How to succeed at New Year Resolutions
Wednesday, January 6th, 2010I hope you had an amazing Christmas and New Year. I had a fantastic time in New York with my girlfriend. On our final day we went on a cruise around Manhattan Island followed by dinner in a very nice restaurant and then a trip to the very top of The Empire State Building where I asked probably the most nerve racking question of my life when I asked Kerry if she would become my wife. After a brief pause due to the shock (i hope) she said ”yes” and we have set a provisional date in the summer of 2012 for the big day.
Anyway, my news is not the reason I write today. Today I would like to offer some tips to help you stick to your New Years Resolutions.
1. Have a goal and write it down! Simple I know but the very act of committing your goal to paper makes it more concrete and gives you something to aim for. By keeping it locked away in your head makes it a wishy washy dream with less chance of it becoming reality.
2. Now take that piece of paper and make copies of it and place the copies in places you see on a regular basis. That way you are constantly reminded of your goal.
3. Now tell everyone about your goals, that way you have put pressure on yourself to stick to them because if you are anything like me you wont want to lose face and seem like a quitter to your friends and family.
4. Keep a nutrition diary. Write down everything that you eat. That way you can closely monitor everything that goes in your mouth. Stick to the 90/10 rule, you do remember the 90/10 rule? Basically you should be eating healthy 90% of the time which gives you 10% left for the occasional treat. So if you are eating 6 times per day like I advise that is 42 meals/snack per week of which 37 should be healthy.
5. Get a workout partner and set times to train together. That way if you know your friend is going to be waiting for you, you will be less likely to slack off.
6. Join a fitness program that has a proven track record of getting great results. My Boot Camp program has been getting fantastic results for the people who attend 2-3 times per week. Check the success stories on this website. I’m also offering £1000 to the person who gets the best Body Transformation results in the Body Transformation Challenge.

North Devon Personal Trainer Reveals How to Turn Your New Year Weight Loss Resolutions into Real Results: Part 1
Monday, January 4th, 2010Over the years, I have helped countless people to maximize their overall health, performance, and body composition faster than ever before. To put it bluntly, I know how to help people lose ugly, unwanted body fat faster than most people can fathom. Now, make no mistake about it, a big reason for this is because my integrated rapid fat loss training and nutrition system is second to none. I have done the countless hours of research and trial and error both on myself and clients to prove that my system works. But, today I am going to share something more powerful; something that must be set in place before you can even start to think about following a fitness program.
Before I get into this goal setting process, I just need to get something off of my chest. I know a lot of people think goal setting is just a cheesy, useless thing. Unfortunately, these people just don’t get it and frankly if you are one of those people, please do us both a favor and stop reading this article and go buy another useless weight loss book or pill because I simply cannot do anything for you. I can only help people who want to learn. I simply cannot help people who already think they know it all and think they are too good to take some time to figure out what the hell it is that they actually want to accomplish. The bottom line is that the most successful people out there, and I mean not just weight loss success, I am talking business, lifestyle, etc., are shamelessly goal driven. The most successful people in the World know exactly why they want to do something and harness that super motivation to figure out how and by when they want to go about accomplishing that. Furthermore these super achievers’ plan and prepare for every possible roadblock they will encounter in their path to success. This is what I want to teach you how to do today, so let’s get to it!
Step One- The Why: Why do you want to do this?
This is where it’s time to get real. In almost every initial consultation I do, when I ask why they have contacted me today, here is the typical blanket response that I first hear:
“Well, I just want to get healthy and lose some weight.”
Nope, I don’t buy it. Sure, I know they want to lose weight and be healthy, I mean who doesn’t, but really WHY do they want to do this? I mean, what is it that’s going to get them up at 5 am to get their morning workouts in or take a couple of hours on Sunday to plan and prepare their meals for the upcoming week? It sure isn’t “being healthy” because for some reason this just isn’t a very powerful motivator for most people (though it should be).
Let’s face it: everybody, including YOU, wants to look better naked! Stop giggling, you know it’s true and frankly that’s okay because the desire to improve one’s appearance is the most powerful motivator there is. This shouldn’t be such a big surprise since the main life mission of humans, or any species for that matter, is to procreate. This is instinctual. And obviously, looking better makes this more of a reality.
So, after a little digging, I find out the real reason why they have come to see me; I find their past or pain and then establish their current and future ambitions. Some people want to be able to mow the lawn in the summer with their shirt off and not feel self-conscious. Others want to get back into their favorite pair of pants that they haven’t been able to get one leg into for the last five years. Then there are those who want to look and feel more attractive to ignite some passion back into their relationships and/or put for their best image at work. And of course, my personal favorite is preparing for big events that have built in deadlines. Wanting to get as lean and tight as possible to look hot in that dream bikini while on holiday, or when visiting family you haven’t seen in two years to blow them away with your new body, or being a classic beauty in your wedding dress on the big day, it all works! This is the stuff that gets people fired up and ready to commit to making some real changes. How do I know? Well, I just shared with you the exact “WHY’S” of some of my own clients.
So, the first thing you have to figure out is your personal WHY. To make this even simpler for you, just answer this question: what are your physical dreams? Once you establish this, everything else is easy..
