Your virtual personal trainer

Kevin Moses, your virtual personal trainer, shows you an in home exercise routine in under 4 minutes. I want to thank blogger for making it easy to download videos and share my passion. This exercise routine was done in my living room. I wanted to show you that exercise doesn't always have to be done in a gym setting. If your short on time, try using your living room or bedroom. All you need is a few tools to get an effective workout.

Overall in this workout, I worked the quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes, chest, shoulders, back, biceps, and triceps. This was a full body workout that anyone can do. I suggest doing 2 sets with 12 reps in the beginning. As you progress, challenge yourself with 3 sets and 15 reps. There are many variations one can do with an exercise program. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

I recommend stretching after your warm, some sort of aerobic exercise will do, at least 10 minutes. This increases blood flow and warms the body up.

In this video im showing how to stretch the lower body. I'm seeing it more and more from my clients that this is an important component to their fitness program. Give it a try and let me know what you think.

Still can't lose weight

Question from Aug. 18



Uh Diet is still the same. I workout 3x a week. The workout circuit lasts about 20-30 minutes. Water i still drink around 3 quarts a day. I noticed a difference in my muscles. Not visibly but i can feel it. Before i started with the bands, my muscles didnt feel right..They were...well, when i flexed my bicep muscle, I could feel its big when when i really felt it, it wasnt tough and hard..Now i noticed that my muscles are more tighter and harder. But still, its not visible since i still have alot of fat to get rid of?

Answer:

Don't get frustrated with your exercise program. If your not losing weight, we will have to look at your diet more closely. Can you tell me your ratios/percentages of Carbs, Proteins, and fats? Are you eating breakfast and what is it?

Why am I gaining weight?

Question:

Hey Fit man...I scaled myself....I gained 2 lbs..Could this be from muscle? I dont think 2 weeks of doing these workouts could give me 2 lbs of muscle...could it?


Response:

Your weight can change within 5 lbs in one day. I would check it again. Has your diet changed? How often are you working out a week? Are you drinking more water? Kevin

Fitness question

Okay. So i got my resistance bands, the 5 set. Yellow - X-light, green - Light, Red - Medium, Blue - heavy, and Black - X-heavy. Im starting off with yellow. So far, i wrote down routine exercises from multiple videos on Youtube. Some from yours, and some from others. Such as Shoulder raises, Squats, Shoulder press, Tricep extensions ect. I have about 15-17 exercises that i do with the band. Each 1 set with 15 reps. I plan to do more in the future. Right now, im just getting the feel of the bands. Breathing correctly, getting my muscles used to being worked from now on.

Well, Heres one of my questions. When should i upgrade to the next band? You said in about 3 weeks, muscle stabilizers adapt to the strain you put on your muscles. I really dont feel my self shaking when doing the workout...So should it be less than 3 weeks to switch to the new band? Second question, Have you ever got that feeling when your working out a muscle, you get that feeling of numbness? Is that what it feels to "feel the burn"? Should i keep going or stop when i feel that numbness? Thanks Moses!


Some exercises may require more tension, if so then you would upgrade in the resistance band tension. When doing the exercises you want to feel fatigue in the last reps, if not you can upgrade tensions, or perform more reps.


Feel the burn- Its probably the lactic acid that you feel. This is a waste product of anaerobic exercise. Its also a protective measure to tell your body to stop working out and take a short rest. So when you feel the numbness you should take a rest. What exercise are you feeling the numbness?

How to build muscle tone and definition fast

How to build muscle tone and definition fast is a question asked most by my clients. There really is no easy way to build muscle fast unless its you have great genetics. If you're a beginner, I would suggest working out 3 times a week, with a full body workout. Now when I say working out, I mean lifting weights, yes even you girls. Women have a misconception about weight lifting. No you will not get big and look like a amazon.

Weight lifting increases the metabolism and this is exactly what you want. Studies are showing that after a weight lifting session your metabolism is elevated for up to 24 hrs after the workout. This is amazing news, and we need to take advantage of this info. Please, please, if you want to lose weight and tone up, lift weights at least 3 times a week. I would also suggest picking exercises that hit each body part at least once, if not twice. Ex., legs-squats and lunges would be great.

To build muscle tone and definition fast I would also suggest eating small frequent meals. Starting your metabolism right in the morning is the best way to see results fast. Eating a bowl of oatmeal or maybe something easier like a yogurt, would set yourself up for success and reap the most benefits of your exercise program. Remember its not some magic pill, its about science. Build muscle, burn more calories.

Free Training log, workout logs

A training log or workout logs are very important when starting an exercise program. It gives you an idea of your improvements and what you did the previous day. When I first started working out I always had a workout log. It helped me see my progress. Even though in the beginning of any exercise program, its sometime hard to see the results, training logs are documented pieces of paper that show you where you've been and where you're going. I highly recommend using a training log, workout logs for your exercise program. Here's a free one that should help you get started.

I'm offering a free workout log for all my clients
