Putting the Fit in Fitness

Today started with an early morning jog in Van Courtlandt Park. We did the hills and man it was a challenge, the cold air was brutal and the hills where serious. I took the last few days off from training. I wasn't feeling well and I wanted my body to be ready for Team Avadeanlewis.com's May 2012 workout program. A six day split with legs, chest and back two times a week is going to be very taxing on the body. We should see some serious growth and definition from it.
This year has been filled with new opportunities. We will be doing a lot of work in Westchester, primarily New Rochelle, New York. We will be doing some great work with Beckwith Point, one of New Rochelle's beach clubs/catering halls. As usual we are doing joint ventures with New York Fitness Professionals (NY Fit Pros) and Integrated Medical Fitness. We also have projects in the works with a few other fitness websites, in a joint effort to teach people how to live happier, longer lives through proper nutrition and exercise.
Be on the lookout for more fitness videos from Team AvadeanLewis.com/NYFP/IMF.
I've been extremely busy preparing for my medical exercise specialist final exam, which is why I haven't been very active as of late. Don't worry as soon as that's all over and done I will be back to the task at hand. The National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) have released a few new specialty certifications, all of which I plan to take. As my knowledge increases and I move a step closer to becoming the best at what I do, I will be putting out new information as well as putting a new spin on old information in an effort to bring you the best fitness tips.

Few Lessions In Life

The more I live the more I learn, humans are fascinating creatures. It constantly amazes me how unique each person is, of course you can place people in categories but no 2 person are the same (even identical twins).  To be the best personal trainer I can be, I consistently find myself studying: exercise science, anatomy and psychology. Where is all this going your probably wonder right about now? I'm gonna drop a little insight on things I've learned during a series of blog posts this week.

First here are some suggested Readings: As A Man Thinketh, Psycho Cybernetics, Think and Grow Rich (if your interested I can give you a copy of each).

Seeing as how this is my personal blog lets get back to my personal life. MY LEGS FUCKING HURTS, but I love it. If you follow my workout programs you know March was 5x5 month; squat, deadlift and bench press to build size and strength. Well that's all change now that I've reach my 200lb goal. Now it's a 4 day split that feels like death. (workouts and such are covered in the avadeanlewis.com blog)

....too tired to continue writing...

I have a very competent team surrounding me workout towards a chief aim: revolutionizing the fitness industry.

....to be continued

The Best Me

The time has gotten much warmer and I like most people out there am getting my body ready for summer. I recently achieved my goal of getting back up to 200lbs. Now my new goal is to maintain my weight, bring up my week points all while getting shredded. You can check out my new workout program by clicking here. It feels so good to finally be happy with myself again, I absolutely hated being under 200lbs. I've been very bless lately, AvadeanLewis.com Personal Training is doing well along with AvadeanLewis.com Video, we are currently working on our “Gain 15lbs of muscle and loose 8% of body fat in 6 weeks, then keep it!” project. Bodybuilding.com provided us with some supplements which will be featured in the project. The workouts for the project are being done at New York Fitness Professionals, our location in New Rochelle, New York. We will start publishing the video and blog posts to go with the project in the next few weeks.

Aside for all the great things happening with work I've had a few ups and downs in my personal life. More ups than downs however. I have to thank God for all my blessings. Some people look and my life and think its easy but it's far from it. I don't let negative things get me down, I stay focused and keep my goals in sight.

Exciting New Projects

So I haven't had much time as of late to do anything except work. However it is all paying off. Team AvadeanLewis.com is continually growing and evolving. We are working on and releasing a lot of video content so if your not subscribed to our channel you should definately do that. Also the AvadeanLewis.com, Integrated Medical Fitness and New York Fitness Professionals families are under one umbrella: Allied Fitness Resources. You will be getting even more information on fitness, functional training, youth training, healthy weight loss, integrated fitness programs and much more.

We will be publishing “Gain 15lbs of muscle and loose 8% of body fat in 6 weeks, then keep it!” in March. Full details of this project will be revealed very soon.

I am working my way back up to 200lbs with under 10% body-fat. I estimate that I will accomplish that goal by the end of March. Once Accomplished I will move towards my ultimate goal of 225lbs. Who knows I might start a personal Vlog soon.

Quick Update

I posted some video clips from Team AvadeanLewis.com's photo shoot with RAW Multimedia on October 2nd, you can check those out on the youtube channel or by clicking here (the outtakes are very funny, so have a laugh at our expense). The photos from the previous shoot is still being edited and the photos from this shoot should start being posted in the upcoming days/weeks.

Also we are back to shooting videos regularly but editing them is a bit troublesome at the moment however we should still be able to release at least one video a week.

This week we started the new workout routine and I must say I like it. I'm used to doing at least 3 sets per exercise but sometimes less is more so check out the routine and give it a try by clicking here.

This should be a very productive winter, is you have any fitness/health questions please visit the forum and start a discussion, we are here to help.

Good luck luck with your fitness/life goals and remember to stay focused.

Photo Shoot Fun, LoranTV & Self Confidence Formula

Today Team AvadeanLewis.com and R.A.W. Multimedia go together for a photo shoot and we had a blast. We got creative and did some fun stuff. This shoot was not geared towards fitness it was instead just about us having fun and trying new things. We have another shoot scheduled for October 2nd, which we will be doing in the gym and it'll be all about working out. Good ol shirts off lifting weights, posing and etc. If you ever need a photo shoot done or anything media related you should definitely hire R.A.W. Multimedia. Richardo is very professional, driven and has tons of great ideas and he is real easy and fun to work with. We are putting plans on paper and working towards achieving our goals. Looking into getting out to Miami to do some work with LoranTV.com, networking to the fullest.

Check out LoranTVs new channel Philantropic Fridays hosted by the wonderful and talented Jaynine Hernandez, Miss Bonaventure 2012, LoranTV was invited to cover Philantropic Fridays, a very special event Hosted by the MMOM foundation founders, Stephan Morris and Jonathan Babick, and the director of Programs Michele Oster in partnership with ECOMB Director Luis Rodrigues.

I'm Gonna leave you with the self confidence formula that is sure to help you get in the mind set to get anything you desire in life.

First. I know that I have the ability to achieve the object of my Definite Purpose in life, therefore, I DEMAND of myself persistent, continuous action toward its attainment, and I here and now promise to render such action.

Second. I realize the dominating thoughts of my mind will eventually reproduce themselves in outward, physical action, and gradually transform themselves into physical reality, therefore, I will concentrate my thoughts for thirty minutes daily, upon the task of thinking of the person I intend to become, thereby creating in my mind a clear mental picture of that person.

Third. I know through the principle of auto-suggestion, any desire that I persistently hold in my mind will eventually seek expression through some practical means of attaining the object back of it, therefore, I will devote ten minutes daily to demanding of myself the development of SELF-CONFIDENCE.

Fourth. I have clearly written down a description of my DEFINITE CHIEF AIM in life, and I will never stop trying, until I shall have developed sufficient self-confidence for its attainment.

Fifth. I fully realize that no wealth or position can long endure, unless built upon truth and justice, therefore, I will engage in no transaction which does not benefit all whom it affects. I will succeed by attracting to myself the forces I wish to use, and the cooperation of other people. I will induce others to serve me, because of my willingness to serve others. I will eliminate hatred, envy, jealousy, selfishness, and cynicism, by developing love for all humanity, because I know that a negative attitude toward others can never bring me success. I will cause others to believe in me, because I will believe in them, and in myself.

Avadeanlewis.com News Update

It's been awhile since team avadeanlewis.com has done any videos, photos and etc. However all that is about to change, we have a photo shoot scheduled for August 21st with RAW Multimedia. Also a lot of development has been going into avadeanlewis.com, we now have a forum which is a great place to discuss personal training, bodybuilding, fitness, health and nutrition. We will be publishing tons of new workout and training videos in the up coming weeks on lorantv.com, so be on the lookout for those. I must say the future for avadeanlewis.com is looking very bright. We are also actively looking for sponsors.

In other news my training has been going very well, I am getting my strength back. I can finally deadlift 405lbs with ease again and squat over 315lbs without it feeling like a ton. I am looking forward to competing next year and working hard to get to my target goal of 200lbs for the winter. I current weight 180lbs but my physique is coming along and I am happy with the progress. I think I will be doing the Natural North America INBF(International Natural Bodybuilding Federation) bodybuilding competition next year, the team could use a trip to Virginia. Still too early to tell but that is my aim.
