So, last August, I competed in my very first INFB Bodybuilding competition where I took 2nd place. It was an awesome experience and I learned a lot. However, after the competition, instead of maintaining my weight and getting prepared for another competition, I went back to very old habits and a year later, I gained 20lbs!!! (I know WTH) Then, I lost some of it, then gained it back, then lost it again, had surgery where they removed 5 tumors from my stomach and now I'm back at it!!  One thing I've learned from my past is the first step to getting back on track and knowing what you did wrong. Here's what I've done wrong this past year: Eating poorly Not doing a lot of fat burn cardio Not getting enough sleep Increased stress Snacking on chocolate at night (Eating poorly) Did I mention eating POORLY!!!!! So as you can see, I pretty much narrowed down my issue to eating poorly lol. I love food, especially the food that is bad for me lol. And I have a really ba...

Happy Tuesday Xtremers!! I have a lot of clients that come to me asking me why they aren't seeing results. They tell me, I've been working out, eating good and I have lost a pound! Well I wanted to share with you my list of common reasons why you may not be seeing results. 1. Poor Preparation . Have you made a plan on how you are going to achieve your goals or are you just going  in and winging it each day? A goal without a plan is just a wish. Remember that.  2. Not drinking enough water . My golden rule for my clients is to get a least half your body weight in ounces of water a day minimum. (Example: You weigh 150lbs, you should get 75oz. which is a little over 9 cups of water a day --8oz = 1 cup) 3. Consuming too many liquid calories . For example, I love juice, more than soda. However did you know the serving size for a glass of orange juice is only 4oz which is about 60 calories?? I know I drink way more than that in a sitting. Imagine if we examined soda, wine, b...

Hey everyone, if you're on my facebook (www.facebook.com/AlcineXtreme) or on my Instagram (instagram/AlcineXtremeFitness) you may have noticed that I have recently become an Herbalife Distributor. I know many of you have known me as Team Beachbody Coach for years and are probably wondering why I switched. First, I want to say that I loved the Team Beachbody products and will still recommend them. Shakeology has  helped me to lose weight as well as their programs have helped me to stay active. However, like most I need a more customized nutrition plan to take my fitness to the next level. Like many MLM (Multi-level marketing) business out there they provide products that will help the general population. They will get you some results, but most of the time in order for you to achieve your true goals it will take a little more. For me, Team Beachbody was great in helping me lost weight and increase my endurance with the programs that I used (i.e. Hip Hop Abs, T25, P90X, Insanity)...

My client Nicole is amazing. She is a person with determination like no other. She wrote this testimonial 4 weeks prior to the picture below. I'm so proud of her results!! "Six months ago, I toyed with the idea of signing up with a personal trainer for the first time in my life. Having always been a fairly active person, I’m probably more fit than the average person my age. However, over time, I found that pounds had slowly crept on, and I’d grown more and more dissatisfied with my state of fitness and, I’ll be honest, my appearance. I really needed to shake up my fitness routine, because ‘routine’ it was, and I was bored by it. I signed up with Alcine for 3 main reasons: 1) To be pushed in my workouts, 2) To mix up my routine, learning new techniques, machines, etc., and 3) To see how my fitness level could change if I took my personal preferences/techniques out of the equation. After training with Alcine for several weeks, I can say I have never been stronger, eve...

Welcome to my newest blog, AlcineXtreme's Fit Tips ! I would first like to introduce myself, my name is Alcine and I am a Certified Fitness Trainer, Group Exercise Instructor and Team Beachbody Coach. I have been in the fitness industry for almost two years now but have started my own journey to getting my dream body since 2009. I reached my highest weight then,  a little over 300lbs. I can happily say I'm little more than 100lbs less but with about 15 more pounds to go. In addition to teaching over 10 classes a week, I am currently training for my very first Women's Natural Bodybuilding Competition in August 2014. I'm very excited and nervous for this. If I win overall, I can obtain a pro card! (The goal) I train 4x a week with a veteran champion bodybuilder who really knows how to make me push my limits. I will tell you now, training for a competition such as this one and just normal day to day working are totally different. It's more strategic because you are tr...
