Better Habits in Nutrition Meal Planning and Sleep Are Just a Few of the Many Reasons Alex Calvillo Loves Innovative Results

June 26, 2016 by IR Staff 1 Comment

Alex Calvillo Improved her quality of life at Innovative Results - The Orange County Fitness Playground
Improved Quality of Life

Alex Calvillo is special to me.

She really, really, really wanted to make a BIG change in her looks and lifestyle, and she had already lost a lot of weight before coming to Innovative Results.

She worked hard, and focused for a while, but became a bit frustrated with the amount of effort she put in, and the slow changing body.

I had a few deep conversations with her, and we were able to see how far she had come, as well as change her perspective on future outcomes…this is when the BIG IMPROVEMENTS BEGAN TO HAPPEN.

Her physical body continued its slow and steady improvement, but her mindset, attitude, motivation, and energy SKYROCKETED!!!

Since then, she has continued to be a new person mentally, and it has been awesome to read her raving reviews on Yelp!, Facebook, and Google+…as well as get to hear her perspective on fitness training at Innovative Results.

Check out her perspective below:

alex calvillo with three other girls at climbing gymWhen did you start training at Innovative Results?

Why did you start training with Innovative Results?

I was looking for something different than my repetitive, mundane workout routine and a friend told me he thought Innovative Results would be a good fit.

What have you improved since you started training with Innovative Results?

Push ups, sit ups, pull ups, chin ups, squats, deadlifts, rows, and the list goes on.

My mind.

What kept you coming back to Innovative Results?

The coaches and the progressions.

I didn’t have to think about what I was going to be doing for my daily workout because they write it all for you.

So excited to be doing what they’re doing, and it shows.

What Happens When You Are Overeating and Undereating?

April 25, 2016 by ptpt 3 Comments

2014-03-15 07.07.02By Aubrie Pohl

Think about a specific nutrition “rule” or “guideline” you follow.

Where did you learn it?

Was it from someone else or your own experience?

What effects have you noticed?

Were you overeating or undereating?

One of the most frequent requests I receive as a trainer/coach/friend/yogi is to create an exact meal plan one can follow.

If I could calculate the amount of hours I have spent on trying DIFFERENT plans on my own body, it would probably be well over 1,000.

The human balance is in a constant state of chaos.
Something that worked 5 years ago for you, might not even affect you now.

I’ve thought hard about how to summarize the essential tips on how to find a perfect balance in your life between fitness, food, and hydration to make it seem really easy, but I concluded that that’s almost impossible.

What is possible?
Creating a deeper relationship with yourself.

The perfect plan for you might not be completely clear to you at the moment, but with a daily check-in to your own body, you will develop a plan that best suits your needs, energy levels, and lifestyle.

First Things First, Eat Clean.healthy food collage

Our body is only as efficient as the nutrition we supply.

If you are not eating clean, it will be difficult to figure out if you are under fueling or over fueling.

Eat clean FIRST, and usually that will help you tune in to your body’s needs to fuel correctly.

A few major guidelines can help us make steps towards success!

1. Whole, unprocessed foods will deliver the most macronutrients and micronutrients for our system to reach its optimal level.

2. Notice how your body responds after certain foods.

3. Try eliminating gluten for a week, dairy for a week, meat for a week, and focus on how your energy levels change. Sometimes we have food intolerances that we do not even know about!

4. Drink half your weight in ounces of water.

5. Eat out less and cook at home more, where you have complete control of all ingredients and portion sizes.

Eating clean helps your body clean out the processed junk and start fueling on foods that will help you flourish!

Small changes over time WILL add up to make a big difference towards improving your quality of life.

 

Under Fueled and Under-performing

When our body isn’t supplied with enough proper calories (energy) we experience symptoms of under fueling.

Our body fails to thrive.core exercise - sidewinder

Mood changes like irritability, depression, and the inability to concentrate can affect us in our daily lives outside the gym.

During our workouts, every energy system gets drained.

You feel weak.
You can’t last a whole workout without feeling depleted.
You’re losing weight.
The thought of aerobic capacity seems like a monotonous task.
You’ve lost motivation.

These are all signs that your body is not being properly fueled.

 

Over Fueled and Overflow

If our body is prospering from clean foods but reaches its caloric (energy) intake capacity, we will start to experience symptoms of over fueling.

Yes, you can get too much of a good thing.

The energy we put into our bodies and the energy we expend are measured in calories.

You feel heavy and sluggish when you walk.
Your strength increases.
Your aerobic capacity has downgraded and you undergo labored breathing.
You gain weight.

A surplus of calories can help the body increase musculature strength, but giving the body more than it can absorb for energy will keep it functioning sub par overall.

 

A Constant State of Flux

Since we are continuously learning, shifting, developing, and rearranging our lives, our bodies get sent through those same phases.kid stuffing face

Some days might have more movement than others.

Some days may have more rest.

If our lives are full of fluctuations, shouldn’t our diet be the same?

Our bodies will most certainly tell us we should eat more on days with more movement, when we are burning more calories (energy).

On days we rest, we do not need as much food (fuel).

Knowing the difference between hunger, when our body NEEDS fuel, and appetite, when our minds WANTS food, is the key to developing the deeper relationship to our internal world.

Take the time every day to let your thoughts settle, and notice if you have any signs of under fueling or over fueling.

Over time your body will reach a comfortable fuel balance, and you will experience peak performance, enduring energy, and a greater quality of life.

The Story of That Last Little Bit of Fat – Losing the Last Ten Pounds

February 23, 2016 by IR Staff 1 Comment

StressAaaarrgh!!

Why can’t the mirror just make it disappear?

And while I am talking about it, my pants would feel better without it, and don’t even get me started on how my shirts and blouses would fit without it.

When I step on the scale, it is still sitting there, reminding me of everything I don’t want to hear, see, or feel…

I have ten pounds of unwanted, undesirable, and un-removable body fat…I feel like I have tried everything, and it is still there, taunting me with its jiggly, bloated, bulging presence.

love handleHow do I lose the last little bit of fat?

This story has been told by all of us, and even though it feels like the last ten is stuck there forever, this does not have to be the story.

First, let me premise this story with the understanding that there is a necessary and healthy need for body fat, and it helps the male and female body look attractive. I am not here to help the person who is looking to starve and over-train every ounce of fat from their body.

I am here to help the person that truly has ten pounds (or more) of unnecessary body fat, which is doing more harm than good.

I am talking about the knee-pain-inducing, high-blood-pressure-raising,  heart-disease-increasing, depression-promoting, back-breaking ten or more pound of body fat.


We all see the shining light at the end of the tunnel. The shining light is where we have lost the ten pound baggage that has been weighing us down for too long, and now we are free to move, feel, and look amazing!

Fitness boot camp helps people get active

We know it is not going to be easy, and yet for some reason we want to hear someone tell us, “all you have to do, is keep doing what you have been doing, and it will gone.” or “Just do this one exercise for five minutes a day, and that little bit of fat will disappear before your eyes.”

Unfortunately, we all know this is not true, because we have been doing the same thing for (insert insanely long period of time here), and nothing has changed.

We also know that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing, and expecting a different results, yet it is so easy to keep doing our routine. Is that because we are creatures of habit? Yes.

What if we could make a slight change to our habits, and see a HUGE result?

enhanced-buzz-8548-1367336827-9Insert good news emoticon here, because we can!

Time after time at Innovative Results and throughout my time as a fitness trainer and fitness coach, I have seen the longest lasting, biggest transformations–especially with the “last ten pound club”–from those that stay dedicated to making small habit changes for good.

The three simple steps to lose the last ten pounds are record your nutrition intake (to include hydration), twenty minutes of relaxed, focused breathing, and show up consistently to an intelligent fitness training program.

Step 1 – Record Your Nutrition Intake, Which Includes Hydration

ir_3_nutrition_prepThis daily habit change, does not mean you have to go on a crazy diet, or fast with lemon-juice and ginger for forty days, or throw away everything in your kitchen, replacing it with fresh-picked hipster organic farm goodness.

Recording your nutrition is a way for you to teach yourself what you are eating.

Sounds dumb, but it is effective, which also means it is not dumb.

You would be surprised to hear that every single person I have asked to track their nutrition, has told me some rendition of, “Wow! I did not realize this juice had so much sugar in it.” or “Wow! A half a cup of rice seems so small on my plate.”

We live in America where convenience, incredible marketing, and big/more/bigger is the way of life, especially with food.

You can imagine how much help it is to add daily nutrition tracking of your food intake.

This small habit will completely change your life, and it is so easy to implement with smart phones and apps there is no excuse but to implement it today.

We recommend myfitnesspal, because it is simple, easy-to-use, and it is FREE! (we make zero money off of the promotion of this app and website)

Step 2 – Twenty Minutes of Relaxed, Focused Breathing

breathing techniquesThere are too many studies that recount the goodness and improvement that come from focused breathing, daily relaxation, prayer, and meditation, but I want to look at this time from a different perspective.

Think about this time as a reset button.

When your day is starting to choke you out, or last night’s lack of sleep refuses to be conquered by coffee, take twenty minutes to improve your mood, relax, de-stress, unwind, and focus on one thing, your breath, instead of the million things on your list.

If this turns into a twenty minute nap, than we know you probably needed more sleep anyway, which helps our metabolic and hormonal function.

If you keep thinking about all the things you need to do or want to do, bring a pad of paper, write it down and take care of it after your breathing time, and then refocus back on your breath.

This reset is crucial for your mindset during this time of change and renewed habits.

Every time you take twenty minutes to reset yourself mentally, you are also resetting yourself physically. Whatever mistakes you made or problems you had are now gone and in the past.

You are no longer weighed down by shame, guilt, or past habits.

Today is the first day of the rest of your life, and you have the opportunity to make a new you with a new day.

Step 3 – Show Up Consistently To an Intelligent Fitness Training Program

2016-01-12 10.11.51Showing up is the hardest part, especially if you have a million things on your list, or you don’t feel perfect, or you are feeling the darkness of the tunnel, not the shinyness of the light at the end of the tunnel.

Once you show up, all you have to do is join in the calculated exercise program, and you always feel better.

If the program is a smash-fest or it is variable and inconsistent, you probably won’t feel better, so don’t get sucked into these dark holes.

Seek out good coaching, encouraging environments, and tried and true methods for your exercise program and fitness training.

Whether it is one-on-one, group training, classes, or do-it-yourself exercise programs, make sure it is progressive, enjoyable, and helpful.

Progressive workouts build on themselves, instead of randomly putting together a bunch of exercises, and saying, “do it more and do it harder and do it more harder with intensity”…sounds weird, but because of our culture this is one of the biggest mistakes when trying to lose the last ten, because the stress of these workouts add to the stress of your day, and set your hormones up for fat-retaining failure.

Enjoyable workouts are going to be a personal choice, because where I see sweaty, disheveled mats with twisted figures hiding pain, many of you see a relieving, reviving, toxin-expelling, breath of fresh mobility, called hot-yoga.

Find something you enjoy, and stick to it long enough to build a deeper than paper relationship with the instructors and coaches that can only help you if they see you more than once or twice per month.

If we focus on these three areas as new, small habit adjustments, we will begin to see where our body and mind is most healthy in terms of body fat and lean body mass.

You will see that the ten pounds have melted away, and you have new lines, curves, jeans, shirts, and relationships that you never would have thought possible.

Your relationship with the mirror, scale, closet, pictures, and people have improved, along with your quality of life.

Supplements – Are Capsules or Powder Better? Find Out Now For Your Personal Nutrition, Strength Gains and Weight Loss.

December 17, 2015 by ptpt Leave a Comment

DietarySupplementQ& A: Are Capsules or Powder better to supplement with for your personal nutrition, strength gains, and weight loss?

A great question we are asked here at Innovative Results from our clients is, “should I take supplements for weight loss, muscle growth, or strength gains?”

Most importantly, please remember that supplements are meant to “supplement” a healthy diet, they are not intended to replace nutrients (real food), or apply a “quick-fix” to your fitness goals.

At the end of the day, you will still have to get moving with some form of exercise and maintain a healthy personal nutrition routine.

That being said, whether you take supplements, or are considering adding supplements to your personal nutrition plan it is important to know what is out there and what your options are regarding personal nutrition, strength gains, and weight loss.

Supplements can definitely help you stay focused, engaged and energetic through your workouts, but again they can’t help you if you aren’t pursuing some sort of fitness training.

A great start is a food journal, figure out where your dietary needs fall and work with REAL food first (if God made it, eat it…natural is better), then if supplementing fits into your nutritional and performance needs you will be well equipped with your personal blue print.

A food journal will help you stay on track with your daily nutrition, and give you a solid foundation for recovery, whether your goal is weight loss, fat loss, muscle gain, strength gain, or increased performance. We recommend My Fitness Pal, because it is easy-to-use, simple, an app on your phone, and FREE. binderlayingopen_550x634

What Happens When You Stop Working Out? 6 Things You Don’t Want To Happen When You Drop Your Workout Routine.

September 22, 2015 by Jessica Leave a Comment

agility ladderThat missed training session has turned into a multiple week break, ready to find out what your body has to say?

“Detraining” – just as a great training program builds you up, falling out of your workout routine can have negative effects on your body.  Not too mention deny you the fitness goals you set for yourself.

Lucky for us, ‘detraining” is a fully reversible condition as long as you get yourself back to your training routine.

So what actually happens to your body when you trade regular sweat sessions for the couch, and Netflix binge?

Let’s take a look!

What Happens When You Stop Working Out?

1. Your Blood Pressure Soars
An elevated blood pressure is an almost instant effect of de-training. On the days you spend out of the gym, your blood pressure will be higher. “Your blood vessels adapt to the slower flow of a sedentary lifestyle after just two weeks, which clicks your readings up another couple of notches, according to a recent study in the journal PLoS. Within a month, stiffening arteries and veins send your BP back to where it would be if you’d never even left the couch, says study author Linda Pescatello, PhD, of the University of Connecticut.”

How Do I Reverse It: Start sweating again! Once you get back to your regular sweat sessions, your blood pressure will drop a bit day by day, and your blood vessels will increase efficiency within your first week back. According to Dr. Pescatello, after a month or two, the heart-pumping workouts will allow for vaculature flexibility resulting in “lasting pressure-lowering effects.”

2. Your Blood Sugar Spikes
Normally, you see an increase in your blood glucose after you eat, then as your muscles and other tissues process the sugar they need for energy the levels begin to drop. After only 5 days of skip the gym excuses, your post-meal blood sugar levels will remain in the elevated state. As these levels increase with sedentary behavior, you increase your risk of heart disease and diabetes.

How Do I Reverse It: Studies have shown that just one week of regular exercises will have a HUGE effect on decreasing post-meal blood sugar.

3. You Get Winded Fast SteveStary3
Climbing those stairs getting a little tougher? Two weeks of less of missed training sessions will have you gasping for breath as your working muscles fight for oxygen. According to exercise physiologist Stacy Sims, PhD, your VO2 max (how much oxygen your working muscles can use) decreases by as much as 20% within those first two weeks of de-training. (Read more about why this occurs HERE)

How Do I Reverse It: The Bad News – rebuilding will take longer than the 2 weeks it took to lose those original gains, but the great news is that it is possible! It’s never too late to restart your training habits and get back in shape. Nothing GREAT comes easy, you just have to set up your plan.

4. Your Muscles Withermikki
Your endurance will be the first to go as your activity levels decrease, and second will be your strength with your quads and biceps being the first to go 😉 After two weeks of rest, studies have found dramatic reduction in muscle mass often leading to an inability to ‘sustain high intensity efforts.’

How Do I Reverse It: Again, the rebuilding process is going to be longer than the 2 weeks it took you to lose muscle mass, but you are better off than those who have never touched a weight before. Read more…

5. You Plump Up
You guessed it! Within 1 week your muscles will begin lose their ability to burn fat, and your metabolism will slow due to inactivity.

How do I Reverse It: Ready to reduce the plumpness? It may require at least double the duration of time you took off from training to regain that same lean level you started with. Don’t let the duration of time discourage you, just add one workout a week to start. The health benefits will start adding up as you get back into the swing of things and you will be back to your sexy self in no time!

6. Your Brain SuffersStress
Feeling tired, irritable, and grouchy? Studies have reported that within 2 weeks regular exercisers have shown changes in mood, mindset and productivity.

How Do I Reverse It: Combat stress, depression and anxiety by using regular exercise as an instant mood booster! Some studies have even shown that exercise helps with your memory!

Get up and get moving, your “Improved Quality of Life” is waiting for you at your next training session!

The 20 Minute Workout

August 19, 2009 by ptpt Leave a Comment

20 Minute Workout – No Time? No Problem

A Personal Trainer in Irvine Experience With Holistic Nutrition

October 27, 2008 by ptpt 1 Comment

I am a personal trainer in Irvine, and the majority of my journey in Holistic Nutrition happened by chance.

I was always aware of “organic” food and the fact that fast food was bad for your body.

I didn’t experience holistic nutrition as an option until, I was faced with some incredible challenges.

In December 2007 I traveled out of the country and due to the changes in climate, travel, sleep time and food, I got extremely sick when I came back to Irvine, California.

This scared the hell out of me because I didn’t have health care insurance, and I’ve never in my life felt so sick and terrible before.

Fortunately, with the guidance of some vegan/microbiotic friends, and studying, I followed some simple steps that not only had me rebound in a few short days.

It also helped me lose a lot of weight and feel absolutely incredible!

The 5 Simple Steps to eating healthy were:

  1. NO refined sugar;
  2. NO dairy;
  3. NO meat;
  4. NO caffeine
  5. NO processed foods.

After how incredible I felt, it was hard to go back to my old diet.

On some occasions, I tried to and my body made sure to tell me!

The best part about eating like this was in just a couple weeks I lost 8lbs of fat and 2 inches off my waist!

Aside from eating fish and egg whites, I stuck to holistic nutrition plan.

It was a simple, easy-to-remember start to my incredible journey and creativity with nutrition!
