In the early nineties I had the opportunity to work with some of
the most famous movie stars in the world. As a manager and
personal trainer for Kathy Smith and her health club, I
experienced first hand the secrets to the stars. Here are a few
things they did to look like they do:
1.They cross trained: They put variety into their workout plans.
2.They never ate a lot of white flour foods: Most of their foods
came out of the ground. Mostly natural foods!
3.They were more concerned with their body fat levels than their
weight: They concentrated more on the balance of muscle to fat,
rather than their weight.
4.They did a lot of stretching: Palates and yoga was very
popular.
5.They spent a lot of times out doors working out: You may be
surprise at the number of people that are in better shape
exercise more outdoors.
6.There diets consisted of herb and teas: A lot of natural foods
were consumed.
7.They had outside help. Support systems, trainers and groups.
I know you may be fascinated with movie stars, but let me tell
you they are just like you and I. They struggle with weight and
motivation like we do. Here is what I have told some of the most
famous people in the world and I will tell you the same:
Some of you will not like what I have to say, even though it is
the truth. And that may be where the problem of American’s
health problems lies. No one wants to give you the truth. My
responsibility as a high profile fitness expert lies not in if
you like me, or even if you buy my e books. My responsibility
lies in giving you straight talk with no sugar coating it.
You want quick fixes to your health problem that has taken years
to develop. You get it by purchasing gimmicks that promise you
fast results. You fall for it, and at the end of the day you are
more frustrated than every. Why? Because you are denying the
root of your problems.
I have counseled thousands of people over my twenty year tender
as a personal trainer, health club consultant and best selling
author. And in all my travels, the answers to people’s problems
with weight come down to one thing: it’s a matter of choice!
My approach with people is, either you pay a price now or you
will pay a bigger price down the road. I am really tired of
dancing around and trying to pat people on the back and say,
“It’s OK you can do it.” When all the while, most I know are in
the least bit serious about their health, and have no idea what
they are in for down the road.
If you are on the fence of whether or not to start an exercise
and weight loss plan, I suggest you either become hot or cold.
None of this luke warm stuff. You, America is on the verge of a
health crisis. The longer you wait the more of chance you have
of having a disease.
You also have a matter of choice on all these gimmicks out
there. Don’t waste your money on products that are not long
lasting and do not teach you anything. I know you want fast
results but you will just waste your money. Let me remind you,
until you deal with your approach to weight loss the other is
pie in the sky. Here are the keys to weight loss:
Determine HOW you are motivated
Determine the REASONS behind the unwanted behaviors.
Develop a great support system
Eat for fuel not for taste
Keep being active.
Sorry to be so blunt, but it’s time someone starts telling the
truth no matter how hard it is to hear.
