Bad News…

Hi, Michael here again,

Three days ago I told you about my new 21 Day Rapid Fat Loss Program that start Tuesday the 7th.
Well, the response to my 21 day rapid fat loss bootcamp has been huge.

I have more information for those of you who want to start this fun 21 day life changing program.
Here’s the deal. We only had room for 12 new participant (as this camp will run concurrent within our existing boot camp)…now there’s only 4 spots remaining.

The 21 day rapid fat loss boot camp is an outdoor fitness boot camp that will last (three weeks) and starts Tuesday September 7th. The best results will come if you attend 3-5 days per week.
Call in sick to work for those three weeks if you have to 🙂 (just kidding)

Since it’s a group class everyone will participate at their own level so it doesn’t matter what shape you’re in… you’re going to get amazing results during these 21 days.

Here’s what you need to know:

• Boot camp times will be 6:00 AM and 9.00 AM Monday/Wednesday/Friday and Tuesday 5.30 AM at 4832 Park Road Suite H (We ask that you commit to at least three days a week for best results)

• We’re cutting the cost from our regular class price of $197 down to only $97 for this special 21 day bootcamp.
• We’re also including a free 21 day personalized, calorie and life style specific meal plan to help you get even faster results.

Since the response to this was bigger than I anticipated and since we only have room for 4 more participants we are doing the registration on a first “call” first serve basis.
We want to get everyone registered for this 21 day fun fest as soon as possible. So here is what you need to do to get in on the action.

Pick up the phone and call 704.777.3743 and Tyson and I will get you registered and squared away. Or go email us at 21dayfitnesssolution@gmail.com and register there.
Remember, there are only 4 spots available so it’s all about first come first serve.

Committed to your success,
Michael Anders

Exercise, fitness and work can be a pain in the a… i mean neck!

Check this out. I talked to my friend the chiropractor Markus Schuster next door. As a personal trainer I  have been working with him and some of his clients for the past year and have to say we had some awesome results.

The reason I am posting this today is that I had a whole bunch of “desk warriors” and “travel champions” come in lately with severe neck issues that were relentless. As much as I would like to think that I can fix it all, it is sadly not true. Markus has done an incredible job at helping some of my clients.

This video is just an introduction and depending on the feedback we will add a mini series every two weeks or so dealing with specific issues and how YOU can deal with it to avoid getting bigger problems.

If you need to contact Markus for help you can get in touch with him here

Get rid of the things that make you eat a lot and finally lose the weight!

Alright, as a personal trainer I have seen many things. People have so many reasons to eat it is amazing. Here some things that you can do to start modifying your eating habits!

  1. What are your food triggers?
    1. If fights makes you eat, try to clarify the situation as soon as you can. It is not worth sulking if it makes you eat 500 kcal of junk.
    2. If you are stressed at work and would go for the candy drawer (I know a person or two who do that J ) get up and get some water.
    3. Boredom eater. Instead of sitting in front of the TV flipping channels, go and organize your closet, you do something productive and you don’t eat.
    4. Don’t shop for groceries if you are hungry!
    5. If you have the tendency to pile food on your plate until it is overflowing, grab a smaller plate or grab food that is low in calories.
  2. Goals
    1. I have said it many times: make sure you set reasonable goals. Don’t go all out and try to lose 10 lbs in a week. Yes, you might have heard people do that but that is never just fat unless they were exercising all day long. A reasonable goal is 1-2 lbs a week. Initially, it might be a little bit more but then it is water as well. Remember one pound of fat is 3500 kcal that need to be burnt/consumed less. Try to get a steady 30-45 min workout/walk in almost every day and you are making headway.
    2. Setting unreasonable goals that we don’t achieve often trigger our desire to eat. So you are better off, setting goals that are achievable and don’t tempt you to eat your frustrations.
  3. Do it like the Tour de France
    1. Like I said before, work in stages, set yourself short, middle and long term goals. Big goals will also trigger big hunger. Working in stages definitely helps, call it chunking.
  4. Leave Track marks… on a piece of paper!
    1. Write down “before” and “after” measurements. Don’t measure every day, once a week is sufficient
    2. Make sure you know your height, body fat, BMI,
    3. Log your food. This is the single BIGGEST MISTAKE people trying to lose weight make. Knowing what you are eating and how much will get you to your goal faster and you can calculate in some of the “naughty” stuff you like to eat here and there.
  5. Be nice to yourself
    1. Treat yourself with a present for achieving your goal but please, don’t let it be food. A massage is great, or some new clothes.
  6. Don’t be hasty. I know it is easy to eat fast nowadays, but make sure you drink a sip of water between every bite and you will see the weight comes down faster.

 

These are just a couple of tips that are really helpful for losing weight. I know it is not easy. Come to my personal training studio or give me a call and we can see how we can help you get to the new you! Check our website for Boot Camps and Personal Training options!

What a thousand other people taught me!

On Friday from 7 pm to Saturday at 7 pm over a thousand people participated at the 24 Hours Of Booty, a fundraiser event that managed to raise more than a million dollars for a good cause. We had a ton of fun and thanks to Denise, “Wicki” and Pam also great helpers that assembled/disassembled tents, provided encouraging words and helped with food and drinks whenever necessary. Steve, Jessi (my wife), Laurie and me participated for our personal training studio as team Shape Up.

Everyone did an amazing job. Steve rode 90 miles and had originally aimed for 50 miles. Jessi doubled her mileage by riding 50 miles and on a mountain bike, no less. I rode 120 miles and ran 14 miles around the loop. Laurie who had planned to do a double Ironman event this weekend (4.8 miles of swimming, 224 miles of biking and 52.4 miles of running/walking), did exactly that, despite a hurting chest wall after a fall. I am so proud of you guys!

But there were many other people as well who did really great.  Some of them were struggling with cancer, others were paraplegic, some of them were semi professionals.

I learned a couple of things from all those people while riding there:

  1. Determination trumps Disability
  2. Be smart, take breaks, get back on and continue!
  3. Conserve your strength and give a steady effort instead of blowing all your energy reserves at once.
  4. Team effort and encouragement from friends can give you energy even when you thought you had nothing left.
  5. Pace yourself on the difficult parts of your journey (in this case the hill J ) and pick it up on the easier ones and the miles/progress will come.
  6. Conquer your fear to do something you thought you were not able to and discover a new you. I was amazed by what some of the people were doing that were “out of shape”.
  7. Your mind can be your biggest strength and your biggest weakness.

 

Think about your weight loss, training or fitness goals and think of the people I just talked about. If they can do this then you can achieve your goal. Let us do it, 4-6 lbs of weight loss for the next month. Log your food and training every day and get the ball rolling. Imagine the new you. You can do it, I know you can. I can help you with it. This is what I do!
