Collected Fitness Wisdom #8
If you are training to get fitter, lose some body fat or get stronger then you have no business doing tricep kickbacks and concentration curls. If you want a quick experiment in increasing metabolism, try the following. Do a clean and press for 3 sets of 15 reps with a minute rest between sets. Next do 3 sets of 15 reps with your favourite isolation exercise. Which one really got your body going?
~James Kerrison
To reach high levels of physical and personal success you must approach your training, and your entire life, as an endeavor in constant growth. The ultimate truth is, you are either moving forward or moving backward; growing or dying. There’s no such thing as comfortably maintaining.
To grow, you must step above past achievements; beyond your perceived boundaries and limits. That means stepping out of the known, into the unknown; out of the familiar and into the unfamiliar; out of the comfortable into the uncomfortable. You must get out of your comfort zone.
~Tom Venuto
The majority of women are not suffering from the big muscles they think they are. A lot of women never get lean enough to see the other side of things. This is because your body fat levels are too high to show any definition. Mix that with a lifting program you just end up looking fatter, but firmer. I should note that some like this look. Remember nothing is "wrong" here.
~Leigh Peele (discussing body perception and "bulking up")
I think a fundamental cause of human failure is the inability to overcome fear and push through the pain of challenge.
~Doug Jackson
Fundamentally, food is fuel. The only other reasons we eat is for socializing and for emotional reasons. This probably ruffles feathers, but I am basically saying that all eating is emotional, especially overeating and unhealthy eating.

Halfway There
2009 is now officially half over.
Are you where you want to be? Did you make New Year's resolution in January? If so, are you halfway to your goals?
Have you taken control of your health and fitness?
If not, it's not too late. There's still plenty of time to get stronger / lose weight / improve your health - whatever you want.
If you live in Lancaster and want the guidance of a fitness coach along with the support and camaraderie of a group, you're in luck. No Pink Dumbbells indoor bootcamp starts this Monday, July 6th at Body & Soul Fitness.
If you're serious about getting the body you want, bootcamp is for you. The training sessions will be challenging but will be adapted (as needed) for the fitness level of each participant. However, if you don’t like to sweat, work hard, or breathe heavily, then No Pink Dumbbells is definitely not for you. If you’re looking for a magic pill or gadget that will give you a lean, toned body with no effort, please don’t enroll.
If you are ready to work hard, have fun, and get fit call me today at (717) 509-7777.
Training takes place Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 6:30 PM at Body & Soul.
If you are interested in daytime bootcamp, let me know.
You CAN lose weight and get fit without doing hours of boring treadmill or elliptical workouts. Try my fat blasting boot camp workouts for 2 weeks; if it’s not for you, I’ll refund your money. What have you got to lose besides excess inches?
Don’t miss this opportunity. Whether you take action now or not, in 4 weeks you will be one month older. Will you be a few pounds heavier or 5-10 pounds lighter and closer to your ultimate goal? The choice is yours; call me today at (717) 509-7777 to register or for more information.

Done For You Meal Plans
If I had a nickel for every member or personal training client that told me they "eat right" or "know what to eat", I'd have a whole lot of nickels. These are the same people who continue to eat the same way and then wonder why they're not losing weight even though they're exercising.
You can't out-train a bad diet. I've said it over and over and I'll keep saying it.
Although I think some of those people were just being dishonest, I also believe that many people really are clueless about proper nutrition. They're misinformed about what constitutes healthy food and, thanks to restaurants, often have distorted ideas of portion sizes.
If you struggle with what to eat, proper portions, etc. you should check out Empowered Nutrition. Empowered Nutrition is a program containing 12 week of "done for you" meal plans. It also comes with multiple bonuses, weekly grocery lists, a food substitution guide, a fat loss tracker workbook, and over 1200 meals designed and timed for you.
If you're ready to dump the fat and learn how to make good nutrition a lifestyle, now is the time. The guys at Empowered Nutrition are offering a half price sale but it ends tonight at 12:00 midnight PST.

What Should I Eat?
For the most part, I'm not a fan of strict diets- obsessing over every meal, never eating a cookie, counting every calorie, etc. It's too time consuming and overwhelming for most people. I don't think it's a good strategy because very few people will maintain that type of eating long term so they'll end up regaining any weight they lost (and probably more).
One of the reasons I like Brad Pilon's Eat Stop Eat is because it's flexible. You fast 1-2 days a week and then simply eat responsibly the rest of the time.
I do realize though that there are many people who really want some concrete guidance on what constitutes good nutrition. And, with all the deceptive marketing coming from the food industry, it's no wonder.
Some of you want a specific step-by-step guide of what you should eat right now to lose weight and be healthier. You want to eliminate the guesswork. You want to learn exactly what comprises a healthy meal so that you can make good nutrition part of your lifestyle.
If any of that sounds like you, check out Empowered Nutrition, a nutrition program containing 12 week of "done for you" meal plans. Empowered Nutrition also comes with multiple bonuses, weekly grocery lists, a food substitution guide, a fat loss tracker workbook, and over 1200 meals designed and timed for you.
