Enough Already! Stop Coming Up With New Weight Loss Programs…
January 31, 2007
Great weight loss techniques are completely worthless.
That’s a true statement 99.7% of the time.
Great weight loss techniques are a scam on oneself.
That’s also a true statement 99.7% of the time.
Great weight loss techniques NEVER make you thin, lean, healthy, or sexy!
Also a true statement 99.7% of the time.
Great weight loss techniques waste your time, and get you really frustrated..
Again, a true statement 99.7% of the time.
Great weight loss techniques almost ruined my life and my business.
I stopped it - As soon as I saw this horrifying trend in the industry years ago, I stopped testing our new technique after new technique on my clients.
You might think that makes me sound like a quitter - but let me explain how this simple ’step back’ allowed my clients to all take 10 steps forward towards their goals.
I define Information Overload as: A condition whereby weight loss techniques come to you in such abundance that you have trouble keeping up with all of them.
Womens Golf Equality
January 31, 2007
Women have been trying for years to be viewed as equal competition for men, especially in sports. Unfortunately, society fails to measure women’s abilities on the same scale as men’s abilities. Golf is one of few sports that show great potential for women and men to compete on the same level. Recently, there have been many developments in the world of women’s golf.
Women’s golf has been become extremely popular over the past few years and there are currently as many professional women golfers as there are men. Golf equipment companies have also recognized the amount of women interested in the sport and have customized many pieces of golf equipment including golf clubs, drivers and golf bags to be more comfortable for women. You can also have your own golf equipment custom-made; making golfing more comfortable and efficient for women since men’s clubs were often to big. These are just a few of the steps which have been taken to welcome women into the world of golf and ensure that they are comfortable and treated as equally as possible.
The Economics of Self Defense
January 30, 2007
The following is a recent email I received; I thought I should respond to the list rather than to the individual because this situation is common:
"I’m a 52 year old guy who has been pretty active lifting weights for about 20 years but about a year ago I found myself in a situation where a guy suckered me and I friggin was so intimidated that I walked away with my tail between my legs. Thankfully the only damage was to my ego cause I totally wimped out in front of my buddies who were there… but more importantly I realized that I was totally unprepared to defend either myself or my family should the occasion arise.
Hey…even guys my age can realize they missed out on being prepared. So anyway I appreciate your newsletters and your videos. I’m learning a lot from them… just wish your place was closer so I could spar… the biggest thing holding me back is the fear is that I could permanently damage or kill somebody with a blow because I’m pretty strong… this fear holds me back a lot…. it’s hard for me to say “him or me”… if you know what I mean. Also training on a heavy bag has shown me how poorly conditioned I am cause I get tired really fast… just in a couple of months though I’ve seen an increase in stamina from the training."
Wheel Chairs and Curb Ramps
January 30, 2007
Impact of curb ramps on people with mobility impairments
Curb ramps are designed to provide access to people who use wheeled forms of mobility. Without curb ramps, people who use wheelchairs would not be able to independently access the sidewalk and street. However, not all wheelchairs perform the same on a curb ramp. Common types of wheeled mobility devices include manual and powered wheelchairs, as well as powered scooters. Each type of technology will benefit from different aspects of the curb ramp design. For example, most powered mobility devices are maneuverable in small spaces due to their short wheelbase. Scooters have a longer wheelbase but have manual steering, and most can perform a three-point turn in tight spaces. Manual wheelchairs can turn on their own wheelbase but are difficult to steer on a cross slope as they tend to turn downhill.
Golf Fitness Training Made Easy?And Anyone Can Do It
January 29, 2007
Golf fitness training might sound grueling, sweaty and a lot of work! Doesn’t have to be that way. Now of course I’d be lying to you to say it’s easy and you won’t have to make a small commitment to stick with it to see results.
But what I am saying is?you can participate in a golf fitness training program with minimal equipment and can do it right in your home or even your office.
How ?
With only a stability ball, exercise tubing and a pair of handweights. Grand total?under $60 for your "total golf fitness gym". That’s about one months membership to your local club that you’ll visit once or twice and never go back (but keep paying every month).
I want you to get that picture out of your head of the "muscle-bound" hulk, heaving hundreds of pounds with on arm, slamming it to the floor and letting out the infamous LOUD GRUNT for attention.
No..you’ll be doing golf-specific exercises with bands, balls and handweights that will quickly and directly benefit your golf swing. Sports conditioning or in this instance golf fitness training requires you to use your body in space incorporating balance, stabilization and sequence of timing just like your golf swing.
Yoga Your Way To A Happy Vacation

Yoga Your Way To A Happy Vacation
There have been many studies into holiday stress. Sadly, those studies show that such stress does exist; that summer vacation can actually prove more stressful than the rest of the year. It is ironic that millions of people dream all year of that escape from the daily grind, only to transport that daily grind to other locations. Delayed flights at the airport; hotel rooms with a view of a builders yard; cold food that should have been hot; mosquitoes who pay you much more attention than the waiter and hotel manager. All examples of possible stress factors.
If you think about it, that is not surprising. Remember as a child when you first learnt to ride a bike? You were taught not to ride as fast as you can and then slam on the front brake? Stop too suddenly, and you will go flying over the handlebars; breaking hard and late at a crossroads could send you not only over the handlebars, but into the flow of traffic coming across. That sounds very risky and dangerous. So what were you taught to do? Anticipate the crossroads and apply the brakes slowly, in advance. Come to a gentle stop so that you can proceed, fully aware of the hazards.
Home Gym Workout Routines
January 28, 2007
Home gym workout routines can take the hassle out of staying healthy. How often have you claimed your busy schedule as the reason you could not get to the gym? How many times have you skipped a workout you knew would make you feel better because the fatigue of traffic and the pace of a gym with trainers were too much for your work weary mind?
Well, say good bye to the excuses standing in your way because home gym workout routines are the answer for your busy schedule. The key to a successful home gym workout routine is scheduling yourself time.
Even though you are working out at home, you still need to hold yourself accountable to your own body. Setting aside a little time will make your workouts less stressful because you will already have that time framed for the activity.
Home gym workout routines can be tailored to meet your specific needs and available equipment. Try a treadmill workout routine to get yourself started and you can do that today. With a treadmill walking program you can work legs and even tone abs and arms.
Lift More Now - Weight Less Forever!
January 28, 2007
It’s week three, and you’ve already learned the importance of drinking plenty of water, and by now, are seeing and feeling the countless benefits of cardiovascular exercise, or walking. So, it’s time to turn it up a notch. Let’s add weights to our weekly program, to reshape your body, and your mind!
Weight training is one of the most important parts of your life-long exercise program. In fact, the American College of Sports Medicine now recommends weight training for every adult. The sooner you start weight training, the more muscle you’ll keep. It’s a use-it-or-lose-it phenomenon.
Weight training is also a great area in which to practice mental imagery. You can imagine your muscles getting firmer and bigger as you perform your weight training exercises. You’ll be pleasantly surprised at how this simple tool will help keep you motivated, and will help yield a higher return on your exercise investment!
Keep in mind, building muscles by lifting weights does more than make you look and feel better. It speeds up your metabolism! Which is great news to anyone trying to lose weight or get fit. Lifting weights also gives you more energy, allows you to eat more food, and recaptures lost youth.
The Ultimate Swing Training Program
January 27, 2007
Why isn’t your golf swing improving? Have you ever had your golf swing analysed? That’s not just having a golf professional look at your swing but check out your golf swing plane, posture, your spine angle, balance and general biomechanics. If you haven’t you are not having a true swing analysis done.
You understand the basics… how to hold the club, where to stand, but things go wrong from there. The reason your golf swing goes astray when you take your club back is because your biomechanics are faulty. For example, if you have a functional short leg on your left side, when you take your stance your hips will rotate resulting in an open stance. You might think that you are square to the target line, but you are not.
Why You Should Use A Treadmill Or Run Outside
January 27, 2007
There’s a distinct difference between running outside and on treadmill, and they both have their positives and negatives. The top notch benefit of using a treadmill is that you will never have to contend with the elements of being outside, which depending on where you are in world can get bitterly cold or sizzling hot.
There’s a cushioned surface on the treadmill that will lessen the impact of running, which can reduce the number of shin splints that occur from outside running. There are motivational factors that make a treadmill a very appealing form of exercising where you have the power to manually adjust your terrain with different speeds, all controlled by you and your fingertips.
Depending on where you are, it may be extremely difficult to find such terrain differences to ensure that you have a diverse running path, something that a treadmill can offer at all times.
The downside to the treadmill if there is one is that it confines you the size of the treadmill, which in turn will limit the amount of capable movement you can perform.
