GIVING BACK

Hey, just finished up a great weekend. Had a free bootcamp
offered up to new people-- 23 new faces showed up to check
out what all the buzz is about.

Brenda shot 2 new videos this weekend, one on a group class
weight training circuit. No spandex here, result producing
fat burning, muscle building training. She rocked the house.
She then went over to the other building and shot a nutritional
seminar covering the basics and laying it out for everyone in a
simple, easy to understand manner.
Both of these videos will be part of a church based "Biggest Loser"
type program-- called "U-Count" Awesome program for families to
get healthy. These videos will be included in the package that
go to other orginizations to implement for their people.
No charge-just put it to use.

We are also going to start a free bootcamp on Saturday mornings-
only requirement is to bring non-perishable food for donating to
those in need.

You have to give if you want a full life. What a great feeling to
know you are helping others. hey it doesn't have to be money.
Can be your time, talent, or money.

So get out here and do something for someone else, and trust me
you will have an awesome day and be a blessing.

SUCCESS PRINCIPLE REVEALED

Do you spend time wishing that things in your life were different?

That you could do more?

That you weighed less?

That you were healthier?

That your career was farther along?

It's so easy to think that these things are not
abtainable and that you will not succeed.
Well....... people who have taken their dreams and goals
and put them on paper in the form of a plan have increased
their likelihood of reaching their goals from 500 - 5000%!

Now that is the kind of return on the investment you want.

So write down your goals. Now it isn't a dream, for a dream
is a goal without a plan.. you see, as long as they remain in
your head, it is just a dream.

This principle truth was actually wrote down in the
oldest success book ever written. Seriously, the most copied,
entrusted, truth filled book ever. Actually it is book
comprised of 66 books.
I bet you have a copy in your house.

Yep, the Bible.

WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO

We have many people question why we give free drinks to our
clients. Business people say we are losing money not selling
them a drink. Clients, until educated ask why--and some say
no thanks (they get one any ways).

Well here is why we do what we do............

Within the first 30-45 minutes of finishing your workout,
you should consume a meal consisting of a precisely formulated
mixture of fast-absorbing carbohydrates combined with
high-concentration proteins. Get this wrong and you will
diminish your efforts and results.

Deprive your body of the nutrients it needs immediately
after your workout, and you may as well flush your training
efforts down the sink. Your performance will suffer the next
time you train, you'll likely lose muscle along the way, plus
you risk destroying your fat-burning metabolism, losing 20%
of the gains you otherwise would have made. The simple fix
is to consume a precisely calculated meal immediately after
your workout to support your goals - whether it's burning fat,
building muscle, or dramatically improving your athletic performance.

Now you know why we give our clients a free drink after their sessions.
And this is one reason our clients achieve the results they do.
And also why we guarantee them results.

And this is what we give them...

MY WIFE CAUGHT ME CHEATING.....

....and she didn't care!

Yes, Saturday night Brenda came home just as things were heating up.
The ground sirloin was browning in the pan, the refried beans
were heating up on the stove, and I was sweating from the
habenaro salsa! Yes, it was my cheat meal for the week.
Homemade burrittos, refried beans, and chips and salsa.

You ask-"What is my health & fitness expert eating like this for?".
You are in total shock. Well Brenda wasn't.
You see as you go on a calorie restictive diet to lose bodyfat
the bodywill go into a mode of self preservation if you will.
Our ancestors didn't know when their next meal would be so
the body had a mechanism whereit would slow down the metabolism,
stop producing leptin (a hormone that allows your body to use
fat for energy) all to protect you against starvation.

So as I diet 6 days a week, I will have a cheat meal on Saturday
night to stoke up my metabolism for the folowing week so I can
burn more fat for energy.

So I say put off all those pyschcological cravings for a week
and you can have them on a meal once a week.I said meal, not day.
Also this is not a liscense to over eat and binge like a truly
starving person. But do eat more than you allow yourself during
the week. Your body will respond by turning up the heat and burn
more calories for you as you get back on your dieat for the
next 6 days. And doing this will help you put off eating what
you shouldn't as you know if you just wait until your cheat meal
you can have that little extra you are craving. helps keep you
on track, both mentally and physically.

So, like I said Brenda caught me cheating, but she actually
helped prepare my meal.

This Was A Great Day

Today I was blessed to speak to over 600 women who attended the Detroit World Outreach Church Women's Summit, "Destiny Revealed".
What an honor that Dr. Charisse Gibert bestowed upon me, having me talk to these women about health and fitness. I am an Elder of the church, and I run the health & fitness ministry for the church--so I really wanted to bring the word to them.
We also had visitors from many other states plugging in.
Dr. C. gave me the floor and let me pour my heart out to these awesome women, and I brought the word, not telling them exercise or eating tips--but showing them in the Bible where God shows what He wants for us. To be healthy, to eat right, to not overeat, to honor Him by taking care of the body He gave us to use.
It was a strong word, and it brought down the house. Freed some women up, focused some women, renewed some women's minds, but most of all showed them that their God loves them and wants the best there could be for them, and then outlines how to do it.
It was a great day. A day that reminds me why I love doing what I do sooooo much.
It is such a blessing to be a blessing.
Praise Him,

WHERE DO YOU GET YOUR OMEGA-3'S

Where do you get your omegas?
You can count on salmon and tuna, yes. But don't sell yourself short.
Omega-3's are found in a variety of fish—and they're essential for
the heart and brain. Here, we've got the top seven sources,
from Debora Yost's book, "Heal Your Heart with Wine and Chocolate."
Omega-3 amounts are per 4-ounce serving.

Herring: 2,347 mg
Sardines: 1,786 mg
Salmon: 1,473 mg
Mackerel: 1,273 mg
Trout: 1,213 mg
Halibut: 933 mg
Tuna: 785 mg

The American Heart Association recommends two servings of fish a week to prevent heart disease. So go wild. And please take that literally. Wild-caught fish have fewer contaminants—and more nutrients—than farmed fish.

What Have You Done For Me Lately?

Hey, how many of you out there are asking yourselves that very question? What have you done for yourself lately? Have you started a new health regimine, have you gone out to that favorite restaurant you've been puting off, have you called up that friend you have been meaning to call for 6 months. Have you really done anything lately that you have been putting off, or that you should have done a long time ago?

Find one thing you have been making excuses for not getting around to that you know you would love to do, or would be beneficial to you. Now make a deadline for doing it. Not months from now but days from now. If it is a health program start today, make your next meal a nutritious one, and walk around the block when you get home. That would be a great start, remember once you commit to something it is harder to quit on yourself than it is to start.

Hey while you are at it make that phone call you have been puting off, you know it will bring a smile to your face.

I'm going to take my wife home her favorite meal tonight!!

STRENGTH

I can not imagine going through life without a base of muscle that can provide for me the means to do daily activities, or to do activities that others just simply can't because of a lack of muscle.

You MUST incorporate weight resistance training in your quest for optimal health. If you want to be lean--gain some muscle, if you want to prevent weak bones--gain some muscle, if you want to excel at a sport---gain some muscle. I could go on about the benefits of gaining muscle.

I am not talking about massive muscles like a bodybuilder (not that that is a bad thing).

What are you waiting for? Are you weight training? If not now is the time to start. I have clients in their 60's who have gained significant muscle and are living a much better life. Trust me on this, you do not want to age and have what muscle you do have atrophy, you will live a miserable aged elderly existence.

Thirty minutes twice a week can give you all the muscle you need. That is all it will take, 30 minutes and effort from you.

Need the exercises to do, or the food to eat, or the accountabilty to keep on track?
E-mail me for assistance.

To Be or Not To Be, That is The Question.

We all have choices, to be healthy or not to be healthy is a simple choice. But it is not an easy choice to follow through on for some reason. Do you know anyone who if given the choice to be unhealthy would make that choice? I didn't think so. So then why are we as a country plagued by obesity and unhealthy people. I'll tell you why----choices.

Choices we make every day, from starting the day with a healthy breakfast to skipping breakfast. From having a nutritious lunch to going thru a drive thru. From having a sit down healthy dinner to watching the idiot box with a bag of chips in your lap and a pop in your hand.

What choices are you making? We are not all perfect, but your goal should be to make the right choices for yourself and your family. Why do we make bad choices?

How deep is the desire to live healthy, how much do you burn to enjoy every minute of every day, how long do you want to live?

Answer these questions and find out why you make the choices you do.

A good choice to have is a perfect snack to get you started that we use to satisfy our sweet tooth and carry us over is:
