Hey this is Mitch Lee from fitfiguretv.com and I’m in my kitchen and this is where the magic happens. You get fit in the kitchen people, okay. You like the red bandanna, ok whatever, happy holiday.

So check this out I really want to show you I just found this I’m really not a big bread guy and I’m not recommending bread but this one I would, this is Joseph’s Flax Oat Brand and whole wheat pita bread.

Pita bread, if you know anything about pita bread its normally like 35 carbs and its white flour and it’s just a nightmare on blood sugar and the waist line ok. But check this out no Trans fat, reduced carb, reduced fat, high protein.

But check this out this is what I wanted to show you guys, does anybody know what ECC means?

Ronnie, what’s ECC. It’s actually the net carb affect, so let me explain to you something. This says that the total carbs is 8 grams and underneath it the dietary fiber says 4, what that means actually is the net effect, the net carbs of this is actually only 4. Because what you should know when you go to the grocery store and you read labels is if you see something that has 20 carbs and it has 7 grams of fiber, you subtract the total carbs from the fiber giving you the net effect.

Because we can’t really digest fiber, it doesn’t really count as part of our dietary intake. So just remember that if you see ECC it really means the net carb, net carbohydrates is the only percentage absorbed by the body. It actually stands for effective carb count. So this even though it says it’s got 8 gram of carbs it really has 4 gram of carbs which is awesome.

And that’s why it’s so important to find carbohydrates that have high fiber okay. There is a big difference between carbs that have a ton of sugar and are totally absorbed by the body and that’s really bad and carbohydrates that actually have a lot of fiber in it because it can actually be subtracted from the total carb intake.

So just make sure that you know that, that when people say like, what’s the net carb or the net effect of that particular food, you know what you’re doing is you’re taking the total carbohydrates and you’re subtracting the fiber from it getting you the net effect.

Bottom-line is fiber is really good for you, for things that have fiber in it I just wanted to share that with you. That’s what ECC means if you ever see it on the label it’s the effective carb count.

Ok, share this with your friends on Facebook, I’m sure some of them don’t know what that means and they are baffled by it and it will deftly help you in your efforts to lose weight and get a nice trim waistline.  Fitfiguretv.com and fitfigurebootcamp.com

Hey this is Mitch from fitfiguretv.com and fitfigurebootcamp.com here to prevent boredom in the gym.

So I’m just going to give you some push-up variations today okay. It’s such a classic exercise that women can do, I think people think that it’s a guy exercise, I don’t know why but it tightens the arms the back it works every muscle in the upper body including the core.

I’m just going to show you a couple of push-up variations that you can do in the gym, in the house, in the hotel outside wherever you are. Just eliminate some boredom it doesn’t always have to be the same push-up.

The first push-up is going to be a modified push-up with your knees on the ground.

Second push-up would be a rear heel push-up where you’re completely off the ground. Those are two basic ones and now we will get a little funky.

You have one push-up where your legs is wrapped around one leg, that’s another push-up.

You also have a push-up where you can elevate the foot and do a push-up.

You also have the V push-up, where you move your feet in and have your head hit the ground and come up, that’s another push-up.

You could also go wide and have your hands in a like your knuckles on the floor, go really wide, put your thumbs down and do another kind of push-up.

You could bring it in to the back of the arm to the triceps; you could put your hands nice and close together.

You can do another kind of push-up, you can do a clap push-up okay.

You can do a serious P90 X kind of push-up where you your entire body elevates off the ground, let me show you, including your feet.

Okay you can do the hand replacement push-up, push-up replace the hand push-up and you can go around the world push-up and then you can actually go back okay.

So I’m going to stop there, one because I’m tired and I think you get my point there’s so many variations that you can do with the basic exercise.

Same thing you can do with squats and lunges, it’s just a matter of keeping it fresh and keep it exciting and not getting lost in how many reps you do or just getting stuck in a rut of doing the same thing over and over again.

So I hope that helped, I must have shown you  six, seven or eight of them. You can choose whichever one you like and just constantly switch it up.

Fitness is supposed to be fun, lifestyle is supposed to be exciting and you know all in all you just trying to lose weight, get in shape, feel good and be motivated whether you go to a gym or boot camp workout on your own.

So I hope this was helpful, if you like it, share with your friends on Facebook.

Let me know your thoughts below I’d love to hear it.

A Staircase Workout When You’re Rushed!

Hey this is Mitch with fitfiguretv.com and there’s a little echo in here because I’m in the staircase.

And I’m going to show you that no matter where you are you can always do a workout. And if you’re really looking for not doing a workout you can always make the excuse. But we know where excuses should go, in the garbage.

So let’s take the staircase and let’s do a little bit of a workout and I’m going to show you how easy it is.

You can do this in your home, if you have stairs in your home or you can do this if you live in an apartment building or even outside in a park on the stairs.

So here is the first thing we are going to do, I’m going to put my back foot right on the first stairs okay and I’m going to do ten of these okay, three, four, five. I’m going to do ten of those   and then you’re going to come to the other side okay , one, two, three, four, five okay so you are doing lunges up there.

Then what I’m going to do is, I’m going to run up the stairs and I’m going to do an ab work so follow me up the stairs.

And I’m going to come up here, then I’m going to come back down the stairs, okay I’m going to stop right about here.  I’m going to do one leg calf raises 10 of them.

Back, okay then I’m going to come back down over here and I’m going to go into an incline push-up okay.

Then I’m going to sit back down over here, I’m going to do my abs again.   Hold on, bring up the knees now. I’m going to stand up and put my feet on the second stairs. And I’m going to do ten decline push-ups, okay.

Then I’m going to go up the stairs and I’m going to skip a stair, okay.

I’m going to run back down over here, then I’m going to go into ten jump squats, okay.

Then rest a minute, and I want you to repeat that five times, okay. That’s probably going to take you, you know, 10 to 12 minutes to do but it’s the perfect thing.

If you miss a boot camp workout, if it’s raining or it’s snowing outside, got a house, got a building limited staircase.

It’s a perfect high-powered, high calorie burning exercise. Its fun, put some music on, rock ‘n roll, scare your neighbor.

I hope you liked it; this is the staircase workout where you can work out anywhere if you want to.  figureTV.com and fitfigurebootcamp.com.

We got a leg workout and abs combo today. So it’s going to work the lower abs and we’re also going to work the but and the inner thighs all in 10 minutes. Remember four minutes of 20 seconds on and 10 seconds off, then rest a minute and then repeat 20 seconds on and 10 seconds off.

I’m going to show you two minutes okay and you guys know that you have to go for 4 minutes before you rest. Very simple, 20 seconds is exercise number one then you rest 10 seconds then 20 seconds is exercise number two and then you rest 10 seconds and that’s the cycle. 20 seconds on and 10 seconds off, until you hit your four-minute take a minute breather and then do it one more time. That’s 10 minutes of awesomeness; you can do it anywhere no equipment needed.

Let’s get started with our gym boss get it gymboss.com and here we go. We’re going to be on the floor and were going to do flutter kinks and then were going to do football stance lunges. Just want to go as fast as you can elevating your shoulders off the floor, hands crossed over like a mummy, you just want to go fast fast fast.

If your back bothers you at all then just bring this up a little bit higher or you can put a towel underneath here. You really shouldn’t have any arch in the back. Keep going, keep going, it’s almost over.

Okay football stance lunges, okay were going to be right here and then what I want you to do is just drive the knee up and then come back down, four, three, two, one.  Down, touch the floor with your hands. Up; down, touch the floor with your hands, up, keep doing this, back and forth for twenty seconds.

The next time you do the other leg, up; down; up; down; up; down; if you lose your balance its normal, up, back down on the ground. The flutter kicks again, the gym boss tells me when I should go because it beeps ok, you can set it, it’s awesome, okay here we go again.

Flutter kicks one more time. You can really come up if you’re really advanced, if you really want to come up and work that core. You can mix it up you can put your hands up here, put them over here. One more second, okay last time, I think I need this leg and do this one now, four, three, two, up. Down up down up down up, I’m telling you killer but, killer inner thigh, killer abs, who need a leg extension machine okay.

Remember I’m just showing you two minutes you’re going to do this again okay. I just showed you four exercises, you’re going to take that eight exercises ok, or four minutes, then rest a minute, then you going to do it again. That’s going to be 10 minutes of hell but it’s going to be a good feeling because you know that you accomplish a heck of a lot in just 10 minutes. Tell me you don’t have 10 minutes a day, you know that you have 10 minutes a day.

Do it whenever in the park,  in a hotel room, at home and empower yourself to get fit and get that fit figure, that lean tone sexy body that you deserve.

Hey this is Mitch from, fitfigurebootcamp.com and fitfigureTV.com and why am I talking about plastic heavy duty forks.

What in the world am I wasting my time and yours for about this.

It’s quite simple, those who fail to plan, plan to fail. So if you’re not one of those people that doesn’t stop in this section, were in target right now, if you don’t stop in the plastic section and get things like plastic spoons, plastic forks, plastic knives, Saran wrap, plastic bags, Tupper wear. Things that you can carry snacks in, like fruit, then guess what, then you’re pretty much preparing to fail.

So just as a quick note, a mental note, make sure when you go to the grocery store that you take these things into consideration. Because, if you’re going to have something like a yogurt, you may need a cooler and a plastics spoon, If you’re going to have like a handful or two of almonds, you want to put it in a plastic, like a Ziploc bag, guess what, you need a Ziploc bag.

It sounds foolish and it sounds stupid but I can’t tell you how many people don’t have the essentials. It would be like sneakers with no socks, it just doesn’t make any sense. You want to make sure that you have everything you need so you’re totally prepared and you have your best chance of success.

So little tip, write this on your grocery list, just to make sure you always go there. Go get some Ziploc bags, go get some Tupperware, grab your fruit, your yogurt, your almonds. Whatever other snacks that you normally take with you to work or on your errands for the day.

And make sure that you packed two of them with a bottle or two of water because that’s going to be your best chance at success.

It’s always the little things that count; it’s always the little things that add up. And anybody that you see that walks around that’s fit is not spending three hours in the gym; they’re spending smart time in the gym 30 or 45 minutes. But they are doing things like this, they are spending a half an hour going to the store and re-upping on stuff like this and getting their snacks.

It’s always the things that you don’t see people doing which is why they’re successful. So just a little mindset inspiration tip for you there.  Mitch Lee, If you like this click the like button. Tell your friends, get some plastic, get some Saran wrap, get some Ziploc bags.
