Biological Ceiling

1. You have to reach Benefit Intensity
a.) But just doing more, doesn't mean more results

2. there's a 'Sweet-spot' of time

It's about 3 minutes!

1. So sorry to all of you out there, that's been faithfully working out on a ROM machine (which touts a total body workout in 4 minutes - you've been overcooking by a minute each time
a.) adds up - doesn't it!

Think about the progression in the mile: the 4-min barrier has been smashed, with the World Record - now down towards 3 1/2 minutes. The chase to 3 mins continues! (It's basically running four 45 sec 400's. Alot of athletes can run a 45 second 400, no-one can do 2,3 or 4 YET!

Protein & Apples - Wt.Loss secret

Not quite a Protein Apple, but hey look out for a Pineapple Protein product soon!

1. Here's a great secret for you, especially if you're going out for a meal, and are on an weight-loss action plan.
Eat either some Protein or an Apple, just before you leave 'home'

2. Protein: perhaps a shake, or some lean meat/fish/poultry or some jerky.
a.) Protein triggers your brain that you're full. It's a Primal instinct
b.) Signals get sent to you brain, that say you've just hunted and caught something. The message is 'you just caught and started eating a Lion, so hey - chill - you're full - relax
c.) This will keep your hunger strongly subdued - when you're out at the restaurant
d.) Bingo - super easy weight loss control

3. the APPLE!
a.) Well, as you munch into that apple, there's a magic substance in the skin of an apple, called "Pectin' that slows the absorption of sugars into your body
b.) making any carbs you eat less likely to be stored as fat
c.) Super easy weight loss control
d.) Also the good strong chew of an apple - makes your facial muscles fatigue a little, again making you a little less hungry.

4. So the super-easy solution is some jerky and an apple!

Boom-Boom

Exercise is King

There's always conjecture about the biggest factor to combat 'fatness'
a.) Is it exercise, or is it food.

1. Now, my aim is certainly not to diminish what someone eats, as there's great truisim in "you are what you eat"
BUT
2. I've always been of total belief, that EXERCISE is King

A study released today, completely backs that view, and further highlights that first and foremost we are a movement based animal, with all other factors intertwined to the requirement to move first!
ie. Get your body moving, and everything begins to fall into place

The Study completed at the University of Campinas in Brazil looked at neurological effect after exercising.
** Just by exercising, caused a decrease in hunger, and an increase in their control to feel full
** This obviously meant less calories being consumed
** With the incredible double-whammy of them burning up calories with their exercise aswell
** Result being fabulous weight loss

Big message being - that exercise gave them control back into their lives. Plus made them feel great.

The message about fitness and living-well, is that it's a journey.
a.) It's not about diet's
b.) It's not about fad programs
c.) IT"S about making choices you can enjoy your whole life

* GET ACTIVE
* GET CONTROL OVER YOUR MIND & BODY

Time to Perfect or Optimize

Was out enjoying some golf at the beautiful Sierra Star golf course this w'end (the highest course in CA, set amongst the amazing backdrop of Mammoth Mountain)

I was happily playing with 2 or 3 balls, as I was really just focussed on enjoying the round as much as possible, and practicing
a.) now that's a real luxury, as I wasn't playing with anyone to hold them up, plus I choose a time when the course would be as empty as possible.

1. With this strategy, I was able to par every hole
a.) Now - I'm certainly not a scratch golfer, but with the luxury of a spare ball in my pocket, I was able to attempt one or two swings on every attempt
b.) That's not realistic in the long term
c.) I have to quickly transition into the discipline of only playing one ball
d.) And living with the consequences
e.) and not giving myself huge margins of error, to comfort with

2. I'm sure many of you look at the fitness models on magazines.
a.) Now they have the luxury of hours and hours everyday to try and prep themselves into aesthetic wonder
b.) Again - totally unrealistic in the real world
c.) Plus a case of, if they spend that much time and effort, they must surely be able to get decent results. (Just like my near-par golf)

How to

Everywhere you look there's a "how to" list/guide.

I think it's dummying-down society - where we become expectant on being instructed through the whole process - and/or people shelve self-responsibility by then blaming the instructions - if the outcome isn't perfect for them.

What a shame

Remember the tale about giving people the skills to fish, not just putting fish on their plate.
... that's the essence

1. develop the skills
2. Master your fate

Just like Fitness
a.) All the 'gurus' proclaiming the magic workout etc...
b.) C'mon - we're animals
c.) Let's cherish our animal
d.) Adventure, play with our movements
e.) FEEL what it's like to move and FEEL how great fitness is.

How to become brilliant

1. study what gifted 'people' do when they're feeling inspired
2. reverse engineer their unconscious methods.
3. Learn consciously what the gifted 'person' does unconsciously.

What do you want to be brilliant at?

My mission is to make people brilliant at fitness.
I study the brilliance of many athletes, children and predominantly animals (which is why I put the 'people' in apostrophe.)

1. What's the essence of a brilliant athlete - their flow?
2. Of children - their play?
3. Of animals - their adventure?

** Move naturally
** Have fun & Play
** Go on an adventure

Sound great...
Just get the Juice then.
