The journey of a 1000 miles

"The journey of a 1000 miles, starts with a single step" This quote sums up life and all adventures. Whether it's lifting or losing a desired weight, or on a journey to financial freedom.
So if you have not yet begun start, take that first step and build momentum to reach your destination.
I am taking steps currently to finish my training facility, there are still a few steps to go, but I can see it on the horizon.
I will be flying out to England in 12 days, so busy times ahead. Should be great, have scored tickets to see the Villa (real football!).
Whilst on holiday I still need to take steps in order to reach my strength goals for the state titles in May, when I return. We often have hurdles to overcome, it is our decision to take them in our stride, or fall in the face of adversity. Be accountable to yourself, be positive and set lofty goals. Follow these steps and greatness is just around the corner.

Falling is over rated!

Lose 2.5-5kg in 5 days

Here is another successful and happy lady, who has used the reset plan. I know her quite well:

I'm happy to report that I lost 2.5 kgs after undertaking the 5 day reset plan. Like most wives, I don't always believe what my husband tells me, but with the Usana products Carl really does know his stuff and is definitely onto a good thing.Initially I had my reservations, I was worried about lacking in the energy I need to keep up with our 7 month old daughter and my work, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that the shakes and bars were tasty and filling and that I maintained my normal energy levels. I think the combination multi-vitamins, minerals and antioxidant tablets were very beneficial and it was great to also be able to enjoy a serve of fresh fruit or vegetables when I needed to.I would happily recommend this product to anyone and I intend to follow up with the next stage of the nutritional program to keep up my healthy eating and maintain my fat loss!

Smart training

Most of us will experience physical pain at some point, some more severely than others. The majority of the time this can be avoided. We all take our bodies for granted, until something goes wrong. We need to spend more time on self improvement, to prevent injuries.
There is the 23 and 1 rule, we may spend 1 hour a day on self improvement (training etc...) though most don't, and 23 hours undoing all the work, or adding to it dependent on your plan. Now if we use some common sense in the 23 we can help ourselves. e.g If your sitting all day, your in poor posture for large periods of time, schedule stretch and movement breaks to reduce this.
In your 1 hour of training, spend time on correcting the imbalances of the body. It's hard to believe but this will enhance performance, whether on the field, in the office or at home.
What fuel do you put in your body? Just like your car, you need a quality fuel and a regular service.
It's easy to be nonchalant and to make excuses that your too busy, but when your loved ones are the ones watching you go through rehab or worse, it effects more people than just you. If you have children, lead by example and take action. If we can reduce our levels of pain, we are less likely to lash out at others, usually the ones who mean the most to us.
All soft tissue injuries are avoidable, it takes some time to get to that stage, but is achievable. Check out the AFL this year and if you have been watching what I call football, there have been to many to count already, keep an eye out for strains, pulls and surgeries, that are caused with out contact. Many of these are avoidable with a balanced approach to training. A lot of pain is a by product of too little or too much movement in the wrong place, these are things that can be addressed through smart training. Be smart!

Weekend action

I have spent the weekend training with kettlebells. It was a good weekend and met a good bunch of guys. The coarse was run by Don Stevenson, a good guy who is gearing up for a strongman competition. After 2 days of KB training you can expect a few sore spots, especially when finishing with a 10 minute snatch density session ( as many snatches as you can in a 10 minute period, rest as much as necessary) or tabata swings (20 secs on 10 off for 4 minutes). This may sound cruisy, trust me there not, especially after training all day!
It was a really good weekend and if your interested in kettlebell training, I'll be starting some groups soon, so contact me.

Also have had some great results with the reset plan


" It was challenging, but very rewarding. Enjoyed all the products, and was blown away to lose 4.9 kg's in 5 days. I would definitely recommend the Reset plan"

Things are happening

All systems are go, currently putting a small studio together. Things are starting to take shape. Off to England a month from tomorrow for 3 weeks, it will be great to catch up with friends and family.
My training partner has the Junior nationals early next month, so we have invested in some bench shirts. We still have a bit of fine tuning to do, but I think they will help hit some big numbers.
Away for a workshop on the weekend, will update on how it goes next week.

Candice a superstar client has lost 21.1kg as of this week, a great effort and proof that your reap what you sew. Hard work, smart training and a good nutritional plan get results.

It's a long weekend here, so have a good one all,

Eat well and train hard!

Skinny or lean?










Now this is what came up when I googled skinny. This is what happens when you lose weight.
It's a much better option to work on fat loss. That way you can still keep your curves and eat. To the left is one image of healthy,
when searched the skipper below is another.
The chick on the right came up when I searched lean female body. Everybody has there own perception, but personal preferance I'd run with lean, you can still be lean and healthy, so why not have the best of both worlds. The best way to get that lean physique is getting under the bar and eating well. Dieting alone may make you skinny, but that's not that desirable.
