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.
Do You Know the Best Diets of 2024?
PRO
- Access to Bob through variety of media
- Positive and motivating
- Admits that not everyone will achieve the results featured on Biggest Loser
- All programs are affordable
- Begin transformation on the inside and work outward
- Certified with American Fitness Training of Athletics and with Aerobics and Fitness Association of America
- Trusted and respected fitness professional
CON
- Bob's programs are not customizable
DIET and NUTRITION
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 his DVD program through Push.tv, subscribe to the Biggest Loser Club or read his book, you can definitely expect to get moving. Exercise will vary on both programs with Biggest Loser being more customized to your needs.
Harper is also a big practitioner and promoter of yoga, and many of his workouts have a yoga concentration or influence.
CONCLUSION
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 have lost a little bit, but that's not enough for me at my age. I am asking you to help me. I wouldn't want anybody but you to be my trainer because you're the best at what you do.

Hi Bob: I love Biggest Loser, and have become a big fan of yours. I have a question for you though, I am underweight and have become anemic recently. I know that I need to eat more veggies, my question is how does one get over the mental block of eating veggies when one hasn't eaten veggies in a very long time?

+Bob, My name is Frank, I am retired Navy and have had both my hips replaced. This limits my options on working out. My wife Deidre is on medication for bipolar with side effects of weight gain. What are our options. Do you see a biggest looser for people with disabilities in the future. I weigh 270 my wife now weighs 200

I am not overweight, but know that if I continue to eat the way I do, I will be. I am an emotional eater, have poor eating habits, have high cholesterol and high blood pressure.
posted Jan 27th, 2009 10:30 amI really love The Biggest Loser. Since watching your show, I've discovered the real reason behind my "binge" eating. Instead of dealing with my problems, I eat.
I'm planning on going into counseling. I know that if I start eating healthy and excercising, it will make a difference in my health. I've seen the results of the people on your show.
I will remain a fan of yours and Jillian and start following the suggestions you give on The Biggest Loser. Both of you, keep up the good work. You are an inspiration to many.

Joelle commented about a by -pass. My daughter died 17 months out from a by -pass. She bled to death. People need to hear the real facts about weight surgery.
