In his interview over on TTMembers, strength coach and nutrition expert Brad Pilon gave some unique tips on looking better.
One of his points was quite simple...for those of you that have been working hard, eating right, and losing weight yet don't feel your body fat is changing, Brad recommends getting a tan or new clothes that fit better. Often, even though we are improving, we don't notice it.
On my travels, I was able to get quite a bit of sun, and I have to agree with Brad, the tan makes the body look better. After all, no bodybuilder goes on-stage trying to look as light as possible, do they?
Of course not, everyone puts on "fake tan" because it makes you look better.

Now for this week's guidelines...
Monday
During today's Turbulence Training workout, I want you to push for a personal best in the last superset of the day. No matter what the workout calls for, try to get one more rep than last week.
If you are a beginner having a hard time with the exercises, get a personal trainer for one session to take you through the exercises.
Tuesday
30 minutes of activity. Review your nutrition. Are you going longer than 3 hours between meals? If so, brainstorm some solutions to overcome this problem, and fix your schedule so that you are able to get in all of your meals.
Wednesday
TT workout. Switch the exercises in your supersets, so that you do 1B first, and 1A second. And so on. This will give you some mental variety in your training, and you'll understand how fatigue impacts performance.
Thursday
30 minutes of exercise, anyway you want to get it done. Then take some time to read this interview with fat loss expert, Tom Venuto.
Read how 38-year old fitness expert Tom Venuto has adjusted his nutrition and training with age to retain his single-digit body fat all year round - naturally!
Friday
Another TT workout. Relax and take time to set some goals. Read Dax Moy's 4 simple steps to successful goal setting, including, "Know the price - Research the costs BEFORE you start. Financial costs, time costs, relationship costs, emotional costs."
Saturday
Get 30 minutes of exercise from a fun, non-gym workout. Check in with your social support group. Educate yourself and your social support group. Have a "fat loss book of the month club" where you choose a book or program to review and learn from.
Here are some programs that I recommend...
Fit Over 40 - Inspirational for anyone that wonders if they can lose fat and look great after 40
Tom Venuto's Burn the Fat - A different approach than TT
Sunday
Plan, shop, and prepare, of course.
If you are a woman, take Cassandra Forsythe's advice and pick up a "high dose calcium, magnesium and vitamin D supplement."
And everyone should be getting their fish oils...aiming for 3.5g total of EPA and DHA combined, according to Men's Health magazine.
