FREE Bottle of Fish Oil.....

Everyone seems to understand the benefits of fish oil on our health, and if you don't then let me introduce it to you!! Quite simply, if you live in the western world you NEED to supplement with Omega 3's or fish oil as it's commonly known as!!

Some facts;
Did you know that according to Charles Poliquin strength coach out of USA originally Canada, says that "fish oil has treated every disease known to man, at some stage"!!

Don't believe me, google it and find a disease that it has not treated at some stage.... I gave up after 2 pages and took his word for it!!

Now, let's just imagine for a moment that it is NOT true, let's just say it is 70% true....that's a lot of % in your favor to AT LEAST consider the benefit of it don't you think ?

If you are already a I.Q person to understanding the benefits of fish oil to you and your family's health then you need to raise that I.Q to new heights....

Here's what I'm finding in the "fish oil I.Q. community"...
Group A) Know about the benefits of Fish Oil/Omega 3's and take it but generally take the "cheap" and often "toxic" fish oils because it's "cheap" and you get a crap load of tablets for $19.95 or something like that......

Group B) This group knows very little to nothing about the benefits of fish oil and as a result do nothing..... I'm not being disrespectful when I say this, however if you don't know, you don't do!

Now, regardless of the "box" you belong too, I'm offering you an opportunity to get a FR_EE bottle of one of the Best Brands in the WORLD!! That's right not NZ or Aussie but the world!

To get this bottle of Omega 3's and to learn more of the benefits of Omega 3's all you have to do is go here. FREE bottle of Cod Liver Oil

On this page, you will have a short video of what you need to do to claim your free bottle!
Here is 7 Ways Fish Oil will improve your Health Today!
  1. Increase your I.Q
  2. Increase your "happy" gene
  3. Decrease "fat" making gene
  4. Increase cardiovascular health i.e. "good" cholesterol
  5. Decrease "bad" cholesterol
  6. Decrease joint inflammation
  7. Increase eye vision
That's 7 ways Omega 3's can impact your health and the crazy thing is, they are all "different", I mean how different can you get from eye vision to joint inflammation or decreases the "bad" fats vs increases your I.Q.... I mean how many supplements effect such a broad spectrum of health issues?

Now, if you still don't believe me then I suggest you go and "research" Omega 3's NOW!! If you do believe me and or you already take some, you are required to raise your threshold of what you know i.e. Are you taking fish oils that are safe?

Go here now to see the best we have to offer in NZ and AU hands down & I don't say this to "sell" to you, I do this because that's in my heart!!

For those who are "doer's" and want to further increase your health in your life, all you need to do is go here

Tune in to Wammo & Me on Kiwi Fm


In this day and age "information" is everywhere and I've always done my best to provide you the reader with "real", "truthful" information in your journey of Fat loss, Health, Fitness, Strength & Life, that you can USE in everyday living!

If we aren't able to translate what we "know" into what we "DO" then what is the friggin point! Okay maybe that is a bit heavy, because we are better to "know" then bury our head in the sand of ignorance!!

However, to live a life to your version of Personal Excellence you need to take what you VALUE and "live" it i.e. DO IT!

Just because you KNOW something doesn't mean you are an example of what you know!

Case in point:
EVERYONE know's that veggies are good for you! But how many people actually have them 3 out of 5meals they have or 1 out of 3meals etc...


Have you noticed how many people are prepared to give you advice on something because they "know" it, but when you have a closer look at the person they generally don't live what they say.

A great example of this; is the new age trainer comming through the education system. They have more letters behind their name in qualifications but don't have the "common" sense to live the theory they have been taught! Hence the new age trainer are FATTER and WEAKER then EVER before!!!

So what's my point from all of this?
Basically every Tuesday at 7am you will want to tune into kiwifm to listen to Wammo and I discuss some ways for you to take what you know and make it happen in your life! i.e. go from 'knowing' to DOING!

We've done 2 slots on the radio so far and to access them you can visit Wammo's site for the reply where you can download it or listen in.

Podcast 1 March 17th 2009

Podcast 2 March 23th 2009

For you to start to truly change in your goals of more strength, fitness, health, decreased fat, weight etc... you need to raise your Health & Fitness I.Q!

These radio interviews are exactly that, an opportunity for you to Raise your I.Q, so tune in, listen in and them make it happen so you can be a true warrior of life!

The warrior that know's and does!
(or mostly because ALL warriors f$#@ it up occasionally :-)


Here's where you need to tune in every Tuesday, actually everyday Kiwi FM have got it going on!!

The 3 Rules of Fat Loss my presentation at Weight Watchers

I've been speaking at Weight Watcher meetings the last 3wks on the Topic of;

The 3 Rules of Fat Loss & How to "DO" them!

Here's a brief run of what I have been talking about. Enjoy these tips and if you have any questions please fire away by leaving a comment below or don't be shy to spread the word around either on twitter, facebook or any way you know how.

The Importance of Synergy!!
  1. Concern for Muscle
  2. Concern for Cardiovascular System
  3. Concern for Nutrition

The 3 Rules of Fat Loss & How to DO them:

1) Nutrition: I "preach" to them that they pay for the advice of Weight Watchers, so why not follow it, after all if you are into wasting money why not give it to me!!

It doesn't matter what "diet" you follow, the point is you follow it 90% of the time, other wise you don't know if it worked because YOU changed the "diet"!
Side Note: I'm not a real believer in Weight Watchers "diet" however I am a believer in 90% compliance with WHAT EVER YOU FOLLOW!!

HOW to do it:
  • Be compliant to WW guidelines
  • 6 meals per day
  • Be weary of the products in a box, as most a high in sugar!

2) Cardio for fat loss: People are conditioned to think 60mins a day of walking or jogging will give them the fat loss results they desire and to a point this is correct, however you must ask yourself if you have done this with NO RESULTS, is there a better way?
Or if you do this with limited results for the effort you put in, is there a better way?

Metabolic ESD (Energy System Development) or Interval training as it's commonly known as, is ULTIMATE for fat loss, it's not to say aerobic running/jogging/walking is NOT beneficial, however if you are to choose the BEST modality of cardio then Metabolic ESD is the cream of the crop for fat loss!
(Side note: by working in a metabolic ESD way, you inhearantly increase your aerobic capacity as well!!! That's 2 stones with one bird people!!)

How to DO ESD:
  • Power Walk/Jog/Run/Sprint for 30sec then go easy for 90sec i.e. 30sec fast (fast means, an inability to communicate) then go slow to moderate for 90sec x 8sets.
  • Yes you can do it on bikes/treadmills/cross trainers, it's the protocol of 30/90sec that's important!
3) Building Muscle
Muscle is the best return on investment we have "naturally" today, for e.g. did you know that doing weights in a metabolic fashion can enable you to burn calories for up to 36hrs POST training!!

That's like 360% return on investment!!!

It's impossible for woman to look like a female version of "she hulk" (naturally). Men produce testostrone which helps build muscle and females build estrogen which has less to do with building muscle!

So the Myth of, "If I do weights I will get big" is really nothing more then your imagination holding onto "freaks" on the internet! You may feel big but that is different to BEING big!

General rule of thumb;
Majority of men need to do more metabolic ESD as they like lifting the tin for 'numbers' on the bench press, and majority of females need to do more lifting the tin i.e. build more muscle, as they do too much cardio which can waste muscle if done too much!

How to Build Muscle:
  • Do all the exercises below in a Metabolic Circuit i.e. Do 1 then straight away do 2, 3, 4 then rest 90sec and repeat the process 3x
  • 3sets x 10-15reps, 90sec rest between sets.
  1. Bodyweight Squat

  2. Push ups
    and when the baby gets older from all the push ups they can do these ;-)

  3. Bodyweight Lunges


Tricep DipsI have NOT included abs in this metabolic circuit because these exercises will help develop them because they require you to stabilize in order to perform them!

There are hundreds of variations to make all this happen, if you have a willing mind you WILL find a way to make it happen!

The bigger the movement the more calories are burnt i.e. it's harder to do a squat then it is to do a bicep curl. You require more muscles to do a squat therefore you get more "bang for your buck" in calories burnt!

If you are to follow this programme you will want to do the Metabolic Circuit first which will take you about 15mins and then the Metabolic ESD 2nd which is about 20mins.

Yes that's right, a total time of 35mins and you can do this 3x per week i.e. Mon/Wed/Fri.

Now if you can't find 35mins 3x per week then you aren't ready to achieve your goals.

Any questions just fire my way and if you would like to share it feel free to do so by using the link below.

Something fishy in Steelers' diet!?


Something fishy in Steelers' diet aids cardiovascular health


The Pittsburgh Steelers, a professional American football team based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, are the reigning National Football League champions, having won the Super Bowl XLIII on February 1, 2009.


One big advantage the Steelers have held over their opponents this year has involved a secret supplement - the Steelers have been taking fish oil.


Thirty-six Steelers, ages 23 to 41, participated in a two-year study to determine the cardiovascular advantages of moderately high doses of fish oil. Results conclude that the omega-3 oil raised their high-density lipoproteins (good cholesterol) and lowered very low-density lipoproteins (a form of bad cholesterol) and triglycerides.


The study appears in the new journal, Sports Health: A Multi-Disciplinary Approach. Randomly selected Steelers were placed on fish oil while others used a placebo as the control group.Highly purified fish oil supplements with mixed levels of EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) - the two healthful polyunsaturated fats in fish oil - were used for 60 days.


Good cholesterol, or HDL levels, rose on average by 26 percent in the treatment group compared with 14 percent in the control group. The treatment group also experienced an 8 percent decline in triglycerides, while the control group had a 44 percent increase. High triglyceride levels are a good predictor of coronary heart disease. Declines in the damaging particles in LDL or bad cholesterol - including very low-density and intermediate-density lipoproteins - were also noted in those using fish oil.


Fish oil also is an anti-inflammatory agent, which allows athletes to heal faster from injury while improving attention span, reaction time and cognitive processing.


"This is very simple and safe therapy that's inexpensive," said Dr. James Ehrlich, chief medical officer for Atherotech that developed the Vertical Auto Profile test used to analyze cholesterol levels. "Their numbers look very good."


Dr. Ehrlich noted that many retired National Football League players are obese and have the precursor to diabetes known as metabolic syndrome, along with high blood pressure and cholesterol. 82 percent of 233 retired National Football League players under age 50 were found to have abnormal narrowing and blockages of arteries. About 40 percent also suffer from sleep apnea. Football injuries often render them unable to exercise after retirement. Together, the factors are a formula for heart disease.


"The NFL athlete statistically is at higher risk for future cardiovascular disease and sudden heart attack," Dr. Ehrlich said. "The study demonstrated effectively and dramatically that fish oil improved good cholesterol and lowered damaging particles and triglycerides. It went in the right direction for all of them."


Despite the small number of participants, "rather dramatic improvements in blood lipid profiles were achieved using moderately high doses of omega-3 fish oil supplementation," the study states.

The results suggest that "the professional NFL player should consider continued use of omega-3 supplementation throughout his active years and in retirement."


If you are looking for the "best of the Best" in fish oil I've opened up a "special" I did last year for being interviewed about fish oils!! Click here

Fish Oils burn Fat!

There is more and more research of the importance of Omega 3's (Good fats) towards your health! Did you know it can also aid in decreasing body fat and increasing Lean Body Mass?!!

Fat is a 'taboo' word in the fitness/nutrition word but anyone who understands nutrition will know that Omega 3 is a Fat that we NEED or we DIE!

Did you know that the brain is 62% FAT?! That's right it's Omega 3 so if the thing that determines who/how/what you are is fat don't you think it's GREAT thing to consume :-)

5 Reasons Why should you take a good Quality Fish Oil for health?
  1. Decrease depression

  1. Increase serotonin levels i.e. your happiness

  2. Decrease heart attacks

  3. Decrease morning stiffness

  4. Populations that have a high intake of fish oils lower incidence of inflammatory diseases such as asthma!

5 Reasons fish oils for your Body Composition by Charles Poliquin & Dr Mark Houston MD
  1. Fish oils turn on the lipolytic genes (fat burning genes)

  2. Fish oils turn off the lipogenic genes (fat storage genes)

  3. Preferential utilization for energy production once stored in t

  4. Adipocytes.Reduced inflammation from physical training.

  5. Fish oils are a great stress fighter. Supplementation with n-3 fatty acids inhibits the adrenal activation of steroids, aldosterone, epinephrine and norepinephrine (catecholamines) elicited by a mental stress, apparently through effects exerted at the level of the central nervous system. Therefore, for the same amount of stress, one will produce fewer stress hormones if consuming fish oils on a regular basis.

Flaxseed oil or Fish Oil?
Without getting all 'geeky' on you, basically flaxseed oil goes through 4 stages before the body can utilize it and then there is research upon how much you can actually use anyway once it's in a place to be used by the body. Whether you can use it or not is person specific i.e. diabetes, ethnicity, alchol consumption etc...

Please don't mistaken that for Flaxseed is not valuable because it is, however fish oil will ensure you get to utilize all of the EPA/DHA consumed without any debate about if you can utilize it or not!

How much do you take?
I have only seen "Results" from taking 9-15grams per day towards lean body mass, pain relief from the stress of training/life, mood, sugar cravings (however I will be getting my hands on research of quantity in the future).

Also to note that the QUALITY of the fish oil at this consumption or any consumption is VITAL!!! Consumer mag has just done some tests on who/what companies in NZ are living the 'truth' behind what they say on the bottles for quality and quantity!

Nordic Naturals is by far the best company who do fish oils and I'm fortunate enough to be a supplier of theirs! If their was a better company that made fish oils and supplied NZ, without a doubt I would supply their product!!

Start today taking a GREAT QUALITY fish oil I don't care if it's 1 capsule the most important thing is you start by taking 1 step! Most health shops supply Nordic Naturals it's a higher price then other brands, but you pay for what you get and it's quality GUARANTEED!
