Fireman's approach to Fitness
When a fire is burning...firemen get it done!
1. They immediately coordinate their actions, make decisions and save lives!
easy
No 'meeting's' to gab-at, and shy away from taking responsibility
(it's frightening: our distance from action and pretend-action
"why bother going to a meeting if you're not prepared to change your mind?" To which I'd add, "Don't bother having a meeting if you're not there to change or make a decision right now."
Just like Firemen, charge into action!
What's the fire burning in you...

Time to Reflect
Christmastime is great for that.
Fascinating fresh research
International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity 2011, 8:94
highlights that are behaviour is most dominated by desire to improve our lifestyle (not necessarily our health)
exactly!
the reason for exercise (& fitness actions) is to feel amazing!
PS. luckily - that will also lead to amazing health result
BUT
the essence is to feel amazing
and all the lifestyle connotations that arise from that.
Up an at em!

'Fat-Cat' Society
Here we are closing in on the end of another year.
Wow - it's crazy to think
a.) we have more access to fitness 'info' and resource
b.) yet are the fattest society (probably ever!)
HOW?
Are we a 'fat-cat' society?
1. The Fat-cat’s (the so-named) top of the food-pile
a.) have exorbitant access to food
b.) Indulged in array of luxury (do it for me) items - ‘remote-control culture’
c.) and are waited on hand & foot (so they sit and do nothing!)
***You have to be fat: to be a fat-cat
Underworked
Overfed
2. Bottom of the food chain - conversely are
Overworked
Underfed
3. So what's left is the middle
a.) aspiring to either be a 'fat-cat' or get as far away as possible from the 'bottom'
4. The Upper-Middle
a.) aspiring to Fat-Cat
Being fat is the ‘chase’ and seemingly the 'status-impression' to exude
5. Lower-Middle
‘getting away’ from the bottom & their thin-look
a.) then aspiring to be fat
to transfer towards upper-middle & Fat-cats
makes you think doesn't it...

YOU & YOUR 'words'
Genes: excuse & the smoking gun
Genetics loads the gun - but you and your environment pull the trigger!
1. You can have certain genes in your body
a.) but a gene can only turn on/off
b.) It doesn't decide
c.) you DO
d.) by creating/being in an 'environment' that forces the gene to be turned on.
2. for example
a.) you might have the 'gene' that makes you fat
b.) it's up to you -whether that is turned on/off
c.) if you create the 'enviroment' where you are eating v.unhealthy foods - then obviously that gene gets turned ON.
d.) vice-versa
YOU decide!

Fitness Myths: walking won't do much to help you lose weight
THE TRUTH:
Walking may not increase your sprinting speed & power, but taking extra steps every day can have an important cumulative calorie-burning effect. A 2009 study in the *American Journal of Clinical Nutrition* found that healthy adults ages 19 to 30 who were car-happy gained up to 15 pounds more over a 15-year period than those who used their own two feet more often to get around.
To motivate yourself to walk more, invest in a pedometer. A 2007 study in the *Journal of the American Medical Association* determined that using a pedometer can lead to significant decreases in body-mass index and blood pressure. Aim for 10,000 steps daily, That's two and half miles of walking, which means you'll burn an extra 250 calories everyday.
walk to a coworker's cubicle instead of e-mailing, trading in the elevator for the stairs, and parking at the farthest corner of the mall lot.
Look at evolution. Our main form of transport has been walking. Even with the high-tech world we live. Walk to the bus/train/subway – even cycle to work if you get the opportunity.

Fitness Myths: you can spot-reduce fat
THE TRUTH:
Many peopl spend too much of their exercise-time doing a bazillion crunches in pursuit of rock-solid abs or banging out hundreds of reps on the inner and outer thigh machines to melt away stubborn fat pockets. But the only way you can spotreduce is with liposuction.
When you exercise, your body taps into energy stores from everywhere, not just one place. So by overexercising one area of your body, you only raise the risk of suffering an injury.

Fitness Myths: you need to cut carbs & fat to lose weight
THE TRUTH:
Most get-thin-fast plans revolve around the idea that restricting your intake of one particular nutrient, usually carbs or fat, is the best way to lose weight.
But the results of a 2009 New England Journal of Medicine study suggest otherwise. For two years, participants followed one of four calorie-restricted diets with varying amounts of carbs, protein, and fat. After 24 months, all participants lost about the same amount of weight (just nine pounds).
This study proves that calories are the most important factor for weight loss. To lose weight, you need to take in fewer calories than you burn—regardless of what percentage of carbs, protein, or fat you're eating.
Gimmicky diets just distract us from this simple truth.

Fitness Myths: mini meals are best
THE TRUTH:
Many dieters believe eating several small meals a day is a guaranteed way to quash hunger. But scientists have not turned up substantial evidence that eating frequency really matters, according to a review of research by scientists at Newcastle University and Griffith University in Australia.
In fact, a 2009 study with more than 10,000 subjects reported that between-meal nibblers were 69 percent more likely to pack on pounds over five years. Frequent noshing only works if you choose nutritious foods and control portion sizes.
After all, it's not hard to turn six small meals into six large ones.
Again, it all comes back to calories. "You can eat three times a day or 10, as long as you have the same caloric intake that will induce weight loss," says Australian researchers
