There is no risk to promoting Brian Grasso's Complete Athletic

breaking techniques in Athletic Development.

Knock their socks off!

What can I say. You learn something new everyday. Sometimes it is the things that you thought you already knew.

I've been reading and researching what makes a successful weight loss plan for all these years.

Guess what I "found out".

Eat less, do more.

Yup. That's it.

Careful, what I mean by eat less is to reduce carbohydrates and make your meals smaller. Oh, you know what I mean by that.

I've bee there myself. Big heaping plate for supper. It feels good when you haven't had a lot to eat all day.

But if you eat more during the day, and more often, the less likely we will gorge at the end of the day.

Makes sense doesn't it?

Something weight loss guru Alwyn Cosgrove said stuck with me. Weight loss is simple, not easy!

We know what we have to do. It's all in black and white above. But why can't we do it. That's the hard part.

You are going to have to figure out what is stopping you from succeeding. That is something no personal trainer in the world can do: go inside your head.

We can quote statistics until we are blue in the face. But if a client isn't ready to make "the change", well, nothing is going to happen.

For instance: reduce carbohydrate intake.

Seems simple enough.

How many people do it? Take a look around at our collective girth. Not many, I'd say.

Simple, not easy.

Another: 1 hour of activity a day

Any takers?

And I mean any activity. Sure some are better than others depending on what your goals are but lets get the cart out in front of the horse shall we. Start by doing anything. Enjoy your activity.

Fine tune later.

So what are you going to do today?

What are you going to do this week?

There is a hint at what will make any plan successful. Looking ahead. Seems like an oversimplification. But I encourage you to look around.

See anyone else doing it?

Now go. Get out there. Knock their socks off and surprise yourself. You are capable of so much.

In health,

Todd

Where is the effort, people?

I'm not telling you something you don't know already.

You get what you give.

Especially when it comes to the effort you put into your exercise.

It is counter-intuitive. The more energy you put into your activity
the more energy you will have for everyday life.

I see it everyday with my clients. Some buy in, some do not.

The difference in the results is staggering.

I must make a note of this though: I am not talking about
superhuman effort.

I mean the effort of doing something everyday. Taking the time to
plan food a few days in advance.

It takes effort to change what we do everyday. Since we are
creatures of habit.

So, do you have it in you to make the changes and keep them up?

I do this because I love it, and I hope it shows. Not everyone gets
it or agrees. They don't even have to. And that is Ok. As long as
people recognize I am trying to help.

Now get out there and take the first steps towards the change you
have always wanted to make for yourself. Put in the effort and reap
the rewards.

Obesity Recognition Doesn't Happen?

Parents don't recognize obesity in their own children.

Believe it.

Here is an article referencing research into this area.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/6451015.stm

So it has to be asked how active are our children? Are we over
protective?

It's a difficult place to be but it is necessary to look at what is
really happening.

Take a look at how much time our kids spend being active every day.

That doesn't mean playing sport. It doesn't mean winning
competitions.

Just being active.

We joke about being kicked out of the house until the street lights
came on. It shouldn't be. It might have been the best thing that
could have happened to us.

All that climbing, pushing, pulling, crawling and jumping we did as
children is extremely important. It was during some of our critical
development periods. That means we take those skills through life
and can use them in all of our activities.

That makes everything that much more fun.

That means we are more likely to do something active and stay
healthy.

So I ask again: How active are our children?

My Voice is Changing

I have been thinking about this for a while now.

I have been trying to help people for a while as well.

I've come to a conclusion.

I'm not getting through to many people.

I must be trying to be too nice. Too PC. Too something.

So I am going to work on speaking in a new voice.

One that might raise a few eyebrows but may get attention.

Not for my ego but for the person reading who should take action.

I want to help. And unless I get heard I am not doing much good.

Those of you who know me realize that I would never say things just to shock. That's not me.

But I would say something that is scarily true. Maybe a little too close to home for some.

That'll get some moving.

So I will start with this.

From now the mood may change. But it is because I want to help.

Here goes nothing!

Speaking of which, you to. Get up, get out and have a great day all.

The Olympics are Here!

It's about time. This is a great time to pick up the slack in your program. There is something so inspiring about the effort these people put in. Look at the 41 yr old Dara Torres. Any age people. You can make it happen.

Naturally we need to temper our efforts with a wee bit of reality. We may not make the olympics but you can certainly get strong enough to impress family and scare the neighbors. Perhaps this will be the kick you need. Draw off the energy of the competitors. Even from here. I don't imagine we'll be able to make it to the Olympic venues. It's too much of a drive for me, at least.

I use the Tour de France to get my bicycle time up. The scenery and the ability to lose yourself in the race will help you perform at levels you wouldn't have expected from yourself.

So get your butt in front of the tv. Take a skipping rope, a matt, a couple weights and start moving. A little bit goes a long way. Recover your form and energy. Show the family how it's done.

And don't forget to scare the neighbors.
