For my final post of 2012, I thought I’d provide a few workout programs and diet plans that I would recommend for the New Year. As with anything, the program you choose will depend on your ultimate training goals. I’ve tried to include something for everyone here. If you’re looking for some simple free tips, then check out my Best Fitness Tips section where I’ve gathered what I consider to be my most useful articles.

Diet and Exercise Program for the Holiday Season
The most wonderful time of the year is quickly approaching. Unfortunately, it’s also the most dangerous time of the year when it comes to losing focus and falling completely off the diet and exercise bandwagon. I didn’t completely let myself go last year, but I could have achieved even better Visual Impact Muscle Building results if I had a little more restraint. Last year I tried to time my workout schedule so that I would focus on muscle building during the holidays when my calories

Share Your Experience: How Toni Got Into Phenomenal Shape
As a new feature of my blog, I’m encouraging readers to share their fitness experiences and lessons learned along the way to getting into great shape. Up first is Toni, a 40 year old mother who has been a long time reader of my blog. If I go so far as to think of myself as a teacher, I’d consider Toni one of my finest students. I think her story will resonate well with women, especially those who suffer with misinformation and too much broscience as Toni has. There are also useful le

Sample Workout Routine and Diet Plan
So I just stepped on the scale for the first time in over a month. Guess what happened? For all intents and purposes, nothing. My weight was down about 1.5lbs but that could easily be water fluctuations. Body fat and muscles mass were exactly the same. What’s my point…once you reach your goal, you can spend less time obsessing about diet and exercise. Does that mean you give up and start eating like crazy without exercising…absolutely not! It does mean that you have the optio

Weighted Vest Workouts
A couple months ago I decided to buy a weighted vest. It was a purchase that was long overdue. If you’re at the point where you’re doing 20+ reps for bodyweight exercises or would like to burn some extra calories during cardio, then it might be time to perform weighted vest workouts. I’ve been using a 40lb weighted vest to increase the difficulty of pushups, pull-ups, dips, and inverted rows. Obviously I’ve had to significantly reduce the number of reps I’m performing, but that

Reveal the Steel - Interview with Clint Nielsen
Good news for all of you who are looking for a new fitness routine to get ripped…my buddy Clint from Crude Fitness recently released his first book, Reveal the Steel. It’s packed full of diet & nutrition tips, mistakes and misconceptions, and a 4 stage training program. In fact, the vast majority of Clint’s tips are similar to my philosophy, especially the dieting strategies. The training routine is solid as well. It’s highly detailed allowing you to follow it exactly as outlin

Visual Impact Cardio Results – Preliminary Assessment
While I posted my initial Visual Impact Cardio Review a couple months ago, having recently completed the program I can now offer a more complete assessment of some of the highs and lows. Unfortunately I can’t provide a full overview of results since I was using the program to limit fat gain while trying to add muscle. Frankly, given my goals, I could have shelved Visual Impact Cardio until a later time and just adjusted my diet accordingly. However, I was excited to test out a new routin
