It’s time to get specific… How about you?

Posted on by

 

If you are a fan of Zig Ziglar You’ve probably heard the old seminar stunt where he’d pull someone out of the audience and he’d ask them what they wanted and they’d reply "more money." He’d proceed to hand them a $1 bill and congratulate them on achieving their goal.

You’ve gotta be specific.

I hear excuses all the time though. "You need money to make money." "I don’t have the time to invest in myself,” "I don’t know where to begin." "My life is too hectic." "The economy is bad."

You get the picture.

Let me tell you about some simple approaches people took to overcome their obstacles-

Joan decided she was going to carve out time to at least 2 days week to make sure she came to the gym. She wasn’t worried about any other days. Was it ideal she said? No. I understand that I need to work out 3-4 days a week. But this is a start.

Bill, decided he needed to keep a change of clothes in the car so when he had extra time he couldn’t make the excuse he needed to go home before heading out for a walk or run.

Elizabeth started to plan her meals on Sunday afternoon so she wouldn’t feel the need to attack the snacks in the lounge because she was hungry at a weak moment.

None of those examples required a major change in a life, or a big investment or wonderful ideal circumstances. I can find you hundreds more just like them too.

Look, I’m not telling you that you need to re-invent the wheel.

What I am saying is that you need to have a specific goals of where you want your body and your life to be in the next few months, otherwise it will probably not significantly improve. Don’t dwell on the obstacles that you think will prevent you from
achieving what you want…Instead focus on finding solutions.

You Need to Put Down the Bread Basket

Posted on by

Since moving to Phoenix it has been a long time since I had to do emergency shopping for a snowstorm.  If you have never had to do it, picture this:

A weather man is freaking out on television stating the obvious: It’s snowing.  It’s going to keep snowing and it might be a while for the roads to be clear enough for throngs of people to drive.  So you need to prepare for getting locked in your house for a few days.  Now everyone heads to the local grocery store to stock up.

Smart people buy items like extra fruits and vegetables and some eggs and chicken and of course, you need fat free hot chocolate when it is going to be 20 degrees, right?

What do most people get?  Bags and bags of crap!  Chips, cereal, pasta, gallons of milk and last but certainly not least, BREAD.

If you don’t know by now, white flour is a huge killer of any training program.  It zaps energy, adds unwanted fat, and is a huge part of the cyclical process of eating empty calories.

One of the first things I tell my clients when they start a program is to make sure that when they eat out (which a lot of my clients do because they are career-type people) is to tell the server at a restaurant to not bring them bread.

That is not to say that restaurants are the only culprit.  Your pantry is mostly to blame.  Toast for breakfast, sandwich for lunch, bread basket at dinner…you get the idea.

Don’t get me wrong.  I’m not preaching you should never have bread ever again (A person has to have a life).  What I am saying is 4-5 servings of any type of bread product every single day will make you gain weight, ensuring you never lose your unwanted weight which can lead to diseases like heart disease and type 2 diabetes.

So here are a few nutrition programming strategies I utilize to help me fight the battle of the bread and reduce cravings:

  • Breakfast - Don’t automatically go for toast, bagels, or a roll.  Two or three hard boiled eggs over sliced tomatoes is delicious.  Maybe whip up a batch of oatmeal and add walnuts and berries.  My clients even add in protein powder for flavor and love it.  How about cottage cheese and pineapple? For an open mind the options are endless.
  • Snacks - Pack them at home and bring them to work rather than the buying from the dreaded vending machine.  In less than 90 seconds, you can throw natural peanut butter, raw almonds, dried fruit (no sugar added), an apple or banana and baby carrots all in a bag and be out the door.  Now you don’t need the employee room bagels or donuts.  (Doughnuts may be Homer Simpsons favorite food but who wants to look like Homer Simpson?)  Spread the peanut butter on an apple and have at it.
  • Ditch the sandwich as your everyday choice for lunch. Bring in a portion of last night’s dinner for lunch.  Salmon, broccoli and brown rice or maybe chicken from last night and a sweet potato are great options.  Lunch is simply another version of dinner.
  • Bread is not a staple at the dinner table. Rather it is a once-in-while experience.  Choose healthy carbohydrate choices like salad, cooked vegetables, brown rice, or quinoa.
  • Think that eating “100% Whole Wheat” is any better? Wrong answer.  It still falls in the category of refined flour (it’s just not bleached) and a huge contributor to weight gain.

So there you have it.  Shock yourself and see if you feel better and look more trim by only cutting out the bread for a week and then tell me about

What happens when you surround yourself with great people?

I am flying home from a boot camp. Not the kind where you get your butt kicked for 20 hours a day. Well I did kind of have that experience but not completely. You see there are times when a trainer really gets to feel like he or she is making a difference.

When you are part of the top 1% of your industry you really need to raise the bar when you come home from a weekend like mine. I have been surrounded by peers and friends who are at the top of their game. They come to me for advice and I go to them for ideas and brainstorming. Together we all win and instill new ways to touch as many lives as possible.

This boot camp was an opportunity to work side by side with my peers developing new programming, creating new training techniques, and learn about new marketing and joint venture opportunities to truly make a difference in other people’s lives. Many of the big names in fitness are also well paid professionals. They are men and women, like me, who command top dollar for their time and training.

However the reason these people are so successful has nothing to do with how much they earn or how many zeros are included in their bank accounts bottom line. It is the transparency, loyalty, and passion they have for their clients and customers that enable them to succeed.

King Of The Hill

President’s weekend has come and gone.  The long weekend was a great time to regroup and use that extra day off to get small projects done and to spend with family and friends.

For me, the past weekend included paint cans, some 2×4’s and a whole lot of patience.  I can’t wait to show you some before and after pictures of the new Results Only facility!  Sometimes pictures from the interim aren’t as impressive.  But before and after pictures definitely tell a different story.  I will share those with you ASAP.

I am also excited because I have received great news this week.  Living in Arizona, most of my clients tend to gravitate to the colder climates when they get away for the weekend.  For Presidents Day that means skiing.   This week has been one great email after another followed by smiling faces as they walk in the door for their training sessions.  Here are some of the comments I’ve received from my clients:

“Bobby, I cannot believe how strong I felt on the mountain.”

“There is no way I could have done those 5 extra runs without your help.”

“It was great to be flying down the mountain, faster, more in control and without fear of getting hurt because I knew my legs were strong.”
 
This is all because they put in the time over the past few weeks training.  Overall conditioning, not sport-specific training, is what does the trick.  While my clients have experienced the benefits to their training first-hand on the mountains, they have also found it easier to get through their daily activates, skip the elevator and climb more stairs than before, not to mention how much better they sleep.

I would like to get some feedback on the grocery checklist, and food log you are keeping.  I hope you have found out that making good decisions when it comes to nutrition is not all that hard.  I have received over three dozen emails from subscribers telling me how they have lost 3 – 5 lbs simply by tracking their food habits and using the food log and grocery list.  These results were achieved with no change in exercise routines, not even any intensity changes.  People just began to realize that food choices and portion control are every bit as important as exercise.

Let me know how you are doing.  If you haven’t started a food log, don’t worry … Start it today!

Today’s Feature Article is about adding a little playtime to your workouts.  Although it is easy to do, I think sometimes people forget to add the fun factor.  Workouts should be fun and hard, a beneficial combination for your body and your mood.

I hope everyone had a great weekend.  Hopefully the new Results Only facility will be open for business by our next newsletter.

One more thing, if you receive this email and it looks a little strange, html code is coming through or the pictures don’t seem quite right, please let us know.  We have been trying a new system and want to make sure it is going well.

Also, we send out a newsletter every 2 weeks.  I don’t want to bug you too much and I know that your inbox can get full quickly.  But if you ever miss an issue or you are not sure if the newsletter or weekly motivational tips are getting caught in a spam filter, let us know that too.

Finally when you do receive this newsletter, for this week only…simply reply to support@resultsonly.com and type Got it in the subject line so we know you are receiving all our stuff.

Results Only … it’s not just a name, it’s a lifestyle!
