The Mind Over Body Solution

You see dieting is not just what you eat. What are you really feeding your body? What is your mind feeding it? What is your spirit feeding it? This will all eventually show up in your physical state of being.Your fitness level is very much controlled by how you think and feel. Your body is a direct reflection of the inner soul. What are you really carrying around? It may be more than a few extra pounds. Blocking emotion and carrying negative thoughts can cause you to carry extra weight. Weight can actually be an armor built up to create a wall that actually keeps you from being who you really want to be. Break through that wall and you will begin to create the physical body you want to achieve. If our physical being is our car that we ride in, it is the mind and the spirit that drives it.

Most people think losing weight, looking great, and getting fit has to do only with exercise and diet and this is really only a tiny part of success-only a tiny piece of the puzzle. It’s a behavioral pattern caused by a certain belief system or old conditioning that is responsible for past failures. The Mind Over Body Solution is a new approach that will reprogram your life, the way you think and feel and in turn affect the way you look.What I’m talking about here is a process I developed of total health and fitness that includes physical, mental and physical aspects. The biggest secret I’ve learned and the reason most people don’t succeed in getting fit, losing weight or even achieving a happy contented life (and remember I’ve trained thousands) is that these people try to start from the outside-in (ego-thought causing certain behavioral patterns by using external motivation) rather than from the inside out (soul-energy fueling your inspiration).

If you have tried diet after diet, hired trainer after trainer, bought program after program but still failed, then give yourself a chance and join the Mind Over Body Solution Coaching Program. I promise you will not fail!

The Inner Diet

Find Out Why You Are Not Losing Weight!!!

My good friend Dr. John Sklare , Ed.D, President Inner Resource Corporation and creator of The Inner Diet have made a joint effort to bring you the best assessment tool available today. The Inner Diet is not simply a product that I sell…it's a program that I believe in. If you're tired of yo-yo dieting and making poor health choices, I recommend that you incorporate The Inner Diet into your weight loss and wellness program. This personalized program will provide you with the awareness, the understanding and the direction that you need to create real change…from the inside.

As The Inner Diet so aptly states, you can't change your weight until you change your mind! I couldn't agree more!! The Inner Diet is a personalized tool that addresses emotional eating. After completing the questionnaire, your answers are computer analyzed. The result is your own unique Inner Diet Personal Profile.

This profile will do three things for you. First, it will specifically identify which of the six Inner Diet "emotional triggers" are causing you to overeat. Second, it will provide you with an explanation of your six scores. And finally, The Inner Diet Activity Book will provide you with specific instruction on how to effectively address those underlying issues. Combined with the application of the process of my book Mind over Body: the Key to Lasting Weight Loss Is All in Your Head, you will have no more excuse left and will be way ahead of the weight loss inner game you have been playing all along.

Backward Fitness

As you can imagine, I hear a ton of excuses from people on why they don't exercise.

Sometimes the reason is self inflicted: I don't have the time.

Other times the reason is procrastination: I'm going to start as soon as tax season ends.

And occasionally the reason is downright funny: The dog ate my gym shorts.

I usually point out to these well meaning folks that, despite their reason, exercise is a very important activity that will dramatically improve their life. I bring up the health benefits and describe how many of their physical ailments would improve. I talk about how great they will feel dropping excess weight and rediscovering a slender figure.

However, there was always an excuse that would get me.

The devious excuse of 'being active': Oh, I don't need to exercise in a gym - I'm very active. I play tennis and hike in the summer and I ski in the winter.

Well, they have a point, right? Tennis, hiking and skiing are all active sports that burn calories. Maybe they can be fit without doing any other exercise, especially if they are at a reasonable weight.

Then I started to notice a trend.

The 'active' people couldn't touch their toes in a simple flexibility test. The 'tennis players' couldn't jump rope for 60 seconds. The 'hikers' needed a week to recover from a one mile jog. The 'skiers' encountered injury after injury. And then it hit me.

You don't become fit by simply being active. That's backward fitness.

Only by being fit can you become more active.

To become and maintain a level of fitness there is no replacement for a consistent exercise program. It's the only way.

True fitness is when your body can do whatever you ask of it. This means having flexibility, strength and endurance.

Do you exercise? Or are you fooling yourself with the excuse of 'being active'?

How happy are you with your level of fitness? Are you able to meet all of the functional demands of life? Or do you find yourself opting out of experiences or situations that you know would be too challenging?

If you've used the excuse of 'being active' in the past, it's time to reconsider your options. Don't practice backward fitness with the hope of true results.

Contact me to get started on a program that will make you truly fit. And if you're furthest from active and simply want to lose those extra inches and pounds, make the decision to take action today.

After all, there's no trial run in the game of life.
Be Excellent
The most important aspect in becoming and staying fit is to be persistent. You can exercise every day for a week, but if you follow that week with a month of no exercise then you've lost all ground. Find an exercise program that you are able to consistently do and then stick with it. In the words of Aristotle, "We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit."

Why Aren’t You Inspired?

A good dose of inspiration can change your life almost overnight.

The best part of my job is seeing clients achieve amazing results. Whether they drop a few sizes, lose the baby weight, get off their blood pressure meds, or shrink their waist the excitement is always contagious.

There really isn't a clear way to describe the euphoria that settles in once you've realized your fitness goal. You have to experience it.

Though each successful client is unique with different goals one element unites them.

They are all highly inspired.

You see, I am in a unique position. I know how to get you (or anyone else who walks through my door) into great shape, in mind body and spirit. I can coach you through a 50 pound weight loss therefore regain control of your life. I can guide you to a healthier body and reclaim the happiness you thought you've lost. I can even train you into a toned athlete and do things you've never thought possible.

But there is one catch

You'll need to be inspired, not motived, inspired.

See, saying that you want to get into great shape isn't enough. You need inner inspiration-and that's just half of the equation. The other part (and the most important) is ACTION.

Nothing happens until you take action.

You can want it, think about it, mull it over, ponder it, plan it, and then re-plan it. But nothing happens until you take action.

While I may not know your story-it's probably safe to assume that you are dissatisfied with your body and know that you can improve your fitness level. You want to look better, to have more energy, to experience fewer aches and pains, and to enjoy sweet satisfaction as you achieve your goals once and for all.

I know that all of my successful clients were once in your shoes. They wanted to change their bodies. They felt urgency. And then they did what most fail to do. They took action and contacted me.

But there is more to it than that. They then committed to a program, put in the exercise, stuck to their diet and met their goals. There's nothing more gratifying than getting back into those jeans that now sit in the back of your closet.

Those that take massive action get massive rewards. And those that simply talk about losing weight will continue to put weight on, pound after pound. I hate to put that way, but it's the truth.

So what do you want?

To get rid of stress

To drop 20 pounds

To feel younger

To look better in your birthday suit

How bad do you want it? How much inspiration do you have? Enough to take MASSIVE ACTION?

Remember that inspiration is looking inside for the strength to go on. Motivation is merely the art of looking outside for things that only last a short while.

Look inside, the rewards are great IF you do.

The Inner Action Taker

Spring is here and that means one thing - it's time for spring cleaning.

The word alone conjures up the image of a garage too filled with junk to walk through, let alone park a car, and closets filled to capacity.

When things get this out of hand it's easy to just give up.

Why put your shoes on the rack when you'd have to climb over a stack of newspapers to reach it? It's easier to throw them down by the door. Why hang your coat up when the closet is a disaster area? It's easier to drop it over the back of a chair.

What does this have to do with fitness and weight loss? It's actually a striking analogy for where many of my clients are before they find me.

They've given up.

Why eat a salad when you're thirty pounds overweight? It's easier to enjoy a heaping plate of pasta. Why go to the gym after work when it will just make you sore? It's easier to relax on the couch.

Living life with unwanted excess weight is like allowing your garage to stay clogged with junk. It's a discouraging place to be.

The good news is that you aren't stuck.

In the same way that you take a weekend to roll up your sleeves and get that garage cleaned out, it's time to take a month or two (or more depending on where you are in relation to your goals) and drop down to your ideal weight.

I know I'm making it sound easy, and when you approach it this way it is easy.

Beware: There are two ways to approach weight loss, one will leave you discouraged and frustrated while the other will get you fit. Which approach do you use? Read on to find out...

The Diet Dabbler

You know this person. Every month they are trying out a new diet, one week they can't eat carbs and the next week they are only eating soup. They feel guilt about food and are unable to experience the results that they want.

Exercise is equally as spotty and is done in bursts. One month they power walk on their lunch break, a few months later they try taking a class at the gym. Results aren't achieved and the programs are abandoned.

Maybe you can relate.

The entire problem with the Diet Dabbler mentality is their lack of consistency. The only thing consistent is that their frustration grows with every failed attempt and their weight continues to rise.

The Action Taker

You also know this person. This is that guy or gal who buckled down and lost the weight with the use of a massive plan of action. They teamed up with a professional, they stuck with a diet plan and they exercised hard. And in a short time their body was transformed.

Guess what? Now that Action Taker is in maintenance mode-the best place to be. They look great, they feel great, their cloths fit just right and they're loving every minute of it.

Maybe you're thinking "I tried to lose the weight and it didn't work, so this won't work for me either." Forgive me for putting it bluntly, but you're wrong.

Maybe you've dabbled with diets and exercise only to come away frustrated. I understand. Many of my clients have experienced that same frustration before they found me.

Here's the bottom line: it's time to tap into your inner Action Taker, roll up your sleeves and do what it takes to drop down to your ideal weight.

Get serious about your results and begin the last weight loss program that you'll ever do. Contact me today to get started on a program that will deliver results.

Then you can kick your diet dabbling days to the curb.

Want the Secret to Great Abs?

It never fails. As spring approaches people start thinking about getting in shape for summer. And every year the number one thing I'm asked is "How can I get great abs?"

You've probably pondered that question at some time or another and you're likely frustrated with your waistline. Maybe you've given up on your abs after doing dozens of crunches only to see zero results. I don't blame you.

Forget everything you've heard about how to sculpt your abs. Crunches simply won't give you a six pack.

You see, to do crunches with the hope that it will turn your midsection into a washboard is to operate under one of the most widely held fitness myths. I'm talking about spot reducing. Simply put, training one area of your body will not specifically burn fat from that area.

You've probably heard that spot reducing is a myth, but most people still train as if it is true. Doing crunches will not magically make your waist shrink, it will not cause your muffin top to disappear, and it will not give you washboard abs.

Only a drop in body fat will do that for you.

So what is the secret to great abs? Instead of endless crunches, the secret is a winning combination of fat burning cardio, resistance training, and proper eating.

It is absolutely possible for you to dramatically shape up your waistline before summer hits this year. Yes, Y-O-U. Weight loss is not reserved only for the people you've seen on the Biggest Loser or on diet pill infomercials. You can do it too.

Answer the following two questions to see how your routine measures up:

How often do you exercise? If your answer was anything less than 4 times a week, then that's the first thing getting between you and streamline abs. How do you define a fat burning workout? A routine including intense cardiovascular training coupled with effective resistance training. Do you do this?

I'm sorry to be the one to break this to you, but walking on the treadmill for 30 minutes isn't a fat blasting routine. Neither is a leisurely 20 minutes on the elliptical machine. The truth is that you can dramatically increase your results while investing less time when you exercise right.

Cardio exercise is all about maintaining an effective level of intensity. This doesn't mean that you should be out of breath or gasping for air. It does mean that you need to push yourself.

Resistance training is the second key part of a fat burning workout. This means working your major muscle groups against resistance in a way that stimulates your metabolism. Again the key here is to find the right intensity and to keep each muscle group guessing.

What kind of shape is your diet in? Diet is a big stumbling block for most people-especially as it relates to their midsection. Here's a fact: If your diet is out of control then your abs will be too. You can't trim your waist without trimming the junk out of your diet, regardless of how hard you exercise.

- Keep calories in check. Do you know how many calories you eat? The best way to find out is to record everything you eat for a few days. Tally the number of calories that you eat each day and do an evaluation-feel free to recruit me to help out with this part. Together we'll chart improvements for your diet and adjust your calories for maximum results.

- Just say "No" to junk food. While this may seem obvious, your definition of "junk food" may need an alteration. Refined sugar is one of the biggest culprits in the junk food world-it is found in soft drinks, blended coffee drinks, cookies, cakes, packaged snacks, and other sinfully sweet treats. Processed fat is another monster. As a rule of thumb you can safely view all processed or refined items as junk food.

- Eat more frequently. The key here is to never let your metabolism "crash" by going hours without eating. One of the biggest mistakes you can make is to skip breakfast-as this is the meal that 'breaks the fast' that your body goes into each night. Stick with eating small meals every few hours and always avoid stuffing yourself.

You should now understand why you are better off not wasting time on crunches-while it is important to exercise your abs a couple of times a week, you won't expect fat to fall of that area after 100's of crunches.

Do you want to flatten and sculpt your waist in time for summer this year? All you have to do is decide that you really want it. Commit to yourself-you deserve it.

See me for fat blasting workouts that deliver results. Together we will get you on a program that will melt the fat off your abs, exposing shape and definition-just in time for summer.

Do Your Kids Exercise?

A recent study from the University of Washington showed that more and more 2-year olds are regularly watching television. This sets the stage for a sedentary life with an increased risk for obesity and heart disease.

Now that last statement wasn't from the study - that was my own prediction.

But really, the statistics don't lie - a study done at Johns Hopkins concluded that a child's weight increases with the number of hours they spend in front of the television each day.

Are you cringing yet? What parent hasn't popped in a DVD to occupy the kids for a few hours?

And what about your child's diet? How often do you find yourself in the drive thru line ordering another cheeseburger and fries?

Childhood obesity is now described as an epidemic. It puts your child's health at risk, and makes them more susceptible to problems involving their cardiovascular systems, endocrine systems, and even their mental health. Type 2 diabetes mellitus, depression, and low self-esteem are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the problems looming over the heads of overweight children.

I'm not telling you anything that you don't already know. It doesn't take a study done at Johns Hopkins to discover that kids today are putting on weight in ways that we never did - you just have to open your eyes to notice.

The 'why' is simple. It goes back to the basic equation for weight gain: energy in versus energy out. Kids eat too much and do too little.

But I have to ask... are you setting a good example by your eating habits? This may be a painful question to want to answer - but the truth sometimes hurts (and is good for us).

Maybe you've noticed that your child has begun to put on a little extra weight - what do you do about it? No matter what age your child is - weight is a sensitive issue.

What do your kids eat?

Think about your child's diet. Do they eat three balanced meals a day? Do they eat at least 5 servings of fruits and vegetables a day? Are they limited in their servings of fried, processed, and sugary foods?

Maybe you aren't sure what your kids are eating. Do some investigation by observing and talking to them about what they eat.

Identify the foods your kids are eating that are rich in calories but lacking in nutritional value. Examples: candy, fast food, chips, cookies, soda pop, and pizza. Replace these foods with fresh nutrient dense foods such as vegetables, fruits, whole grains, lean meats and low fat dairy.

How much activity do your kids get?

Computers, video games, and satellite T.V. are our children's latest and greatest toys. Who has time to play outside when you are about to beat the hardest level, or your favorite show is about to start? Our kids participate in less physical activity and are more sedentary than any generation before.

Do you know how much physical activity your kids get each day? Some parents may think that kids are getting an hour of P.E. each day, only to find out that the school has dropped its P.E. classes.

A great way to encourage activity is to limit the time your children spend on sedentary activities, such as T.V and video games. Sign your kids up on a local sports team so that they can run and be active with other kids. Take the whole family to the park on a weekend instead of gathering in front of the T.V.

Monkey see monkey do

This issue really boils down to one factor: Parental Example. Your kids watch what you do even when you wish they wouldn't, and this is certainly true when it comes to diet and exercise.

Do you model good eating habits, or do your kids see you indulge? Do you exercise regularly, or do your kids see you on the couch in front of the television all weekend?

As a parent, it is your unique responsibility to teach your children the habits that lead to good health. Since you know that obese children have a greater chance of remaining obese into adulthood, thus greatly increasing the likelihood of serious health problems, this isn't a responsibility that you take lightly.

If your eating habits and activity level have slipped it may be time for you to turn things around. It's never too late to set a positive example for your kids - the key is to act now.

Contact me today to get started on a program that will transform your body and renew your lifestyle. There's nothing better for motivation than dropping a few sizes!

The 12 minutes Corporate Warrior Workout

Physical exercise is the most important beneficial factor in maintaining the balanced dose of positive mental and physical energy that allows a corporate person to face any challenges while travelling. Here are some tips to help you stay energized throughout your days:

Be realistic

You probably won't be able to fit in your normal weekly workouts, and that's okay. Shoot for completing at least 50% of your normal regimen.

Plan ahead

Before leaving town, find out what type of workout facilities your accommodations will have or if there is a nearby park or jogging track (weather permitting, of course).

Scope out local gyms

If you are staying somewhere that doesn't provide a workout area, then inquire at nearby fitness centers for their rates. Often they offer day passes for minimal fees.

Pack a pair of light dumbbells or Tubing in your suitcase

The dumbbells or Tubing take up very little space, yet can provide you with an entire upper and lower body workout routine.

Be creative

Find unique, fun ways to exercise instead of doing the same routine you do when you are at home. Try biking, hiking, water-skiing, beach volleyball, etc. Effective workouts aren't limited to the standard walking, jogging and fitness machines.

Try out your travel routine at least once at home

A new workout that you've never done before will require more time and preparation. You can either hire a personal trainer to show you the routine once or twice, or buy a video DVD like the Total Body Work that I created and made available at the #1 Spa/Resort in the World, Miraval Life In Balance. Being prepared help you avoid any frustration and the temptation leading to use it as an excuse not to workout.

Prepare your snacks.

If your journey includes a lot of time in the in the plane or in the car, be sure to pack some healthy snacks so you aren't forced to eat at the fast food and convenience shops along the way. The key to success in maintaining a balanced energy level is to eat 5 to 6 small meals spaced every three hours, rather that 1 or 2 big ones.

Fool around in the pool

If lounging poolside is part of your vacation plans, then jump in the pool every 20 minutes for 5-10 minutes of pool walking or running.

Here is a quick, simple 12 minute circuit workout that only requires dumbbells or a resistance band and can be done anywhere. Complete at least one set of 12 to 20 reps of each exercise. Rest minimally between sets. This workout should not take you more than 12 minutes.

Push-up: 20 repetitions

Overhead Shoulder Press: 20 repetitions

Biceps Curls: 20 repetitions

Triceps Dips: 20 repetitions

Bend-Over Rows: 20 repetitions

Front Raises: 20 repetitions

Lunges: 20 repetitions

Calf Heel-raises: 20 repetitions

Hamstring dead lifts: 20 repetitions

Abdominal crunches: 20 repetitions
