#1 Reason Weight Loss Program Fail

Dave Tate who I follow over at Twitter
posted this today and I felt it was
worth a share.

I hear way too many people complaining,
giving justification, and rationalization
on why they 'can't' do something.

It makes my ears hurt.

So I am hoping that this short
bit of text and video will help
at least 1 person take action
in a good direction TODAY!

If you it ends up that you are
that person, Please leave a
comment below and let me know
it was helpful.

Why Am I doing this?
Does it help me get to my goal?

Is it fun?
If there isn’t a good reason, then just cross it off of your to-do list.

Goal setting: it is much more important to do the right things adequately than it is to do thing right. Also, don’t do the wrong things beautifully.
Remember the 80/20 rule and ruthlessly shove the 80% of the things that don’t matter, off of your to-do list.

How to Do the Perfect Push-up for Your Home Workout

Last week I was watching a little ESPN in between
sessions and I saw footage of the Dallas Cowboys

Specifically their recievers, they had done something
pretty cool and powerful for accountability; but in
the long run they screwed it up.

You see for every dropped ball that they had; they were
responsible for 25 push-ups.

This a perfect set-up and desirable or undesirable
activity and a consequence.




They unfortunately screwed it all up because
their push-up form was horrible my 4 month old daught could
do push-ups better than that.

What they did is ignored the detail(s) and in
doing so they turned something cool into something
worthless.

If you are doing push-ups or any other type of
workout program in the gym or out home.

Pay attention to the details and try to get
better with your form each and every week.

Fire Your Fitness Coach

'Your F-I-R-E-D'

Some of you don’t but MOST of you need to
fire this person right NOW

You need to get them out of your life ASAP

No it’s not your boss, your mother-in-law, or
even your significant other.

Nope it’s is your fitness coach.

Who would that fitness coach be?

It would be YOU!

Why?

I am going to speak really plain with you for
a second; the reason you need to fire yourself
is:

Because you suck at a being fitness coach

You are more than likely a great at a lot of
things:

n Mother/Father
n Business owner/entrepreneur
n Lawyer
n Banker
n Doctor
n Executive
n Sale Person
n Realtor

I think you get my drift.

Get Access to Your Free Healthy Snack
Seminar

I have been pondering this for quite some
time.

Why do so many people think that they have
to coach themselves out of their fitness or
weight loss jam.

Seems like they are punishing themselves
because of the ‘mess’ they have gotten into.

‘so doggone it they sure as heck better get themselves
out of what they got into’

Kind of weird to me but oh well?

Now you may think I am being self
serving here ‘tooting my own horn’
and while more clients are always
great for business there is no way
I could or would even want to work with
all the people that read this

Here’s something to think about
you use professionals to fix a lot of other
things in your life.

n Plumbers
n Glass guys
n Investment bankers
n Exterminators
n Electricians
n Clean ladies

Yet you insist upon ‘fixing fitness’
yourself

Most would deem the above professionals a
necessity and place having a fitness
coach as a luxury.

Really, that’s where you place your health
and fitness below that of the ‘plumber’s crack’

Make Healthy and Nutritious Snacks

Interesting when you say it out loud
isn’t it.

While money can be an issue; it’s really an
excuse we all find money to spend on what
we want to spend it on.

Plus, with so many different options
available for ‘coaching’ there really is no
excuse not to have it.

Heck most of the really good fitness coaches
that I know give away more top quality material
than you would ever need.

Myself included the trick to getting all the
free coaching you ever want is to read and watch
the videos that the coach you choose puts out.

If you do this one simple thing you can have
free fitness coaching for life.

So how do you know if you need to fire yourself
simple; during your ‘coaching’ time.

Did you achieve the result you wanted?

If you didn’t have a goal then fire yourself right now!

Free Healthy Snack Seminar Sunday

Yes, ok then keep coaching yourself

No, ‘You’re F-I-R-ED-‘

I am Going To Snoop Around Her House

So my wife and I are going
out to dinner party/networking
event Saturday night.

It will be our first night of
leaving Piper with someone
else.

While going it out will be
fun the real fun will be
when I snoop around our
host's house a little bit and see
if there is any dust collecting
on her dumbbells and stability
ball.

Yeah know if I took the
'white glove' test to most
people's exercise equipment
they would fail miserably.

It just so happens that host
of our party worked out in using
my 30 minute workouts
and lost 25lbs like lightening
fast.

So while I maybe being a bit
nosey I want to make sure
she is doing her part to keep
that 25lbs from ever coming
back.

Just think how great your
results could be if you had
access to a motivational workout
delivered directly to your home.

That only took up 30
minutes of your time.

You could be the one losing
25lbs and have your friends
and family wondering what
the heck you've been up to.

Exercise Excuse Buster

A few weeks ago one of my clients comes to me
and says I want to get in better shape.

Right the word ‘want’ always raises ‘red flags’
for me.

Anyway I listen as they proceed to tell
me

‘I really want to get fit, but I don’t
want exercise to run my life’

After scratching my head for a few
seconds I had a couple follow up
question for them.

Is exercise good for you?
Yes
No

Do you feel like you need to exercise
more in order to get in the shape you want?
Yes
No

99.9% of the time the answers those 2
questions is, Yes.

So the follow-up is why not exercise more?

Because they are clinging to this big fat
excuse sandwich of a statement:

‘I really want to get fit, but I don’t
want exercise to run my life’


Get Your Free In Home Training Session

There are 3 areas we always need to
remember when taking a look
at this problem.

#1 What specifically do you want and, NO
--- lose weight
--- feel better
--- get healthier
--- not feel old

These are NOT specific they are canned BS
‘right’ answers. That no one really gives
hoot about.

The type of answer that needs to be is:

I a ready to drop the 20lbs of fat from my
belly/butt,etc.., so I don’t feel like a
slob, don't have achy joints, so that I feel
and move more like I am 33 than 53 and
I am willing to do what ever it takes to make
that happen by 1 June 2009

Now that is a ‘specific want’

#2 My colleague Gregg Swanson has 5 simple questions
that he asks all clients before they work with him; they are
simple questions and really have only 1 answer.

Here’s Question #1

1. I am ready to do whatever it takes to reach my goals? Yes No

Think about that for a second, say it out loud, even write it down
on paper.

So what’s your answer?

#3 Ok, most people need to add more exercise
to their routine.

But how much to add and how to add it are
the 2 biggest questions.

Well let’s breakout the calculators and do some quick
math.

We all have 168 hours in the week available

We have 2 guaranteed time usages:

Minus work 9hrs x 5 days = 45 hrs (most work more than this)

Minus sleep 8hrs x 7 days = 56hrs (most sleep less than this)

These 2 even out in the end which leaves us with 67 hrs or 9.6 hrs per day
on avg that we can commit to ‘doing whatever it takes’.

So you have some family time excellent, some commute time,

you shop for food, house/yard work, and you have a hobby.

Let’s say you commit equally to these 5 activities of 8 hours

each that 40 hrs and we are left with 27 hours.

Where does the rest of that time go?

I beg to bet that a very large chunk of that 27 hrs
goes toward TV watching

How much time do you need to be fit?
Recieve Your Free Home Workout


Well it’s quite simple because it has been researched;
and someone who is consider fit exercises 5 hrs per week.

So where does that leave us, we need approximately 1/5

of the total 27 hr left to achieve ‘fitness’

‘doing whatever it takes’ doesn’t seem so bad when
you break it down that way.

Subtract the exercise time and you'll still have
22 hours almost a whole day to do
with whatever you want.

Fat Loss Food Shockers

So the other day I showed you the Top 10 Worst Fat Loss Meals

Now I am going to show a few of the so-called healthy shockers
that were on the rest of the list.

Remember I also told you that I was going to do a comparison
remember on the ‘bad food’ eating plan you get to consume 3,170
calories per spread over the course of 1.43 meals per day

**Click on Picture for a better View*

Well I took the same number and I wanted to show what you could
get for your 3,170 calories if you just cleaned up your eating just
a little bit this isn’t even close to optimal fat loss eating. I still
even put in a fast food sandwich.

What with this simple profile you get a lot more bang for you buck, you should get
at least 4-6 meals out of that.

So you can see that meal weight loss nutrition doesn’t have to
be restrictive at all and to be honest if you currently lean more towards
the 1.43 meals plan; you would likely experience some pretty significant
results just by making the simple switch to better quality.

Top 10 Worst Fat Loss Foods

Today I want to keep it simple and share with you part of the list of
20 worst meals you could eat.

What follows are the top ten worst meals you could possibly eat; and the
sad thing is that the majority are probably pretty commonly consumed

Click Here if You would like to Attend a Live ATS Fat Loss Workout

If you take a quick peak at the nutritional number even
the most novice can figured out 2 things very quickly:

1. Most of these meals account for at least 75% of the total
caloric intake most women and men should be taking.

2. These are fairly common meals for most people,
it is not surprising 65% of Americans are over weight.

Let’s a do a little quick math here:

If you are eating ‘normally’ not even trying to get in
4-6 meals per day but just eat 3 meals per day.

You eat 21 times per week so these 10 meals would
represent less than 50% of the meals
of someone who has an ‘average’ feeding frequency.

Now let’s take a look at the caloric volume of these 10 meals

1,540 + 1,600 + 1,820 + 2,040 + 2,100 + 2,310 +
2,430 + 2,740 + 2,710 + 2,900

The Grand total is 22,190 calories in just 10 meals

If we divide that by the 7 days in the week it would average
out to a daily caloric intake of 3,170 calories per day.

Remember those 10 meals equate to only eating
1.43 meals per day.

This makes it pretty easy to see how someone
might say well I am only eating 1 meal per day and
still gaining fat.


You also have to wonder what is happening in the
other 11 meals or even the liquid calories?

10.Worst Breakfast Bob Evans Caramel Banana Pecan Cream Stacked and Stuffed Hotcakes

1,540 calories 77 g fat (9 g trans fat) 198 g carbs(109 g sugar)

9.Worst Dessert Chili's Chocolate Chip Paradise Pie with Vanilla Ice Cream

1,600 calories 78 g fat 215 g carbs

8.Worst Chinese Entree P.F. Chang's Pork Lo Mein

1,820 calories 127 g fat 95 g carbs

7.Worst Chicken Entree Chili's Honey Chipotle Crispers with Chipotle Sauce

2,040 calories 99 g fat 240 g carbs

6.Worst Fish Entree On the Border Dos XX Fish Tacos with Rice and Beans

2,100 calories 130 g fat 169 g carbs4,750 mg sodium

5.Worst Pizza Uno Chicago Grill Chicago Classic Deep Dish Pizza

2,310 calories162 g fat 123 g carbs4,470 mg sodium

Click Here if You would like to Attend a Live ATS Fat Loss Workout


4.Worst Pasta Macaroni Grill Spaghetti and Meatballs with Meat Sauce

2,430 calories128 g fat 207 g carbs5,290 mg sodium

3.Worst Nachos On the Border Stacked Border Nachos

2,740 calories 166 g fat 191 g carbs5,280 mg sodium

2.Worst Starter Chili's Awesome Blossom

2,710 calories 203 g fat 194 g carbs6,360 mg sodium
















2,900 calories 182 g fat 240 g carbs

If you take a little closer look at things you’ll see that every
single meal above is made outside of the home.

This is exactly why one of the categories that my clients track
on their ATS Recovery Matrix are Meals At home

If you think that you would have to starve yourself if you didn’t eat out;
I am going to give you direct comparison between 'typical ' and healthy eating
later this week. I think you'll be quite shocked because I am even going
to throw some fast food into my 'healthy' plan

What’s Your Problem, Stress or Crisis

Quote of the Day: two kinds of pain. Pain of discipline and pain of regret. Either you discipline yourself and train for victory, or you will live with the pain of regret.

Economic crap is all around us people are
losing money, losing jobs, and generally living in fear.

People are waiting for the other foot to drop,
running around like chickens with their heads cut off.

There are a lot of people and companies looking for help.

Looking for

--stimulus packages
--handouts
--mortgage money
--bailouts
etc..

All in the name of keeping the lifestyle they have; and not 'going under'

What does all this have to do with fitness, STRESS!

All stress has the potential to produce a BENEFIT especially in exercise that is why good programming will consistently and systematically expose the trainee to new and different stress.

While stress can be detrimental it is only so when we can not recover from it.

Meaning we:

--exercise too much without getting enough sleep = equals an over stressed body

or

--'take our work' home and dwell on it and not get enough sleep = over stress mind and body. Doubly bad.

It's all lack of recovery and that is bad.

Unfortunately most people derive their stress from the later not the former.

When it comes to stress there are two clear defining factors

--Time Management -- most people suck at this, even better most people don't even attempt it.

--There is a difference between crisis and stress--

stress is a result of lack or poor time management = lagging project at work or home

crisis - an acute unexpected adverse environment in which we are forced to become reactive = being lost in the woods, having your home catch fire.

So if you find yourself being 'stressed out' here are some tips to help you 'de-stress'

1. Remember that you live in the greatest country in the world and that with a little personal accountability by each and everyone of us it will be ok.
What can you do, remember the JFK speech?

2. If you think you are stressed take a moment and think about what it must be like to be president Obama, operating in arguably one of the most difficult economic situation in the country's history.

None of us have anything on him.

3. Set yourself a time log to get things done and try to stick to it

4. As the old pastor for our college football team used to say, 'don't sweat the small stuff because it is all small stuff' I usually live by the terms especially when it comes to work it will always be there tomorrow and if you don't get it done today they aren't going to fire you.

That is if you are good at what you do.


5. Healthy eating is paramount to stress management poor, fast food and reactive nutrition will make your stress and stress hormone roller coaster rival anything that they have at Disneyworld.

Not fun, eat some veggies, drink water, have some lean protein. and fruit

6. Meditative movement/exercise if you truly have too much stress, going in and lifting super heavy or blowing it out with super hard workout is likely a bad idea.

What you should look towards are things Qi Gong, Tai Chi, Yoga, simple body weight movement. It really comes down to moving and deep breathing. All which is made even better if you can get outdoors

Those are my top 6 stress management tips for making your life stress proof.


Remember what most of have is stress not crisis, own it, management it, move forward.

It's Go Time

I called up one of my clients the
other day and asked her if she had any good
blog topics as I had run short of things to talk
about.

I know it’s hard to imagine but it happens sometimes.

Anyway she gave me a motto that she sometimes uses:

'Just put on Your Shoes and Go!'

This really great especially since so many people drag their feet getting started with their fitness plan.

They are always waiting:

--Until after the holidays
--Until after their birthday
--Until after their company goes home
--Until after their vacation
--Until after their anniversary

Seriously, enough with the excuses

'Just put on Your Shoes and Go!'

The other people that need to take up this motto
are those that like to do research they want to know
and have everything just right the 'perfect plan' you know.

Sorry to burst your bubble, there is no perfect plan

My friend Dax likes to say

'no plan/program survives contact with the enemy'

What's happening to you is a little something
we like to call 'paralysis by analysis' and while
you are more knowledgeable than the fat turd of
a couch potato, your actions are the same.

You need to shut off your 'inner chatter box' and

'Just put on Your Shoes and Go!'

So if you can right now go to your bedroom
put on your workout clothes, shoes, and do something anything.

--Do some planks
--Do some lunges
--Do some squats
--Do some push-ups
--Do some jumps
--Go for a run

If you can't go right NOW make commitment to
yourself that no matter what you will do something TODAY!

--You can't be too tired
--You can't be too stressed
--You can't be too hungry
--Your favorite TV show can wait

Most of the time when I get a chance to do
my 100 reps of Kettlebell exercise, that I do
each and everyday.


I don't always 'feel like it' but
I do it even if it 9pm at night.

Because it is for me; because it is important too me.

In 56 days of doing this I have missed 1 day because
I forgot about it, I made it up double the next day and
kept moving.

So today know matter who you are or what your
level of fitness is get yourself up and



'Just put on Your Shoes and Go!'

They Should Call it Child Abuse: Drinking Ourselves Obese:

Over the last couple months I have noticed several
striking examples of exactly how the childhood
obesity epidemic is growing in the USA.

If you think I am sensationalizing this check out
some of the stats in the videos I will share with you later.

Here are the exact three instances that really troubled
me:

On my commute into work, while I was stopped on
an on ramp I look over and see what must be a 8-10 yr
cute young girl vigorously chugging on a full 2-liter bottle
of Coke

Sad excuse for breakfast

The other day I saw a little girl walking out of the grocery
she was probably 5-7yrs old again gulping down on a 20 oz
of regular Coca Cola

Again fairly early in the morning, amazing.


Then just last week I notice what must be a junior high kid
on his walk to school tipping back and finishing a 2-liter of
Sprite.


Just in case you are wondering here’s what one gets when they
consume 2 liters of soda

Calories800
Sodium280 mg
Total Fat0 g
Potassium0 mg
Saturated0 g
Total Carbs216 g
Polyunsaturated0 g
Dietary Fiber0 g
Monounsaturated0 g
Sugars216 g
Trans0 g
Protein0 g
Cholesterol0 mg


See What the President Thinks:





All of this just makes me horribly sad; because these young people really
don’t have chance.

They are being set up, led astray, with what seems to be zero guidance
sure the junior high kid is a little hard to account for; but not the other two though they were both seemingly with their parents.

Come on folks, could we give just a little bit of a shit.

Honesty, has it come to point where we where we say that you are at least
giving my kids coca-coca puffs and not soda for breakfast.

Wow, I sure hope not but I am afraid it is true.

Unfortunately I think this is the case, even further it seems
to be very sticky subject that is difficult to address because the parents
and their personal activities are deeply associated with the problem

I don’t think there is a quick or easy way out of this mess and honestly
long term it just may have deeper and longer lasting repercussions than this economic shit
storm we are in; let’s hope the America kicks it’s self in the ass to start
giving a shit about itself again.

Get Some Scary Stats About Childhood Obesity



Here's Your Chance to Get the 'No Calorie Counting' Nutrition Plan



*************************************************
Below is an expert from Dr Mercola that I though you might find intriguing I have highlighted a few of the main points
http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2009/01/20/the-obesity-tax-proposal-a-good-idea-or-a-waste-of-time.aspx



How Soda and Sugary Drinks Contribute to the Obesity Epidemic

As of 2005, white bread was dethroned as the number one source of calories in the American diet, being replaced by soft drinks.

During the past half-century, the number of carbonated soft-drink drinkers rose more than 450 percent and jumped from 11 gallons in 1946 to 49 gallons in the year 2000.

Currently, the average American drinks more than 60 gallons of soft drinks each year.

During this time, obesity rates have skyrocketed.

One independent, peer-reviewed study published in the British medical journal The Lancet demonstrated a strong link between soda consumption and childhood obesity.

They found that 12-year-olds who drank soft drinks regularly were more likely
to be overweight than those who didn't.

In fact, for each additional daily serving of sugar-sweetened soft drink consumed during the nearly two-year study, the risk of obesity jumped by 60 percent. Just one extra can of soda per day can add as much as 15 pounds to your weight over the course of a single year!

At that rate, it’s no wonder more than 65 percent of all American adults
struggle with overweight and obesity.

How Soda Affects Your Body

First of all, just one can of Coke contains 10 teaspoons of sugar.
This is 100 percent of your recommended daily intake (which is more than double my recommended daily allowance to begin with).

Within 20 minutes of drinking that soda, your blood sugar spikes,
and your liver responds to the resulting insulin burst by turning massive
amounts of sugar into fat.

Within 40 minutes, your blood pressure rises due to your body having absorbed all the caffeine, and then your livers dumps even more sugar into your bloodstream.

After about one hour, you’ll start to have a sugar crash, which oftentimes leads
you into a vicious cycle of consuming more stimulants, followed by crashes, throughout your day.

It is also a proven fact that sugar increases your insulin levels, which can lead
to not only weight gain, but also high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease, diabetes, premature aging and many more negative side effects. In fact, sugar is so bad for your health in so many ways.

I even created an entire list outlining 100-Plus Ways in Which Sugar
Can Damage Your Health.

Soda drinkers also have higher cancer risk, and soda has even been shown to cause DNA damage – courtesy of sodium benzoate, a common preservative found in many soft drinks, which has the ability to switch off vital parts of your DNA. This could eventually lead to diseases such as cirrhosis of the liver and Parkinson's.

So needless to say, anything that will curb the excessive consumption of soda can be a good move – as long as consumers aren’t willing to simply shell out more money for their daily soda fix…

Are You a Pill Popper

I don’t know if you have seen it or not but Wynonna Judd’s commercial where she pitching the dumbed down version of Xenical, you know the diet drug that has a ‘good safety record’ and only causes "stools that may be hard to control."

Yeah that winner.

Seriously it makes me want to puke

Especially the part where she goes on about how she wouldn’t recommend any thing that wasn’t approved by the FDA are you freaking kidding me.

Check out this study below about the some past history of the brilliant FDA and diet drugs.

“Last September the FDA took the diet drugs fenfluramine and dexfenluramine off the market because of heart valve damage to 31% of those who took the drugs in combination with another diet pill, phentermine (a combination known as fen/- phen) Fenfluramine could also damage heart valves when taken alone. By the time fenfluramine was banned, it had been on the market for 24 years.” [ http://www.dendrites.com/articles/drugprob.htm ]

Come on Wynonna you and Queen Latifa for that matter; sure you are both pitching living a healthful lifestyle great in concept not so great when you don’t do a damn thing about it.

I get all the unfair pressure women have to ‘look a certain way’ and think that it is bullshit too.

But if you are not going to get into aesthetic shape by losing some body fat, at least give us something more then a stroll with your family or a plod on the treadmill.

Is that really inspiring to anyone?

How about tell us about:
Ø how great you joints feel
Ø that you can run a 5K
Ø you can lift some weights
Ø climb a mountain
Ø swim
Ø ride a bike
Ø or even that you have lowered your cholesterol by ‘8 points’ even Quaker oats give us some proof.

Give us something to believe that you aren’t just lining your bank accounts with some fat cash.

“I’ve considered every diet under the sun, but so many of them wanted me to be something I’m not and do things I knew were not healthy for me. Then I discovered alli. With the alli® program, I’m learning how to make and maintain healthier lifestyle choices. It keeps me honest with myself and allows me to set realistic goals.”

Instead we get some crap about realistic goals, more like no goals, way to set the bar low.

It’s terribly unfortunate that you have swung the pendulum to the far other side of the spectrum the side opposite of Lindsey Lohan, Kelly Ripa, and all the rest of the twig like stars.

The real true of ‘realistic’ is in the middle, healthy, active, fit, and strong and which none of the above are.

That which is so terribly unfortunate because so many women see and aspire to become either
side of that pendulum when they could b something much better, yet there is no one there from
a big market angle to show them the way, and that just plain sucks.

Nope instead we get ‘coked out’ bingers and fatties who lines their pockets with cash; and not a damn person leading from the front.

Oh yeah one last thing for the drug companies that twisted their ‘shit your self’ prescription diet drug into an over the counter version so they could sell more.

Yeah you greedy pricks are all about money too.

Checkout a few stats from a compilation of multiple studies, then tell me how ‘right’ the FDA is.

Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) in 1998, a report finds that prescription drugs kill about 106,000 Americans each year – that’s three times as many as are killed by automobiles—making prescription drug death the fourth leading killer after heart disease, cancer and stroke. [http://www.injuryboard.com/national-news/prescription-drug-deaths-soar.aspx?googleid=29488 ]

The sale of prescription drugs has more than doubled in the U.S. during the past 8 years. In 1990, Americans spent $37.7 billion on prescriptions; in 1997, national spending on prescriptions reached 78.9 billion.[3] Prescription drugs are the fastest-growing portion of health-care costs, having risen at the rate of 17% per year for the past few years.[3]

I don’t have a problem with people making some money in the weight loss industry but at least
do something that is actually healthful and helpful to the end user.

Beyond that can we get a spokesperson that can lead from the front.

The Price of Pain

Quote of the Day: 'Life is 10 percent of what happens to you and 90 percent of how you react to it,'-- Lou Holtz

I love when readers send me questions to answer here’s
to a question my friend Lisa A.

She has friend who has been in chronic pain for quite
a long time, can’t move, had de-mobilizing surgery,
and prescribed pain meds that
help the pain but produce ancillary weight gain.

A-#1-Numero Uno – Always consult your Physician
this critical important

Beyond that I am going to share a tip or two with
you that if you are in this type of situation or
any other that will allow the opportunity for success.

I am guessing this individual has not exercised in
a long, long time.

So now you want to make a decision to take
some degree of control back.

What do you do?

Living in pain/fear seems to be very good at
eating away one’s soul and leaving us scared and
confused about what we can do.

So at this point in time I would say there
are 2 guiding protocols:

1. Any stimulus is new and good stimulus; no
matter, how long, how hard, or how intense

You can NOT compare ‘what you used to do’
this a new point in time and starting from
scratch

Gotta accept it, take it on and succeed.


2. Whatever you choose to do must NOT make your pain worse
if it does search out something else. There’s
a lot stuff out there and with the internet a ton
of it is at your finger tips and free.



I must say that have been lucky enough to never
know this type of pain. That being said
I have seen and been exposed to what it does to
others.

I do know a couple things

1. Ultimately we are all in control of our of
our health. We call the shots; the Dr.’s
give us advice we make decisions. I watched
my wife going through cancer do this amazingly
well. It works.

2. Pain and Self Care are both easy to ignore early
on but undoubtedly lead to two different paths.

Pain does NOT go away with rest, it is usually
progressive.

It can be managed and maybe go away with self-care


3. Ultimately we will be led 1 of two choices

a. Medical Intervention – sometimes successful sometimes not

b. Pro-Active Self Care – depending on when one comes to this
decision it may or may not be a viable option.

Self care is best initiated early, subsequently the longer self care has been ignored, it will exponentially effect amount of time it takes for self-care to be successful

(when I say self care I am not talking about voodoo, witch
doctor stuff I am talking about research and education learning
about your condition and testing what might be a good way to help
you. Although nothing should be discounted if it works for you)

Self-care takes more total investment of: time, ought of pocket
money, emotion, your beliefs, all of it.


When you get to the self care phase you will have reached the
phase of being sick and tired of being sick and tired.

And you are going to do something about it, guess that’s what it’s called
self-care

So long story short of it I would say movement as much
as you can as long as it doesn’t make things any worse

Look at various traditional and non-traditional treatments

Look at nutrition if you can’t exercise nutrition is a great
to become engaged with managing your health

Keep a journal so you KNOW, don’t trust your memory.

Turn your life into a progressive experiment
-- Test
-- Document
-- Learn
-- Repeat or Move-On

Choose variety of easy things a few examples might be

 Walking
 Riding a bike
 Qi Gong
 Tai Chi
 Deep Breathing
 Pre-natal Yoga(I say this specific to this instance because this type of yoga is very mild)
 Do step-ups on to a small platform maybe 6 inches or less
 Maybe some Isometric holds

This is just my simple observation and perspective on how one to can start to
manage pain and figure out what is going to work for them.

Quote of the Day: successfull people are simply those who are willing to do what 'tryers' wont.
-Paul Mort


Ok, after a very hectic week I am back.


The reason for my week being so hectic is the new addition to
Team Anderson



Piper Elizabeth Anderson--8lbs--21 inches





Even though I was a little distracted last week
I was able to get quite a bit done, besides sending
out a few e-mails etc...

The one main thing that I was able to do was maintain
the pursuit of at least one of my fitness goals

My 100 reps Kettlebell challenge per day

I got lifts in every single day.

I even did snatches in the hospital parking lot on Thursday
night, just hours after Piper was born.

Why?

Not because I am bat shit crazy, and not because I am
so myopically focused that I can only go after and appreciate
1 goal at a time.

No for several reasons

-- It is a goal

-- I had been stuck inside a hospital for like 24hr straight
basically and I need some fresh air.


-- It made me feel better

Before we left for home on Sunday I saw this show on TLC
one of the best shows I have ever seen depicting how fatally
flawed humans can be.

The film crew and producers do an excellent job
showing the deeper levels of the problem

With obesity/overweight issues rising world
wide I can't beat this topic hard enough or
with a big enough hammer.

Watch, Be Amazed, and Vow to Never Let Yourself
Get even Close to what you will see below.




If you have been kicking around the idea of taking on
my exercise contest in May you should probably get
started sooner than later.

I posted the PT Contest Standards today so you
know what you need to shoot for.
