Time & ENERGY

Time is finite, Energy can be expanded

Do you respect time?
Do you waste or Optimize?

Do you ‘adventure’ with energy?
Do you waste or Optimize?


I’ve just had a walk with Kona (the Pineapple Uber-HUND) – beautiful sunshine, fantastic vistas. What an expanse of energy!
a.) The joy and kinetic dynamism of Kona chasing her tennis ball
b.) The heat warmth and solar energy from the Sun
c.) The audio energy from birds
d.) The visual energy from the surrounding landscape
e.) The nutritious energy from the chunks of pineapple fruit I was chewing

I further spent the time sharing, caring and enjoying

1. What about working-out
2. Does your workout respect time?
3. Does it ensure ultimate efficiency
4. Does it expand your energy

The Pineapple technology is an energy transfer device (think of the above scene with energy bombarding me.) This is exactly how the Pineapple Bio-oscillation works – bombarding your body with safe, comfortable energy stimulating all your systems

That’s why it becomes so time-efficient and amazingly ultra-effective.

Are you Juicing?
It you want Optimum lifestyle…

"B"..."BE!"

It’s not what you do, it’s who you are being. Be fun.

Optimize your Lifestyle - explore, adventure and seize opportunity through fun.

Being in life is to give birth to yourself. Live imagination, possibility, creativity, inspiration … with fun.
It’s like a butterfly. First it is given birth as a caterpillar. Then it transforms, it gives birth to itself as a butterfly. We are very much the same. We are born into body, and then we discover who we really are…we transform ourselves into who we want to be.
...Then we fly!

Get ready to Juice. (J-day minus 4!)

Create

"Creativity can be described as letting go of certainties.”
-Gail Sheehy, (Pathfinders, 1981)

What is certain anyway? If anything, certainty is just a habit. We are certainly creatures of habit. But it can certainly get boring.

It’s time to break the mold, razzle things up, create a new paradigm! There are infinite possibilities out there, and within each one of us!

I'm crafting through a creative zone at the moment. So get ready for some ULTRA-juice in '09

Remember everything is just stimulation.
a.) It either causes an adaptation or not.
b.) We all want the fresh stimulation and exciting adaptation
c.) But it can seem a frightening step.

"If you want to reach a new island, you have to be prepared to swim!"

Pineapple constantly forces fresh "creation" in your body.

Do you want fresh, and exciting adaptation with your training? Are you ready for a new paradigm!

'09 will be the year of JUICE!
Get ready to create a new lifestyle for yourself
OPTIMIZE!

1. Christmas to Newyear
2. Newyear to Christmas

It's all about the second one. What do you do between Newyear and Christmas?
"It's not the will to win, it's the will to prepare to win"

I trust you are enjoying a fabulous Festive period. Don't worry too much what you are eating, drinking etc...
It's all about what you do N to C, not C to N
C to N - is about gearing yourself mentally for the wonders of your Newyear action

Hugs

Sending a Hug to all you Pineappleologists

Hugs
It's wondrous what a hug can do
A hug can cheer you when you're blue
A hug can say "I love you so"
Or "Gee, I hate to see you go."
A hug is "Welcome back again"
And "Great to see you, where've you been?"
A hug can smooth a small child's pain
And bring a rainbow after rain.
The hug: There's just no doubt about it
We scarcely could survive without it.
A hug delights and warms and charms --
It must be why God gave us arms.
Hugs are great for Fathers and Mothers,
Sweet for sister, swell for brothers
And chances are your favorite aunts
Love them more than potted plants.
Kittens crave them, puppies love them,
Heads of State are not above them.
A hug can break the language barrier
And make your travels so much merrier.
No need to fret about your store of them
The more you give the more there's more of 'em,
So stretch those arms without delay
And give someone a hug today!
~~Dean Walley

Party

"Yeah baby!"... We're in the middle of the Festive party season. I trust you are having a fabulous, fun time.

A great party has tonnes of stimulation
a.) Fresh conversations, faces, even some new dance moves by your friends!

What about your training?
(I'm not going to go on about how you should keep up your training even over the holiday period - that's over-bandied conversation, Blah, blah...boring)
NO
What about the "party" your body should have when it trains

Think about how much fun you're having at various parties now. Your whole body could have that daily - with the right training.
Training that
a.) Galvanizes fresh action in your body
b.) Boosts feel-good hormones
c.) Doesn't have any detriment (think "NO hangover!"

Welcome to Pineapple!
JUICE-UP!

Enjoy a fun-party in your whole body every time.
Excite, stimulate and without damage or detriment.

Full-ON!

Been having alot of fun with Kona (the UberHund - see the videos on the PineappleFitness.com site) today.

1. Interesting to observe she is in full mode or Recovery (sleep) mode

2. How do you live life.
a.) Do you drift through in a 'semi-state' - with some little 'peaks' and 'valleys'
b.) or full mode - with only recovery process to rejuvenate you ready for the next fun activity?

And what about your fitness training?

3. Basic muscle physiology describes how a muscle is "all or nothing" - ie. a muscle fiber is either recruited or not.

4. Remember you have lots of muscle fibers (bundled) to form a muscle - so you can have only a % of your muscle actually in full mode

The Pineapple SECRET is that is activates more muscle fibers (all in FULL MODE) than is possible in any traditional training method
a.) Meaning you can get a "FULL-ON" effect
b.) Giving you optimum results

Turn it up - Live life FULL-ON

Geometry

How many geometrists do you know? the... "I think outside the box!" brigade

1. Yeah - sure!
a.) You've already constructed a box - which you're then saying you think out of - to illustrate a great breadth of thought and vision.
b.) sadly mistaken they are.
c.) a constructed paradigm to foster self-belief and positive thought process

2. News-flash!
a.) action is everything

In fact
a.) Everything exists and nothing exists

Further
there is continuous action every milli-second of our lives
a.) We either choose to tap into or not
b.) Think of it like a Rheostat on a light - it's always on, you either choose to shine the light or dim it to what looks like off

Are you working with action? or hiding (pretending it doesn't exist)
a.) A little like the 'pretenders' who "think outside the box"
b.) Flourish - Be Free - FLY!

What about your fitness?
a.) Does it tap into the continuous 'surge of energy' that exists around you constantly
b.) Does it 'expand and adventure' new 'territories' in your body.

JUICE-UP
OPTIMIZE YOUR LIFE

a little...

Here's a super quote "nobody made a greater mistake than s/he who did nothing because s/he could do only a little."

1. Alot of people get intimidated by 'little' contributions.
a.) eg. a dime or cent to charities. (If everyone did that all the time - enormous sums would be raised.

2. For Fitness - people have been cajouled into the thinking that an hour was necessary to work out in.
a.) Non-sense
b.) Only a couple of minutes a number of times through the day can be perfect.

3. There's no excuse
a.) It's simply your desire.
b.) Your WANT
c.) what are your health and fitness goals for '09?

4. get a head-start - start now

5. Pineapple full workout's take up to 20 mins
a.) Pineapple will be launching the UBER (v.shortly) - which will allow you to work out in 1-2 minute 'sessions'
b.) Achieve your goals - by simply doing a number of these 1-2 minute 'sessions' through the day.

Easy and fun

"there's a falling rock"

You swiftly look up, scan for the rock, and focus intently to get out of the way.

1. Reaction
2. Response
3. Initiation

Remember the hierarchy of action
Initiate, respond, react
a.) The opposite to what just happened.
b.) Only at the last step, was it something you wanted - and the greatest level of focus.

WHY wait until then to really focus (and to really start initiating action to get you exactly what you want?)

What do you want? What are you prepared to focus on?

Pineapple Fitness causes
a.) Initiation of more cellular action in your body that you can ever achieve alone
b.) There is further response
c.) And further reaction
Leading to your optimum result.

What do you really want - so you are prepared to really focus
Come and Pineapple to ensure total INITIATION

Move

I was chatting with a client earlier - and he mentioned an infomercial that describes a light switch that you only have to clap your hands to turn the light on or off.
The premise was to allow people not to have to lower themselves towards the floor to turn the light on or off.

1. This is the damaged society we have created - where we are trying to nullify one of basic human tenants - "Movement"

2. We need to create "excitement" to be able/and to cherish the joy of movement

3. Everything is movement (my client and I then proceeded to talk at depth) about mental movement.
a.) Again a huge premise for healthy functioning.
b.) An agile, motioned mind - excites and adventures for the optimum solution

4. If water lies still or stagnant it becomes polluted.
a.) Even "dirty" water can be cleaned by agitation
b.) The key is movement
c.) Remember we are over 70% water.
d.) Our secret of wellness, health and vitality is 'movement"
e.) Engaging our cells with safe levels of motion/movement as much as possible

5. Pineapple is a technology that activates cell tissue. Energizing them with movement/motion

Rules

I don't think they're ever set. Merely guidelines within a time-frame of life, that allow a status quo prevalence.

1. Look at the Rules that were "set", then broken - and proven not really to be rules but just guidelines within a time-frame of life
a.) Print media control v's the Internet and the 'google' explosion
b.) Gas v's sustainable energy
c.) etc...

2. In the fitness world
a.) the Long slow workout v's short high intensity
b.) No weight training for women v's muscle toning fat burning workout's for women

3. Here's an interesting quote
“Those who understand only what can be explained understand very little.” (Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach (1830-1916))
a.) a little on the lines of 'there is nothing, but there is also everything'

4. What are new evolutions of rules?
a.) Transparent marketing and communication
b.) Sustainable lifestyle

5. How about for Fitness
a.) Transparent communication of principles that will ensure the optimum workout for you
b.) A 'sustainable' fitness workout
Yeah!

TIME

Going through a fresh phase of hiring staff at the moment - as we expand the pineapple planet.

1. A question that frequently comes up is "how much do i get paid an hour"

2. There's a great quote
"You don't get paid for the hour -- you get paid for the value you bring to that hour"

I'd even go beyond that.

The lowest paid people in the world think that they get paid for the hour of work. That's why they stay low paid. The person who works at the grocery store thinks he's getting paid for the hours they stand there. And until they change that paradigm they'll always be a low paid 'by the hour' worker.

More successful people think they get paid for the value that they create within that time frame.

The most successful people understand that the time spent is irrelevant, it's ONLY the value. So they no longer think in terms of time -- and if they do -- it's in reverse -- that getting the job done faster is worth more.

If I can deliver the perfect training program to get your result in 30 mins, and another coach needs an hour -- am I not worth more? I can deliver the result in half the time that they can - I should be worth at least twice as much.

In training (and in most things - including business) the result is the ONLY thing that matters -- designing programs or charging 'by the hour' is not thinking about value first. I actually pride myself on making the workouts no longer than they need to be. In my opinion doing an extra set is far worse than not doing enough.

ENjiy workouts that work and deliver results. Don't do workouts to fill in a slot of time.
JUICE-UP!

Oh yeah - I think I can achieve much better results (and Safer) in 15 mins than the vast majority on any trainer doing 60-90+ mins training can deliver.
Sign up now - before I'd quadruple prices - remember I giving you better results and in only a quarter of the time!

Failure & Success

Is failure a success?

Is failure part of success?

1. We often talk about both.
a.) Muscle failure - can be the ultimate success of a strength training strategy
b.) A level of 'failure' is certainly a part of success - think about any invention, or major breakthrough - has by nature a level of 'failure' as part of the journey towards the Success.

What are your thoughts?

2. Pineapple is based on complete stimulation of muscle fiber.
a.) I like this terminology - as 'muscle failure' can have levels of associated destruction (breakdown of soft tissue...)
b.) Complete stimulation - focusses on the complete work through the muscle fiber, and in the safest (softest) way possible for all other associated tissue.

3. The "Business Journey of Failure"
a.) Yes - this is by-product of profound success.
b.) On the journey - there will be people that will be "failures" - as they reject the immediate benefit and value
c.) On the journey - there will be 'adjustments' to the product to effect a superior result.
d.) In this arena - precise focus on your vision and the emboldened power to continue is the secret.

4. Just like your training
a.) Are you achieving 'complete stimulation' of the muscle areas closely related to your goals?
b.) Are you focussed and emboldened with power to action towards your goals

Answers before an Exam!

If someone gave you all the answers before an exam - would you take them?

1. Would you want to challenge yourself to see what you knew, but risk levels of failure.
OR
2. Would you happily take all the answers and enjoy total success

I strongly suggest - taking all the answers.
REMEMBER
The exam is only the start-point. A leverage for you to galvanize into life.
Get excited by the challenges in the real world, with the basis of knowledge. (I'm know taking as an assumption you infuze the answers into yourself)

Just like fitness - don't battle now. Use the answers, pass the exam - THEN get into the real fun - LIVING OPTIMALLY

1. Pineapple gives you all the answers for the exam of life
2. We are then here to be your friend and family as you adventure into the fun of real living. Real lifestyle with the tools of fitness you will gain with Pineapple.

The simple answer for fitness is to broach you above a threshold intensity to create an adaptation for your body

...You're right

However you can add one line and it all makes sense.

1. Like alot of things in life.
a.) One small thing can change the whole equation

2. One small thing can alter your whole perspective.

Also - it depends if you're looking for a solution.

If you're still reading - you have the stuff champions are made of. You know there's a solution, and you're progressing towards the reward.

Rock

I spent a few moment this morning (post Surf) holding a small rock by the shore.
a.) How hard it was (I slightly stubbed my toe on it initially!)
b.) yet how weathered it was by the effect of the water.

There was this super-hard object, yet it had been molded by the softness of just some water.

To me this is just like QUALITY training!
1. To be hard, you must be molded by softness!
ie. to really get the optimum effect into your muscle, you need a softness applied to your action.

2. Everything should be a harmony - with your muscles powerfully exerting optimum force, and the rest of you soft and in flow
a.) Visualize your favorite world-class performer - and how their performance looks 'soft' as they flow through their movement. (deep down their muscles are 'hard' and working super intensely)

it's the same for all your training. You need to develop the harmony with yourself to ensure the action muscles are working super intensely (hence will give you a muscled and hard physique) - but with a softness that ensure you are not pounding and damaging your body.

Juice-up! Pineapple's unique BIO-OSCILLATION technology ensures you're in a near-weightless state, ie. almost floating - to ensure you a foundation of softness to your movement
(Further practice will optimize this softness - to ensure your hardness!)

Bigger is better - isn't it? Hell, I'm the "Big Kahuna" of Pineapple!

1. Well certainly not anymore now

2. I had a camera crew around today.
a.) Ultra professional - shooting some coverage for a major TV network on the new amazing Pineapple Orchard.
b.) Well they only had a number of tiny (hand-cam) style cameras! I asked them if that was sufficient!
c.) They laughed - as they knew I was alluding to the BIG film cameras - i was expecting to see.
d.) "These shoot far higher QUALITY" - they stated. (Although they did share that when shooting some 'movie-stars' - some of the stars requested they only shoot with the BIG cameras.) - (needless to say - these were the 'pretend' super-stars.)

3. Anyway - as you can see it's not the size it's the quality.

4. This is super prevalent in the fitness world
a.) It's not how BIG a workout is - It's the QUALITY

5. Similarly the size of a muscle doesn't correlate with it's total size and function either.
a.) The QUALITY of the muscle is THE most important factor (unless you want to be a bodybuilder)

Winning

I think everyone likes winning - or certainly says they do.

1. The key fact with winning - is there is always a loser aswell

2. Thus - by the nature - it has to be some definition of competition

3. I think the secret - is not so much the "winning" as I believe it's a natural instinct that you'll always choose 'winning' over 'losing' - it's the love of Competition
a.) The enjoyment of challenging yourself.
b.) The excitement of some unknowns. The exploration to fresh territories in your mind & body. The confidence in your spirit to continue

4. You have to love the 'action' - the moments of competition.

5. I resonate with the oft-quoted phrase - "It's not the will to win, it's the will to prepare to win"

3. Amazing what we think is good knowledge - but in reality over time really discover the truth.

I believe we are about to enter a revolution that highlights the massive destruction and suffering the Pharmaceutical industry has impacted on health & fitness

I believe the solution lies in getting to the base route of our function (in fact existence) - ie. we are just bundles of cells
a.) Just bundles of cells oscillating - with specific functions set out.
b.) Functions that if achieved will ensure optimal functioning of our bodies.
c.) Optimal functioning.

Investment

Question: A businessperson has $100,000 and buys a property for $50,000. How much has he got left?

Answer: Not $50k, but $100k (perhaps alot more!)- He has made an investment not an expense. So perhaps if the property was a good investment he might have $150,000

Your health is the same. Invest in it wisely, and you will have bountiful return.

The smartest investments have
1.) The largest upside
2.) combined with the lowest risk.

For your health, you should look for

"Our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate,
but that we are powerful beyond measure.

It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us.
We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant,
gorgeous, handsome, talented and fabulous?

Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.

Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking
so that other people won't feel insecure around you.

We were born to make manifest the glory of God within us.
It is not just in some; it is in everyone.

And, as we let our own light shine, we consciously give
other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our fear,
our presence automatically liberates others."

Expand yourself. Rejoice, Enjoy.

Had a fabulous evening last night at WICKED – the amazing musical of the Witches of Oz (www.wickedthemusical.com)

Life is full of witches! Or should I say “Which’es”

Which decision…
(Choice is abundant)

Big key is which RESULT do you want

Which level of desire do you really have to achieve those results.

Which amount of PAY are you prepared to expend (time, energy or money) for your Goals

Habit

We are all essentially 'creatures of habit.' We love the safety net of a repeated pattern. However we yearn for change (as long as it benefits us!)
In a training-sense, we subconsciously favor certain styles of workout (if they are a favorite)

1. Even in a disciplined manner that constructs a balanced training protocol - there is huge risk of oft-repeated patterns and the ensuing risk of overuse.

2. Remember the workout is the stimulus and the adaptation the result.
a.) hence we want variety and fullness of stimulus.

3. Much recent advance in Training methodology has occurred in this vain
a.) With various styles of "chaos" training applied to try and maintain fresh, varied and wholeness of stimulus

4. Pineapple evolves this to a higher echelon
a.) With its secret tool of Bio-Oscillation to further ensure fresh motor-unit patterns and neurological pathways.
b.) it's like a "party" for you body. Fresh friends and conversations to excite and stimulate you.

Trick or TREAT

Do you get a trick or treat from your workout?

1. Recent research by Maganaris has highlighted how 'traditional current' training has a 'stress shielding' effect on your tendons.
a.) What this means is that as the workload you achieve with your training is transferred to your muscles - your tendons don't receive uniform loading.
b.) Remember the goal is to achieve total uniform stimulation across any tissue to ensure the WHOLE area is strong.
c.) In this instance only parts of your tendon achieve stimulation
d.) and you never know which parts either!
e.) This leads to all number of injuries ranging from "little knicks and crooks" you feel around muscle and bone insertions (that you probably just put down to being 'by-product's" of training - through to inflammed tendons, and even tearing tendons

This is a NASTY trick, from current training methods

2. Pineapple - with its unique BIO-OSCILLATION technology
a.) Activates & amplifies Optimum cell function
b.) meaning it completely stimulates the tendons mentioned above
c.) Hence - why everyone Pineapple training says they feel the "clean, enjoyable sensation" as they train

This is your body receiving a TREAT. Working in optimum unison with its function.

Happy Halloween!

HALF

"Half way up or half-way down" "Half full or half empty"

What's your view?

1. When you exercise- you can only voluntarily recruit about 50% of your muscle fibers
a.) Up your half up/down - full/empty
b.) HOW THEY HECK DO YOU RECRUIT MORE?

2. Proper training - can teach you to recruit more
a.) But this is still limited to perhaps @ 70% of your muscle fibers
b.) and requires increasing expertise

3. Your body has series of mechanisms that limit its voluntary action

4. Pineapple and BIO-OSCILLATION activates and amplifies optimum cell function
a.) it allows for sub-conscious recruitment of more muscle fiber
b.) It allows for the opportunity of 100%

Forget Half - Be at the TOP or be FULL

5. As a close - here's an interesting quote to ponder (as our theme today is half)
“There are only about a half dozen things that make 80% of the difference in any area of our lives.”

Low-FAT

I have just been reading a study that highlighted when people were given a choice of low-fat food or regular food they ate 32% more of the low-fat offering!

This is bad choice, as these low-fat choices are full of artificial substances and unnatural sugars that actually signal your body to store fat!
HOWEVER,
I am amazed at how the "low-fat" sticker helps encourage greater consumption. So perhaps I should market Pineapple as "Low-Fat fitness"
Remember it is the nutrient-density that is the critical element for success with your eating habit

Similarly it is the Quality/Density/recovery - summized as "broaching your Volume Threshold" that's the key success factor in training results.

PINEAPPLE IS LOW-FAT! (and super nutrient dense!)

Hierarchy

"Ranking of Power" - what is your hierarchy?

My Pineapple twist - is there are 3 levels of hierarchy in life - and you can relate these back to any circumstance in your lifestyle and how much 'power' you enjoy

1. (Top) - Initiate
2. Respond
3. React (bottom)

a.) Any scenario where you initiate (means you are top of the hierarchy.) You have complete control and power over the situation. There is nothing more powerful than that

b.) Responding - means you are making a proactive action in relation to (responding) to the initiative unveiled.
This is strong and proactive

c.) Reaction - places you firmly at the bottom of hierarchy - you are at the beckon of the initiative - and being forced into a means (reaction)

How is your training?

Do you initiate all the stimulus in your body to achieve optimum result
Do you respond to the situation or stimulation
Do you react to the command of the stimulation.

a.) 2 identical protocols except one group drank more water.
b.) Result - The group drinking more water lost more bodyfat & weight!

3. The Bottom line of why this happened - is because it allowed the cells in the body to operate correctly
a.) Water is an essential component - hence an important medium for your body to correctly operate
b.) 60%+ of our body is water! In fact 70%+of our brain is water, 90%+ of our lungs!

4. It's all about your cells.

Library

Training, in fact Lifestyle is like a Library.

Building your personal Library you due-diligently continue to add books - that then provide you with the satisfaction and enjoyment that at any moment in time you can pick one up and read or refer to it.

Training is the same - you accumulate fitness, health and skills - that at any point in time you can refer to for fun and enjoyment.

1. Acquiring a "Book" requires effort
a.) In the training analogy - acquiring a book requires the effort to broach your THRESHOLD INTENSITY!

2. It's then really fun and enjoyable once it's in your Library

Do you have a magnificent 'library' and the option of a fantastic lifestyle - that lets you enjoy any activity (ie. books!)
OR
do you have a very limited number of books - that limit your imagination, fun and reduce any inspiration to galvanize you to further echelon's?

GOA--aaaL

Everytime i hear or see the word goal - I get a vision of the South American Soccer commentators as they scream in delight at a goal being scored.
1. Goals are important
2. Goals are exciting

(PS - it's Champion League today - for those into European Soccer - so I'm certainly hoping my team scores lots of goals today!)

In training sense the goal is tO create an adaptation that gets you the result you want
'THE WORKOUT IS THE STIMULUS, ADAPTATION THE GOAL!'

The critical factors for this
THRESHOLD - It must be broached to gain benefit

Are you achieving threshold intensities that will ensure you enjoy the success of your Goals.

Remember the body needs to be provoked to the threshold intensity, it's not merely cumulative. Arithmetic equivalent is never the same as biological equivalence - as we are a wonderful DYNAMIC SYSTEM (not a machine)

OVER-UNDER

Not in the gambling sense! I'm talking about over-stimulation and under-stimulation (which probably still leaves you confused!)

1. In a majority of ways we are 'over-stimulated' (eg. too much info) - and 'under-stimulated' (eg. not achieving greater response or results)

2. I believe enormous amounts of training fall into this category.
a.) Too much volume of training - eg. training for far too long, too many reps, sets ...
b.) Very little result and response in response

3. Success is life - success in training is centered on achieving "threshold intensity'
a.) Getting stimulated that forces the body into a positive adaptation
b.) The stimulus must be high quality - extending beyond what you have experienced before
c.) The length of it is not the key. Achieving the "Threshold" is the key factor.

Following on the from yesterday - a tertiary nature of Pineapple philosophy is "threshold intensity" training
4. Stimulus that gets you results, and not fatigue
5. Stimulus that excites and energizes you, not drains you.

LUCK!

In times like these people refer to “lucky” people.

I think luck is a paradox – certainly there are events that occur that are huge exceptions – but that’s exactly what they are exceptions. I think the choice of action is ‘effort’ – which can ensure guaranteed return. (The biggest key is optimum return on your effort – exactly what we practice at Pineapple Fitness)

I recall a conversation I had when I was part of the World Cup South Africa Rugby team with a South African Sports-legend, the golfer Gary Player. He recounts the number of times people would refer to some of his shots that were “lucky” eg. when he holed out from a bunker etc… He very pointedly made the point that his “luck” was a direct correlation with the hours he would dedicate on his practice sessions!

Yes – ‘luck’ may occur – but it is not something we can choose. Effort we can choose and can also make direct correlation to its benefits.

Are you choosing to be fit and healthy? Are you choosing the most effective and efficient workout’s possible to optimize your effort, and realize the lifestyle you want.

Cash is King, Health is Emperor!

In these continuing tumultuous times - lessons become more glaring and impacting.

1. A foundation to the current challenges on the Financial markets is cash.
a.) Either the lack of it, and the subsequent lack of confidence by institutions to lend
b.) Or the sumptuous of it, and the skillful purchase of stock/equity at very low cost to reap vast opportunity of reward

2. Warren Buffett is in the latter, and is further enhancing his status as the world's richest man - with his adept and skillful purchase of current stocks - eg. his $5 billion+ purchase of Goldman Sachs stock - which i'm sure will reap huge return in the future.

So Cash is KING!

Beautifully, Health is EMPEROR
3. The foundation to total enjoyment of anyone's lifestyle is a bedrock of Health.

4. Are you seeing the lesson in today's Financial challenges, that also mirror into your Lifestyle
a.) And the simple solution attributed to a wonderful health

5. It takes a more long-term view (just like actually saving some cash) - but reaps endless reward.

6. Think of each quality training session, as a savings account with compound interest.
a.) It seems a little intimidating at first, but very quickly the results (savings) amount, and you have a fabulous and sturdy solution to handle all challenges.

ONE

The Power of ONE

One is a very tiny number. However, it can have a tremendous impact on your life.

Make one more call every day at work. One extra call a day equals 260+ calls in a year. How many meetings could you set up with this number of calls and how many of those meetings could you turn into sales? Consider your current conversion ratio and think of the impact on your business.

Invest one day per month developing your skills. Many of the most successful people in business invest in themselves. They attend workshops, conferences, and participate in webinars and tele-seminars on a regular basis. Because the majority of people do not develop their skill, you can quickly out-pace your coworkers and competition.

Read one book every month. Expanding your knowledge will help you become more successful. Read books related to your industry or expand areas of insight to helping you improve your skill in a specific area.

Ask one more question. Before you starting “pitching” your product or service, ask your prospect one more question. This question might give you the additional insight you need to more effectively position your product or service.

Pause for one moment. Known as the pregnant pause, this often prompts the other person to blurt out something they had not intended to say. The secret behind this strategy is that most people are uncomfortable with silence and will begin talking to fill the “dead” air space.

Get to the office one hour early. Remember the expression “The early bird gets the worm.” That one extra hour first thing in the morning can be the most productive time of the day. You have a better chance to reach decision-makers, there are fewer distractions, and you can often achieve more in those 60 minutes than in several hours later in the day.

Send one more email. Sometimes, people need that little push and encouragement to move forward. But, many cases, their time is occupied by other projects and priorities which means they are not focused on your solution. Gentle reminders are often appreciated providing you don’t follow up so frequently you appear to be stalking them. Even though they may not be ready to make that particular buying decision, you will help keep your name in their mind.

Ask one more time for an endorsement or testimonial. Endorsements and testimonials are greatly underutilized by most people in business today. We often ask a client for a testimonial but because they have other priorities, they forget. Call them or send an email and politely request the testimonial again.

Give one more suggestion. Schedule a breakfast meeting or lunch with your customers but instead of trying to sell them something, focus on offering solutions that do not include your products or services and your customers will begin to see you more as a partner than a supplier.

Send one more thank you card or note. Very few sales people make the effort to thank their customers. You can stand out from the crowd by sending handwritten notes to thank customers for their most recent order, meeting with you, or sending an on-time payment. You can also send a note when you see their company mentioned favorably in the news.

There is only ONE You.

THRESHOLD

Threshold, and specifically "threshold intensity" is a key part of my philosophy & principles.

To create change we need a stimulus above what we already receive to encourage an adaptation to take place. This is 'threshold intensity' - ie a stimulus level that forces your body to change and adapt to a new level.

When you train - the key is this QUALITY, not any quantity amount. Think of it as a "money-making" - ie. when you go to work you don't do it for minimum wage reward, you instead aim for maximum pay per the time you worked - "the money-making zone!"

Your body is the same when you train - it's not amount just accumulating time at very low stimulus (ie. the min. wage) - the only exciting area is when you clinch a highly rewarding big dealS and get maximum $ return - this is the THRESHOLD INTENSITY.

We you are in the THRESHOLD INTENSITY it's like you're in a mini "money-making bonanza" - fill your pockets! Exactly like training - it's continuing at that very instant when your systems are 'enjoying' the optimum adaptation environment - if you stop in the THRESHOLD INTENSITY - you turn off your "money-making" and simply go back to "minimum wage" - you're still applying effort, but getting very little reward.

You see it all areas of business - the key to success by all the high-fliers is their incredible return on their time. Every minute they spend on a business deal, they get optimum $ return.
The Pineapple style of training achieves exactly that - OPTIMUM return for your TIME and ENERGY. (Very concise efforts that achieve the optimum results)

Here's a nice quote that exemplifies this (remember the "money-making zone isn't easy - but it's where all the reward and 'goodness' is

The tempered blade looks back and knows better”

How long is a Training Session

Here's a fantastic post by Alwyn Cosgrove - www.alwyncosgrove.blogspot.com

The total comprehension of the Pineapple method and philosophy

Q: I've heard in a previous interview where you mention that billing 'by the hour' is irrelevant when it comes to training people. I just can't get my head around this -- how do you charge people and why isn't time still a factor? Do you call the workouts "mini-sessions" or something?

A: When you want to travel cross country in the USA -- you can choose a flight, or you can choose a bus right?

The bus takes way longer than a flight -- but costs less. It's not about the length of time -- it's about the destination -- the result -- and how it is delivered. In this case -- it's the REVERSE of billing by time -- as the shortest time costs the most money.

A haircut? The barber or hairdresser completes the task and is paid by the task - not by how long it takes. A doctor? Does he or she charge you more if they talk to you for longer? Experts don't get paid by the hour - they get paid by the result.

Back to training - where did an hour of training come from anyway? Is there a science journal out there that I don't now about that showed an hour of training to be more effective than 50 minutes?

An hour is just a measure of time. What you are really doing within that hour is X number of sets of Y number of reps right? Let's say you do 8 exercises, 3 sets of 10 reps each for 24 total sets and 240 total reps.

Then someone else hires you -- and when designing their program you come up with 7 exercises, and 3 sets of 8 reps each. 21 total sets and 168 total reps.

Does the second client get a discount because they did "less"? Of course not. You are using a tool to deliver the result. If you design a perfect program that can be done in 45 minutes -- do you add another 33% more work to fill in the time (and thereby move away from your perfect program)?

You need to change your mindset.

Jim Rohn has a statement that says

"You don't get paid for the hour -- you get paid for the value you bring to that hour"

I'd even go beyond that.

The lowest paid people in the world think that they get paid for the hour of work. That's why they stay low paid. The guy who works at the grocery store thinks he's getting paid for the hours he stands there. And until he changes that paradigm he'll always be a low paid 'by the hour' worker.

More successful people think like Jim Rohn and they think they get paid for the value that they create within that time frame.

The most successful people understand that the time spent is irrelevant, it's ONLY the value. So they no longer think in terms of time -- and if they do -- it's in reverse -- that getting the job done faster is worth more.

If I can deliver the perfect training program to get your result in 30 mins, and another coach needs an hour -- am I not worth more? I can deliver the result in half the time that they can - I should be worth at least twice as much.

In training (and in most things - including business) the result is the ONLY thing that matters -- designing programs or charging 'by the hour' is not thinking about value first. I actually pride myself on making the workouts no longer than they need to be. In my opinion doing one extra set is far worse than not doing enough.

So what do I call a 25 min training session?

Same as what I call a 15 min training session. A training session.

Create workouts that work and deliver results. Don't write workouts to fill in a slot of time.

Pineapple is a different approach to fitness. It's an attitude based on optimizing lifestyle. Get a workout in, BUT ensure it's the optimum workout for you. Something that's going to ensure you achieve your results and improve your lifestyle.
A fast, complete mind and body full workout that achieves more in less time. (almost sounds too good - "change your attitude" - not everything is bullsh*t - Pineapple guarantees results!)

Workout's are very short - so you have more time in your day to enjoy why you expend the time, energy and money to be fit and healthy.
The workout's make you work harder than you've ever worked before, so it guarantee's results, but with a strange and amazing feel-good feeling so that you actually enjoy the action and happily commit it to being part of your daily lifestyle.

Launch yourself into change - get ready to Juice!

INVESTMENT

Question: A businessperson has $100,000 and buys a property for $50,000. How much has he got left?

Answer: Not $50k, but $100k - He has made an investment not an expense. In fact, done shrewdly the person may have $120,000, $150,000 or even more

Your health is the same. Invest in yourself, and it will multiply in return.

Have you Juiced today on your Pineapple? Have you got a Pineapple?
DO YOU WANT TO OPTIMIZE YOUR LIFE?

Pineapple amplifies your action. It makes your body do more than it ever did before - ie. it's a very good investment return.

Invest and Receive my friends.
Juice-Up. Have a perfect day

WEALTH! making $'s

Your Health is your Wealth.

This is particularly apt with the current financial challenges on Wall St.

Life is an expenditure of time, energy and money. We all accrue money to help offset our desires for activities absorbing time and energy.
Think about how the value of those time and energy activities and do they provide value to the money you spent (or the time and energy you spent to gain the money to spend!)

Pineapple is a "Power Expense"
1. It is an expense. Yes it will cost you $'s.
BUT
2. It will ensure you even greater return.

Pineapple
Gives you more ENERGY
Give you more TIME
Which in return allows you to earn more MONEY which you spend on more TIME and ENERGY with more fun.
Have you had you DAILY JUICE?

JUICE-UP!
