This is going to be real simple. We all know there's a ton of mis-information out there. It's even more troubling wondering what you can-and-cannot eat to stay lean and sexy year round. Here's a brief list of some of my personal favorites to stay in six-pack shape year long.
Blueberries (Fresh or Frozen - But Fresh Preferred)
Avocado (Near one a day)
Almonds (I even eat the vanilla coated ones with cane juice - either way it's better than not having them and they are FANTASTIC for on the go in their easy pour out cannister)
Apples (Any kind as many as you want)
Cottage Cheese (I try to stick to 1%)
Pineapple
Bananna's
These are just a few of my favorites....
And in the summer I eat them often.

Your Negativity IS Your Weakness
What is true potential?
Do you push yourself to your truest potential?
I've met some people in life who seem to 'half-ass' their workouts.
These are the same people who, coincidentally, claim everyone stronger than them is on every supplement in the world, possibly steriods, and also tend to talk as much trash in the gym.
Oh and don't forget the classic, "Well if I didn't injured playing high school sports I would've gone to college on scholarship".
Fat chance.
Every athlete gets injured. As I'm typing this email I've suffered severly ruptured discs in my lower back, tendon issues in the shoulders and elbows like crazy, dislocated shoulders, strained and pulled muscles, structural dysfunctions and more. Heck I even received over 300 stitches on the front of my forehead when I was 17 and even heart problems.
Is that reason to quit?
Is that enough reason to look at colleague friends like Eric Cressey, Brian Grasso and Stephen Cabral who still go on to accomplish great things physically and in career and say they must have some crazy advantage from birth that I didn't.
Heck no.
They prove every day that you are only limited by your own motivation, desire, will-power and knowledge.
Eric is one of the strongest natural lifters I've ever met.
Brian is without doubt one of the most passionate professionals I've ever met.
Stephen is one of the smartest and well spoken fitness professionals I've ever met.
All three are some of the coolest people I've had the fortunate opportunity to converse with.
Having friends like them only lift your game.
All three could have called it quits at anytime the past ten years.
But they didn't.
They did that little extra everyday to further themselves physically and mentally.
So next time you want to tear someone else down for their achievement that happens to be better than yours, take a look in the mirror first, then ask yourself,
"Am I doing ALL that I can to succeed?"
"Can I be better?"
I'm sure you'll with a little guided discovery you'll find you're holding YOURself back from true potential.
Just take some responsibility for your own training and nutrition....and stop blaming every trainer, guru, workout site connected to every forum for your inconsistency...

Fr.ee - At Home - Workout
The other night I had to cancel a boot camp class. One of my dearest friends, Michael Saia, invited me to the World Champion Boston Celtics Championship DVD Premier/Release party.
It was a blast!
Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, Rondo, House, Posey, Danny Ainge, the owners...
The list goes on of highly-established individuals at this event. Needless to say, I am very thankful for that amazing opportunity. Especially when it includes hanging out with best friends.
I'm the baldie on the right, Mike's the tall fella in the WEEI shirt, Ashley - his girlfriend - is on his side sporting a celtics shirt, and my friend Hai is to my side. Actually Hai and I co-operate our non-profit org Foundation Forward.
So, in place of Camp, I gave my girls a workout they could handle from home. And now I'm passing it on to you!
So here goes,
A1) Squat Jumps x 12 reps
A2) Push-Ups x 25 reps
A3) Hip Lift x 15 reps (hold for 2 count at top)
then...
B1) Jumping Jacks x 50 reps
B2) Pilates ABS 100's (for 50) or Mountain Climbers x 30
B3) Reverse Lunges with Twist x 15 reps per leg (twist torso to side of leg that's in front)
then...
C1) Side Plank on Hand (arm fully extended) x 20 seconds
C2) Dips (using stair, step or chair) x 20 reps
C3) Plank x 45 seconds
Repeat each Circuit twice.
Happy Training and if you find yourself in the South Shore of Massachusetts drop me a line at Robert Belley Fitness with an email to Rob@RBfit.com. My digs function out of Pembroke - Marshfield - Duxbury specifically.
