Fitness pros get a bad rap at times. And hey, sometimes it’s well deserved. It’s
unfortunate, but there are still way too many “meat head” trainers who are more
interested in looking at themselves in a mirror than they are in their own
clients.

But we also take heat at times for being too interested in looks and appearance
than health and wellness.

Well, I’m going to fill you in on a little secret.  We’ve tried to market our
businesses by educating people about the health benefits of proper nutrition and
exercise. We’d love for people to care more about their health than how they
look.

Unfortunately, and this holds true for the vast majority of people, they only
care about their health once they’ve lost it.

Think about that for a little bit.

I can tell you right now the unscrupulous marketers online are making a FORTUNE
promoting these Acai Berry pills right now. And they are able to do that because

With all the excitement of the Thanksgiving I almost forgot to let you in on the new 10 Minute Whole Body Workout for HomeOfficeWorkouts.com.

Check out what I have to say about it in this video:

Again here it is:

1. Squats x 10
2. Burpees x 10
3. Squats x 10
4. Burpees x 10

Perform as many rounds of this as possible in 10 Minutes.

Good Luck!

Squat.  Burpee.  Win.

Who?

Most have heard of the 80/20 rule as it applies to sales.  Vilfredo Pareto’s (1848 – 1923) law of income distribution was and still is ridiculously predictable. 

Pareto’s brilliance dictates that 80% of sales comes from 20% of customers.  After closer inspection most businesses find this not only true but sometimes skewed even further – 90/10, 95/5 or even 99/1.

Stick with me on this one…I promise I will tie it in to fitness in general and most importantly how it relates to two things:  1.)  Why this principle will directly affect your ability to lose fat while working out at home.  2)  How this principle is the underlying reason why you have had trouble getting in shape in the past.

This may or may not apply to you in regards to Black Friday, but chances are it applies to your life one way or another.

You see, I predict that untold numbers of people got up super early today and went shopping on Black Friday (not a stretch I know).  I also  predict these folks either skipped breakfast or grabbed something sugary on the way out the door.

Then at some point, when their shopping frenzy has begun to die down, they’ll plop down at a food court and load up on greasy fast food or something very close.

Not good for fat loss. Not good at all.

If  you want to shed pounds and inches you just have to eat

You can’t really miss it on the Internet these days. Seems like everywhere you look there’s another company promoting the nutritious Acai Berry as a weight loss miracle.

And that’s why I thought it was critical to write you today. I want to make sure you know my opinion on the subject.

First, you know better than to believe you’re going to pop some pills – ANY pills – and have the pounds and inches melt off like magic. If you’ve been listening to me for any length of time you know true fat loss comes from a variety of factors, including exercise and proper nutrition.

Second, any fitness expert worth their fees will tell you

As you probably already know, there’s only one nutrition company I believe has your best interests at heart. And when I heard they were having a rather unusual sale for Thanksgiving I had to tell you about it.
You see, www.HomeWorkoutExpert.com  has two big reasons to be thankful this week.

1. They have completely revamped their website. It really is cool and it makes ordering SO much simpler.
2. They have just released their brand new Anti-oxidant formula – Prograde Longevity.

Oh, and the interesting part is it’s an 11% off everything sale. Here are some other details I want to make sure you know about:
- Again, you receive 11% off all Prograde products.
- It will run from Monday, November 24th until Friday, November 28th at 11:59pm EST.

- Yes, that 11% will be applicable to SmartShip orders. But it only applies to that first purchase. Not ongoing.

- The coupon code your clients will need at checkout is:

thanks

(Yes, it all needs to be in lower case.)

- In case you missed it, the website is www.eatforweightloss.com
Oh, and you should definitely check out the Cravers – that’s my favorite Prograde product. I’ve been using it with pretty amazing results.

Get Prograde.  Workout.  Win.

This past weekend I attended a men’s retreat with my church.  I have put it off, finding an excuse not to go for the last seven years.  Without a doubt one of the best decisions I have made in my adult life was to go this year.  I won’t miss another one.

We were in the woods of southern NH.  We stayed in lakeside cabins with nothing to do except what all 150+ men set out to do – increase our relationship with God and learn how to be better men, husbands, and dads.

One of the most refreshing things, amongst many, was the overwhelming feeling I had of complete non-judgement.  Every man there was focused on improving their lives through God, and helping their brother in Christ do the same. Period.  It was such an incredibly positive experience…I don’t think I can accurately put it into words.

The second aspect that comes to mind was the time that was purposely allocated for us to chill out!  On Saturday we had from lunch at noon until 4:00 to do what ever we wanted, what ever we needed to do, to make the weekend successful.  When was the last time you had any time at all when you didn’t HAVE to be somewhere, taking care of someone or doing something.

I went into this weekend with no expectations, feeling like a hamster on a wheel and physically ill after being diagnosed with Lyme Disease 12 days earlier.  I left a new man.  I have peace.  I am energized.  I am recommited to making a difference in this world. 

I felt the spirit of God and it was so wonderful it brought me to my knees.  The closest thing I can relate it to was the joy I felt when my kids were born – and that’s not even close!

So here’s the question:

What does this have to do with getting you in shape?

…and again, and again, and again.

First I would like to draw a comparison so you can see for yourself what make sense…and what doesn’t.

So you can see what is a quick fix, dangerous, unmotivating, fuel of incorrect concepts about fitness, and what is now apparently infecting the out of shape and overweight youth of the world as well.

Last night the U.S. made history by electing Barack Obama as it’s first bi-racial President.  I am a republican and did not vote for Senator Obama.  However it sickens me to hear all of the cry babying this morning. 

What he did is inspirational and he led people to believe that truly – ANYTHING is possible if you set  a goal, stay focused on it and never, never give up.

I congratulate Barack Obama for overcoming, perservering and in the end winning.

Have you ever felt like you had a goal, a dream or an aspiration but there seemed to be huge obstacles in front of you?

The headlines are every where.  Some people are paid exclusively to write “great” headlines for companies selling you the latest and greatest potion, workout, or miracle machine.  They are playing on your emotions and desires.
