4 things that will make your world brighter

Here are four things you can do this week to make your world a brighter place

  1. Smile at everyone you meet and look them in the eye.
    Yep it might freak some people out but that just makes it more enjoyable :).Seriously, do you ever notice how you can walk by people on the street, or get in an elevator with and they don’t even acknowledge that you are there? Did I engage my cloaking device and forget I had turned it on? Sorry, old Star Trek reference LOL A smile costs you nothing to give away. Don’t under estimate the happiness you can bring to someones day. It will make you feel better as well.
  2. Give everyone the benefit of the doubt, if only for one day and see how it feels. Did someone tick you off? do something that you find annoying or just plain rude? Don’t assume they are intentionally being a bone head. Chances are they are so caught up in the drama of their own life they are completely unaware of how they have effected you. And if they did know, chances are most people would do something to make amends. Or not. And if not, there is no reason to let it ruin  your day.
  3. Do 30 squats followed by 8 push ups twice a day every day for two weeks. Then tell me if you don’t feel stronger in 14 days
  4. Breathe deeply every day. Take a deep breath in for the count of 10. Hold for a count of 20. Exhale for a count of 10. Make Sure you are sitting the first few times you try this, to make sure you don’t get a head rush or feel dizzy. Oxygen is powerful stuff and if you are in the habit of breathing shallow the increase of oxygen can sometimes cause dizziness. Deep breathing offers a host of anti-ageing and health benefits.

If not now, When?



The U.S. SURGEON GENERAL REPORTS:

“Obesity is now the number one reversible cause of death in the United States.”

THE STATS IN CANADA ARE SADLY NOT MUCH DIFFERENT

Obesity has become such an epidemic that for the first time in recent history researchers are predicting that children may have a shorter lifespan than adults.

  • In the United States alone, more than 64% of adults are overweight or obese.
    • Nearly 30% of Americans have 20 or more pounds to lose.
    • Nearly one third of American children under 18 are overweight.
    • Nine million people in the United States have more than 100 pounds to lose.

Wake up people…this is not how life was meant to be lived!
You can not live to your fullest potential when you are carrying
around so much extra baggage. I know, I have been 65 pounds
heavier than I now am. And I can tell you 100%, life is
better without the extra fat – and I will even tell you why
(those of you who know me are not surprised at this)

  • The obvious…
    You will be healthier, have more energy, have lower
    blood pressure, lower cholesterol levels, less stress on your
    heart, you won’t degenerate at lightening speed, your joints will thank you
  • You can wear a sexy little tank top without fear of having
    to cover your arms
  • You will have more energy to live your life, energy to play with
    your kids, energy to have a dance party in your living room
    simply because there is a kick ass new song on the radio
    that you love! You can play hockey without feeling like
    your lungs are going to explode.
  • You will have better sex ( and maybe more of it :) but I
    can’t promise
  • You will look and feel sexy in a bathing suit..and naked!
  • Because when you run into your ex you can say ” Ha, you
    lose sucker…you can look but the days of touching this hot
    bod are OVER!” and he/she will wish they hadn’t been
    such a Jack@ss Looking like a rock star is the BEST
    revenge
  • You won’t be dead before your kids have kids
  • You will be more confident
  • Shopping will no longer be a chore
  • Your body will feel awesome!
  • Plug in any number of your own reasons….

Are you tired of being tired? Have you had enough
of the fact your “fat” jeans only go to your knees?

I apologize now if I have offended anyone. Sometimes you
need to hear the hard cold facts in order for reality to hit home.
If you are offended perhaps you can ask yourself why ? Does it make you realize all your excuses for not losing the fat are lame at best?

Take the path to a new, stronger, leaner, healthier version of you
starting now! Today is a fabulous day to start focusing on the body you desire, the energy levels you choose to have. Your current body is nothing more than an accumulation of every choice you have made up to this point in time. If you are not happy with the results, start making different choices.

Failure is not an option – there’s nothing left but to do it!

Call or email today and get started on the next chapter of your life!

is to go on an adventure. And the greatest adventure is not going to

the moon -

the greatest adventure is going to your own innermost core.”

A Women’s Week At the Gym

This is an oldie but goody of one women’s  perspective on a week at the gym.

I am sure non of my clients think of me this way?? LOL

———————————————————————————————-

A WOMAN’S WEEK AT THE GYM
If you read this without laughing out loud, there is something wrong
with you. This is dedicated to everyone who ever attempted to get into
a regular workout routine.

Dear Diary,
For my birthday this year, my husband purchased a week of personal
training at the local health club for me.

Although I am still in great shape since being a high school football
cheerleader 43 years ago, I decided it would be a good idea to go
ahead and give it a try.

I called the club and made my reservations with a personal trainer
named Christo, who identified himself as a 26-year-old aerobics
instructor and model for athletic clothing and swim wear.

Friends seemed pleased with my enthusiasm to get started! The club
encouraged me to keep a diary to chart my progress.

________________________________
MONDAY:
Started my day at 6:00 a.m. Tough to get out of bed, but found it was
well worth it when I arrived at the health club to find Christo
waiting for me. He is something of a Greek god– with blond hair,
dancing eyes, and a dazzling white smile.  Woo Hoo!!

Christo gave me a tour and showed me the machines. I enjoyed watching
the skilful way in which he conducted his aerobics class after my
workout today. Very inspiring!

Christo was encouraging as I did my sit-ups, although my gut was
already aching from holding it in the whole time he was around. This
is going to be a FANTASTIC week!!

________________________________
TUESDAY:
I drank a whole pot of coffee, but I finally made it out the door.
Christo made me lie on my back and push a heavy iron bar into the air
then he put weights on it!  My legs were a little wobbly on the
treadmill, but I made the full mile.  His rewarding smile made it all
worthwhile. I feel GREAT!  It’s a whole new life for me.

_______________________________
WEDNESDAY:
The only way I can brush my teeth is by laying the toothbrush on the
counter and moving my mouth back and forth over it.  I believe I have
a hernia in both pectorals.  Driving was OK as long as I didn’t try to
steer or stop. I parked on top of a GEO in the club parking lot.

Christo was impatient with me, insisting that my screams bothered
other club members.  His voice is a little too perky for that early in
the morning and when he scolds, he gets this nasally whine that is
VERY annoying.

My chest hurt when I got on the treadmill, so Christo put me on the
stair monster.  Why the hell would anyone invent a machine to simulate
an activity rendered obsolete by elevators?  Christo told me it would
help me get in shape and enjoy life.  He said some other shit too.

_______________________________
THURSDAY:
Asshole was waiting for me with his vampire-like teeth exposed as his
thin, cruel lips were pulled back in a full snarl.  I couldn’t help
being a half an hour late– it took me that long to tie my shoes.

He took me to work out with dumbbells. When he was not looking, I ran
and hid in the restroom.  He sent some skinny bitch to find me.

Then, as punishment, he put me on the rowing machine– which I sank.
_________________________________
FRIDAY:
I hate that bastard Christo more than any human being has ever hated
any other human being in the history of the world. Stupid, skinny,
anemic, anorexic, little aerobics instructor.  If there was a part of
my body I could move without unbearable pain, I would beat him with
it.

Christo wanted me to work on my triceps.  I don’t have any triceps!
And if you don’t want dents in the floor, don’t hand me the damn
barbells or anything that weighs more than a sandwich.

The treadmill flung me off and I landed on a health and nutrition
teacher.  Why couldn’t it have been someone softer, like the drama
coach or the choir director?

________________________________
SATURDAY:
Satan left a message on my answering machine in his grating, shrilly
voice wondering why I did not show up today.  Just hearing his voice
made me want to smash the machine with my planner; however, I lacked
the strength to even use the TV remote and ended up catching eleven
straight hours of the Weather Channel..

________________________________
SUNDAY:
I’m having the Church van pick me up for services today so I can go
and thank GOD that this week is over.  I will also pray that next year
my husband will choose a gift for me that is fun– like a root canal
or a hysterectomy.  I still say if God had wanted me to bend over, he
would have sprinkled the floor with diamonds!!!

Testimonial by Kelly

Just wanted to say THANK YOU x1000000 for your continued support over the past year and for helping me meet my fitness goals (not that I’m 100% there but man, closer than I have EVER been!). I can’t BELIEVE 2010 is already over, and that I have stuck with the program for a full year.  Even though my last measurements may not have reflected how I felt, (haha damn Christmas holidays) I can honestly say that I have never felt better; I have never believed the notion of “they’re just numbers” more than this time around that’s for sure!  Between continuing to feel my pants get a tad bigger (could it be that I MAY have to go to a size 4?  Crazy to think that!) and having to get my ring re-sized since it was flying off my finger on me, the benefits and results continue to amaze me, as does your constant enthusiasm and motivation and ever-changing camps.  I’m excited for another exciting year ahead, and it’s so great to see that so many others have jumped on the Boot Camp Goddess bandwagon!
