The recipe to Consistent Weight Loss revealed! As you all should know by now one of the biggest keys to seeing weight loss progress is to eat just as good as you did Monday-Thursday on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.You must create a streak of compliant days to give you time to actually see some positive changes. If you continue to ”reward” yourself for your hard work and nutrition compliance Mon-Thurs only to go “off the rails” on Friday, Saturday and Sunday you’ll quickly lose motivation to get back on track on Monday which only leads to more weight gain and frustration. I promise if you can just make it through even ONE full week of “at home eating” and daily walking it will jumpstart you into week two making even better decisions then the last as you’ll build massive confidence. Now with TWO Weeks under your belt and feeling and seeing some noticeable changes I can promise you’ll move into that weekend being more mindful of food choices and increasing activity even further. I’m sure you can see where I’m going with this. Can you imagine what you could accomplish with just a 4 week streak of compliancy? This is why I’m so big on that 30 day challenge. Amazing changes can be attained in only 30 days but most people screw up the weekends two weeks in and never are able to create any momentum. Here are some pics from my own meals today to add to my own streak. I highly suggest that you yourself take pics of your meals and post them here to hold you accountable and to help motivate the other Primal Fit Pack Members. Morning Meal Prep pic Breakfast- Oatmeal and Egg White Bowl Lunch/post workout- Bison, Rock Shrimp, Green Beans and Bagel with Cream Cheese Dinner- Salmon, Rice and mixed veggies Sunday will be similar to today and Monday it starts all over again! Hopefully you can see how this could quickly steam roll into some serious results right? Now it’s time for YOU to go meal prep and create your streak. #createyourstreak

As of today, Monday, May 18th, Florida Governor DeSantis says gyms can operate at a 50% capacity, bringing the efforts to re-open our economy into full swing. So – in other words – Primal Fit Miami is open and ready for business. Overall physical health – especially during the COVID-19 scare – is essential, and you should be doing everything you can to maximize all aspects of your biological well-being. Regardless of what’s going on in the external world, the body is what processes all that’s happening and protects us from threats like illness-causing viruses/bacteria.

Our Personal Training classes offer Private Session for those seeking the attention of one-on-one workouts while our Small Group Training provides individual workout stations all at least six feet apart and disinfected after every single session to ensure everyone’s safety.

Do Your Due Diligence – Feel Your Body Out, Especially if You Need to Heal We all have personal responsibilities to our bodies and staying fit, but listen to how you feel. Don’t put yourself at risk Primal Fit Miami has made a personal commitment to the wellbeing of our community and strives to see you at your healthiest. Given the current situation with COVID-19 concern spreading throughout the world, we’re dedicated to keeping regular hours, operating as usual. With the thorough care, we give our home – disinfecting and sanitizing after every workout – we’re certain we can function at the same capacity we always have, able to provide our patrons the in-depth personal training they’ve come to expect. Let’s face it, Primal Fit Miami knows what you deserve regardless of if there’s some random outbreak or not. That said, let’s bounce back to our commitment to you. How do you feel? Ask yourself and take the time for your body to respond. While we will always push you physically, you have to do your due diligence as members to take care of yourself. Everyone knows about social distancing, washing hands, covering coughs/sneezes, and not touching your face, but if you’re feeling under the weather it’s probably not a good idea to go to the gym. Be conscious of stressors and don’t increase your chances of falling ill. Feel your body and consider your personal history. If you have breathing problems, immune deficiency concerns, or are in your “Golden Years,” it may be in your best interest to sit out a few sessions. There are definitely groups of people who are more at risk than others; if you know you fall into one of these categories, LISTEN TO YOUR BODY! Take proactive measures to decrease your chances of getting sick. If you’ve been living a Primal lifestyle, you’re already in the right direction. Make sure you stay nourished with good, quality food and a well-balanced diet. Take vitamins – particularly C and D – with supplements to boost your immune system. Try light workouts at home like yoga, stretching, walking in the sun for some natural vitamin D, light housework, and meditation. If you start feeling symptoms, take a day off. Two if you have to. Ibuprofen, staying well hydrated and getting good rest seems to be the best ways to currently treat people considering the current strain on our medical workers and the healthcare system. But do your due diligence; take care of yourself And, hey, call us crazy, but if your immune system isn’t compromised, just keep in mind we’re open and keeping Primal Fit Miami germ free. Also, don’t forget to follow us on Instagram , Twitter, and Facebook to stay tuned for any Primal Fit Miami updates. 8200 NE 2nd Ave Miami, FL 33138 (305) 392-0624 Contact

Don’t wait for another holiday to pass to reach your health goals – before you know it, 2020 is here and what you put off on Halloween turns into the same New Year’s Resolution you’ve broken for years An hour of strength training a day – an integral part of S.M.AR.T. Philosophy and the 6 Pillars – is key to fighting holiday weight gain. However, getting into this habit is the tough part. Procrastination and bad nutritional patterns become harder and harder to break over time, especially after putting on a few candy pounds on Halloween. This is typically followed by copious amounts of Thanksgiving turkey, topped off with all the tasty treats that finish off the year. Soon, the reflection in the mirror is making a familiar resolution for January and starting with a worse handicap than it did 12 months ago. The answer to avoiding this fate is preventing that future from ever taking place. Building habits: the key to health When you develop good habits – like working out once a day and eating properly – it’s impossible to become unhealthy and overweight. The problem with this is really Mindset. People psych themselves out of fitness and taking care of themselves because they see it as a chore. It’s not. The first of Primal Fit’s 6 Pillars is Mindset for a reason. Working out is fun and builds up not only your body but aspects of your character you didn’t even know you were neglecting. It literally makes you feel biologically amazing. That’s how we need to see the act reclaiming control of our bodies. Eating healthy is delicious. Getting fit feels fantastic. Does sitting on the couch all day getting the aches and pains that accompany weight gain? Do you really think some mass-produced, heat lamp baked, fast food is good? Think about it. Avoid holiday weight gain by not packing it on in the first place Putting off losing weight till after anything not only starts you off with a poor Mindset, it also makes it harder to get started later. Those holiday pounds will add a little weight to your workout routine – and not in a good way. Considering all the treat in the near future, it’s probably wise to cancel anything you eat out by getting Primal with us. Get into the habit of devoting a mini fraction of your day to some fun private training and slowly enjoying foods. Everything is so much better when you savor it. Enjoy attaining your physical goals! If you manage through Halloween and the holiday season, 2020 will be a breeze Think about it: If you manage through the avalanche of sugar, turkey, and gingerbread, 2020 is already starting off right. The end of the year is hectic. But all you really need is to devote a small portion of your day to some exhilarating physical activity and not gorging. Holiday food can be enjoyed without overindulging – probably more so. Again, this is one of the situations where just a small shift in perspective into the Primal Mindset can make all the difference. With all this delicious food coming, don’t you want to enjoy it slowly? Relish in the taste of the food and fill up on flavor. There’s no way your taste buds can truly experience the tastes of the season if you’re just pouring it down your throat. Savor the flavor and notice how much easier to feel satisfied with a decent portion of food. Who knows – maybe 2020’s resolution may involve a tropical vacation where you can show off in a bathing suit. 8200 NE 2nd Ave Miami, FL 33138 (305) 392-0624
NO MORE COUCH SURFING — LET’S GET BACK IN SHAPE Confess, BT reader! You’ve spent the past two months stuffing your face with junk, swilling alcoholic beverages like a pirate, and sitting on your duff watching football and sappy holiday specials. And only now, as we enter 2018, are you overcome with guilt as you gaze into the mirror, where your pear-shaped reflection reinforces a slug-like sensation, which leads to the inevitable New Year’s resolution to get fit and healthy. But there’s a more serious issue than our ego. Our modern sedentary lifestyle, coupled with the overconsumption of crappy food, is a public health concern that grows with our waistline. More than a quarter of a million Americans die yearly of complications related to obesity, the second most preventable cause of death after smoking. And with a full third of us being obese (versus just 12 percent in 1960), this is as much a societal as personal challenge. Bottom line, we eat more, eat worse, and move less. We’ll drive to Publix a mere few blocks away to buy a box of Twinkies rather than walk, or at least jump on that available LimeBike. Fitness trainer Aaron Fruitstone says he needed to share with his child how once, way back in the 1970s, you actually had to get off the couch to change television channels. “Fitness is in a constant struggle against modern society,” he says. Watching a driver in Biscayne Park walk the dog alongside the moving car, window down and leash hanging out, it’s hard to deny that we’re in need of an intervention. Fortunately, the Miami Shores area has a multitude of fitness facilities and opportunities at almost every price point for you to get moving and atone for those holiday sins. The fitness gold standard of the Greater Miami Shores is arguably Primal Fit 360. It was founded by Matt Pack who, in 2008, birthed his army of fitness fanatics out of his garage when he was confined to a wheelchair, recovering from a basketball injury. The injury turned out to be a blessing in that it honed his verbal coaching abilities, creating the critical mass for the official 2011 opening of Primal Fit in the Bennet Building on NE 2nd Avenue. A short three years later, the business evolved into Primal Fit 360, upgrading to a larger space, replete with the expected bodyweight equipment, free weights, a juice bar, an infrared spa, compression sleeves, massage, and cryotherapy (freezing). Pack, an infectiously gregarious person in his own right, approaches wellness with trainer-to-client ratio of one to four, and builds from his “Six Pillar” approach: mindset, coaching, nutrition, strength, conditioning, and recovery. A personal call from Pack after one of my initial workouts showed a keen eye toward hyper-customer service. Primal Fit also conducted a preliminary in-depth interview and physical, pegging me at 15 pounds overweight and 15 percent in excess body fat, then engaged me on my diet, lifestyle, and stress. Abiding by the adage that what isn’t consistently measured doesn’t improve, Primal Fit members are tracked on these metrics every few months. Meanwhile, an Orangetheory franchise landed in Miami Shores about 18 months ago. Illuminated in sleek neon, classes are routinized with the use of rowing machines, treadmills, and free weights, plus heart-rate monitors that track progress. For Orangetheory, cardio-centric exercises are all about elevating your heart rate into their “Orange Zone,” which will result in burning between 500 and 1000 calories over the one-hour course. The 5:00 a.m. jam-packed class I attended was led by an affable instructor backed by thumping house music, and was an exhausting but almost jovial experience. I wobbled on the treadmill, struggled with the physics of the rowing machine, and performed the free-weights portion with notably poor form. For the next two days, I had the sensation of battery acid injected into my thighs with a blow-torch. North Bay Village’s Jamie Adams attests to real-life results, stating that the bonds she’s developed with her Orangetheory “family” have helped her physical and mental transformation. If neon and splash are not your thing and you prefer a more straightforward meat-and-potatoes gym experience, then the 20-year neighborhood institution of MPower Project fits the bill. Affordable, open to outside trainers, a bevy of free classes for members, and one of the village’s very first fitness facilities, MPower claims close to 1000 members. Started in 1996 by resident Christopher Russo in the Shores Square mall and relocated to its current NE 6th Avenue location, MPower has outlasted most every fitness facility and fad. A recent addition to Miami Shores is 305 Yoga. For years I thought yoga was little more than stretching, coupled with some meditative practices. That preconception came to crashing halt as my face slammed against the floor when attempting the Crow pose (seeking to balance my inverted body weight with my forearms), eliciting un-Zen snickering from fellow students. Alas, my physique is more Yogi the Bear than svelte yogi. Thankfully, my 305 session was gentler, ending with an almost angelic serenade by instructor Jessica Fein. The real benefits of yoga are hard to deny, particularly as we age. Flexibility, balance, and mental acuity degrade as we get older, and yoga directly counteracts these changes. Renegade Fitness thinks outside the box, as in no walls or building. Founded by the affable Aaron Fruitstone of El Portal, Renegade hosts small-group fitness classes at a variety of outdoor venues on a daily basis, with an emphasis on bodyweight and stretching exercises. These places just scratch the surface of fitness opportunities. A semi-professional boxer hosts a great weekly TRX suspension training class at the racquetball courts that left me breathless and writhing. The Miami Shores Village Recreation Department hosts a variety of dance and martial arts classes, as well as opportunities for lap swimming and water-based fitness classes at the Aquatic Center. The Pilates Miami that was on NE 2nd Avenue has relocated to Biscayne Boulevard across from Aldi. Then there’s a plethora of impromptu workout
Dear, Orange Theory’s, Bootcamps, dedicated runners and spinning enthusiasts. I’m so happy that you’re exercising and taking action towards a healthier lifestyle but… If you’re solely participating in one or in some cases all the above types of modalities than your exercise program is severely UN-balanced and deficient. I know you’re sweating a ton, exhausted and burning calories while having fun and that’s huge but you’re missing a very important piece of the puzzle. Strength. For some reason as of late Strength training or resistance training has become the ugly step-child of the fitness industry. Don’t get me wrong. I enjoy conditioning a lot, it’s fun and it’s always our goal to have all of members be in great shape! Cardio is actually a big part of our programming but it’s a compliment to a structured and PROGRESSIVE resistance training program. You see if your goal is fat loss, and I’m pretty sure it is, than PROGRESSIVE resistance training is imperative to you reaching your Fat loss goals. What is progressive resistance training anyways? It’s essentially “adequately” overloading your muscles using a weight for your particular goal and then increasing that weight as you get stronger. So what is NOT resistance training? Using the same weight you did last year for 15 reps when you could’ve done 20 reps. Doing Dumbell Bicep curls with 5pd’s in between the treadmill and row machine. Performing Tricep extensions on the handle bars while on the spin bike. Yoga. Barre. Pilates. This is NOT an attack on anyone or any one organization. This is also NOT a marketing post for my facility. I suggest you continue whatever you’re doing if you’re having fun and it’s not injuring you. BUT… If you want long-term fat loss, improved self-image and confidence, an increase in calories burned while doing nothing, better posture, stronger bones and the ability to pick up things easier without injuring yourself than add a day or two of strength training in with your cardio. Nothing and I mean NOTHING works better to change your body and give you so many other health benefits than good ol’ weight training. If you don’t know how to strength train properly or you’re intimidated than hire a coach or a qualified trainer that you trust and get STRONGER. You got this!;
Is “Corrective Exercise” necessary? By Matt Pack A simple, not easy program design strategy to help your clients move, feel and look better while at the same time alleviating pain and preventing injury. I will argue that a balanced strength-training program mixed with soft tissue mobilization and a consistent individualized stretching/mobility program is all the correctives that you may need. “If you’re not assessing, you’re just guessing.” From the moment our clients walk in the door my staff and I are watching body language, gait, and a host of other things happening in the pre-hab and active warm up portions of our training sessions. The session begins and we’re back at it. Assessing, coaching and cueing everyone, “chest up, knees out, double chin” etc… I know I’m going against the grain here but I’m convinced that when someone has an injury or pain they don’t always need an individualized corrective exercise program or Physical Therapy session When in doubt refer out… Training around pain NOT injury is part of the job and I’m convinced with the system I’ll show you below you can not only effectively prevent injury but also rid yourself or clients of common aches and pains. Who’s your “Tribe”? I’m often asked whom we serve and treat and how we assess them. In our case the majority of our clientele would be “general population” business owners and professionals between the ages of 35-60 yrs. old looking to lose body-fat and feel better. They are like most of the population spending a large majority of their day in the seated position. They drive to work seated. They work at their desk seated. They workout seated and then they repeat it all over again the next day. This very common scenario will eventually take its toll on your health and body showing up in low back, hips, shoulder, neck, or knee pain or some with a combo of it all. This clientele without fail will usually be “stuck in flexion” but not always and showing: Tight pecs Tight neck flexors (SCM and Scalene’s) Tight Lats Tight Hip Flexors Tight rectus abdominals Weak Serratus Anterior Weak upper back Weak lower traps Weak low back Weak Glutes Weak hamstrings Weak lower abdominals They also but not always lack: Ankle mobility Hip mobility Thoracic spine rotation Thoracic spine ext. The goal in designing this persons program would be to “open” up the anterior portion of the body and “wake up” and strengthen the posterior aspect of the body. It’s easier said than done but ultimately we want to do the opposite of what they show up with and not reinforce the dysfunction that they may already have. Programming is a science no doubt but not rocket science and once you understand the human body, “assess” 10312enough moving people and know your population and niche it’s more common sense than anything else. First things first… I believe that all good coaches should be asking themselves questions like who, what and how. Who’s my client? What do they want? And… How can I get them there the fastest safest way possible while helping them move and feel better? Who do you train? Do you really know the clientele that you are serving, who your niche actually is? If not, there is a good chance you may not be helping them as much as you could. In order to truly help someone you should know everything about them. You should be an absolute expert in that particular population. Is it a particular sport? Bodybuilding? Geriatric? Woman? What is this population’s ultimate goal? Increased speed? Increased muscle mass? Improve bone density? Lose body-fat? How do they spend their day? Are they seated? Standing? Desk ergonomics? Night shift? What are the common stress demands that they encounter? Work stress, home stress? Are they married? Do they have children? What are their eating and sleep habits and common choices and mistakes made? Health history, medications? What motivates this person? To effectively communicate, engage and positively effect, you must know your clientele’s goal, lifestyle and personalities like the back of your hand. Now for the fun part… The Program Design After answering some of these questions and knowing this person you can then begin choosing movement patterns from the following categories: Upper Push- Bi-Lateral vert/horizontal- Shoulder press/Push-up Uni-Lateral Vert/horizontal- Single arm shoulder press/Single arm cable press Upper Pull- Bi-lateral vert/horizontal- Pull up or chin up/barbell bent over row Uni-lateral vert/horizontal- Single arm”W” Cable Pulldown/Single are Db row Lower body- Squat and hinge- Bi-lateral hip/quad dominant- Trap bar deadlift/Barbell Back Squat Uni-lateral hip/quad dominant-One leg RDL/Step-up There are literally hundreds of exercises you could plug in this formula above.

I believe the key to reaching any goal is simulation. I said it in my last blog post to find someone who has what you want rather that be health, wealth, love or happiness and mimic there actions. Life is too short to learn from your own mistakes, it’s more efficient to learn from the mistakes of others. It’s simply a smarter and faster way to reach your ultimate end goal. Speaking of simulation, this past weekend I had the pleasure of spending time with my 88 year old grandmother Mama Ruth. She had some very interesting things to say regarding the reasons she’s lived such a long and happy life. Here’s a picture of Four generations. What an inspiration! I like to say that genetics loads the gun and lifestyle pulls the trigger. I believe that my Mom, my daughter Lyla and I got a good mix of both but Mama Ruth’s behaviors and actions have definitely had a huge impact on our lifestyles and the way we raise our children. Learned behaviors and mimicking the actions of our parents out-weigh genetics all day in my opinion and that is so far so good. Fingers crossed;) I also asked about her New Years Resolution and she said, if it’s not broken, don’t fix it! I will continue doing what’s always worked, why would I do anything else?” Words to live by. Grandma Ruth’s Top 5 Tips to finding the “Good Life” 1) regular exercise- I vividly remember Mama Ruth doing Jane Fonda videos when I was young. She also was a fantastic Golfer winning tournaments, making hole in one shots and choosing to walk every game rarely using a Golf Cart. Do to a fall, she no longer plays Golf but she does water aerobics 7 days a week. My Mom also just informed me that she’s in the pool daily rain or shine instructor or not. Now that’s dedication! 2) social/friendships- she has surrounded herself with positive people forming life-long relationships. She Also volunteers her time for people in need taking care of sick or ill family members and friends. She’s truly self-less and compassionate and there should be no surprise why so many people want to be around her. 3) travel- Mama Ruth has traveled to every state in the US by Motor Home with her past husband of 60 years and current boyfriend. 4) positive attitude- She never sweated the small stuff. I can honestly say I’ve never seen her upset or raise her voice. In my opinion this step comes down to preparation and definitively knowing her end goal. Let’s face it, having money is freedom and that freedom allows for opportunities. She spent and saved money wisely to allow her the future that she envisioned. 5) eat real food- She always cooked real whole food and rarely ever eats out. She’s says knowing exactly what goes in her body is key. When you eat out too much you never know how they cooked it. Real, unprocessed food is all she knows and it shows. A picture is worth a thousand words. Wow, those are some serious knowledge bombs dropped by a woman that’s lived it! Were talking about someone that still travels around in a Motor Home with her boyfriend of 15 years. She gardens and cooks her own food, exercises daily, keeps a positive attitude and surrounds herself with like-minded people. She’s in perfect health taking no medications and hasn’t had any serious medical conditions or diseases. Most likely this is TMI but worth a mention. Mama Ruth admittedly still “wrestles” with her boyfriend on a regular basis probably more than most woman half of her age. I believe that Her path to the “good life” is actually a perfect Blueprint that anyone could follow and flourish from. Will you adopt some of Grandma Ruth’s principles to finding your own good life or will you continue to do the same things you did last year and expect a different result?
