Annd' there is a lot more where this SWOD came from if you want to get into great shape, then you need a great plan. I can design and deliver your custom year-round program that you can take with you to your gym, fitness center, home gym, no gym at all or club. Start for FREE today! Click here and fill out the brief contact form to get your program today! A big thank you to our partners for allowing me to give you this free SWOD  today so without further ado, Let's Rock!
-Coach Nate (aka The BeastMaster)





Today's SWOD is from US Sports Online Strength and Conditioning's General Fitness menu:

 General Fitness Workouts

General Fitness Programs are designed for overall health and the achievement of a leaner, stronger body. Choose between the standard General Fitness Programs or the Dumbbell Oriented General Fitness Programs. The Balanced Dumbbell GF EXPRESS Programs offer a shorter workout for those busier times when you simply can't spend as much time in the gym. They are also great for those who physically respond better to a program with less overall volume. 



Throughout the length of the General Fitness programs, the manipulation of the sets and repetitions for each exercise will be based on periodization concepts that involve changing the intensity and the volume of the workout. 

As with all of the programs, the starting point of the workout is based on an initial fitness level. With feedback, the actual progression of the program will follow the body's unique adaptation process to exercise. 

Fine tune the program to include all the exercises that feel best! To maximize the reduction of body fat it is recommended that some cardiovascular exercise be worked into the weekly training schedule. Have fun and get healthy!


This SWOD is Day 1 Of The:
2 Day Dumbbell General Fitness EXPRESS!
The Weights, Sets, And Reps, are originally designed for a specific athlete, please adjust any portion of the workout to meet your present fitness levels. In other words, work hard and work smart!

The Cold, Hard Truth About Cellulite

In the fitness world, this is often a hot-button issue.
Here is the shocker Athletes and Warriors, that mysterious term "Muscle tone" and even more mysterious "Skin tone" are brother and sister.
The more dense (not big) and active your muscle mass, then your skin will slowly and gradually follow suit. Its just another truth that no gimmick, magic cream, pill, or fad can get around. Now I turn the floor over to the smart folks in lab coats who are really smart so please pay attention to them! :)
And we will have a funeral in a few months for that cellulite that intruded on your body many years ago.

The Cold, Hard Truth About Cellulite
(From Prevention Magazine,) - Are there any proven methods for getting rid of cellulite? Many people lose weight but the dimples won't go away. Do cellulite creams really work?

In reality, money spent on cellulite creams would be better spent on a set of dumbbells or a health club membership.

The active ingredient in cellulite creams is usually an asthma drug called aminophylline or theophylline. The theory is that these chemicals break fat molecules down into fatty acids, which are then excreted through the bloodstream. But, according to dermatologist Zoe D. Draelos, MD of Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, NC, "What works in a lab dish hasn't been proven to work on women's legs (or anywhere else on her body)."

Also, human skin is effectively designed to keep things out; it would be very difficult to get the active ingredients in these thigh creams to reach the fat cells just by rubbing them in.

Exercise and a healthy, low-fat diet are the best ways of combating cellulite. Losing weight can help too, but only if you're doing it healthfully -- no crash dieting. That may actually make cellulite look worse, because crash dieting can cause you to lose muscle tone. If you aren't exercising, start now, and make sure you include strength training exercise like weight lifting to shape and tone your muscles. That will help those trouble spots start looking better.

Best. Exercise. Ever.

Wait! Don’t just skim down to see which exercise I’ve labeled as the best, get the whole story…
Nate Training Jay2.jpg
That's me watching my boi "Biggie Shortie White" do his best exercise ever. The dumbbell shoulder press


I’m often approached and asked to pin down a single exercise as the one that will help lose the most fat and tone the quickest. That’s not an easy question to answer.

Check out yours truly doing my personal Best Exercise Ever

You see, I’m very aware of the fact that though an exercise may be perfect for Cindy, it may not be the best choice for Bob—hence my hesitation to label any exercise as the universal best.

That being said, some exercises are definitely better than others. And, yes, there are even a few that I would call the best.

What makes an exercise the best?

When you decide which exercises to include in your routine, it is important to consider the type of movement involved. The simpler the movement, the fewer calories you’ll burn and the fewer muscles you will strengthen. On the other hand, the more complex the movement, the more calories you will burn and the more muscles you will strengthen.

To put it simply, exercises that use complex movements will deliver better results than exercises that use only simple movements. Complex movements recruit multiple muscles, some to stabilize and others to perform the movement. This process keeps your heart rate higher than a simple exercise would, giving you a more intense workout.

What is a complex movement?

A complex movement is a multi-joint movement that recruits large portions of the body to complete the exercise. Let’s compare a simple movement leg exercise with a complex movement leg exercise:

The leg extension machine uses a simple, isolated movement to work the quadriceps. You’re in a seated position moving only your knee joint. There isn’t much involvement, if any, from other muscles and it doesn’t burn very many calories.

Now let’s look at a free weight walking lunge. You start by standing with your feet together and a dumbbell in each hand at your sides (or a barbell across your shoulders, or a medicine ball held at your chest, or even with no weight at all). You take a large step forward and lower your back knee, keeping your front knee at a 90 degree angle. Now you push off your front foot and pull your back leg forward, repeating the movement.

How many muscles did you utilize while performing the lunge? Probably too many to count.

You certainly worked your quadriceps, gluteus, hamstrings, calves, abdominals, supporting muscles in your shoulders, arms and back—just to name a few. You also raised your heart rate and really kicked your metabolism into high gear. That’s what I call a great exercise.

Other ways to increase intensity

Using complex movements are just one of many ways to kick your workout intensity up a notch. Try incorporating a Super Set into your routine. To do so simply perform two or more exercises in a row and then take a short rest.

Or how about a Compound Set? Perform one exercise, rest, then perform an exercise with opposing body parts. To find exercises that compliment one another, choose ones that have similar but opposite motions such as a chest press and a row.

The key to finding the best exercise is to find the ones that bring your workout intensity to a whole new level.

I’d be shortchanging you if I named any exercise as the best. The fact of the matter is that it is a combination of changing your workouts up, using interval training, and even some good old cardio that will ultimately see you to your goal.

These methods will help you to burn more calories, increase your metabolic rate, and will stimulate the production of more fat burning and muscle toning hormones. Of course, there is more involved to achieving your fitness goals.

You need to incorporate fat burning into your routine.

You need to consistently challenge yourself during workouts.

You need to take control of your eating habits and to get your diet dialed in.

So what’s the best exercise for you? Find out—call or email me today to schedule your no obligation fitness consultation.

Fitness Model Plan Transforms Dad Body- Ripped in Only 12 Weeks

Athletes and Warriors!
The sound science of fitness that worked in 2016 will work in 2017 and beyond!

Savvy athletes and warriors understand that as long as they are alive, they can take another step forward. Much like the young man in today's feature transformation. Take note of the fact that it took him 2 years to commit once he was convinced that it was not another online scam. Can you identify with that line of thought?

When you run out of excuses and reasons to not take action. All you have left is to act. I pray that today's transformation will inspire at least one person to act and stay in action mode in their fitness progress for life!
-Nate


Lose Weight Dad

Fitness Model Plan Transforms Dad Body- Ripped in Only 12 Weeks

Dan did So Amazing in Only 12 Weeks. Week by week I would see him getting in better shape, losing weight and feeling great.. He dropped 19+ lbs, 6″ off His Stomach and 6+ % Bodyfat!!

Dans Stats

Week 1-

Weight- 190.7 lbs

Waist- 37″

Bodyfat%- 16.33%

Week 12

Weight- 171.3 lbs

Waist- 31″

Bodyfat%- 9.91%



Dan’s Story

I came across the Hitch Fit website a few years ago and always thought the results were too good to be true and that is was another online scam. Despite my initial impressions, I was still curious, then one day I recognized an old work colleague on the website and this then gave me the reassurance Hitch FIt was the real deal. It still took me a couple more years to finally commit, I was always concerned how I would manage the requirements of the program around my shift work and family life, but I am glad I finally did, my only regret was putting off the decision for so long.

Micah is very clear at the beginning of the program, you need to be 100% committed to changing your life. I can only reinforce this point, the program is tough, it does impact your lifestyle, your family, and your kids. However, 12 weeks is such a short period of time in your life to ensure you are the fittest and best version of yourself you can be. The effort required to complete the program is worth every bead of sweat and every ounce of pain, as you will NEVER look back once you complete the program.

Fit Dad

The first week was brutal, I struggled with the volume of exercise and my body struggled to recover, but as time went by all the unnecessary wasteful things I was doing at home, like watching TV, especially watching nothing in particular became not so important and this freed up time for exercise or food prep. The results as very quick, even at the end of the first week, (despite giving up coffee) I noticed increased energy levels, consistent energy levels, and improved sleep length and quality.

Well the day finally came to see my progress from week one, I was apprehensive, I had worked so hard during the week I did not see any difference in the mirror and did not want to be disappointed. I stepped on the scales, well was I surprised, I had lost 3.3 lbs in the first week, whilst some of this is probably water weight, I continued to lose weight and inches every week, in numbers I would never have expected to be maintained.

Week five came along and I hit a hurdle, I injured my back and couldn’t move for two days, I was flat on my back in bed. I thought the week was going to be a write off, the world was working against me to stop me completing the program. I sought treatment and rested for the two days and managed to continue the program for the remainder of the week.

“I found the program interesting and the changing weight program every four weeks, helped keep the motivation levels high.”

12 weeks to awesome

Another challenge I found was the nutrition plan, whilst I generally enjoy most foods, I have never enjoyed or even liked oatmeal. It was a real struggle for me and the beginning of the program, well it’s amazing what 12 weeks does, as it is now my preferred breakfast, even after finishing the program.

The program is both physically and mentally exhausting, my main advice to anyone contemplating the program, trust yourself, commit to the journey, commit to becoming the best version of yourself, and trust the program. You will have highs and low through the program, enjoy the highs, work hard through the lows. You will have obstacles, these are to test you, not to stop you. The results and benefits are worth every bit of energy you expend on the program.

Regards

Dan

Try These Fatigue-Fighting Foods

Have trouble getting started in the morning?
Feel sluggish in the afternoon?
Ready to crash come evening?
You're not alone.

Many people, especially women, are constantly suffering from a lack of energy. Fatigue can be caused by a number of different factors, but for many people, poor nutrition is to blame.

Since food is the body's fuel, how well you're able to perform during the day may be directly related to what foods you fill up with during meal and snack time.

When it comes to energy levels, foods and drinks that play the biggest role are carbohydrates, protein, water, and caffeine.

Here's how to include them in your diet:

Carbs for Energy
Your body needs some carbs. Yes, you heard it right. Carbs!

A combination of complex and simple carbs is what to aim for to get maximum benefit. Complex carbs are slower to burn and include foods like whole grains and starchy vegetables (squash, potatoes, carrots, and pumpkin). Whole grains that are high in fiber are what you need for sustained, long-lasting energy. Look for bread that contains two to three grams of fiber per slice.

For a healthy dose of simple carbs, stick with fresh, whole fruits.

Protein for Stamina
While carbs supply energy, protein is responsible for releasing the energy.

Protein is also essential for cell growth, the transport of nutrients and hormones through the body, healthy muscles, and a properly working immune system.

Be sure to eat a source of protein at each meal, whether lean meat, fish, poultry, beans, eggs, soy, nuts, or low-fat dairy.

Water for Refreshment
Essential to survival, water is also essential for energy.

When you consider that two-thirds of your body is made of water, you're reminded how important water is to health and wellness. Water helps to control your temperature, helps you digest food, lubricates your organs, and plays a major role in creating energy molecules.

If you're depleted of water, you probably feel depleted of energy. If you're dehydrated, you'll feel completely dragged out. Without enough water, your body will work overtime to re-hydrate itself instead of producing energy.

Caffeine for Stimulation
Caffeine is a stimulant that works by exaggerating the effects of your natural hormones, causing your heart to beat faster and your breathing to increase, making you feel more alert.

Perhaps you're one of the millions of people who drink one or more cups of coffee in the morning. If so, you know the powerful effect caffeine has to jumpstart your energy level.

Besides coffee, caffeine is also found in tea, sodas, herbs, and chocolate. Be aware that too much caffeine can make you feel jittery, interfere with your sleep, and cause dehydration.

Additional Tips
Keep in mind that overeating, no matter what food, may cause sluggishness.

Instead of three large meals, try eating several small meals (don't forget breakfast!) throughout the day to give you constant bursts of energy.

Too much alcohol or a vitamin deficiency is often to blame for low energy levels. For women, a dragged out feeling could be caused by anemia (low iron) due to their monthly menstruation.

If you still feel fatigued and lethargic after eating a well-balanced diet, contact a food professional or your physician. Stress, medications, diseases, sleep problems, or lack of exercise may be to blame, and getting these under control will get your energy level back where it belongs.

One of the most proven ways to increase your energy levels is to participate in a consistent, challenging exercise program.

My passion is to help people, just like you, improve their energy levels and their overall quality of life.

Call or email me today to get started on a fitness plan that will put some pep in your step.

Before and After Weight Loss of Friends!

One of the most fun, challenging parts of my work is convincing many who struggle with excess body fat that what you "have always done" will never work. You can just simply see evidence by the fact that you have to go back to the same cycle of up and down weight loss and weight gain.
This unfortunate cycle fools the body into thinking that its starving and makes it harder and harder for you to lose body fat. Whether its January 2, April 2, or September 2, which are the typical months that many people rush to gyms, fitness studios, kick boxing classes and the like to start another failed weight loss cycle.

I know you are smarter than that. As you check out today's transformation; take note of how these fabulous young ladies changed their minds bout fitness long before their bodies show said change.

I am crazy proud of today’s transformation story Sabrina! This gorgeous gal has known about Hitch Fit for quite some time, as she is friends with our very own Brandi Wisdom. She’s also an AVID Kansas City Royals fan!! She knew that she needed to make some healthy changes, but she also knew she had to wait until she was ready for it. So that is what she did. When the Royals won the World Series in 2015, she knew that it was also her time to..”get off the bench”. Sabrina did the 12 Week Hitch Fit Online Weight Loss Planand shed 33 pounds in that time frame as well as 10% body fat. She’s got a busy travel schedule, so figuring out how to make healthy choices on the go, was new territory, but she discovered that it was absolutely doable!! So proud of you Sabrina! Proud of you for embracing this new lifestyle and setting yourself up for a healthier future, and proud of you for sharing your story to inspire so many others!!

Sabrina’s Story:

“I was super skinny in high school then gained weight along the road through college and beyond. I know the weight gain stemmed from a deeper issue with comments from family members but I could never stop the process. I quickly became the funny girl with a pretty face. I never lacked confidence and never saw myself as others did which allowed me to keep on moving on the same road of not taking care of myself or being serious about losing weight.

I tried many other programs to lose weight. I was never committed to them and it never stayed off. We all know the yo-yo dieting. About 2 years ago I started talking to my friend Brandi Wisdom about the programs offered at Hitch Fit. We discussed at length, during Royals baseball, about being mentally ready how I wouldn’t be able to eat cheese and all the other things I could come up with NOT to take the leap. I kept thinking I would do something during the winter while my schedule slowed down but I just stayed “on the bench” and pondered when it was my time “at the plate”. FINALLY, the Royals won the World Series and I thought to myself now it is my turn to win. I called up Brandi and told her I was ready, mentally. It took me a bit to realize that doing the online program was actually going to be best when I had structure in my life and the only time that happens is when it is baseball season.

I started my online program right after the Home Opener and decided that there is NEVER a good ‘start’ day. I am super busy never at home. Online worked best for me because I travel. Yes, travel. For the first month of my program I was gone more than I was home. I packed a cooler with all my essentials and carried it to the East Coast, to Chicago, to Atlanta and to Royals games. Diana kept me on point for those trips giving me tips on how to succeed when there isn’t much to choose from at work conferences.

The things that surprised me the most were those that were my supporters and non-supporters. Making a change in your life really gives you clarity on who is on your team. I am a social eater. I sincerely appreciate all those that didn’t force me to a pizza joint but instead chose a fresh fish joint instead. Those small decisions make all the difference in the world when you are working to make yourself healthier and fit!

During my journey people kept asking me what my goal was. My response was always “Not to eat cheese for 12 weeks, not to hurt anyone because I can’t eat cheese and after that we will see what happens.” Now I have to find a seamstress to take in all my favorite shorts and jeans! I am not going to stop here… this is a new way of thinking about food and exercise.

I want to thank Brandi Wisdom for being the most supportive of all my friends. She has the biggest heart and knows how to tell you what you need to hear (good and bad) when you need to hear it!”

I have always had a love affair with food! I seem to associate events in my life with the meals that I have had. My story starts with the summer of 2012 when I completely lost all sort of will power. Just like many I was going through many things in my life and I was turning to food for comfort. I was dining at Church’s Chicken two or three times a week. I would consistently find myself getting a sausage croissant breakfast sandwich, a chocolate long john and a 44 oz. Coke for breakfast at QuikTrip at least twice a week. It all came to a head when I was planning for a business trip to Hawaii and realized that all my dress pants wouldn’t fit!!! I had to go and get some new ones before I left for the trip. I was devastated as the pants I had to buy where size 54.

Although I had been active trying to get in my 10,000 steps a day on my FitBit pedometer my company so generously outfitted me with, I was failing. I was out of control!

While I was in Hawaii for two weeks I promised to start getting in shape and set a goal to walk at least 10,000 steps a day while I was there. I walked everywhere over those next two weeks and was surprised by how many steps I actually logged. I walked over 165,000 steps and 85 miles! I thought I was on my way to a better me. Alas once I got home I was once again reintroduced to my daily life and once again fell back into eating to self-medicate.

Lucky for me around the October/November time frame I saw one of the guys I had grown up with being featured on HitchFit.com. Tim Smith was able to take off over 80 lbs. using the HitchFit system so I reached out to him to see if it might be something for me. I mean what do I have to lose other than the weight and if Tim did it surely I could do it to. I was really inspired by Tim’s story and decided on Cyber Monday in 2012 to sign up for the 36-week Lose Weight program.

I remember vividly the first day of the program. I weighed in at a whopping 378.6 lbs. The heaviest I have ever been. I was driven to succeed at this so I followed Micah’s directions to a T. I ate all my meals and snacks and was completely satisfied by the small meals I was having. My first workout, let’s just say that I don’t wish to ever have to work out at 378.6 lbs. again. The workout took me 3.5 hours to complete the entire work out. I remember coming home and promising my wife that I never wanted to work out at that weight ever again! From there I would make it a game to see how much time I could shave off my work out or how I could burn more calories in less time while doing cardio.



Another factor in my weight loss is that my job takes me all over the United States. It doesn’t help your waistline when you are constantly eating foods high in fat, sugar and salt from restaurants. In order for this to work I found myself booking hotels that had kitchens and workout facilities. On Sunday night, when I would arrive to my destination I would seek out a local grocery store and buy my food for the entire week. I thought when I first started the program the hardest time I would have would be on the road. As I found out it was actually easier being on the road as I had complete control of my schedule and my meals!

Where I had difficulty was at home. I have a wonderful supportive wife and daughter and was getting ready to welcome the newest member of our family in December. It wasn’t easy but I was able to drop the weight.

I often remind myself how far I had come in those 36 weeks by taking two 40 lbs. dumbbells and walk around the gym with them. I can’t believe I had been carrying that extra weight for over 10 years. Now I am happier and healthier and looking forward to the next step in my journey. Thanks HitchFit for getting me back to a newer, healthier version of myself!

matt Front Final

I just finished my last week of lose weight feel great and all I can say is WOW!!!!. It has been awesome. It was all I hoped for and more. I have to admit I was a little skeptical when my wife and I started but I am a hitchfit believer now. I have always considered myself to be a healthy person but now at 42 I feel better than I did at 22. When I turned 35 I was feeling out of shape so I started running and became an avid runner and ran marathons and ultra marathons ( 50 mile foot races) about a year ago I injured my ankle which prevented me from running so I was starting to feel a little out of shape. Thats when I discovered Hitch Fit while searching the internet for a workout program. I saw the before and after photos and decided to give it a try. I cannot believe how well it worked.

Matt Side Final

I made up my mind I was going to stick to it and once I started seeing the results I had all the motivation I needed. It was a total package that covered everything I wanted to know: Diet, exercise, and weekly personal contact with you. When I first started you told me I could reach my goal of 10% body fat but I would have to lose close to 20 pounds. I actually thought you were crazy. There was no way I could lose 20 pounds. I thought I was “fit” . Now 16 weeks later Ive lost 19 pounds and Im the leanest I have been since I wrestled and ran track and cross country in high school. Im now 7% Body fat which I thought I would never see again. I feel great. I have more energy, Im stronger and know how to eat to stay where Im at. I only wish I knew this 20 years ago. I can actually wear the same clothes I wore as a high school wrestler over 20 years ago. Thank you so much for an awesome program. For those who think they don’t have time I can tell them its possible. I have 6 very active kids ranging from 2-15, run a very busy family business and volunteer 10-15 hours a week with my responsibilities at church. Its something that just works if you commit to do it. Thanks for all you help.

1 Month Post Transformation Update

HITCH FIT IS ABOUT LASTING RESULTS!!!

Its been a month since I finished my lose weight feel great program and I just wanted to give you a update. I was worried how my body would react when I adjusted my diet but its been awesome. Ive added some fruit but basically eat the same and love how I feel every day. I haven’t gained any weight. I just stay right where I was. I could not be happier with my results. The best part is Ive run two races since I finished and I feel better than I did when I was running marathons and training 6 days a week and running 50-60- miles a week. I ran a race with my daughter last tuesday and I kept waiting to hit the “wall”. It never happened. I either didn’t hit the wall or I ran right through it. I felt healthier and stronger than I have since high school. This week I was pretty proud when my 14 year old son told his friends that his dad has a six pack.
