Most people think that after 40 it is almost impossible to build muscle and tone your body.
We have all been brainwashed commercials telling us that we are tired and dragging because of low T(testosterone). The media says after 40 you lose you ability to produce T or growth hormone and you must take pills to do this. They say this is the only way to produce a body full of energy and vitality.
All I have to say is BULLSHIT. No matter what age you are you can produce growth hormone and built and tone your body.
Studies have been done with both sexes in their 90's that proved you can build strength and stamina
just by doing resistance exercise on a regular basis.
All it takes is about 20-45 minutes a day 3 times a week no matter what your age to get into the best shape of your life.
People tell me all the time going to the gym does not produce results.
The reason for this is they do the same old thing over and over again and never increase resistance or push themselves to to their personal edge.
You can go to a personl trainer and hope they listen to you and that they know what there doing.
You can join a bootcamp and be with like minded people who are trying to achive the same goals
you are.
Princeton bootcamps will get you in the best shape of your live. We will always push you to your personal edge but never over.

Why the Scale doesnt move and whats preventing my weightloss
When the number on your scale won’t budge
If
losing fat were easy then we'd all look like fitness models, right?
Unfortunately, the fat loss game is more frustrating than most care to admit. The scale quickly becomes a dreaded enemy—a constant bearer of bad news.
If the number on your scale won't budge then read on for an explanation:
Possibility #1: You're Not Eating Enough Calories
This only happens in cases of severe calorie restriction, so don't take it as a license to eat whatever you'd like. When you're trying to drop a few pounds by eating next to nothing, it actually counteracts your efforts.
There's a base number of calories that you should be eating in order to maintain your proper bodily functions, including fat loss, so check with a doctor or nutritionist to make sure that you're eating enough.
Possibility #2: You're Eating Too Many Carbs
Processed carbs will promote fat storage quicker than you can say the alphabet backwards. Blood sugar and insulin levels always respond the same to processed carbs – whether those carbs are in the form of a FiberOne bar or a Twinkie.
You're fooling yourself, but not your scale, if you think processed carbs should be included in your fat loss diet.
Possibility #3: You're Doing Too Much Cardio If you're doing hours of steady-state cardio, it's gonna end up working against your fat loss efforts. All that cardio promotes the release of stress hormones in your body, which counteracts your ability to lose fat.
See me about designing your ideal exercise routine for maximum fat loss. I'll let you know how much cardio should be included in your routine.
Possibility #4: You're Not Getting Enough Sleep
You may not see the connection between your sleep patterns and the number on your scale, but it's there. Sleep patterns have an impact on your hormone levels, and hormones are a huge factor when it comes to losing fat.
Be sure to get a full eight hours of sleep each night to boost your fitness results.
Possibility #5: Your Snacks Have No Protein
Small, whole foods snacks throughout the day can help maintain your metabolism and encourage fat loss, but it all depends on what you're snacking on. Fruit-only snacks quickly break down to sugar, which causes insulin to be released and potential fat storage to occur, much like when you eat processed carbs. Sure, the fruit will make less of an impact than a candy bar, but you could be snacking smarter.
Only eat snacks that contain more protein than carbs, and also some fat. This will help to stabilize your blood sugar levels while also keeping hunger at bay longer.
Possibility #6: You Eat Diet Foods
I get it, you have a fat loss goal so it's tempting to fall into the trap of purchasing foods that claim to help dieters. The problem lies in the fact that these ‘diet' products have been highly processed and contain potentially harmful chemicals and artificial sweeteners that will confuse your hormones and promote fat storage.
The best diet strategy, when working towards a fitness goal, is to stick with real, fresh, whole foods. Steer clear of anything fake or processed.
I'm here to help you reach your fitness and fat loss goal. Call or email today to get started on a fitness program that will quickly and permanently transform your body.
