Magic 100

After discussing in my other post there is 100 days to the turn of another year!

I figured what the hell why don't I let you in on one of my little "secrets" to goal setting!!! Actually, as I've writing this I have just finished doing The Magic Hundred for the 2nd time round!!

If you have a goal(s) and you want someone to keep you on track, you will want to jump on board with my man Dax Moy! He's the real deal and in the last 5yrs has gone from a "normal" PT to someone who is in the leading pack!!!

Visit his site now!!

He's just up graded his programme too which I have to say is even smarter then when I was doing it!!!

P.S. If you have any questions about the programme post them here and I'll do my best to answer them, or you go be a "go getter" and make it happen by taking the Leap of Faith!!

100days to Go!!

100 days to go!!

Today is the day (Monday 22nd September) that we have 100 days till
the turn of the New Year!?!

What the hell?

100 days to end the year off with a bang?
Or you can stay the same?

What choice will you make?

Now before you make this “educated” choice I would like you to close
your eyes and get rid of any “noise” you may have in your head and
just “think” of what you would like to do in 100days.

Close your eyes for 60sec and think of what you want, what does it
smell like, taste like, feel like, look like…….

Ready to “think” of what you want……..see you in 60sec

Did you do the exercise?

If you did the exercise, you may have created feelings of what you
want, if you did let me know what they are and what you can do about
it today! 1 small step every day allows you to “hit your mark”!

If your goal is fatloss and you want to reach your goal in less then
50 days then this is a good place to start

My coaching group is taking people from “knowing” to DOING, there
is such a big difference in knowing something and living
what you know.

Regardless of what action you do or don’t do 100days are going to
pass by and only you can choose to be the same or different in
100days.

I have a VERY black and white saying I use often; you are either
“growing” or “dying”, make the choice and make it happen.

To finish; L.O.A (Law of Attraction) or the Secret DVD is just one
part of the puzzle, you can “think” about being richer, healthier,
skinner, happier etc… but LOA ONLY works when you back it
up with ACTION!

I’m not bashing LOA, I’m just giving you the reality of LOA!
People think the “secret” is in LOA, the “secret” is NOT in LOA!!

Want to know the REAL secret to getting ANYTHING you WANT?

Post your comments here to see if anyone "gets" it.

p.s. 2 more days before the price goes up on the coaching group,
make it happen today to NOT only save yourself $40 but to be
living action steps everyday to “growing” in the next
50 days or less!!

Something must Change!

We are in the middle of the week and I'm on track
to achieve another week of training.

How are you doing with yours? I mean really, I've been sharing with
you the last few weeks of my journey "under the bar" it's about
time you shared yours! :-)

Today during my session I "changed" it up. Today I was doing a
squatting day. This day really kicks my a.s.s, I mean at the end of
a squatting session I'm wrecked.

This morning I had a bit of "mental weakness" so after doing back
squats then front squats. I decided to "change it up"!

Rather then continue on with my 3 other squatting variations, I
jumped on board with what the client was doing which was Power bag
drags.

This is where an image of this mornings training would help, however just imagine running while dragging 3 bags that weighed about 100kg all together
for a distance of approx 35-40m as fast as you can.
(The pic below is what a power bag is, however we use a rope to join them up and run with them).

The amount of 'burn/fatigue' you get in the thighs/hips/calfs is
up there to say the least epsically when you are running as fast
as you can to do the distance i.e. the last 10m is a little slow.

Why did I change from my normal routine?
Simple, I worked out 2x yesterday since I missed Monday's session
and after a late night I didn't have the "mustard" in me to pull
me through a gut buster.

So I changed up my "gut buster" to something different that I new I
would complete and still get results that I'm after.

Here's what I would like you to take home;

EVERY session you have training, SOMETHING MUST CHANGE!

Ways to change what you are currently doing (just choose 1 if you are going to action it);
1) Increase weight by 2.5kg (5lbs)
2) Add 1-2 more reps with the same weight
3) Increase Speed of movement (some exercises are better at changing
speed then others, and always FORM before speed!)
4) Change tempo i.e. 6sec on the eccentric(down part) of exercise
1sec hold then as fast as possible up on the concentric part of
exercise. Often written as 6.1.X

And the most IMPORTANT!

Increase your Kinesthetic Awareness!!

This means, every rep you do, you create an awareness of HOW it
FELT!

If you can "feel" the movement you have the power to make dramatic
results very quickly!

How do you "feel" the movement?
Feel the movement by being the movement, if you have a weight that
is relatively easy, clothes your eyes and "feel" how you are doing
that particular exercise.

This "feeling" type stuff can take time I understand that, however,
I promise you if you can get in touch with your kinesthetic side,
your progress will be slow at the start but you will ALWAYS beat
someone who is just adding more reps or increasing the weight!!!

6wk Fatloss Coaching Course is comming soon! Will you "change up"
your training to reach a new clothes size before summer even starts?

Time will tell, if you truly want to "change"!!

Let me know ways you are "changing up" at the moment.

I'm RIGHT and you are WRONG.....

How often do you say something like;

"Is this right?"
"That's wrong"!
"This is the right way to do it, isn't it?"
"They shouldn't do it that way!"
"I know I'm right"!
"You should do it this way"

Or statements that are similar to that?

Be honest we all say it. The problem I hear with these statements is more often then not they are judgments upon who/what they are directed at.

How? Think about this, you are making a statement about something "you think" to be wrong or right!

Right?

But who are you to say it's wrong or right?
Is there anything truly "right" or "wrong" or another way to look at it, is there truly anything "black" or "white"?
Who said it's right or wrong?
Who said it's black or white?
Who said that person (thing) is right?

If you are still with me, when ever you "see" something as right or wrong you are seeing it through the world (your eyes) as you know.

And if you don't ask questions like;
"why do I think or believe that?"
"Where does that come from? "

You will only ever see the world through what you know and more often then not you will have more conviction in your "righteousness" or "wrongness"!

I'm not trying to convince you that "my way" of thinking is right, I'm just trying to show you there is more to "thinking" then just black and white or wrong and right!

That's why, I believe that it's so important to never stop learning/growing/experiencing things so you can expand the way you think and how you "see" the world.

I find it very sad (and sometimes I just get pi$$ed off) when people will defend their position on what they "think/believe" to be right or wrong and will not have any room for Grey or 'possibility'!!

Now, some people will be struggling with what is written. For instance you may say it's "wrong" to kill and 95% of the time I will agree with you with what I know.

HOWEVER, there is a 5% still there maybe even more that states.

"You can't fully have black and white in it's "true" sense because when we do we cut off the possibilities of grey or understanding and compassion"!

My point I'm trying to explain is that everything is "truly" ONENESS we as humans with our "intellect" create black/white, right/wrong, yes/no, poor/rich, ugly/pretty, yummy/yucky, happy/sad, love/hate, angry/laughing etc...

We have created "divisions" in life to create safety for ourselves and while we "need" a version of this, I'm just putting it out there that you don't have to be confined by what you perceive to be right or wrong and black/white because what you perceive to be these things were more then likely imposed upon you from someone else or you took them on as a means to survive in the situation you created for yourself!

"Your eyes can only see what your mind can comprehend"

Therefore if the above is true (and I believe it is) then it is your responsibility to ensure you expand your mind to more then what it currently gets so you can see the world as "oneness" rather then through a straw of Black and White!

This is why I'm big on Increasing your Health & Fitness I.Q. because the more you expose yourself outside of what you believe/know/perceive and or see the world you will expand your minds threshold for "new" information!

Make it happen, learn from everyone (even those that you don't like) and never give up!!

The greatest Athlete EVER.....

The Olympics are over and this is the first post I've givin on them! I don't know about you but I enjoyed the Olympics or what I saw of it, I won't lie and said I watched them all but I did make an effort to watch as many kiwi's compete.

How was Michael Phelps awesome effort with 8 gold medals, "Freak"?!!

How about Usain Bolton winning the 100 and 200m and breaking both world records and apparently he had his shoe lace untied in the 100m?! Yip, you guessed it, "Speed Freak"!

What about the courage of Mahe Drysdale for NZ in the rowing? "Heart of a Lion Freak!"

How about one of my favorite's Valerie Villi who got gold in the shot put?! "Girl Freak"!


Dean Kent? Who you say..... Dean Kent (NZ swimmer) has been to 3 Olympics and has never placed but guess what? He's a "commitment freak" for showing us it's not all about WINNING and as long as you do your best, your a "WINNER!"

The list can go on and on of "awesome-ness" of so many athletes!

Alot of people are talking about Usain Bolton and how he is the greatest athlete EVER!

Now, I'm sorry the man is a "freak" let's get that out there right away, a FREAK OF NATURE!
But the greatest ATHLETE ever?

He maybe the greatest ever sprinter known at the Olympics but athlete? Sorry not in my books, he's not even close!

So what he broke 2 world records while going into a slight head wind and shoe lace untied, all he has to do is run in a straight line (pretty much) for 2 events. Where is the "Athleticism" in running almost straight?
Michael Phelps is more of an "athlete" then Usain, after all 8 gold medals in 8 different events!!

I've got nothing against Usain, I'm wrapped for him. I just won't agree to main stream thinking of "he's the greatest athlete ever"!

To be honest, the only difference between me, you and them the "freaks" is commitment! They are prepared to do what it takes to be the their version of the best!!

Take home message, before you think of someone as the greatest _____ create a picture in your mind of what you perceive to be the greatest.

Now that you have that picture, what's stopping you from being your version of the "GREATEST"!

Programme Template

Here's a programme template I use for clients when they come to me for fatloss, fitness, strength goals. Don't get to concerned with what the exercises are just google them to find out how they work.

Look at the design of the programme and how it is Systematic covering all my basis of warm up, core work, pre/re-hab, mobility, flexibility then into resistance work and finishing off on "cardio" work. We then follow it up with a recovery shake or stretching.

A good programme will take you through the workout step by step or A-B-C-D etc.. Not A to M!

If you turn up to the gym with no plan your first goal "should" be to invest in a plan of WHAT you are doing based on what you want to achieve.

Anyway here is one way I design programmes for clients:

Dynamic Warm Up	Squat/Star Jumps/Seal Jumps/ Flip jacks 5mins
Movement/Core Prep Dynamic Movement Prep	MB Chop/ Hip Extensions/Fire Hydrants/Scap circuit Y.W.L.Flys.Rows/ 5-7mins Walking lunges/Bear Crawls/T rotations 3-5mins
Metabolic Resistance A1) Alternating Lunges	30sec rest b4 next exercise
A2) KB B-over row	30sec rest b4 next exercise
B1) MB Push Up	30sec rest b4 next exercise
B2) KB D-lift + Upright row	30sec rest b4 next exercise Use 2 KB’s – 1 each hand
Metabolic Conditioning	KB Swings 30sec/90sec
Stretching/Foam Rolling/Recovery Shake	Start with tightest muscle first! 5mins
