What do you want to know? How can we help you?

Look who I ran into at peebles!!

That’s basically it for this post.

I want to know what we can be doing or teaching that would help you out.

I am going to add a BRIBE!

FREE PERSONAL TRAINING SESSION!

For taking the time to help me out one comment will win a free session of training with me. I don’t take on new one on one clients as I need to be putting my time into the team we have and the hundreds of clients we get to work with. If I was going to take a new client I would charge $100 per session. I hope this is a good incentive and worth your time.

Besides the incentive, this would really help us to be sending out more relative and helpful information to you.

Please take a moment to help us better understand your needs.

What kind of questions do you have about health and fitness?

What are you stuggling with?

What would help you out of your stuggle?

Any diet questions?

What resources do you think would help?

What kind of articles/videos would you like to see?

Anything else you can think of?

(there are no silly questions, there are other people who are wondering the same thing. Please ask so we can help you all!!)

I am currently training for a marathon and am wondering if you have any ideas for training in the winter. We have been lucky so far with the weather so I have been able to run outside but I’m afraid I’m going to fall behind once the snowy and icy days set in.

I feel led to follow a vegetarian diet in the New Year — but think I will have problems sticking with it. Do you recommend such a diet program?

Also, as I am in Rochester I am reluctant to sign up for your boot program — because of the distance involved. Any suggestions?

How did I miss this.. someone commented on Bo’s homemade protein bars.. I want the recipe… please post it.. or e-mail me – if he will be nice and share it!!

here is my question.. I am a diet coke fiend… love it… I have stopped drinking it and am on day 4 of no diet coke. I don’t have the headache withdrawal.. as I have ONE cup of coffee in the morning to get the caffeine fix – but in the afternoon when I really CRAVE one… what can I do to help alleviate that craving… if I drink something else… water or club soda with a little low cal cranberry juice, it feels like deprivation… ugh…. got any tips????

Happy Holidays Tall Trainer Staff!!! See you in 2012!!!!

Thank you for doing this Jeremy. Maybe this is off limits but my question is about knowing what to do at home when I am unable to be with you at boot camp. I’d like to set up something in my basement for quick work outs, what would you recommend? Treadmill, boxing bag, free weights? And how should I schedule my days to get the most benefit? Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!

I’m training for a my second marathon and I’m worried with my training I will lose muscle mass in my upper body bc with all my training it will be hard to sneak in lifting… What can I do to prevent that? Also I read a lot abosut flaxseed and fish oil supplements… What are their benefits and should I be taking them? T hey are in a lot of fitness magazines. Thanks!

Hey Jeremy, regarding calorie deficit and calories burned exercising and losing weight.
For females, should your calorie intake minus calories burned never fall below 1200 calories a day? Or as long as you eat 1200 calories a day, it doesn’t matter how many calories you burn during exercise? So if I eat 1200 calories and burn 500 calories, is that considered a calorie deficit or have I just sabotaged my diet by putting my body into starvation mode?

I recently injured myself (tendonitis or tennis elbow) because I did not have a personal trainer to check proper form. After Ibuprophen & icing, it felt really good. I went back to regular exercising and re-aggrivated the strain or injury. The Dr. said if it didn’t get better within a few weeks, I would need to see a specialist. It has been a month now and there seems to be no real improvement from resting.
Question 1: Is there anything I can do naturally (stretches/other exercises for that area), without going for a shot of cortizone, which I’d rather forego?
Question 2: Would you recommend suppliments to help bring relief?
Thanks for your help, Jeremy!

Hey guys!! I miss you!! Question: I would love to get my sister started on a program as she has been pretty much sedentary since a car accident that left her with permanent neck & nerve damage. I think even just working with some kettlebell swings, maybe rope stuff would help, but do you have options for people that can’t afford training? I.e. can I purchase a membership at your place for her for a trial or anything? She lives in Canandaigua Thanks!!

I struggle to eat as many vegetables as I probably should, and when I do eat them, I find myself avoiding the temptation to add butter, salt, or cheese to make them taste better. Do you have any ideas on how to up my veggie intake while making them more palatable?

Also, I like to change my workouts–bootcamp, spinning, running, etc., but I’ve read that it’s not good to wear the same type of sneakers for all workouts. Since I’m on a bit of a budget, I can’t afford different pairs of sneakers for my variable workouts; any suggestions for one multipurpose pair?

Thanks so much! And thanks for an awesome Christmas workout last night:)

I am also currently training to run my first marathon in March. So far I have only completed 5 and 10ks, so i haven’t had to consider a fuel belt. However, with training for a marathon, I need to start eating/drinking while running. I am wondering what are some good healthy and nutritious options for the fuel belt and also any nutrition suggestions for before and after running.

In addition, knee strengthening exercises would be great as well.

Thanks and happy christmas!

I struggle with my weight. I can lose about 20 pounds then come to a standstill. I become frustrated and fall back into my old habits. What can I do to stay focused and not give up. Thanks Cqthy

My biggest struggle is the daily craving for fast food & caffeine!! I see that it is not only affecting me but also my 10 year old. How do I break this vicious cycle and find a way to get myself & my daughter eating better & feeling better?

I am in the process of changing my diet to all natural foods..How do you learn to cook with all these new foods? Also, how do I shop for some of these foods. I need to know how to get started with these changes. Thanks Jill

PS. Are giraffe head paperweights a good substitute for dumbbells?

I eat too much, and I don’t eat the good things when I’m stressed. I want to nibble, nibble, nibble. Any ideas?

Good Morning! My biggest struggle is food! Do you have a suggestion for what types of foods you should eat at each meal? Do you have a suggested plan to follow each day?

Erin says:

December 24, 2011 at 3:14 pm

My Biggest struggle is nutrition and diet… do you have any suggestions on “Healthy snack/ junk food” that could be a substitution. Also one thing that was very helpful and interesting was when Bo talked about the thermoeffect of food … it would be very helpful to have other information and nutrition facts

December 25, 2011 at 1:23 pm

Do you have suggestions for a good hip stretch?

So I thought of another question…well a series of related questions actually. Juicing…and I dont mean steroids What is your take on it? Is it healthy to do as a cleanse? Is it healthy to drink once a day as a supplement? I just got a juicer for Christmas and Im excited to try it.

What do you think about the stair steppers, treadmill and any other machines at a gym? How do you push yourself on them?

I find on my “high calorie day” I tend to binge and go after all the foods that I avoid or limit on the other days of the week (candy, ice cream, chocolate, salty foods). With doing this, my caloric intake goes sky high it’s embarrassing. My question is how high should this calorie intake be on the “high day” so I don’t sabotage the good that this high day should do for boosting my metabolism? Thank you and I love boot camp!

Andrea says:

On my high protein/low carb days what should be the ratio of protein to carbs? How low should my carbs be? Any suggestions to making sure I keep my fiber intake up on those days?
