I’m gonna keep it simple today.

I want to share with you a radio show I used to host a while back. This is the first show introducing the concept of the show and what “The Fitness Truth” really is. Why you don’t need fancy equipment, supplements or anything outside of “you” to get the results you are after.

Take a look here (or rather take a listen)….

It’s in mp3 format, you can download it and listen to it anywhere.

Are you ready for Judgment Day?

Finally, it’s here, the warmth of Summer.

Memorial day came and passed, the next major marking of the year is July 4th.

Independence Day. Or as I like to call it Judgment day. The deep of summer where people start swimming. You know what that means - swimming suits.

Are you ready?

If not - you’d better get doing.

Here’s what you’ll need.

1. A varied workout plan
2. Rock solid nutrition
3. Endless motivation

With the combination of these 3 you could certainly trim the fat by July 4th (just 5 weeks away).

This is your opportunity to look your best and be proud of it.

For any program to work you need these things to happen:

1. You’ll need to burn more calories than you take it (negative energy balance)
2. The best way to do this is by exercising (stimulating your muscles)
3. The next best way is a small deficit through nutrition about 10-20
4. Doing the best types of exercise and eating the best types of food will increase the effectiveness by a lot.
5. Supplements - while they are often abused and overused, there are some helpful supplements either for convencience or to make sure you’re filling in any nutritional voids.

Here’s just a quick follow up post to the part 1 of this same title.

A note about the gaining 37 lbs. on vacation. Now, I did this just for fun and I don’t recommend it to anyone else. But this was a 1 week vacation. Just 7 days. That’s it.

I managed to fit as much food possible into my mouth at every feeding time.

I ceased all physical activity (anything more than brushing my teeth).

And the result, I went from about 222 to 259. That’s right at about 37 lbs.

Just an example of how much eating can have an affect on your fitness. So the take home lesson here is: No amount of exercise can counteract poor food choices. Actually this same theme was in last month’s InHealthNW article about food journaling.

Now when it comes to fitness, what do you think has the main influence on how you look?

1. Is it your actions every day
2. Your friends for tempting you various foods
3. Your parents for giving you the genetics you have
4. The donut guy at work for bringing the box of donuts every week

While 2,3 & 4 may certainly have an influence on your fitness. It is ultimately up to you to determine how you want to look and feel. You are in control of how you look, you are not a victim to any circumstances. One of my favorite quotes goes something like this: “successful people in life believe they create their life through the actions, not a victim to life’s circumstances”.

Too often we defer the blame, guilt, responsibility to outside of ourselves. As a way to relieve pressure and have a valid excuse.

I’m writing a series of articles for Eve Magazine on this very thing - Excuse Busters. Just this last month was about “Are You Playing The Blame Game”

Take a look at it!

One thing is for sure, if you don’t do anything, nothing will happen.
