BACKGROUND
Having a personal trainer means working really hard and lots of discipline. The reward is that you always picture yourself with the dreamy trainer - so that makes up for it. With Bob Harper, you get the entire package - a good-looking, personable trainer who is dedicated to helping you realize your full potential. Bob has many years of experience and is certified with several notable fitness organizations.
Bob became a household name and put his mark on the fitness landscape by being one of the wildly popular trainers on NBC's hit show The Biggest Loser. The spring of 2008, Bob continued his success as one of the most respected trainers in the world with the publication of his book "Are You Ready! To Take Charge, Lose Weight, Get in Shape and Change Your Life." The book is a well-rounded and smart approach to managing the emotional side of weight, nutritious eating and regular exercise and physical activity.
Bob has a true passion for his work - and you get to reap the benefits. Exercise is usually as fun as dental work and watching paint dry. However, Bob Harper's practical advice, friendly disposition and consistent motivation make him a valuable partner.
PRO
There are three ways to access Bob's approach to weight loss: via ordering his DVD training program, becoming a member of The Biggest Loser Club, the weight loss club spun from the popular TV program, or in his new book "Are You Ready!".
- Positive and motivating
- Admits that not everyone will achieve the results featured on Biggest Loser
- Both programs (DVD or Biggest Loser) are affordable
- Begin transformation on the inside and work out
- Certified with American Fitness Training of Athletics and with Aerobics and Fitness Association of America.
CON
FOOD & RECIPE
Bob customizes his program to each individual. On Biggest Loser, he promotes his Eat More Diet. He suggests that all of that food you might be cutting out could be the answer to why you're not losing weight. Your body needs certain calories and nutrients to function properly and become less dependent on fat stores.
Bob suggests that by consuming between four and six smaller meals throughout the day, you'll be able to beat hunger before it starts. You'll consume a diet that is low calorie and low carb. Portion control is also important, since you can always have too much of a good (or bad) thing.
An example of a day on Bob Harper's Eat More Diet could be:
- Breakfast
Five egg whites with turkey bacon
- Morning Snack
Slice of deli chicken with string cheese and mustard
- Lunch
Albacore tuna on a spinach salad with balsamic vinaigrette
- Afternoon Snack
Laughing Cow Light cheese with a celery stick
- Dinner
Grilled salmon with steamed asparagus and a tossed salad
EXERCISE
Bob is a trainer, so he is focused on exercise. Should you follow either his DVD program through Push.tv or subscribe to the Biggest Loser Club, you can definitely expect to get moving. Exercise will vary on both programs with Biggest Loser being more customized to your needs.
EXPENSE
Bob's DVD training program is sold through Push.tv. You can subscribe to several training programs, which start at $25 for a monthly rate and go to $225 for nine months with three free.
You can join the Biggest Loser Club for only $20/month.
Bob Harper is certainly making a name for himself in weight loss circles. While he's been a highly sought-after trainer in L.A. for years, working with names like Gwyneth Paltrow and Ben Stiller, he's now more accessible than ever. Bob is a trainer on NBC's Biggest Loser, author of a weight loss book, star of several exercise DVDs and a featured speaker for many events. His approach to weight loss is practical and realistic. He motivates you to start by recognizing important changes on the inside and working toward the physical changes on the outside. Both the DVD videos and Biggest Loser are affordable, and both make losing weight a lot more fun than you've probably had before.

I trust your opinion so could you please let me know what exercises will help me flatten my belly. You are totally cute!!! Thanks for your help, Nancy
