Unstoppable Motivation For Fat Loss Success

By 2015, 75% of Adults Will Be Overweight; 41% Will Be Obese.  That’s a pretty scary statistic that was just released by Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.  In fact they are calling it a public health crisis.  So are you going to accept these statistics as inevitable?  Or even worse, are you going to become a part of that statistic?

I don’t think so!  You’re smarter than that.  You realize that the only reality is this very moment and in this very moment you have a choice to take matters into your own hands and strive for the healthy and vibrant body that you deserve.

Since we’re talking statistics here I may as well bring up one that most of us are familiar with; 95% of all people who attempt to lose weight will gain it all back and more.

Pretty depressing huh?  Most people will look at that and see the odds completely stacked against them.  You on the other hand are beaming with excitement and enthusiasm.  You see that 5% and you are absolutely certain that’s where you belong.

Those people who can’t seem to get their focus off the 95% are afraid to set a fat loss goal because they see the chances of failing are pretty darn high.  There’s no way they’ll ever tell anyone about their dream of fitting into a 2 piece bathing suit, because it would certainly be embarrassing if they don’t accomplish their goal.

I guarantee that if you are afraid of failing to reach your weight loss goal you will fail by default.  The problem is that these people are basing their dreams on logic.  Doesn’t that kind of take the fun out of dreaming?

Do you really want to develop the ‘Unstoppable’ motivation that will drive you towards achieving fat loss success?  Did I hear a ‘YES’?  Sorry what I meant to say was, “Do you really, truly, from the bottom of your heart and every ounce of your being want to learn the necessary skills to develop the type of attitude and belief that absolutely nothing in this world or any other will ever get in the way of you and your dream body?

Can I get a Hell Ya?

That’s what I’m talking about!  Allow me to share with you some of my top strategies that will ignite that ‘Unstoppable’ mindset within you.  I’m not going to go into detail about goal setting, visualization, and positive thinking right now because I’m sure that you’ve heard a fair amount about that lately.  It’s all great stuff, but if you really want that unstoppable attitude like you said you do it’s going to take much more than that.

1. Passion – This is wear it all starts.  Set your goals from your heart.  Forget about what the statistics say and any of your past failures.  What does your dream body look like?  How bad do you want it?  Why do you want it so bad?  How is your life going to change once you achieve it?  Think of how much passion will come into your life once you are lean and sexy.

2. Growth – Achieving your goal does not have to happen over night.  Small changes add up very quickly.  A great strategy is to simply be better today then you were yesterday and better tomorrow than you are today.  After 6 months you will be blown away with the improvements that you’ve made.  18 months from now you could be a fitness model.  It’s true!

3. Comfort Zone – In order to experience this daily growth there are times when you will have to step outside of your comfort zone.  You will have to increase the intensity of your workouts, prepare food in advance, write down your goals, spend some time visualizing, pass on the dessert, and other things that have not become a habit for you just yet.  Accept discomfort and expect it.  It’s an opportunity for you to become better than you are today.

1. Gratitude – It’s easy to be grateful when things are going well, but I find the practice of being grateful for who you are today and for the so called failures and challenges of your past is much more powerful.  Each challenge or failure provides you with the opportunity to grow and improve yourself.  If you want to be happy in your body start today!  Love yourself unconditionally.  Be grateful for all your past experiences because they have contributed to the lean and sexy person that you are about to become.

1. Become – This could very well be the most powerful word in your vocabulary when you use it properly.  For example; “I have become UNSTOPPABLE!”  “I have become Mary, the lean and sexy women who loves healthy foods and living the active lifestyle.”

   When you ‘become’ something or someone it is no longer a hope or dream.  It’s a part of who you are.  You now hold these beliefs and attitudes that nothing will get in your way.

   I knew that I became ‘Unstoppable’ when the alarm clock would go off at 5:00am so I could go for my morning walk, and it was no longer about fat loss.  I was doing it because I loved it.  It provided me with an opportunity to clear my head, plan out my day, enjoy the sounds of the birds chirping, listen to an educational audio on my Mp3 player, and more than anything it energized me first thing in the morning when I would typically be tired.

1. Fun – Research shows that the people who choose activities that they enjoy are more likely to stick to their programs for the long term.  You may read a book that lays out the best fat burning workout routine and nutrition program, but if you don’t enjoy it chances are you will not stick with it.

   There are so many different workout programs on the market.  Experiment with them and find the ones that fit best with your lifestyle and the ones that you enjoy the most.  Don’t just stick with one.  You need variety and variety will keep the enjoyment of activity at a high level.

1. Role Model – You need new references, which demonstrate that achieving your dream body will happen.  Seek out that 5% of the population and model their behaviors and actions.  If someone tells you that your fat loss goals are unrealistic just show them a picture of your role models.

Will you join me in making sure that this recent statistic showing “By 2015, 75% of Adults Will Be Overweight; 41% Will Be Obese” never becomes a reality?  After all, you deserve to be living in your dream body.

Just got this video preview to go along with thr Lose the Back Pain Video

Check out the video preview at the end of this message.

After viewing The Healthy Back Institute’s Lose The Back Pain System, all I can say is that it’s revolutionary in the treatment and curing of back pain and sciatica. This team of doctors, physical therapists, chiropractors, massage therapists and personal trainers put together a completed package.

The system teaches you how to self-asses your specific conditions and how to correct it. The corrective exercises and stretches are performed by the individuals as demonstrated in the 2 DVD’s and Manual. One of the neatest aspects of this self assesment is that it takes away the guessing. The very first step involves having someone take pictures of your posture in several different specified positions and angles. This is used in determining which stretches and exercises should be performed to CORRECT the problem.

That is the whole intention of this system; TO CORRECT. Most back pain is caused by muscle imbalances which lead to compensation therefore pain. The exercises and stretches that you will perform, are intended to correct those imbalances to get rid of your pain.

There are also two CD’s which outline how to get the best results out of the system, strategies to reduce and manage your pain, and condition specific recommendations.

What most doctors recommend when you tell them you have back pain is to take addictive muscle relaxers and pain killers. And in some cases surgery, which from most of the post-surgery patients i’ve seen, most haven’t had relief. Often times they just traded one problem for another.

Therefore, it is my recommendation that anyone with back pain or Sciatica try the Lose The Back Pain system by The Healthy Back Institute. It is a natural way of correcting your condition and becoming pain free.

Procrastination
By Sarah C. Hougen CPT

You know. That little voice telling you “hey, skip the gym today, have a cup cake instead and watch some TV. After all, you’ve been good for three days straight now, you deserve a break”. Ever heard that one? Or an equivalent? I’ll bet you have. I know I have. All the trainers I know have heard it. From time to time, we still do. The thing is, if we hear it now, after years of clean eating and training, it’s not to bad. If you hear it after just three days into a new lifestyle plan, you could be in trouble.

So what to do? That voice keeps popping into your head! You had every intention last night, of getting up and doing that fasted cardio. Then the alarm goes off and you hear the wind howl, the rain pounding on the window as if trying to break it, and al thoughts of getting out from under the covers is gone. Vanished. Evaporated. Like you wanted your bodyfat to vanish and evaporate. Only it won’t, not if you stay under those covers!

Well, you blew that one. Now breakfast. Since you’re already feeling miserable for having missed the cardio, might as well just grab a coffee and muffin, right? After all, you’ve blown it for today!

By 10 am you go for yet another coffee, with … oh why not, that candy bar looks good and you’re in a hurry.

Lunchtime, but there’s a meeting in half an hour, no time to worry about the lean meal, just grab a piece of pizza or a quick burger or something, anything. This isn’t your day anyway, so scr** it!

You get home and feel miserable about your day. No cardio, no lean meals, no energy to go to the gym and train weights now, and what’s the point anyway? May as well have some ready made something from the freezer, zap it in the microwave and eat it in front of the TV. There’s always tomorrow …

STOP! REWIND!!

Yes, you missed the cardio! Is that the end of the world? H*** no! It’s the very reason to have a healthy breakfast, knowing that you won’t be adding more fat to the existing at least, and that cardio can be done later anyway. Not as efficient for burning fat as the fasted cardio, but still good.

So get the eggs out, make scrambled eggs from 3 whites and 1 whole egg, add a tomato and a slice of whole wheat toast, and presto, you’re still on track!

10 am, you’re not as ravenous as your colleagues who most likely skipped breakfast altogether. You have a fruit and some almonds in a container that you prepared the day before, and your water bottle.

At lunch, you get some light cardio in by walking briskly around the block. You then sit down to a healthy meal that you brought from home (salad, or something to heat up if your workplace provides that), a lean protein, a vegetable and some complex carbs (aka starches, whole grain of course!)

On your way home, you snack on an apple and a stick of low fat cheese, quickly change into your training clothes and hit the gym. If you have finished the weight routine in 40 minutes, take 5, then do 15 minutes HIIT cardio.

Then home again, and dinner. You make twice the amount you need so that you have the rest to bring for lunch tomorrow. Now, there is still a good couple of hours left before bed, so relax J watch some TV.

In short, if you miss ONE element of your day, don’t blow the entire day! I have off days, days when I wake up to dog diarrhea all over the kitchen floor and no way to do cardio before that is clared away! I’ll tell you, the inspiration to do cardio is gone after that. So? That is not a reason to blow the rest of my day. I still eat clean, I still do my resistance training, and I may not even do any cardio at all. I’m not a fan, and I really only do it if I have to in order to move some stubborn pocket of fat - I’d rather shorten the rest intervals of my weight training and work up a sweat and higher heart rate that way, it’s a lot more fun!

You can also start your day great, cardio, meals and all, and simply have to go to some birthday thing at work, with a cake, because it’s the boss’ birthday or someone’s promotion, and you can’t get out of having a piece. Someone hands you a plate with a big piece of your favourite type of cake. But hey … you do not have to devour every last crumb of it!!! Take a bite or two to be polite, and then discretely forget it in a corner! It will not ruin your day. It will not ruin your efforts for the week.

11 Steps that Absolutely Guarantee you’ll have the
Body of your Dreams in 90 days or Less!
by: Christopher Guerriero

Get these tips and more on Audio

1. Persistence!

Violate this step and you’ll never achieve permanent results. We recently concluded conducted a 10 year study which proves that persistence is the single most important aspect of any diet or exercise program. The study followed a group of people (group #1) who exercised and dieted very strictly, but sporadically and compared those results to a group of people (group #2) who exercised mildly and followed a very basic diet, but this group never varied from their routine. Even though group #2 exercised and dieted far less (but did so persistently) they got 68% better results than those who exercised and dieted VERY STRICTLY but only occasionally.

2. Workout around other people.

Working out with others will get you about 43% faster results!!!

3. Don’t take bad advice. 

Take ONLY the advice of those people who look strong & healthy themselves, and, whom you know to be knowledgeable about health & fitness!

4.  ALWAYS keep an eye on your pulse.

When doing aerobic or cardiovascular training! Keeping your pulse inside your 80% target heart rate zone will burn up to 9 times more calories. Dropping below your target heart rate will not burn nearly as many fat calories, and going above your target heart rate may lead to muscle breakdown.

5. Surround yourself with winners.

One of the key qualities of all successful people is that they avoid negative people and they spend the majority of their time surrounded by those who have already achieved what they themselves seek to achieve. So if your goal is to weigh 135 pounds by eating healthy and living an energy full life - then seek out others who already live a healthy lifestyle and weigh 135 pounds. Hanging out with people who just talk about getting in shape but never take persistent action will ensure that you never reach your goal.

6. Know your outcome.

Have specific goals. Get a photo (or several) of what you WILL look like when you reach your goal, then focus only on that image. Quickly erase any negative beliefs or images that may enter into your mind during your day.

7. Increase you water intake.

Water is a key component to life. No living creature can survive without a fresh supply of pure water each and every day. If you do not consume enough fresh water every day, your body will age faster, appear fatter, be more susceptible to germs and colds, lose joint mobility, and much more. Generally speaking, most people who weigh under 150 pounds require no less than 8-10 glasses per day, those who weigh between 150-250 pounds require about 16 glasses per day.

8. Watch where your calories come from. 

Without a doubt, we eat way too much sugar and fat. Moderation was the key in the past, now the key is moderation and the exclusion of junk food. One or two binges per year are generally OK if you are a normal healthy individual, but more is absolutely not OK.

9. Increase the number of meals consumed per day.

On average, you should be eating some form of protein and vegetable combination that’s low in fat and high in fiber every 2 -3 hours of the day. Doing so will give you an almost unfair advantage over those who only eat the normal 3 meals (or less) each day.

10. Visualize Clearly and Often.

Design your new body in your mind first. You cannot achieve your idea of the perfect body if you don’t have an idea of what the perfect body means to you. Take 10 minutes when you are sure not to be disturbed by people or phone calls, get comfortable, fully relax, then begin to dream about what you will look like when you have achieved your goal. Be specific, what will your calves look like, your legs, your butt, your lower back, your stomach, your chest, your upper back, your shoulders, your neck and your face. Then review this image as often throughout each day as possible (never less than 3x/day).

11. Cardio…Cardio…Cardio.

Cardiovascular exercising does more for the health and the appearance of the human body than any other form of exercise. Learn how much and what type of cardio is right for your particular body. Then refer to step #1 and do it persistently.

A very cool "thumb trick" for pumped up pecs!

I was looking over some of my notes on little "tricks" I’ve picked up along the way for better targeting my chest, and I stumbled across this one that has DEFINITELY helped jack up my "chest day" workouts!

Now every bodybuilder with 6 month’s of "service" under his belt knows that to REALLY add some flare to his pecs, he MUST add Incline Dumbbell Flyes to his chest routine. 

But now there’s a way to make this powerful exercise even MORE effective using a breakthrough THUMB maneuver for more FORCEFUL CONTRACTIONS.

Here’s how YOU can take advantage of this awesome new tactic. 

1. On an incline bench (set to no MORE than 30 degrees incline), hold a dumbbell in each hand at the starting position (arms extended above you, palms facing each other).

2. With your arms slightly bent, perform a standard flye by slowly lowering your arms to the side.  BUT. 

3. As you lower them, instead of keeping your hands and wrists LOCKED, ROTATE your hands so that your THUMBS point TOWARD THE CEILING at the bottom of the movement. (Make sure you feel a good stretch in your chest at the bottom.)

4. While focusing on contracting your chest muscles (rather than your arms), quickly raise both arms to the starting position while ROTATING your hands so that your palms face each other again. 

This maneuver actually creates an isolated range of motion movement within your pecs resulting in increased muscle contraction and fiber stimulation.

To prove it, try this. 

Hold one arm in the fly position while placing your other hand on the chest muscle of the "working arm".

Now go through the motion of a "regular" fly with your wrists locked, while feeling the muscle movement with your other hand.

Once you’ve reached the bottom of the movement, hold your arm position and rotate your hand back and forth between the thumb "up" end the "normal" position.

Feel that movement in your upper pec?  

Good!  Now stick a dumbbell in your hand and get ready to GROW!

Just in from Rob Poulos auther of The Fat Burning Furnace

Here is Rob’s comments on one of the most common questions he get from readers of his newsletter in regards to how much a person should weigh, or what their ideal weight should be.

 In fact, He gets these questions nearly every day from a handful of new readers…here’s one he got recently:

 —————————————————————-

Hi Rob,

I am 38 years old, and just 5′1 inches in height.  I’m really overweight, but not sure what my goal weight should be.  I want to fit into a size 4…I’m in a size 12 now.  Can you help?

—————————————————————-

Why is this such a big mystery to people?  Okay, there is a simple answer here, but it’s a two part answer…

First off, while it’s awfully tempting to measure your progress by what the scale says and what dress size or waist size you want to get to, this is often a big trap.  Why?

Because the ultimate measure of fat loss is your overall body fat percentage.  If you’re reducing your body fat percentage significantly, and you’re still not at your "goal weight" or have a waist measurement that’s not where you think it should be, you may become frustrated for the wrong reasons.

For instance, for many men a 30 inch waist is one of the true measures of leanness and health.  But, what if your bone structure doesn’t allow for this measurement?  What if you’ve surrounded your waist with rock hard muscle?

I’m a prime example, being rather tall (at 6′6"), even at a year round body fat of around 10-12%, my well defined waistline hovers around 32 inches.  Does that mean I’m doing something wrong? 

What matters is your overall body fat percentage.  So, what’s ideal?  For men, anywhere from 14-17% will draw plenty of stares from the opposite s.ex, while women who get in the 19-22% range will make most of their f.riends green with envy.

Trust me, get into those ranges or a bit below and you’ll stop caring so much about your body weight or dress sizes or waist measurements…You’ll look so good you won’t have time to care!

And what’s the best way to lower your body fat percentage quickly?  Use an intense form of full body resistance training, forcing your body to adapt quickly by adding fat burning muscle mass while training your body to store calories in your muscles instead of fat cells.

You know, this is the exact exercise I teach you in my Fat Burning Furnace eBook, and if you haven’t read it yet, you need to go and do that right now.

I lost over 40 pounds of fat, totally reshaped my body and dropped my waist measurement by 10 inches, boosted my energy and health immensely…and I did in just a few months with workouts that last just 15-20 minutes performed 2-3 times each week. 

It took me years to learn all of the secrets I use…but you can download my eBook right now and discover them for yourself in just a few minutes here:

Food and Exercise Diary for Windows 
New software review.
By Sarah cpt

How many different on-line sites have you tried in order to get help tracking your nutrition, your weight, your exercises; get graphs showing your progress, etc? I know I’ve tried a good dozen of them. Every time, I’m let down by at least the nutrition part, the food-lists being too huge and the one little, natural ingredient I seek is drowned in all their processed “cousins”. I give up; I attempt to get out of the site, permanently. There is usually no “erase account” button and I end up having to send mails to the “contact us” section who invariable defend their program and tell me to give it one more chance, until I have to get almost nasty at times for them to erase my information once and for all!

After months of this, guess what my feeling were yesterday, when we received a request from “some guy” wanting us to put a link to his diet and exercise tracking website! I almost sent it straight to the deleted items folder, I must admit. But, I am curious of nature, and thought he deserved the benefit of the doubt. I mean, we do get a lot of weird exercise programs presented to us which are discarded, but then there’s the few percentages that are good. Maybe this was to be a tracking program that was more user friendly?

Well, for starters, once I’d downloaded the program and figured out how to get in and all - we all know I’m hopeless when it comes to computers, but I did figure it out - I was pleasantly surprised. There is no direct fat-loss curve, but within the weight loss section, you can create “loss-titles” and I made one for total weight change, one for pure fat loss, and can also add one for muscle gain in that same section! A terrific improvement over everything else I’ve seen!

I was also asked if I could provide some formulas so that the automatic calculation of BMR and TDEE could be done directly on the site without the members having to whip out their little pocket calculators. I did, so now we wait and see how fast this will be placed into the web site.

Still, the main problem has always been the nutrition. I’m so tired of looking at pages and pages of KFC, McNuggets and other prepares, processed chickens only to miss the one ingredient I really wanted: chicken breast! Grilled, steamed or baked, without any added crap; just the d@^$ chicken! Right, I didn’t try the chicken list today,  but I did plot in the breakfast, and there is a line for Dairy and Eggs. You click on it and get a list over general products, from milk and eggs to other dairy products. I clicked eggs, and up popped a list of white, yolk, whole, substitute, dry … I went with yolk and had the choice of raw, cooked etc, clicking on cooked up came scrambled, omelette, fried … you get the idea. Short lists, one thing at a time, less frustration! Actually, checking the chicken later, it is as simple as the eggs.

Normally I would give this a week’s trial before telling you about it, but I’m pleased enough with this to let you in on it right off the bat. The fact that the creator of the site is open for suggestions on improving the user friendliness and information users need along the way is also a huge plus. Most of these sites are run by people who seem to feel they know it all and that any criticism is a personal attack! Silly of them, because I’ll never tell you to go to their site. After 2 weeks of using this software, I am even more convinced, and I will personally keep using it!

Click image below to see the image detail and to see many others.

But I will suggest you check out Tomer’s site for yourself and you can do so right here : http://dietsoftware.atozfitness.com  

The program I was half-way using until now is only good for tracking actual total weight fluctuation and does not reflect fat/muscle ratio. The nutrition part is also too complicated to be worth my time. It’s permanently free unless you want more info and useage, but in any case it’s not an optimal thing. BUT …

This piece of software is so much more efficient ! It’s so simple to use, even I can do it, and you can ask the software programmer and Lewis, they’ll both confirm that I am totally hopeless with a computer program of almost any sort!

http://dietsoftware.atozfitness.com is the link to this new site we are proud to support.

The Best Diet And Exercises For A Six Pack

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

A question I run into a lot from personal training clients is "What diet and exercises are the best for me to do so I can see my abs?" For some reason there is a misconception that there is something special that you do different from regular training in order to get a six-pack.

The truth of the matter is that developing a six pack comes back to the same information that we have heard before. You need to train your whole body, and eat properly in order to reduce your body fat so that your abdominals become visible.

It’s just not possible to wake up one day and decide that you would like to have a lean, fat free stomach and that you can achieve this through some quick "plan" that will zero in on your stomach to the exclusion of the rest of your body.

You can have the main goal of seeing a massive change to your stomach but if you take the correct actions to attain a six-pack in the fastest manner possible, you MUST see changes in your whole body.

What I am saying is that even though it may seem indirect, you will see greater visual changes to your stomach in a shorter period of time from doing three whole body workouts a week, some cardio and eating 5 small meals a day then you ever will from the best ab gadgets and fat burning pills out there.

Let’s just say for the sake of argument that some of these ab machines work excellent for stimulating the abdominals. They still don’t do anything to remove the layer of fat that is covering them and making them impossible to see.

In order to remove that layer of fat, you need to burn off calories and you also need a way to keep that layer from coming back. This brings me to the fat burning pills.

First let me say that fat burners are a joke and that you can get the same effect from drinking coffee and green tea. That effect is a temporary high in energy and kick in the pants to your nervous system. You MAY burn slightly more calories because of your heightened energy levels but when you crash down and need a nap, you’re not burning very many calories then are you?

Let’s just say that there was a fat burner that could be the answer to all your prayers and that just by taking it would give you a six pack in a couple of weeks. What happens once you have that six pack? You’d need to keep taking and paying for those pills in order keep what you have. In other words, you’d be an addict with no spare cash.

That’s assuming that fat burners did work, which they don’t. There was a time when some of them did, but these days the ingredients that make them work are now illegal.

Remember, the quickest route to a fat free, flat stomach is getting rid of excess body fat. You’re abs are already there! Reach down and touch your stomach. Dig deep into any cushioning you have there and you will feel lumps! Those are your abs.

If you take away the cushioning, you will see them.

If you want to see a six pack in the shortest possible time, get working on a full body resistance training program that includes some abdominal work and cardio work. Start eating the right foods. Foods that will fire up your metabolism and give you more energy. Combine these factors for a couple of weeks and you will see more results in a couple of weeks then any ab gadget or fat burning pill could ever give you.
