5 Celebrity Fitness Secrets For A Great Beach Body

Summer is officially here.  The clothes are coming off as we go to the beach or pool, and people want to look their best.  So we had award winning Washington, DC personal trainer Josef Brandenburg compile 5 secrets that celebrities use to create and keep amazing beach bodies:

#1.  Marissa Miller – Don’t drink your calories: Marissa told Cosmo “I hadn’t had soda in about five years, and I came home to find this thing in the fridge that rolls soda cans out like a dispenser.  I’m like, ‘What are you doing to me?’” referring to her husband’s new soda dispenser.

“There are almost no beverages with calories that aren’t just pure sugar – juice included.  Sugar spikes insulin and insulin makes you tired, fat and hungry,” says Brandenburg.

#2. Jason Statham… click here to read the rest of the 5 celebrity fitness tips (free as a press release).

Josef’s Cooking Show: Low Carb Pineapple & Cream Crepes

When I was on vacation Prague a few weeks ago me and my fiance discovered this really amazing, relatively healthy dessert that is popular over there.  So, when I got home I had to figure out how they did it.  I did, and its actually very simple and easy.  The real time video is only 90sec!

Ingredients
1-2 oz mascarpone                                                 125-250 kcal (.5-1g carb)
2 oz super thin slices of pineapple                     27 kcal (5g carb)

Instructions

1. Cut off top and bottom and sides of pineapple, and place in freezer for 10-15min.  With a very sharp knife and careful technique, or preferably a mandolin (you can find one for a good price online), slice 2oz of pineapple.  This should yield 3-4 thin slices.

2.  Take half the mascarpone and put into center of pineapple, and roll around.  Enjoy!

Q & A: How Can I Get Fit At Home?

Question:

Josef (spelled right!)-

I just came across your website. I unfortunately do not live near the DC area. I am

wondering what you could recommend for me. I am a new mom that wants to lose at
least 30lbs. Do I need to belong to a gym for this (which I don’t have a lot of time
for) or is there an at home program that you could recommend?

Answer:

You definitely do not need to be a gym member to get back into pre-pregnancy shape.  While I do think that people (especially men) will get into better shape overall at a gym, you can still get a lot done at home.  So, if it comes down to a choice between not working out all and working out at home only, you can choose the home gym and get great results there.

As for what to put into a home gym, I laid that out in this blog post – you can create a great gym for less than $150!  No $2,000 treadmill or elliptical machine needed!

And for the program that I would recommend for your home fitness odyssey that would be Turbulence Training by Craig Ballantyne – its 3 x 45min workouts that you can do completely at home with minimal equipment.  If you are short on time and could only manage 2.5hrs/week, then this will get you the most bang for you buck.  There are programs that can get faster results, but this seems like it fits your life the best.

He’s doing a special $5 promotional trial right here.  You can try it out for 21days for $5 and decide if its right for you.
