Welcome to “Prime
Physique Magazine Online!”
Hello Fitness, Boot Camp, and Weight Loss Enthusiasts!
Monday morning at 5:30 AM we launched another great edition of San Jose Adventure Boot Camp! It is going great and is a continuation of the last 4 week program...as much as I love this program, I am looking forward to my next break! Time to spend a few days at the beach;-)
OK, what else is new in the world of Prime Physique and Adventure Boot Camp...well, we got a few new toys! Danielle has been asking for a new Bossu, so I got one for her;-) We got some nice ball racks so we can get our balls off of the floor and hang them on the wall.
So I am seriously considering getting a rowing machine added to the fitness center. What do you think about that? They are an awesome workout...let me know your thoughts.
Now let's talk intensity of training: How hard are you working out? How much effort do you bring to the gym or the park? Your intensity determines a ton about how successful you are in your fitness program. We strive to bring up the intensity, but it is all you...so BRING IT! YEA!
That is about it for tonight...I brought it earlier today and I'm beat;-) For you: Go Work Out! Have a great day/evening, watch your diet, let us know if we can provide any more help, and please send your friends, family, and colleagues to us so that we can give them the same great service that we give to you. Thank you!
Your Personal Trainer,
Brett A. Riesenhuber, B.S., C.P.P.T., G.F.P., C.A.B.C.T.

Is your goal SMART?
The much anticipated 2008 Beijing Olympic games are now in full swing. I find it inspiring to watch athletes perform at the top of their game, don't you?
It's amazing to see what the human body is capable of when it's trained for a particular event.
Every athlete in the Olympics has trained for thousands of hours in a very specific way for their sport. These athletes know precisely what they want their bodies to do and they train in a focused manner to be the best. You can bet that they see a gold medal every time they close their eyes. Now that's focus.
What about you? What do you train for?
You see, whether you realize it or not, you too are training for a specific reason. Maybe your goals are more in line with losing 15 pounds rather than winning a gold medal, but your training needs to be just as specific in order to achieve your desired results.
Do you know why you exercise? Is it to lose weight? Is it to lower your blood pressure? Is it to shrink your waist? Is it to pick up a bag of groceries with more ease?
The first step toward getting the body of your dreams is to set a goal. This simple act, when done correctly, will instantly calm your frustrations and fill you with hope.
Here's how to make your goals SMART.
Specific: Ask yourself questions like: How many inches do I want to lose? What pant size do I want to be? Be painstakingly specific with yourself. It has been proven that the more specific your goal is the more likely you are to achieve it.
Measurable: You've got to be able to measure your results. It could be in pounds or body fat percentage or inches. It could even be fitting into a particular pair of pants that you haven't worn in years. The key is that you need to be able to physically measure your progress.
Attainable: If you have fifty pounds to lose it won't all come off in one month. Setting unattainable goals simply sets you up for failure. If you have a major fat loss goal then break it down into small attainable goals. As you achieve each smaller goal you will reinforce your progress and ultimately can attain any desired goal.
Realistic: This step is all about knowing yourself. What type of program would you realistically stick with? If you despise running then don't base your weight loss program on 6am jogs. Look honestly at your abilities, but don't underestimate yourself either. You'll need to push yourself to achieve your goal.
Timely: Every great goal is set on a timeline. Keeping the above steps in mind, give yourself an exact date and time that your goal needs to be accomplished by.
Now it's time to get to work. Write down your SMART goal and place it somewhere that you see often then tell three people of importance in your life about your goal.
Have the focus and the drive to pursue your SMART goal, just like the Olympians, and go make yourself proud!
I love nothing more than seeing my clients achieve their goals. Call me at the number above or reply to this email to get started on a fitness program that is specific to your goal.
To Snack or Not To Snack
When you find yourself reaching for a snack-WAIT! Are you really even hungry? Or are you simply snacking out of habit? Next time you find yourself gravitating toward a junk food fix do a short burst of physical activity like a dozen jumping jacks, 15 crunches and then ask yourself if you really need those extra calories.
Glazed Chicken & Couscous
 Transform your boring chicken dinner into a tasty, tangy delight with this amazing glaze. Spicy mustard, apricot preserves, and orange juice make this dish one to remember. Preparation time is only 25 minutes. Servings: 2
Here's what you need...
- 1/2 up frozen sweet peas
- 3/4 cup water
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon ginger
- 1/2 cup uncooked couscous
- 2 tablespoons orange juice
- 1 tablespoon apricot preserves or honey
- 1/2 teaspoon spicy brown mustard
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
- Place the peas, water, salt and ginger in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and simmer for 2 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in couscous. Cover; let stand 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine orange juice, preserves and mustard; mix until well combined. Pour half of mixture (about 2 tablespoons) into another small dish; reserve for topping. Brush chicken with remaining orange juice glaze; place on broiler pan.
- Broil 4 to 6 inches from heat for 5 minutes. Turn chicken. Brush again with glaze; discard any remaining glaze. Broil an additional 3 to 5 minutes or until chicken is fork tender and juices run clear.
- Stir couscous mixture lightly with fork; divide evenly onto 2 serving plates. Top each with chicken, drizzle with reserved orange juice mixture.
