admin — Fri, 17 Feb 2012 22:56:24 +0000

Over Christmas I renovated my workout space and now it’s a bright, open gym to get your workout done. My team and I are hosting an open house on Thursday and you are invited! Come check out what we have to offer over some drinks and snacks. Don’t worry, there won’t be any working out going on and no hard sales.

We are really excited about being able to offer full memberships with our personal training in DC. We are a small training gym and we specialize in fat loss.

We filled the space with new equipment and great flooring that’s terrific for sleds, skipping, and jumping. Check out our DC workout and metabolic class in the picture below.

Come see the new The Body You Want Fitness Solutions! February 23, 2012 from 6-9:00pm.

DC Personal Trainer Hosts Protein Shake Social

admin — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 14:47:08 +0000

We have moved into our brand new gym and to get some excitement going we decided to host a protein shake social for our members after a group metabolic class last week.

Group butt kicks!

Our metabolic classes are 45 minute of fun butt kicking. We rotate through 4 or 5 stations for a specific amount of time, take a short rest, and keep on going. This form of exercise really gets your heart rate up and burns fat for at least 24 hrs AFTER you are done working out! Yes, that right, after you are done working out. Smart resistance training does the same thing.

I was really impressed at how hard everyone worked and was excited to make shakes for everyone. We made four different flavors all based on Source Naturals – True Whey, oz, 16 powder
(see link below!).

Strawberry and mixed berry in this shot!

For everybody’s favorite shake check out Michelle’s Super Shake!

Washington, DC Weight Loss Expert Shares an Ice Cream Recipe (Video!)!

admin — Wed, 19 Oct 2011 16:49:23 +0000

Ingredients

2 cups cream
¼ cup water
1tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp mint extract
pinch of salt
green food coloring (optional, only if you want it to be green, otherwise it will be yellow because of the egg yolks)
4 egg yolks
½ cup of no cal sweetener
½ cup of chopped sugar-free chocolate (I like dark)

Directions

1. In a microwave safe bowl, heat cream and water until steaming (2min).
2. While cream is heating, mix everything but the chocolate together well. Add to hot cream and return to microwave until steaming, but NOT boiling (1min).
3. Follow instructions on your ice cream maker. Be sure to add chocolate half way through the process.

Washington, DC weight loss expert Josef Brandenburg (that’s me!) shows you how to make low-carb mint chocolate ice cream with NO sugar alcohols. WAY better than store bought low-carb ice cream. Mint happens to by my favorite but this is a great base for other flavors too.

admin — Mon, 26 Sep 2011 13:25:51 +0000

Football season is HERE! And I for one am very excited. To me football season means lots of fun, quality time with friends and family, great games, and great food. However, sometimes my jeans are a bit too tight by the end of the season. As a Washington DC personal trainer and Redskins fan I thought I would share some helpful tips and recipes to keep you looking great in your jeans all season.

Grill to get the body you want!

3 Things to Remember:

Always plan ahead for game day.
Eat a healthy meal before heading out to the game or bar – this will keep you from munching.
Make game day your ONE cheat day of the week.

Whether you are tailgating at the game, watching at the bar, or having a game day party keep the above in mind. Below are some of my favorite snacks and recipes which I hope you enjoy!

Here are the links to a bunch of different recipe ideas to make yourself or send to people to bring:

Baked Rutabaga Chips, Low-carb Cheese Crackers, Jalapeño Poppers & Green or Red Pizza

Bunless burgers

Salmon Burgers

Sauerkraut & Sausage

Spaghetti Squash & Chicken Sausage

Chili

Low-carb Pizza

Enjoy the above without looking like a linebacker at the end of the season

Georgetown Personal Trainer helps you Train your Mind!

admin — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 15:42:46 +0000

You can tell yourself you’d like to climb a mountain, lose 10 pounds, do 1 chin up, learn to cook….you get the idea. But all of these goals are just ideas until you put them into action.

Every day The Body You Want helps our members get closer to their goals by reminding them of the path they started on by coming to see us. We have helped our clients achieve all of the above and many many more goals – everyday goals as well as life changing goals.

Set your mind to it and do it!

Without the proper mindset none of this would be achievable. When you decide to achieve something no matter if it’s big or small make sure you set your mind to put 10 to get 10 out and before you know it you will be able to climb the mountain, do more, look great in your clothes, and be able to do a chin up!
