HOW TO GET LEAN! The 7 simple things you can start doing today to build the body of your dreams!
1 - Increase the intensity of your cardio workouts and switch up your resistance training program. You have to bump up your cardio...you can do that by increasing the duration, speed or intensity. Take your cardio up a notch and watch the fat melt off our body. ;) Same with your resistance training program. How long have you been doing the same exercises in the same order with the same weights? Change it up! Dropsets, supersets, change the number of reps, change the exercises you are doing. Shake things up! Make those muscles work!!!
2- Want lean muscle? Eat protein. As simple as that. ;) Guys...make sure you are consuming 1.5-2 grams of protein per pound of body weight. Girls...you are going to want to try and hit 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight.
3- Limit your consumption of fruit to 2 servings a day. Yes, fruit is good for you but, fruit also has a lot of sugar and calories. Most people rely too heavily on fruit for snacks and as part of their meals. Eat more veggies and lean protein and less fruit. No more than 2 servings a day.
4- No carbs or sugar after 3 pm. If you think about it...what snacks are you reaching for late afternoon, early evening and worst of all, midnight? Carbs and sugar. When our energy is low and our hunger levels are high, we tend to crave carbs and sugar. Definitely not the way to go if you want to get lean. By establishing a cutoff time and staying away from carbs and sugar in the evening, you will not only see the muscle definition you want, you will also notice your cravings start to dissipate.
5- Dry out and ditch the booze. Not only is alcohol full of empty calories, it also lowers your inhibitions, decreases your ability to burn fat and decreases the quality of your sleep. If you want to get lean, you absolutely have to eliminate or decrease the amount of alcohol you consume.
6- Make sure you are drinking enough water...64-96 ounces a day. Water is essential. You need to be hydrated in order for your muscles to work properly. If you are not drinking enough water it will decrease your metabolism and you will burn less calories. Drink up! It makes a difference!
7 - Sleep. There is no way around it! If you want a healthy, lean physique, you absolutely have to make sure you are getting enough sleep every night. You need to give your body a chance to recover and repair your muscles so you are ready to take on your workouts the next day. It also regulates the hormones associated with weight gain and fat storage. Too little sleep can cause your body to produce a hormone called cortisol. Google it. ;) Lack of sleep is directly related to increased belly fat and weight gain. It is not about hitting snooze. ;) It is making sure you go to bed early to give your body the proper amount of sleep it needs to build those beautiful muscles and rejuvenate your body!
Let's do it! Start making these changes today and you absolutely can have a lean, sculpted, beautiful body!

FOX 31 News Interview/Exercise is the Best Beauty Fix
Here is my most recent interview with Shaul Turner and Fox 31 News Denver. She has been so awesome to work with! Love that she is helping get the message out about how important exercise and good nutrition are. For this segment, she was asking me about the beauty benefits of exercise. You all know that if you look pretty at the end of a workout, you didn’t work hard enough right? ;) But, how amazing is it that exercise is one of the best things you can do to keep your hair long and shiny, your nails strong and your skin tight, firm and glowing. When you workout, you stimulate the flow of blood to your hair, skin and nails. By increasing blood flow, exercise helps nourish your cells and keep them vital. Working out also helps remove toxins from your body, getting rid of waste and giving you a healthy glow!
Check it out when you get a chance! Thanks Shaul!

OBSTACLES INTO OPPORTUNITIES
Forgot your gym shoes at home. Snow storm. Stuck in a hotel. Babysitter cancelled. Super busy at work. What do you think? OBSTACLES? Yes... OPPORTUNITIES? Maybe.. ;)I am honestly impressed and inspired daily by my amazing clientele and class participants. These guys are HARD CORE. Hard core. They have shown up to train with socks on, Crocs on, even barefoot (ie. forgot your gym shoes at home). I once trained a client in her suit. She forgot her workout clothes, but was determined to get her session in. Awesome! Bad snow storm hits Denver. My clients make it in. My class is still full. I have had class participants rearrange their work schedules around class time. If they have to leave early to make a meeting, they show up, do as much as they can, wipe off their sweat and get back to work. The client story that inspired this blog post happened last week. She was in Vegas for work and determined not to get off track or let her fitness slip. She'll tell you about it...
"To stick to my fitness goals in Vegas and not be defeated by the $20+ gym fee, I packed my running shoes and used the strip to log in 15,000 steps a day. I used a pedometer to keep my motivation and to try to push myself to go further each day. I also took to the hotel stairs, my particular hotel tower had 15 floors and a stair well to go with it, as all do per fire code. I hiked those stairs and when I got to the top I took the elevator down. Back up again, elevator down. Up again, elevator down. Five times, for a total 39 minutes of stair heaven.
The nice part of using the elevator down was that it gave me just enough time to catch my breath before starting the next hike which allowed me to do it more times than I would have otherwise done if I took the stairs down. Each stair workout (which I did two out of the four days I was there) and every other walking day was followed by the regular push-up, crunch and oblique routine I have established.
That is how I met my fitness goals in Vegas. In getting my workouts in, it helped me to make good choices while eating out.
Thanks Emilee for the inspiration and for getting my head back in the game before I took off to Vegas, the week could have gone in a completely different direction."
Seriously awesome! Talk about turning an obstacle into an opportunity!
Life is going to get busy, things are going to happen. How you handle it and what you choose to do makes all the difference. Stay focused and get creative! Obstacles or opportunities? It is up to you ;) Get to it!

GET INSPIRED 2013...Cindy's Story
Here we are...2013! So excited for New Year's resolutions and the opportunity to help people successfully reach their goals and get the results they want! So curious to know what is behind the resolutions you are making this year... What inspires you to want to change? What motivates you to be healthier? I truly do love being a part of each and every one of my client's journey towards a healthier life. Seeing them succeed is something that motivates and inspires me! I have been working with Cindy since September and it has been awesome! She is an amazing testament to what you can achieve with determination and commitment to change. If any of you think you are too busy to get in shape. Let this girl prove you wrong. ;) Cindy finds the time to get her workouts in and prepare healthy meals in addition to raising two kids and running a busy and successful business. Did I say busy? Make that very busy! ;) She is making it happen and I am so proud of her! Each week, she continues to shed pounds, inches and fat. She is getting stronger, has more energy and is leaving the girl we used to know behind! We are just a couple of months in. The pictures on the left were taken in September and the set on the right, just two months later, in mid-November. Stay tuned...she is working hard and not slowing down! Over the next few months, I will continue to post on her progress as well as updated pics. I could not be happier for her! So excited to see where she will take her fitness this year! Here is her story in her own words! CHEERS Cindy! 2013 is going to be a FABULOUS year for you!!!
CINDY SOVINE-MILLER:
"I am a working mother in pursuit of a healthy and sustainable lifestyle and the body that comes with it! I can tell you that you have never met a trainer like Emilee before. She is one of the most positive influences in my life. I started her nutrition and training plan in September of 2012. Nine months after my second baby I still weighed the same as the day I left the hospital.
Since working with Emiliee I have lost 20 pounds and even more in inches. The belly I just assumed I would have to have surgery on some day is noticeably firming and I see the path to a flat stomach! Not only is Emilee a phenomenal trainer: I love my butt, but, she also gives you the tools you need to work through challenges physical or emotional that are keeping you from reaching my weight loss goals. She picks up on it immediately if I get frustrated and gives me ideas and new path suggestions to get to my goals.
Changing habits and lifestyle take time and commitment, but the benefits are endless. Even my husband agrees, Emilee is worth every cent in giving me something that will save me money for the rest of my life; a healthy outlook to go along with my healthy body! This is an investment worth making!"

CAN SMART PHONE APPS HELP YOU LOSE WEIGHT?
I had the awesome opportunity Monday of doing an Interview with Shaul Turner from Fox 31 News Denver. Check it out when you get a chance! :) Really interesting topic! The first study has come out looking at the effects of smart phone apps on weight loss. They found that tracking your exercise and nutrition using a smart phone app is more effective than traditional pen and paper. Participants who used smart phone apps lost an average of 15 pounds more than the pen paper folks. The smart phone app users also worked with a fitness coach and attended nutrition classes. It doesn't surprise me that having a coach available and understanding nutrition were integral to the weight loss. The encouragement, motivation and knowledge you get from working with a fitness professional is so valuable! I have quite a few clients using My Fitness Pal and they love it! Staying accountable and tracking your progress are two things that definitely help you SUCCEED! If you are not using a smart phone app, this might be the perfect time to look into it and see which one suits you best! :)

THINK BEFORE YOU BITE
My original thought for this post was to terrify all of you with staggering statistics about holiday weight gain and the average calories in cocktails, cookies and cheese trays. ;) Fear tactics aren't really my style though. I truly believe that in the end we all do what we WANT to do and what makes us the happiest. SO...with that in mind...I want you all to take a minute and think about what would make you the happiest during the next 6 weeks. Eating too much, drinking too much, sleeping too little, hungover, trying to squeeze your muffin top into your sexy holiday outfit, sluggishly running errands, missing your workouts and stressing out at work??? OR... Eating healthy, staying hydrated, indulging a little, sleeping great, feeling great, looking hot in that little black dress, energized, making those workouts happen, having a blast at the gym, successfully dealing with the time crunch and overwhelming amount of stuff you have to get done??? Sounds good to me ;)
You too? Alright...what I want you to try this holiday season is to THINK BEFORE YOU BITE. What I mean by that, is to stop yourself and think about it before you just mindlessly shove a cookie in your mouth and wash it down with a sugary cocktail. Just because it is there, does not mean it has to go into your mouth. Be mindful of what you are putting into your body and decide if it is something you really want to indulge in or not. Being a little more discerning about how you celebrate this holiday season will make a difference. There are several reasons we eat besides hunger...boredom, stress, lack of energy, cravings, social situations, etc. SO...for the next 6 weeks...think before you bite and see how it goes. Make sure you are eating because you are hungry and that you are putting the best fuel possible in your body. Be aware of what you are eating and drinking and I promise, you will be more energized, less stressed and look amazing when that ball drops. ;) Let me know how it goes! Would love to hear what you turn down at the office and get your feedback from you on this!

KEVIN'S SUCCESS STORY
Read Kevin's success story in his own words:
"Body by Emilee is for real. Before I met Emilee, I weighed 220 pounds, had a 38 inch waist, and got winded walking up the stairs. I could only do two pushups on our first training session. I started training with Emilee just two times per week for one hour. We do a variety of strength and conditioning. My results were so incredible that I hired Emilee to do a nutrition plan for me. Just after a year of training with Emilee, I lost 45 pounds and six (6) inches around my waist! I'm in the best shape of my life and can outperform guys half my age. I thought I would have to spend hours in the gym and eat only lettuce to get into the shape I'm in now. However, with Emilee, she gives you a workout and nutrition plan that you can maintain. If you want to lose weight, feel better, have more energy, and look great, then hire Emilee to be your personal trainer. It will improve your life."
