your weights and cardio

Working Sets.
Good Evening! This will be the quickest blog in history. I wanted to briefly discuss warm-ups, working sets, and cool-downs. I'm changing programs so you guys can get the most benefits. Everyone's end goal is to prevent injury, build muscle, eliminate body fat, and build better habits. That all starts with having structure. You do not have to run a mile before lifting weights!

Workout Splits.
Happy Monday. I hope you guys had a relaxing and fun Cinco de Mayo! I'm currently updating working splits and programs. This change will affect home workouts and gym programs.

Meal Tracking. Cooked vs Raw.
There's no right or wrong way of tracking your food. The only thing that you could do wrong is track cooked food as raw calories. Food packages contain calories for the product in the packaged state. For example, the calories on a package of ground beef are for raw meat. This goes for all beef, poultry, and seafood. A serving size is 4 ounces. For fat loss, I prefer this 92% lean beef. The macros are great. Remember that fat = flavor. However, with 73% & 80%, you will get mor

Healthy Fats.
Depending on how long you’ve been on my app, you may have had a daily habit that says, “Eat healthy fats.” You may be thinking what does that exactly mean? This doesn’t apply to everyone, but I noticed about 70% of my clients over the years have struggled with getting enough protein and not going over the daily amount of fat that I have set! Now your nutrition goals are not set in stone. I can always make adjustments! We will go through a cut, maintenance, and bulk, depending
