Get Taylor Lautner’s Washboard Abs Thursday, 12 August 2010 09:19 Getting Taylor Lautner’s washboard abs isn’t far out of reach, according to Jordan Yuam, Lautner’s personal trainer and founder of Jordan’s Virtual Fit Club. To get a cut stomach, you need to eat right, focus on doing the exercises properly and give your body time to recover. “Eating is 90% of getting the abs to come in,” says Yuam. Its true no matter how strong or defined the muscles are, if they are covered by a layer of fat no high intensity training program alone will work. To get a lean muscle mass, you must put down the cheeseburgers and alcohol, stay away from processed foods and try substituting green tea for your coffee.

Trail Walking for the Nature Lover Friday, 16 July 2010 16:36 What are some benefits of trail walking?

Whether you're walking or running on a trail, it's as natural as staying fit could ever be.  The first people to pick up the pace and start striding along did so not on roads, tracks or treadmills, but on dirt paths, animal trails and in open meadows.  This was the way people first ran.  It was trail walking and it made them strong and balanced and it can make you a better runner too.  Many runners are recognizing the advantage of taking their training to the trails and strengthening their road performance in the process.

Meet Daniella Cracknell Monday, 14 June 2010 16:34 As a successful media relations expert who has worked with the likes of NBC Universal, Paramount Domestic and Twentieth Television over the past 15 years, Daniella Cracknell did not expect to find herself a new resident of Knoxville, TN. “I lived the Sex and the City lifestyle in L.A. and N.Y.,” explained Cracknell about moving to the South. “I was terrified and thought my life was over.” Despite Cracknell’s former employer Scripps deciding to move their headquarters in order to be amongst real people, Cracknell continued to travel to both entertainment capitals. But having now gone off to start her own media relations company, Leonard George, which is named after her late actor-father, she’s decided to stay put in Knoxville. “It’s absolutely beautiful here, Tennessee is really an underappreciated state.”

Thank God I Was Fat Thursday, 15 April 2010 12:06 It’s funny; my students see my blog and think it is weird that it is titled “Thank God I Was Fat”. They know I used to be fat (275 on a 5’10” frame) yet they don’t know why I am thankful, they think I should be grateful I am no longer fat (which of course I am). See what they don’t realize is that being fat made me who I am today.

CNN: Maintaining 6-Pack Abs Wednesday, 23 December 2009 14:03 Read excerpts from Jordan's recent interview with CNN: Six-packs are difficult to maintain because they require less than 10 percent body fat, said Jordan Yuam, a fitness trainer and owner of Jordan's Virtual Fit Club in Valencia, California, who was not associated with Dinant's fitness. "It's really, really hard to keep that up," said Yuam, who trained "Twilight" actor Taylor Lautner. "Most people, in terms of bodybuilding or any kind of figure modeling, they have something called off-season training. They're going to look best during competition time. People don't realize there's two different worlds of the human body that you generally don't see when they're in magazines. They think they look like that year-round -- it's not true."

  • Crushing my hopes

    Thank God I Was Fat | Jul 14, 2010 | 8:13 pm

    So after seeing my regular doctor 2 weeks ago, I finally received my referral request for a cortisone shot- DENIED!!!! Man I hate my insurance. So I stay fit my entire adult life, never ever see the doctor except once a year for an annual check-up, and when I finally need something, "nope, sorry it isn't going to happen". So what the hell am I paying for?Sorry, had to get[…]

  • Injuries Suck

    Thank God I Was Fat | Jul 14, 2010 | 8:12 pm

    I haven't run on land in 45 days due to tendonitis. I know the exact days because the first day of my injury was the first day of the BP oil disaster. Everything I read about tendonitis says that it should take 4-6 weeks to heal. I am no mathematician but 6 weeks x 7 days a week is 42 days. I should be feeling great. And I was feeling[…]

    Thank God I Was Fat | Jul 8, 2010 | 8:20 am

    After 11 weeks of not running, I finally got two runs in this week. I did a 5 miler on the trails of Griffith Park (uphills were easier on the back than the downhills) and then I did a 5 miler with Chris (@ChrisSchauble) Peter (@lamarathon) Liana (@FITtorrent) and Bob (@RCMCoach) http://twitpic.com/23bwtx . Today I feel great although my legs feel a little "dead" from the "new" activity I am[…]

    Major news on the home front. No BP didn't stop the oil spill. No America did not win their soccer match in the World Cup. And no I didn't lower my insurance using Geiko. It's BIGGER. I just ran 20 minutes on the t-mill without pain!!!!!!!! I know, I know it doesn't seem that important in the grand scheme of things but to me it means a lot.Earlier this week[…]

  • Gym Dislikes!!

    Thank God I Was Fat | Jun 10, 2010 | 10:33 am

    Let me start off by saying I hate the gym! I don’t hate working out/lifting weights or the benefits from working out with weights; I hate all the boneheads that make going to the gym a horrible experience. I love gyms like Jordan’s Virtual Fit Club. It is the size of a strip mall liquor store and is packed, PACKED with weights. It is like working out in your own[…]

    Thank God I Was Fat | Jun 7, 2010 | 7:39 am

    True to my word and against better judgement, I decide to run 10 whole minutes on the treadmill on Sunday. I set the pace for a 10 min a mile so I would run an entire mile. Three shitty things: 1. 10 min/mile felt like a decent pace (fuck I can maintain sub 6's for 10Ks man how I have fallen. 2. 6 minutes in my hip hurt. 3. I[…]
