'6 Tips On Uncensored Sales Strategies'

"How To Move From Ameteur To Pro"





1. Treat selling as a PROFESSION

The sales pro should always strive to proactively provide exceptional customer service and acknowledge their customers , clients, prospects, and champions existence. For this one act alone you will be rewarded for the initiative.

2. Enforce STANDARDS of Professionalism

You can keep, attract, and multiply particularly affluent clients by showing initiative and following up. The fact is such behavior is so rare and unique to ameteurs you will be recognized as the pro.

3. Pay extreme attention to DETAILS and proper Questions

Ask any poor person you encounter for a list of the last ten books they read about subjects that could help them not be poor, the dates they were read, and the ideas they extracted from them and acted on. When their answer is few or none, you will have a clue to the true causes of their financial poverty. Don't be one of them become a student of sales, marketing, and wealth.

4. Discover why top earners earn far more, work less, and have OVERCOME their personal handicaps their unsuccessful peers do not have.

These pros make themselves into consummate professionals, go about their business with committment to professionalism, and present themselves to their clientele as a pro.

5. Realize by acting like the pros YOU too will become a pro.

When you start to act on these strategies you will also garner infinitly more access, acceptance, trust, respect, appreciation, loyalty, and referrals.

6. Consider selling as a PERFORMANCE.

Watch the pros get more leverage out of each relationship by being recognized as the pro. The secret between the pros and ameteurs is leverage, not harder work, longer hours, better leads, or luck. Think clearly, keep sharping the saw, and think smart daily. Decide to be a pro Now and you will be happier then you ever imagined possible. Have a blessed day!

'3 Tips On The Power Of Magic Thinking'

How You Can Acquire The Secrets Of Success... Achieve Everything You've Always Wanted:
Fabulous Health, Fitness, Well being, And A Enjoyable More Balanced Life.

'Harness the power of belief'

1.Q: Ask yourself why am I just a middle-class failure when it comes to my health and fitness goals? Why am I trying to get ahead too quickly, easily, with little effort, that only represents a small step forward?

A: Take out a sheet of paper or hotel stationary it doesn't matter where you are or what you are doing just take these action steps and write the names of 5 people that you admire and respect in the health and fitness industry and for the way they take care of their health & fitness responsibilities.

2.Q: Next, ask yourself what do these 5 people have that I don't have, besides better health, fitness, and bodies?

A: Compare yourself with them on intelligence, the brains department, education, integrity, or personal habits. Finally, and lastly but most importantly what about your initiative?

3. Q: Now ask yourself to be honest with yourself and admit it, have you ever really stuck to one thing you've ever tried and stayed consistent with it?

A: When you get to this point your record will show you will be far below those of your 5 well respected and admired health and fitness role models, but your mind will be astonishingly clear. You will see your weak point for the first time and discover that you've held back.

Get rid of that little stick my friend, dig deeper and deeper and know that you are worth it! Quite selling yourself short no one else will believe in you until you do. Find that new found confidence and don't ever quite no matter what the odds are against you! I wish you all luck in your health and fitness dreams.

Breathing Disorders

Most people do not think much about breathing until it becomes difficult (i.e., when you’re exercising, when you come down with a cold, etc). When you have a breathing disorder, you’ll suddenly find yourself thinking about your lungs in ways you never did before, and you'll no longer take breathing for granted. Knowing what goes on inside the body helps. The more you understand about how the lungs work, the better you’ll be at figuring out how breathing disorders affect you and your clients.

Symptoms

Breathing disorders such as chronic bronchitis, emphysema and asthma are conditions associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and are the most common diagnosed diseases related to respiratory dysfunction. Chronic bronchitis is an inflammatory condition caused by persistent production of sputum due to a thickened bronchial wall, which in turn creates a reduction of airflow. Emphysema is a disease of the lungs that affects the small airways. An enlargement of air spaces accompanied by the progressive destruction of alveolarcapillary units leads to elevated pulmonary vascular resistance, which in most cases can contribute to heart failure. Asthma is usually brought on by a spasmodic contraction of smooth muscle around the bronchi that produces swelling of the mucosal cells lining the bronchi and an excessive secretion of mucous. Constriction of airway paths associated with asthma results in attacks that may be caused by allergic reactions, exercise, air quality factors and stress.

Pulmonary diseases affect the respiratory system’s ability to transport oxygen during exercise to the tissue level via the cardiovascular system. The systematic breakdown that occurs as a result of inadequate oxygen supply creates a greater than normal demand on the function of the cardiorespiratory system, in some cases markedly reducing exercise tolerance.

The major signs or symptoms of COPD include the following:

* Dizziness or fainting (syncope)
* Unusual fatigue or shortness of breath with usual activities
* Shortness of breath at rest or with mild exertion
* Rapid heart rate (palpitations or tachycardia)
* Pain and/or discomfort in the chest, neck, jaw, arms or other areas that may be due to lack of blood flow

It is important for personal trainers to understand these signs and symptoms. If an individual exhibits these signs or symptoms, it is the role and responsibility of the personal trainer to take appropriate action, and if you are ever unsure of what the appropriate action is, refer your client elsewhere.

COPD steals your energy, which has a ripple effect through the rest of your body during everyday activity and exercise. For clients with healthy lungs, normal breathing doesn’t take a lot of energy. In fact, clients with healthy lungs only use energy to breathe when they inhale to inflate the lungs (exhaling is a passive activity because healthy lungs are elastic and can push the air out on their own). With COPD, the lungs can lose that elastic quality, so you have to use extra energy to force air out of the lungs. In other words, your client has to use twice the energy just to breathe. The gas exchange is less efficient, so your client’s body doesn’t have as much oxygen to fuel itself, and your client becomes tried more quickly. Some clients will even use more calories to breathe, which may sound good but is not as it leaves fewer calories for energy and exercise. Unfortunately, the energy drain can also make it harder for clients with COPD to get the nutrition they need. The digestion process itself takes a great deal of energy, so COPD clients often do not feel like eating (medication can also affect appetite), which can be very unhealthy.

Exercise Program

As we all know, exercise has many benefits. It makes your heart and circulatory system stronger, helps control blood pressure and improves the heart’s ability to pump blood, which in turn means more oxygen and energy. The lack of oxygen and sufficient calorie intake (as stated before) may lead to a loss of muscle mass and strength. This is why exercise is such a critical component of a comphensive treatment plan for any severity of COPD. Aerobic exercise like walking or riding a stationary bike helps to bring more oxygen into the body and tone the muscles. This kind of conditioning has been shown to reduce symptoms like shortness of breath and improve overall quality of life, no matter the severity of your client’s COPD. A regular exercise regimen improves sleep quality, which increases energy and promotes better posture, balance and flexibility. The list of positives for regular exercise in COPD sufferers goes on and covers everything from emotional to physical strength and everything in between.

Before starting any COPD exercise program, an evaluation of physical activity and exercise patterns should be completed. This evaluation needs to include identifying the specific activity and the frequency, volume and level of intensity of that activity. Also, you'll need to document any potentially harmful signs or symptoms associated with the activity, particularly shortness of breath or chest pains. Any musculoskeletal concerns related to joint discomfort or chronic pain should also be identified.

Every effective exercise program needs to take into consideration proper regression and progression. With clients who have COPD, every exercise should be a regression (the level of regression will be dependent on the individual's fitness level). The following aerobic exercises are listed in order from LEAST to MOST likely to induce an attack such as exercise-induced asthma or exercise-induced bronchitis.

* Pool Swimming
o Low Intensity - The moisture will help keep the air passage from drying, which can cause an attack.
* Walking
o Low Intensity - It is very easy to keep the heart rate consistent when walking.
* Cycling
o Low to Moderate Intensity - The intensity can be easily controlled while cycling.
* Treadmill Running
o High Intensity - The body needs more oxygen for this activity, so you most progress to this point.
* Outdoor Running
o High Intensity - A lot of oxygen is needed to run outdoors, plus the outside temperature could cause an attack. This is the last aerobic progression.

Any progression beyond this could be to increase the intensity further by introducing weight training. The key is to pay close attention to your client's breathing. The weight training program to follow looks like this:

* Light Weight/Moderate Reps
o Low Intensity - Helps to build a foundation.
* Basic Movements (i.e., push, pull, bend, twist, lunge, squat)
o Help to improve posture, which will make it easier to breath.
* Body Weight Movement
o Low to Moderate Intensity - You can control the intensity by adding speed and reps.
* Isometric Exercise/Continual Resistance
o Low to High Intensity - Push muscles to endurance failure, which is great for calorie burn and strength building.
* Circuit Training
o High Intensity - Perform both aerobic and anaerobic workout. This is the last progression point.

The key is keeping the workout intensity controlled until your client has progressed to a higher intensity. Like any client, progress should be gradual, but with clients who have COPD, this will take longer. A tip is to keep heart rate consistent (i.e., try not to let it dip or spike). Most attacks occur due to dry, cold air or when a high volume of oxygen is needed in a short period of time, so keep that in mind when training outside or during high intensity workouts.

Clients who have COPD use more energy to do less. Even relatively passive activities like reaching for something on a shelf or bending to pick something up from the floor takes more energy. So much of the body’s resources are diverted to the task of breathing, eventually there’s next to nothing left over for other activities. The right combination of nutrition and exercise can and will fend off attacks and improve your client's overall quality of life.

The Power Of The Core and Neurostabilization Training

Core training and neurostabilization training are extremely popular but as professionals we must understand the science and technology behind current trends in exercise. Core training can be just another fad or it can be a scientifically-based methodology that involves a functional and progressive approach to movement re-education and performance enhancement. It is important that you understand the necessary steps to develop a ‘core training’ program. It is also important that you understand that many variations of training and many opinions will be presented to you; however, there is a neurological framework and musculoskeletal structure that require a special sequential approach. This article will discuss the philosophy and the sequence behind building a practical model for training the core.

First, you must understand that the brain recognizes movement patterns and not simply muscle groups. Yet, many professionals are still stuck in isolation training or muscle group training. Understanding movement patterns is a little more in-depth and complicated than simply understanding muscle groups. You need to understand the role of stabilizers and the role of movers. You need to understand the most basic patterns of human movement and how they build upon each other in a neuro-developmental sequence starting in infancy and developing through childhood. You also need to understand that the most fundamental activities of the human body revolve around simple and basic movements of running and climbing.

Running demands that a spine be stable and transfer energy from one leg to the other as well as deal with the counterbalance movement of the arms as they swing, whereas climbing requires that the spine be mobile, adaptable and dynamic. These are two very fundamental movements of the human body, and yet they contrast each other in their demands of the core.

You must also understand that the core runs on a reflex base. This means that the core musculature is engaged by reflexes in response to your actions and reactions. As many of your movements involving the limbs are structured, controlled, planned out and trained, the movements of your core are reflex driven in an attempt to stabilize the spine so that more efficient movement patterns of the extremities can be produced. When the core is not functioning properly, you should first look for things that would limit this reflex behavior - significant limitations with respect to flexibility as well as asymmetries between the left and right side of the body. Imbalances in muscle groups including agonist and antagonist can all create a need for the core to compensate.

When the core must compensate, the effectiveness of the reflex with its natural sequence and timing is interrupted and the result is a less efficient core that is more susceptible to injury. Since most of us do not have high-tech equipment and EMG to check the core musculature for its efficiency in demonstrating perfect sequence and timing, we must approach training from a different aspect. If we can establish that there is minimal reason for the core to compensate, then we can assume that the appropriate amount of training will produce the desired result with respect to core stabilization and core strength.

• Screening fundamental movements will demonstrate significant limitations and asymmetries, and will also help to narrow the focus of problem areas within the human body. This will open the door to more involved assessment and evaluation practices that can produce effective exercise techniques that refine mobility and stability, as well as rehabilitation strategies that will reduce asymmetries and limitations.

• Once adequate mobility has been demonstrated and the need for compensation has been reduced, it is important to understand the distinct difference between stability and strength. Many assume that doing crunches and increasing the strength of the abdominal musculature will produce a stable core. This is a simplistic approach and it fails to demonstrate the difference between stability and strength. Stability is the use of muscular timing, control and sequence to maintain a relatively stationary or stable spine in the presence of extremity movement whereas strength would demonstrate or reflect the need for movement. Doing more crunches demonstrates greater endurance and greater strength of the core but still does not guarantee that the core will stabilize in a striding or squatting movement. It is important to establish spine stabilization prior to core strengthening.

• Stabilization techniques should be grouped by functional foot position and requirements of spine stability. Good examples are the first 3-foot positions taken from the Reebok Movement Screens. They are squatting, stepping and lunging.

Squat	Hurdle Step	Lunge

The squat movement is a double leg stance that is symmetrical. The legs perform the same tasks and the same role within the same range of motion. The hurdle step is single-leg stance requiring one leg to move freely and be a mobile segment while the other leg supports the weight of the body and is a stable segment. The lunge is almost a combination of the two above positions in that both legs remain on the floor like the squat but they are in complete opposition of each other as in a stepping motion such as the hurdle step.

These very different foot positions place different demands on the core and, when combined with diagonal movements of the upper extremity, represent a complete array of functional and athletic movements that provide opportunities for appropriate stabilization. Key equipment and communicating stabilization through proprioception include slide board, medicine ball, stability ball, cable column and core board training.

Since the core functions on a reflex base, it is necessary for initial stabilization training to be at that level. This means minimizing verbal and visual input and allowing exercise to communicate to the core what is necessary. This is a science called Reactive Neuromuscular Training and can be done by exaggerating the mistake that the individual performing the exercise is currently making. By exaggerating this mistake through weight shift or reduced control, the individual exercising has a greater proprioceptive awareness of poor timing, coordination, movement sequence, posture and joint position. If done safely and effectively, this will ultimately allow the exerciser to slowly correct the problem accelerating motor learning. Once neurostabilization training has been implemented, core strengthening can be performed through isolation or functional movements.

In closing, it is extremely important that you identify and isolate the important statements within each one of these bullet point paragraphs. They build an appropriate case for core training and will help you evaluate the many protocols and exercise techniques that will be coming your way in the future as the trends of core training and neurostabilization training are popularized. No doubt, many will jump on the bandwagon of core training but few will endure the criteria laid before them. The future of our profession lies in our credibility and attention to detail. It also relies on our creativity and openness to new concepts and philosophies. I hope this article / lecture has given you food for thought and the desire to learn.

"Learn How To Eat with your stomach, not your eyes"

"Learn How To Eat with your stomach, not your eyes"

It's halfway through January and your initial enthusiasm for those fitness resolutions may be waning.
People grappling with diets often eat until their plate is clean, rather than when they feel full.

People grappling with diets often eat until their plate is clean, rather than when they feel full.

After maintaining an austere, healthy diet for a few weeks, the desire to eat a juicy cheeseburger proves too irresistible for some dieters.

"It's natural that most people when they are following a New Year's resolution or any program to change something in their life, that they will fall off the wagon or they'll have a setback or a failure," said Jillian Michaels, a personal trainer for NBC's show "The Biggest Loser."

Rather than beating yourself up after having a setback, learn from the missteps, experts say.

It's a matter of attitude, Michaels said. Learn from the setbacks and view "a failure as a point of learning, an opportunity to see what works and what doesn't."

For those grappling with diets,striving for moderation is a constant battle.

"We eat with our eyes, not out of our stomach," said Dr. Melina Jampolis, the diet and fitness expert for CNNhealth.com. "It's much more difficult to control serving sizes."

People have a tendency to keep eating until their plate is clean or the container of cookies is empty.

"A lot of people eat too much and their clothes feel tight. You shouldn't have to unbutton your pants, blouse or unzip anything after your meal," said Cheryl Forberg, the nutritionist for "The Biggest Loser." "You lose sight of your body's natural hunger cues."

To become more attuned to your body, avoid eating while standing up, sitting at the desk or inside a car, she said. Dedicate time for meals and snacks.

Rather than viewing meals as an obligatory part of the day, "learn to enjoy the process. At the same time, you begin to stop eating when you're comfortable, instead of when you have to unzip your jeans," Forberg said.

Avoid stocking problem foods like cookies or ice cream in the house if you know you can't resist them.

"When you know you have a weakness with chocolate or cookies, you probably shouldn't keep it in the house if you know you can't stop at one," she said.

One way to retrain the body is to divide snacks by portion sizes.

"Those 100-calories packs retrain people to the eye and decrease the snacking," Jampolis said. "It's more expensive and not environmentally friendly, but you're much better off getting a 100-calorie pack rather than eating out of container."

"If you're on a budget and you want to be more environmentally friendly, make your own. Every Sunday, measure 100 calories into seven Ziploc bags," she said. You can even recycle the bags.

"Are Riding Two Horses at Once Is Really Possible"

The danger of riding two horses at once is that you can easily get split in half! To ride two horses at once, not only must the rider must be skilled, but both horses must be in controlled and must be comfortable running next to each other... in tandem.

Like a horse and its rider, we all have needs that must be met if we are to maintain the wealth of health. First, we must care for our “self.” The self is our idea of who we are and our idea of our body and its needs. In essence, these needs are:

1. Optimal food
2. Optimal water
3. Optimal rest
4. Optimal movement or exercise
5. Safe shelter
6. Optimal warmth (energy)

These needs are also the needs of a business, which must be seen as a living entity if one is to be successful in the development, management and growth of any business. The same is true for those working within a business, for they either create safety and security in a business or diminish it.

If we look at these needs as they apply to a business, they convert as follows:

1. Optimal availability and use of resources
2. Optimal flow (incoming and outgoing of resources and the ability to adapt)
3. Optimal work/rest ratio to keep ownership, management and staff healthy
4. Optimal use of effort and skill within the business and marketing of the business
5. Enhanced stability within owners and employees (which creates stability of the business)
6. Consistent cash flow, working capital and revenue

Would it be a good idea to try and ride two horses, before you’ve mastered riding one?

The first horse we need to learn to ride is the horse of self. Only when we’ve achieved a level of self love and self awareness that produces a surplus of life force and internal resources are we ever likely to have what it takes to energize a business endeavor.

Anyone with experience riding horses knows that an unhealthy horse doesn’t like anyone on its back! An unhealthy horse is a dangerous horse to ride and is potentially risky to be around. It would be a mistake to hitch a sick horse to a wagon or a plow. To do so increases the likelihood of not getting the hay in before it rains, not preparing the fields for new crops, etc. Forcing a sick horse to be productive may actually kill it!

I repeatedly find myself coaching sick, tired and burned out people who own businesses and who manage staff. When I look into my clients' lives (how they manage themselves), it is obvious they don’t know how to care for the (animal) body. Yet, they work earnestly to care for and improve a second horse.

When we care for ourselves intelligently, we manage our lifestyle such that it creates inner wealth, abundant energy and a genuine sense of freedom. These are necessary qualities for success in any endeavor. A healthy body is a prerequisite for a healthy mind. No business owner, manger or employee can create a healthy business without a healthy mind! Each horse (self and business) has needs. However, it is the horse of “self” that feeds the horse of business every time. When we come to work tired, poorly fed, dehydrated, lacking sleep, rest or non essential (play) time, we are far more likely to find ourselves repelled or repulsed by people and the challenges natural to any business. This is burnout.

The horse (body) is a strong animal. Yet, managed gently by instinct and intelligence (mind), the horse responds gracefully to its rider’s cues. This is a healthy partnership. Managed poorly, the horse is pained and may throw you off (addiction, obesity and diseases)!

Now, let’s take a look at the two horses. One horse represents the horse of “self” or the female part of you. She needs the rest (moisture), energy (movement) and (self) time to create a nurturing home environment in which she may cultivate the necessary life force to feed and manage the second horse, which is the natural complement in a personal/professional relationship. The second horse represents the male part of you, which is expansive, logical, constructive, warming, divisional and self expressive. If the female (horse of self) is overworked, under rested, poorly fed, inadequately watered or lacks safety and security, she dries out, and the male (horse of self) has to over compensate in order to create balance. The rider then has a very hard time controlling and working the horses.

Likewise, when we come to work, it is our function to foster partnerships with both staff and customer. Yet, if one shows up depleted, dried out as a prune (you certainly can’t re-create a plum), things cannot flow. By the very laws of nature, dryness absorbs moisture around it. This means that a problematic paradox emerges. Those that are burned out and who should be managing and maintaining their business avoid their employees and don’t connect with their customers. They begin drawing precious, vital energy, moisture (flow) out of the business, their employees and their customers... not a sign of health, is it?

What does this look like? We have all seen it:

* Physicians who are more unhealthy than their patients.
* Teachers who resent their students.
* Firemen who can’t hold the hose or carry victims down the ladder to safety.
* Policemen too fat to run after a bad guy.
* Business owners who isolate themselves through preservation and who become unwilling and uninterested in meeting the needs of staff and customers.
* Personal rainers who look and feel worse than their clients.

In order to ride two horses at once, each horse must be healthy and feel safe with the rider. If this does not happen, any other horse is a potential threat to it’s safety, resources become limited and survival behavior leads to over investment in self (one horse sees the other as a threat to it’s own survival). A sick horse is a liability!

The rider must have mastery riding one horse before attempting to ride two horses, or disaster is inevitable. Each horse must have a common tandem objective, or the rider will become split in half! Each horse must be felt and seen as an extension of “self” and cared for as such. Anything else leads to one horse feeling abandoned, even though the other is standing right next to it. Any horse that feels deserted is unlikely to comply with the wishes or direction of the rider or the other horse. Abandonment creates a sense of absence: there but not there. Each must be groomed, cared for and treated as a unique individual. Two healthy halves equal a strong and healthy whole. You and you become one: two horses working as a functional unit sharing the load.

I encourage you to bring your horses together in harmony with clearly defined core values, goals and objectives. When we do this, we successfully ride two horses at once. One who successfully rides two horses at once enjoys more than double the satisfaction, safety and security and joy of working together in tandem. The whole is greater than the sum of it’s parts. When we ride two horses together successfully, each horse has the satisfaction and joy of companionship from the other. And we more than double our horsepower!

My dream for all of us working together is that we all ride safely in harmony with both our individual and professional goals and overcome the challenges of balancing self and business. My success is your success, and your success is my success. The world benefits greatly when we come together in love and synergy. To do this, we must cultivate our instincts, feed our intellect and ultimately nurture our relationships with self and other. The rest is natural and easy. Then we will ride two horses at once!

Function Now

Function, Food, Flexibility

Working out for Real Life Functions


Functional fitness may be among the latest buzzwords in gyms these days, but for good reason. It's about training your body to handle real-life situation

Yesterday you had a great workout at the gym. You're bench-pressing more weight than ever before, and pulling enough weight on the seated rowing machine to try out for the Olympic sculling team.

Today, you lift a 60-pound suitcase to carry it downstairs -- and throw your back out. What happened? In all likelihood, you're not paying enough attention to your functional fitness. You might be toned, tight, and ready for the beach, but are you ready to lift your toddler out of his car seat or hoist the spring-water bottle onto the dispenser?

Functional fitness and functional exercise are the latest gym buzzwords. They focus on building a body capable of doing real-life activities in real-life positions, not just lifting a certain amount of weight in an idealized posture created by a gym machine.

Making Muscles Work Together

"Conventional weight training isolates muscle groups, but it doesn't teach the muscle groups you're isolating to work with others," says Greg Roskopf, MS, a biomechanics consultant with a company called Muscle Activation Techniques who has worked with athletes from the Denver Broncos, the Denver Nuggets, and the Utah Jazz.

"The key to functional exercise is integration. It's about teaching all the muscles to work together rather than isolating them to work independently."

So what's an example of a functional exercise? Think of a bent-over row; not the kind of row you do on a seated machine, but the kind you do leaning over a bench, holding the weight in one hand with your arm hanging straight down, and then pulling the weight up as your elbow points to the ceiling, finishing with your upper arm parallel to the ground.

"That's an exercise that will build the muscles of the back, the shoulders, the arms, and because of its nature will really work your whole body," says exercise kinesiologist Paul Chek, MSS, founder of the Corrective High-performance Exercise Kinesiology Institute in California who has advised the Chicago Bulls and the U.S. Air Force Academy.

"Compare that motion to a carpenter bending over a piece of wood, a nurse bending over a bed to transfer a patient, or an auto mechanic bending over to adjust your carburetor. Anyone doing a bent-over row will find a carryover in things you do in normal life."

Contrast that with the seated row: You're sitting in a chair with your chest pressed against pads, and you pull two levers back. "You may be strengthening certain muscles, but your body's not learning anything, because you don't have to activate your core stabilizer muscles or the stabilizers of your arms and shoulders. The machine's doing it for you," says Chek.

"In functional fitness, most of the time, you should be standing on your own two feet and supporting your own weight when you lift anything."

"How To Train Teens Through Exercise & Eating"

With the increasing concern of rising obesity levels, more and more attention is being turned to encourage young people to become physically active. Here, we look at the differences in physiological response to exercise between young people and adults.

Many adolescents already take part in physical activity or sport regularly, and are already reaping the benefits of being physically fit at a young age. Such benefits include:

• An increase in bone density
• Increased likelihood of participation to continue into adulthood
• Having a lower incidence of injuries
• Weight management
• Improvement in asthma symptoms and cholesterol levels
• Being physically fit enables an athlete to maximize their potential in sport

With greater numbers participating in more than one sport and taking part in competitions frequently, of concern to many fitness professionals, parents and youngsters alike is the amount of training young people of this age are undertaking. We all know their bodies are undergoing rapid change, and consequently we need to be particularly cautious about ever increasing intensities in sports competitions. A number of different factors need to be taken into account before any training program is designed for these athletes and below are a few helpful pointers to guide fitness professionals in the right direction.

Exercise and Growth

Boys and girls have different growth spurts whereby girls undergo their adolescent growth spurt and peak velocity height about two years earlier than boys. However, boys experience longer growth spurts that are more intense than girls2 and they tend to overtake the growth period of females during this life stage. Training therefore needs to take into consideration these differences and fitness professionals need to ensure that individual recognition takes place where no child is undertaking a program too strenuous or intense for their physical development.

Energy and Fluid Needs

Although there is mounting evidence among adults that daily energy requirements are related to total amount of training, there is a limited amount of information in this area for children participating in specific sports. Of the available research, when energy cost is calculated per kg body mass, walking or running at any given speed is significantly greater in children than in adolescents and adults, and this relative cost is higher the younger the child. For example, a seven-year-old child who is walking or running at the same speed as a young adult would need as much as 25 to 30 percent more energy per kg body mass.3 As a result of their greater energy needs while performing physical activities, children also produce more metabolic heat per unit body mass than adults. Consequently, fluid intake must reflect such production and as core body temperature during dehydration increases faster in children than in adults,4 it is vital for coaches and trainers to try to prevent dehydration in child athletes. An ideal approach is to introduce fluid breaks every 15 to 20 minutes during prolonged activities.

Cardiovascular Responses

Sub-maximal cardiovascular responses are different between children and adults, with children tending to work at a higher
heart rate at sub-maximal levels of exercise. Children have smaller hearts and less total muscle volume than adults and therefore any such cardiovascular training should account for such differences. Oxygen extraction by the tissues (a-VO2 diff) also tends to be slightly larger in children than in adults, so it is important to remember that if exercising on hot days, children's core body temperature will increase more rapidly. Ensuring children are fully hydrated will help reduce the negative effects of such increases.

Aerobic Power

After the age of 14, girls' aerobic power can be as much as 15 percent less than boys. However, the effect of endurance training programs on VO2 max on both genders has proved inconclusive.2 This may be due to other growth factors playing a more significant role, such as greater musculature or larger levers, which dominate the effectiveness of aerobic activities.

Anaerobic Power

As expressed per kg of bodyweight, anaerobic capacity is much lower in children than adults and increases progressively with age in both boys and girls. It is important therefore to be aware of the intensity of exercise regimes, as it is not the duration but the intensity of exercise that could lead to more harm. Appropriate activities would include long-distance runs instead of vigorous short sprints, as these may also aid in meeting appropriate body composition requirements.

Strength

After the adolescent growth spurt, muscle development is influenced by hormones and, since testosterone production is greater among males, they will become stronger and faster than females. For such boys, however, it is important to not put too much strain on the body. Two times per week has been proven to ensure significant changes, compared to more frequent sessions where no further improvement was found.3 Activities should be based on individual bodyweight and restrictive weight exercises on machines should be avoided.4 Below are a few recommendations of how to incorporate strength training into young athletes’ regimes. The exercises should be progressive: starting at one and, as the adolescent develops, moving them up through to five.

1. Obstacle courses: rope pulling, climbing
2. Vertical strength: standing push-ups, hanging exercises
3. Bodyweight exercises and medicine ball-based activities/throws
4. Horizontal strength: push-ups, pull-ups
5. Single leg squats, step-ups, dumbbells and barbell exercises

Skill Development

All sports, no matter what discipline, require a high level of skill in order to excel. However, specialized training too early on in adolescence can actually have more of a negative than positive effect. Movement skills such as balance, agility and coordination which would usually be developed as part of a broader based program become neglected and as a result can leave the young athlete with little competency outside the speciality.

Peak Velocity Height (PVH)

Sports scientists believe that it can take up to 12 years of training for a young talented athlete to reach elite status. The use of athletic models to develop these athletes has been successful in recent years. However, due to differences in physical, cognitive and emotional development, research states that age is not a good indicator on which to base athletic development models for athletes between the ages of 10 to 16. Instead, the onset of peak velocity height (PVH) is recommended, which is the point where a child reaches their maximum growth rate. This is affected by genetic and environmental factors (climate, cultural and social) and can be an advantageous reference point for training program design. PVH for girls is usually around age 12 and for boys, age 14. By taking basic measurements (standing height and sitting height), PHV can be observed and specific training programs can be designed to match the child's development.

Recommended Activities

Much debate has surrounded the question of whether young sportspersons should specialize in particular sports at an early age. Current evidence suggests that adolescents should participate in activities that develop overall capacities rather than specialized programs. Furthermore, research has found that when development of strength, power and flexibility is undertaken gradually, higher levels are achieved and the maintenance of such factors remain for longer periods of time. Since growth rates of male and female adolescents vary considerably, it is important that a comparison between athletes is avoided. Certain individuals will improve rapidly on some exercises, while others who have not gone through a particular growth phase will often lag behind. On a personal level, young athletes may also feel confined to the realms of one sport if they specialize too early, which may have a negative effect on participation levels. By experiencing a range of activities and training programs, the young person is more likely to develop a range of athletic abilities, which will increase their options to specialize later on.

"Finally! How To Eat Stop Exercise"

Scientific Research Proves That Eat Stop Exercise Will Help You Lose Weight, Burn Stubborn Body Fat, and Naturally Boost Growth Hormone - All While Preserving Your Lean Muscle and Metabolism


Discover why one simple change to the way you eat and exercise will make you forget about every other super-complicated weight loss, diet, and exercise program


"This Article will question everything you've ever been told about eating and exercising for body fat loss. Natalie's FREE Article turns the industry upside down and shows you how to eat normally, while making one slight, easy change that could be the missing link in your body fat loss, exercise, and nutrition program."


Are you ready to improve your body, your health and your life?

Then Let's Get Going...

Dear friend,

If you’ve found this site then you are probably looking for a great weight loss and body fat burning program and may have already heard about Eat Stop Exercise. Most likely, you’ve read about Eat Stop Exercise somewhere on the internet and are curious about what this Report and E-book is all about and who wrote it.

Well let me be right up front with you, My name is Natalie Pyles and I wrote Eat Stop Exercise to help people understand the amazing weight loss and exercise results they can get by using a simple combination of flexible periods of intermittent fasting and weight training.

Now, I know what you are thinking, ‘Did he just say fasting?’. Yes, Fasting. But, before you read any further, let me assure you, with Eat Stop Exercise, your metabolism will not slow down, you will not lose muscle, your workouts will not suffer, and you will not become a ravenous eating machine.

You will simply lose weight, quicker and easier than ever before.

I understand this may seem a little confusing, after all everyone has heard of things like ‘starvation mode’, and the benefits of eating multiple small meals during the day.

So how can so many people be raving about the Eat Stop Exercise program if it involves short periods of intermittent fasting? Wouldn’t they all just go into starvation mode and stop losing weight?

In reality, many of these so called “diet and exercise truths” are actually incorrect. They are all based on the principle that you must keep eating to lose weight. This idea has never made any sense to me, yet the diet industry keeps on trying to convince you that in order to lose weight you must keep eating!

There are literally billions of dollars being spent every year on weight loss, diet, and exercise books It seems like a new book comes out everyday telling you what you need to eat and how to exercise to start losing weight.

I’ll be the first to admit that many of these programs will work, at least for the first month or two (as long as you are restricting your calories and constantly exercising), but none of them can promise long-lasting weight loss. They are simply too restrictive, too complicated and let’s face it, some of these diets can consume your life. You can spend your entire day planning and preparing your meals!

Trust me, if you want to lose weight this sort of obsessive compulsive eating is simply not needed. Eat Stop Exercise outlines the real reasons behind why people are successful at losing weight and burning body fat without following some ridiculously difficult weight loss and exercise program.

In fact, I created Eat Stop Exercise to be an "ANTI-DIET" for people that are sick and tired of trying to measure out and eat 6 small meals per day. If you are frustrated and overwhelmed by trying to follow the rules of "bodybuilder style nutrition", then Eat Stop Exercise is for you.



Did you know?
~Short-term fasting does not decrease fat burning enzymes. In fact, scientific research Clearly shows that the exact opposite happens - Short-term Fasting increases the activity of fat burning enzymes.~




You see, I have spent my life studying nutrition, exercise, and weight loss, and I have taken a very unusual path that ultimately led me to writing Eat Stop Exercise.

For starters, I have an honors degree in nutrition sciences and nursing. So I understand the classic academic approach to how we should eat. I spent four years of university studying all of the typical ‘eat less calories than you burn’ type of stuff you need to know to become a dietitian.

Now here’s were it gets interesting, right after university, instead of becoming a naturopathec doctor, I started working in the weight loss industry. From managing & Owning 2 very successful sports nutrition stores to consulting start up companies, manufacturers and top fitness companies, I have seen the inner working of the industry that only a privileged few have ever seen.

Sure, a lot of people like to talk about supplements, but how many have actually helped design some of the most popular products on the market? You can talk all you want, but until you have actually worked on the inside, you really have no idea how the weight loss and supplement industry works.

During my time in the industry part of my responsibilities included traveling the world learning about potential cures for obesity (weight loss supplements are big money, so the first company to come out with a new ingredient that actually worked would be making billions).

From China, Germany, Scotland, England and all over North America, I have had the privilege of meeting some of the world’s greatest minds in nutrition, exercise and weight loss.

Not only have I been lucky enough to travel the world but I have also had unlimited access to state of the art exercise physiology equipment, the kind of equipment that would make many University laboratories green with envy.

With this equipment I was able to conduct multiple body composition tests on numerous athletes and top level bodybuilders and monitor them while they dieted and tried new experimental weight loss programs.

We’re talking cutting edge stuff.

In fact, it was these experiments that ultimately led me to leave the industry and pursue graduate studies in human biology and nutritional sciences.

Many of the experiments I conducted had results that were VERY different from what I expected, and I soon realized that if I were to truly understand nutrition’s role in weight loss, then I would have to start from the very beginning and study what happens to the body when it goes without ANY food.

Believe it or not, Eat Stop Exercise is actually all the research from the scientific reviews I completed in top notch schooling.

That’s right, my research was on ‘The Metabolic Effects of Short Periods of Fasting in Humans and its Potential Application in Weight Loss’, so in essence when you read Eat Stop Exercise what you are really reading is an easy to read version of my experience and education!

I paid over 10,000 dollars to gain this information, and now you are getting it for 333 times less than what I paid!

Aside from being a nutrition and exercise professional, I am also an athlete. I have competed in (and won) NPC Fitness contests and played all types of competitive sports.

In fact, I have been a weight room junkie my whole life. If I believed that Eat Stop Exercise caused you to lose even an ounce of muscle, I would never have published it.

As you can see, my background is pretty unique. How many other people are there in the world, who have worked in research and development for the weight loss supplement industry for almost a decade, left that industry to study the metabolic effects of short periods of fasting, and who are avid weight trainers, and then decided to share this information in the form of a book?

I may very well be the only person in the world with this type of experience, and it is this experience that makes Eat Stop Exercise so unique, and so unlike any other nutrition and exercise book in existence.

Eat Stop Exercise is not about eating certain amounts of food in certain food groups, nor does it push any special ‘rules’ on you about what you can and can’t eat and when and why to exercise. What it does show you is the simplest, easiest way to lose weight with the combination, and all of the science facts that support it.

And here are some of the great benefits that Eat Stop Exercise can offer you:



You don’t have to worry about food all day. Eating every three hours, cycling your protein and your carbs, measuring your glycemic index, I don’t think any of these things are needed for solid long lasting weight loss. With Eat Stop Exercise you can forget about all of these obsessive compulsive eating & exercise habits.

Your metabolism will not slow down and you will not go into “starvation mode”. With Eat Stop Exercise you will clearly see the research behind why short periods of fasting will NEVER cause you to go into starvation mode. Your metabolism will stay just as high as it ever was (In fact, some research suggests it may even go higher!)

You will not get light-headed and cranky! In actuality its a myth that not eating causes you to become cranky or light headed. From my experience it is actually a mental 'addiction' addiction to eating that makes most people get cranky when they don't eat. Eat Stop Exercise can help you to break the 'food addiction' that causes this reaction.

You don’t have to avoid going to restaurants with your friends. Eat Stop Exercise is flexible. Spending months hiding from your friends because you are on a restrictive diet is a thing of the past. Now you can enjoy the freedom to live normally (and still lose weight through exercise and sensible eating) with Eat Stop Exercise.

You will save money. Eat Stop Exercise won’t ask you to start drinking goat milk or rice milk or any other expensive food that you really don’t like. With Eat Stop Exercise you will learn why you don’t have to spend any extra money on “special foods, diet pills, and exercise”.

You will boost your body fat burning hormones. With Eat Stop Exercise you will reap the benefits of naturally increasing the exact same hormones that celebrities are paying thousands of dollars for in an attempt to stay lean, muscular and young looking.

You will not have to take any weird supplements or eat special foods. Let’s face it. A good nutrition and exercise program should not ever have to rely on supplements to help you lose weight.

You will still have great workouts. Think not eating for a couple hours is going to ruin your workout? Think again. You can still have amazing body fat burning and muscle building workouts while following Eat Stop Exercise.

You will not lose ANY of your hard earned muscle. Eat Stop Exercise will show you the scientific facts behind why a lot of what you are told about dieting and muscle loss is nothing more than diet industry scare tactics.

You will lose weight, and this weight will be all body fat. With the Eat Stop Exercise program, weight loss is steady and consistent, and the weight you will lose will be body fat.

You don’t have to avoid carbs, or fats. Forget about eating canned tuna and low fat cottage cheese for days on end, and Eat Stop Exercise was designed to work in the real world, so that people can eat real foods.

You don’t have to eat mega-doses of protein every day. Do you think you need to eat 50 grams of protein every 2-3 hours so you can gain muscle mass. Think again. With Eat Stop Exercise you’ll learn the real truth behind muscle mass and dieting. Goodbye expensive gross protein shakes.

You will not have to take any weird cleansing products or laxatives. Eat Stop Exercise is an advanced intermittent fasting program that is based on real world science. There are no weird potions or laxatives involved.

You can follow the diet you like best. With Eat Stop Exercise you can follow any style of eating you like, after all, Eat Stop Exercise doesn’t tell you what you can and can’t eat, that’s all up to you.

You will be productive. With Eat Stop Exercise, you won’t go into a super low productive funk like what happens with some traditional diets. In fact, many people have told me that they are their absolute most productive on their fasting days!

You will have energy. With Eat Stop Exercise you will not feel tired, cranky or lethargic. In fact, I'm guessing you will feel energized and alert.

And most importantly, you will not waste any of your precious time!

Unlike other diet e-books Eat Stop Exercise is not complicated, and it is not hard to understand. It is not full of filler, it is not 300 pages long and it is not 10 pages of diet advice and 200 pages of recipes. What Eat Stop Exercise does have is a simple and effective way to lose body fat that is easier than anything you have ever tried before!

Try it You won't be sorry!

Who Else Wants A Red Hot Body?

5 Ways To Cause Action And Results Through Weight Training
And How To Burn More Body Fat
You think cardio burns more fat? Think again!

Forwarded By, Natalie Pyles

How many times have YOU seen it?

You walk into a gym and you see hundreds of cardio machines. New machines every week, so it seems. You see the "cardio bunnies" on these devices that peddle, walk and stair-climb you to nowhere. Men, women, even kids.

Every single one of these folks wanting the same thing as you: To burn off unwanted body fat.

If you pay attention, you also notice that very few of these hard-working gym-goers ever change their body! They look the same week after week, year after year.

There's 5 key reasons for this, but the main reason is simply this: Cardio does not burn fat nearly as fast or as efficiently as weight training!

If you do not believe me, you will after you read this article. Here we go....

Fact 1:
Weight training done correctly reduces dangerous belly fat faster than cardio.

Weight training done at a rapid pace with sufficient resistance releases a tremendous amount of fatty acids into the bloodstream and decreases insulin resistance. Both cardio and weights get this job done equally well... BUT weight training increases lean body mass which has a direct effect on reversing insulin disorders. (Cuff et. al, 2003) The area most affected is called truncal obesity—or "ugly belly fat" for the rest of us. Yes... weight training reduces belly fat (when done correctly) faster than cardio. And lets face it: Most of us want a better midsection. It's not only sexier, it's more healthy too.

Fact 2:
Weight training releases free fatty acids that can be used up by moderate cardio AFTER the session.

Want to burn a lot more body fat? Weight train the way I suggest on the next page... then hit some moderate cardio. Burn off those fatty acids that weight training releases. Those fatty acids mostly come from your belly fat, arm fat, thighs, butt... all the places you love to hate. Do it the way I suggest on the following page and you can burn that fat off faster than ever.

Fact 3:
Weight training produces a by-product that burns fat.

You know that burning feeling you experience when you lift weights? It is caused by lactic acid. Weight training produces about 300% more lactic acid than cardio training for obvious reasons—you are using more muscle. If you Google the subject you'll find MOST trainers telling you to avoid lactic acid build-up by training with "light weights". Nonsense! Lactic acid has now been linked to the most powerful fat-burning hormone there is: hGH. The American Society of Exercise Physiologists reported that increased lactic acid was linked to increased natural production of fat-burning hGH. If you train the way I suggest on the following page you'll get just enough lactic acid release to do the trick.

Email:


Fact 4:
Weight training increases all key metabolic hormones.

From hGH to testosterone to leptin to thyroid—all are increased naturally through resistance training. Cardio exercise cannot even begin to compete with the hormonal changes weight training can give you. Part of this is due to the explosive nature of resistance training. The method of weight training I recommend is safe, great for fat loss and shaping the body, and works for both men and women. And it is explosive. That triggers the hormones we want to melt off that body fat and literally turn back your biological clock 10, 15 even 20 years.

Fact 5:
Weight training gives you the BODY you want, not just the condition you want.

Do you want better arms? A tight waistline? A better butt? How about a nicer chest, a shapely back, and great calves? Well say good-bye to a "cardio-only" approach to exercise. Cardio alone will NEVER give you the body you see in the magazines. That is the result of using weights carefully and specifically to literally sculpt your body like Michelangelo sculpted the statue of David.
