How to Lose That Holiday Weight FAST!

Lets face it all of us will more often than not gain some unwanted weight over the holidays. For some it’s a few pounds for others it’s a lot more. The holiday period is a time of celebration, of giving and receiving, of being grateful, spending time with family and friends and all of this socialising, entertaining and partying usually involves quite a bit of over indulging.

Hey, you deserve it. You work hard all year long and who can blame you with the temptation of alcohol, holiday treats and sweets everywhere you look. Overeating is almost traditional for most people this time of year. Then comes January when everyone has made those resolutions to get into the best shape or to at least lose the extra holiday weight that they gained.

In this article I’m going to show you how you can quickly and easily drop that extra weight and shed those unwanted holidays pounds that you’ve gained as quickly as possible. If your thinking this is going to involve exercise and some kind of dietary plan then you’d be right, however that is not what this article entails.

Yes starting your New Year exercise program and balancing your meals is defiantly the right thing to do and is essential to change your body long term, but that’s what everyone does and let’s face it, it doesn’t produce results as quickly as most would like. This method takes time!

So what can you do to accelerate the process, to get the ball rolling faster and to catapult your results from day one? The answer is to cleanse. Cleanse you body from all those nasty high fat and high sugar foods and toxins that they’ve left behind. Your body has been clogged up by all those holiday treats, by things that have no business being in your body in the first place, but hey they tasted good, and now it’s time to get rid of them.

In order to get things moving and start eliminating all those toxins as well as all that extra weight as quickly as possible you need to unclog things and let your body do what it was designed to do, eliminate waste. Your body has just been so overloaded in recent weeks that it needs a little bit of help from you to get things moving quicker.

So what exactly must you do to cleanse you body. Well there is a tonne of information out their on cleaning and detoxing and lot’s of different methods and rules to follow depending on who’s advice you decide to listen to, much like the countless number and variations of diets being used today.

However the fundamentals of a good cleanse remains the same, it’s all about giving your body the opportunity and the resources it needs to eliminate the waste, the toxins and the poisons that have accumulated in your body and that contributing to your weight gain.

There are three main steps to a good cleanse. 1 Stop the poisoning, which means stopping putting all that rubbish into your body. 2. Cleanse and detoxify, which means opening your bodies channels of elimination and completing a dietary cleanse of the digestive system, blood, intestines, kidneys, liver and lungs. 3. Revitalize and Regenerate, which means providing your body with all of the nutrients it really needs so it can heal and repair itself from the damage caused by those toxins and poisons and provide you with the nerve energy you need to rebuild and rejuvenate your body from the inside out.

Most of us are overfed and undernourished, and a cleanse can change that. You might be wandering how these things are going to help you to shift the unwanted weight that you gained during the holidays. Let’s answer that question by taking a closer look at the three steps to a successful cleanse.

1. Stop the poisoning.

If you stop putting the junk into your body obviously you are stopping the very cause for all that toxic build up and that unwanted weight gain. It’s simple cause and effect, if you stop what was causing the undesired effect then you stop the effect. At least any further effect, the damage has already been done but you cannot undo the damage, reverse the effects and lose the weight until you stop poisoning your body.

The reason all this toxic food and drink results in a lot of extra weight gain is not merely because of the excess calories they contain. Yes of cause by taking in more calories that your body is using or burning off will result in weight and fat gain but it’s not the only reason. When you consume all these empty calorie foods that have very little nutritional value and a lot of toxicity you are quite literally poisoning your internal system.

These toxins and poisons are like acid to your body and they get into the blood system and circulate your body. These acids are very dangerous as they can cause a great deal of damage to your internal organs and so in an attempt to protect itself your body will buffer these acids and store them in fatty tissue around the body. This is why these foods are so great at causing extra body fat stores to be produced because your body can store the toxic acidity and poisons from all the junk you’ve been shovelling down your throat and protect itself from internal damage.

2. Cleanse and Detoxify

By the use of colonic irrigation, juices and soups and stimulating the bodies lymphatic system you can clear the four channels of elimination to allow the body to dispose of the toxic waste and poisons in the body as well as building your bodies immune system through increasing the flow of the lymphatic system.

Your body has four main channels of elimination and just as a car must dispose of the carbon dioxide via it’s exhaust pipe so must your body dispose of it’s own waste products, otherwise the internal build up causes a kind of self poisoning and sickness, illness and disease manifests. The four channels of elimination are respiration or breathing, perspiration or sweating, urination or peeing and defecation or pooing. If any of the four channels are compromised then the body is unable to eliminate it’s wastes and a build up occurs. Colonic can help to reopen and clear these channels of elimination.

The other major factor to cleaning is stimulating the lymphatic system. Your lymphatic system is like the sewage system to your body, it carries and transports the waste products from your body and takes them to one of the four channels for elimination. If your lymphatic system was to shut down you would die within 24 hours.

There is 3 times as much lymph fluid in your body as there is blood. The trouble is that while your blood has the heart to pump it round the body the lymphatic system as no pump and it depends solely on movement of the body to keep it effectively flowing. Muscle contractions and deep diaphragmic breathes stimulate the flow of the lymphatic system more than anything else which is why exercise is essential to optimal health, proper immune function and also the elimination of waste and toxins which means there is less poison left in the body to be stored in body fat.

3. Revitalize & Regenerate

You’ve stopped the poisoning, you’ve opened the channels of elimination, it’s now time to provide your body with all the nutrients it needs to replenish, recover and repair after being put under so much pressure during the holiday season.

It’s time to nourish the body and feed it all the essential nutrients it needs without all the excess empty calories.

This is best achieved through the use of fruit and vegetable juices and soups along with the supplementation of Essentail Fatty Acids. This provides the body with everything it needs but without taxing and putting strain on the digestive system.

There are many books and online resources available for juices and soup recipes ideal for cleansing and detoxing.

If you follow these 3 steps of intelligent cleansing then you will be successful and losing any holiday weight you might have gained quickly and easily and then you can embark on and participate in a well planned exercise program and balanced healthy eating plan to support your weight loss and physical goals on a more long term and ongoing basis.

Use the power of cleansing to give your New Year goals a kick start by transforming your health and your body from the inside out and shed any unwanted holiday weight in record time and keep it off for good!

The Body Of Your Dreams

2009-12-08T03:20:00.000-08:00

Do you dream about having your ideal body? Do you imagine in your mind how you would like to look and feel? Do you have a desire to change your current body shape and achieve the look of your dreams?

If the answer is yes then you are in the right place. You have found your way here, one way or another, through your desire to change the physical condition of your body and I am here to firstly tell you that the body of your dreams is both totally achievable for you and secondly I am here to show you how you can get it.

For more than 10 years I have devoted my life to helping others to transform their physical body after having spent many years studying, mastering and perfecting the best methods of rapid change in physical tranformation.

It does not matter whether you wish to lose weight or gain it, whether you wish to burn and shed unwanted body fat or build mountains of solid muscle tissue, or even both. Whether you wish to get a lean set of rock hard abs or want to be able to fit into a certain dress size, all these things and more are within your reach and it would be my pleasure to show you how!

Regardless of age, race, gender, nationality, experience or fitness level, whether you are an experienced veteran of exercise or a complete and utter novice or beginner it matters not where you start from, the body of your dreams can be yours.

It all starts in the mind. You need to be taught how to take the imaginary, the image of your dream body from your head and bring it into and make it a reality. Whether you believe that to be possible or not right now does not matter because I will prove it to you.

The process of physical tranformation and the manifestation of the body of your dreams all begins in your mind. Your ability to visualise and see exactly how you would like your body to look and feel is the first step. You must create a vision, a crystal clear picture in your mind, one that excites you and compels you to action.

Then the second step of course is to get a plan. A proven plan of action, a system for success and a strategy that will guarantee you the results that you desire. A good quality trainer or coach can be invaluable for this very reason because they know what works and what doesn't, they how to get results and they have distinctions that can save time and energy and accelerate your results even quicker and help to maximise your potential.

Then finally of course, once you have your vision and you have your plan, you must put it into action and follow through on that plan while developing the persistent mindset that will stop at nothing and not allow any obstacle, set back or adversity deter you from achieving your predetermined outcome. A winners mindset of mental toughness.

This is another thing that can be invaluable about you good quality trainer and coach, they not only help you to know what to do, they help to get you to do what you know, to put theory into practice, to follow through even when things get tough and results seem non existent.

The difference between winners and losers, between those who succeed and those who don't, between those who have their dream bodies and those who don't is simply, 1 knowing what they want and having a vision, 2 having a plan of action and 3 putting that plan into action and never giving up until they get what they want, their dream body.

Build Your Calorie Burning Bank Account

2009-12-02T06:23:00.000-08:00

Some people spend more money than they earn or more than they have go into their bank account and so they are constantly overdrawn or in debt. While others spend less than they earn and they invest what they have to increase and grow their bank balance.

Your body is similar to your bank balance. Only most people do what they should do with their money and they put in more food and more calories than they spend and so their body's soon getter gain weight and get bigger.

We need to take more of a saving and investing approach with our bank accounts and more of a spending approach with our bodies. We want our bank accounts to get fat but we want our bodies to stay slim.

Think of exercise as going shopping and your goal is to spend as much as possible, what a fun thought right, going shopping to spend as much as you possibly can?

Then what we should also attempt to do to increase the amount of calorie currency that our bodies spend is what we do with our finances, get in debt.

We quite often go shopping and buy things on credit, either on a credit card or by applying for a loan from a finance company, this means we are continuing to pay for the things we have bought a long time after we have finished the actual transaction or the actual shopping trip has finished.

This is what we must learn to do with our bodies when working out. Get our self's into a calorie debt so that we must continue paying for the expended energy with calories and stored fat for a long time after our workouts have ended. We must pay for our exercise using our bodies credit and finance system.

We can do this by exercising in such a way that we take our metabolic rates to such a height that it continues to burn additional calories for hours and hours afterwards, and often all day every day, 24/7 when done correctly. This is like paying one lump some down on a purchase and then continuing to pay in instalments once you have left the shop. Just as this eats into your bank balance by working out in this way it will continue to eat into your fat stores even after you have left the gym.

Just as your spending habits can leave you paying for things 24/7 and your bank balance can be shrinking even while you sleep so can you eating and exercise habits leave your body burning additional calories and fat 24/7, even while you sleep.

To learn the absolute best way to invest your time and energy for maximum returns and compounded interest on your fat burning efforts go to www.BodyByAdam.co.uk where you can order a 5 Day Video Course on boosting metabolism absolutely free.

Rev The Metabolism Engines!

2009-11-30T03:05:00.001-08:00

If you want to put the pedal to the metal and get where you want to go faster than ever before then you are going to need to learn how to get your engines firing on all cylinders and rev things up so that you can gain some real speed and momentum in your weight and fat loss efforts.

It's time to learn how to get your engine not only warmed up and rev'd up but also how to keep it ticking over and burning more fuel even when your not driving... (hope all the metaphors make sense ha)

Just imagine for a moment that you drove your car at a nice steady pace and speed from your home to your place of work. Accelerating and breaking slowly and there was no other cars or traffic on the road, no junctions to stop at, no traffic lights or stop signs and you had a straight clear path, a smooth ride all the way to work. This would be the equivalent of most peoples cardiovascular exercise and while your would burn some fuel doing this it would be a very economical ride and wouldn't use a great deal of petrol.

Now imagine that you drive the exact same journey. Only this time you drive as fast as you can and accelerate as quickly as possible for about a mile at a time before having to suddenly slow right down and sometimes stop at junctions, red lights, stop signed and pedestrian crossings before speeding back up again. Also this time you were treating it like a race and you were timing yourself to see how quickly you could get to work. This would be the equivalent of performing cardiovascualr intervals and you would certainly burn an awful lot more fuel and petrol driving in this way.

No when it comes to driving our cars most of us want to drive a little more economical, to save fuel and money and be kinder to the environment. But when it comes to our bodies we want to burn as much energy, as many calories and as much body fat as possible and cardiovascualr interval training is the best way to do that.

Not only does this powerful and effective method mean you burn more fuel (calories) in less time but you also elevate and raise your metabolic rate to such a height that it continues to burn additional fuel and energy (calories) for hours and hours after you have finished and are back to going about your daily tasks, whatever they might be.

That is the awesome potential power of interval training and when it is structured and applied properly using very specific methods and following the principle of progression than it becomes one of the most powerful and effective fat burning strategies that exists.

Eat Fat to Lose Fat!

2009-11-25T04:52:00.000-08:00

Hi guys

Today I'm going to quickly share with you one of the key fundamentals to fat loss that so many people fail to recognise and practice and that is how to eat fat to lose fat.

In today's image conscious society and a population of people plagued with health problems and weight issues we are constantly advised and bombarded with messages from the media and from food companies trying market us their products that we should avoid fat at all cost, that we should eliminate it where ever possible from out diets and eat low fat foods.

While there is some truth in the fact that many of us do consume to many of the wrong or bad fats it is certainly not naturally or good advice to eat a low fat diet and especially poor advice to eliminate fat entirely as this does in fat course more healthy problems and weight issues!

We should eat foods that are naturally low in fat yes and higher in fibre however our bodies need fat, it is essential to the proper functioning of our internal systems. The right kind of fats that is. EFA's or Essential Fatty acids are such an essential requirment for optimal health, proper immune function and the development of every cell and organ in our body that by consuming a diet that is low in fat and void of the EFA's do course many of the major health and weight issues that we so commonly see today.

increased and improved energy, immunity, growth, development, hormone production and balance, repair and performance are just some of the many benefits of EFA's in ones diet. And if those things aren't enough to motivate or inspire you to include the right Fats in your diet then how about the fact that diets low or void of Fat altogether usually lead to overeating, blood sugar imbalances, and sugar addictions which of course all lead to weight gain!

Yes by reducing fat from your diet you will initially save on a few calories but an ultra low caloire diet is NOT the way to lose weight and fat long term. Plus although you may save on those calories from the fat content you will more than likely overeat as fat is satisfying to eat, tells your brain you are full and reduces appetite. Those who avoid fat altogether often become sugar addicted and eat sweet high glycemic foods which let me tell you are the most fattening foods around. Sugar turns to fat in the body when not burnt immediately. Sugar is a much greater contributor to weight and fat gain than fat itself.

Our ancestors and grandparents never worried about fat in their diets and hardly anyone was overweight, fat or obese at the turn of the 20th century, but they didn't consume as much sugar either, and they were much more physically active as well.

The science and benefits of proper healthy fat intake is much more than we have time to go into in this short article but just know this, if you want to burn fat then you should consume it, the right kinds of course.

To learn more about what fats to include more of and how to use this principle in combination with many others to maximise you fat loss efforts for free then go to www.BodyByAdam.co.uk.

5 Ways to Increase Your Metabolism Fast!

2009-11-23T02:46:00.001-08:00

In this short article I am going to share with you 5 of the best ways you can speed up and increase your metabolism. These are 5 things which you can start to do immediately that will impact and accelerate your metabolic rate from the moment you start.

There is a certain degree of power in each of these 5 things that you can do individually but the real potential power lies in the integrated affects of all 5 combined. Each step alone done can and will have a small impact on your metabolic rate but in order to increase the overall speed of your metabolism on an ongoing basis you need to apply and follow these techniques on a regular, frequent and consistent basis.

There is an accumulating and compounding affect that these 5 things will have on your metabolism when applied with consistency. With that all said let’s identify what these 5 ways of increasing your metabolism are…

1. Drink More Water
2. Eat More Frequently
3. Eat More Lean Protein
4. Use Interval Training
5. Increase Lean Muscle Tissue

Let’s take a closer look at each of these 5 and see why they work so well.

Firstly it goes without saying and yet so many people fail to do it, you must drink an adequate amount of clean fresh water throughout the day to keep your body properly hydrated. Your body is over 70% water, every organ and every cell requires water to function properly and without it, performance drops, everything slows down, including your metabolism.

Secondly by eating more frequently you are keeping your metabolism elevated and stimulated throughout the day. Eating and digesting requires energy, a lot of energy, and every time you eat something, particularly the right foods, you are kick-starting your metabolism and getting your engines firing. It costs energy and calories to digest, assimilate and eliminate food and so by eating little and often your body burns a greater amount of energy and calories over the course of a day.

Thirdly you by consuming healthy sources of lean protein you also put your bodies energy by system to work as protein is more difficult to break down and digest and therefore you are putting an even greater demand on your system which requires even more energy and calories. Think of protein as like eating a knot that your body must unravel and untie before it can digest and use it, this requires more energy and an increase in metabolism.

Fourthly you must exercise of course. You can not effectively increase, stimulate and elevate your metabolic rate with some kind of physical activity. But not all exercise is created equal. There are certain way of structuring your exercise sessions to yield a far greater result and return of your invested time and effort. One of those ways is through interval training. Your body is an extremely adaptive machine and if you continue to follow the same routine with the same intensities for too long your body will stop responding. Interval training takes this into consideration and works to give your body a shock or a jolt which places extra, often unexpected, demand on your body which again demands an increase in energy and calorie expenditure, resulting in an elevated and increased metabolic rate.

And finally the other kind of activity which will yield you a greater return on your invested time and effort are those activities which work to increase your bodies lean muscle tissue. You see muscles burn calories and they burn fat, even while at rest. Your muscles are the most metabolically active tissue in the body and therefore they are responsible for and contribute to your overall metabolic rate more than any other single factor. Muscle tissue requires energy and calories simply to maintain themselves.

There you go, there are 5 simple things you can do that will work to increase you metabolism almost immediately. If you start to apply each of these step one by one and combine all 5 over the next week and continue to apply them consistently over the next month you will increase your metabolism exponentially. You will then see your body change before your eyes and you will want to continue to take these 5 steps even further.

We have merely scratched the surface here on each of these 5 ways to increase your metabolism and all the ways to change you transform your body. If you would like more details then go to www.BodyByAdam.co.uk and sign up for a Free 5 Day Video Course on Boosting Metabolism.

The Number 1 Rule to Follow For Maximum Weight/Fat Loss

2009-11-20T05:20:00.001-08:00

In this article I am going to share with you the number one rule for maximum weight and fat loss plus some very specific techniques for putting this rule into practice for maximum long term results.

This one rule can be considered the Golden Rule of weight and fat loss because no other principle, technique or strategy will work without its consistent application. It is so essential and so critical that no diet, no weight loss program and no exercise regime can succeed without it. Having said that there are also some very specific parameters that must be followed in order to make this number one rule effective and productive long term because so many people think they know this rule and try to apply it and fail to see the results they desire.

This rule is not glamorous or sexy, nor is it complex or overly sophisticated which is unfortunately why so many fail to commit to it long term. Many people believe that if something is overly simplistic and easy then it cannot work, it cannot produce results. And this limiting belief is quite often what keeps people from their goals and their dreams because the truth is that quite often the system and strategies for success are quite simple, they difficult bit is taking consistent action and applying them long term.

With that said let’s get right in to it. The number one rule for maximum weight and fat loss is called “the calorie balance”. The calorie balance is simply this, in order to lose weight and reduce body fat you must create and consistent calorie deficit, meaning you must take in and consume less calories than you burn or use. Or said another way you must burn off and use more calories than your consume and take in.

Simple right? Well yes it is but there is so much more to it than that. To some this up you could simply say just eat less and do more but this is misconceived and achieved in a very ineffective way by most people who employ a poor strategy and simply don’t eat. They go for hours and hours without eating, basically starving themselves, and while this will of course create a calorie deficit it also causes many things to happen within the body which does not support effective long term weight and fat loss.

Lowered metabolic rate, drops and spikes in blood sugar, hormonal imbalances and food cravings are just some of the negative consequences of using this poor strategy for weight and fat loss and is why traditional conventional diets do not work. These things will eventually contribute to a greater amount of weight and fat gain, the very opposite to what you want to achieve.

That is why it is essential that you employ and utilise the proper strategy for maximum weight and fat loss using the golden rule of the calorie balance. You must first and for most tip the scales in your favour by consuming less and burning more, however this should not be achieved simply by starving the body.

By applying the following techniques you can and will manage your calorie intake and eat less while burning more and set your body up to lose more weight and burn more fat.

1. Eat smaller more frequent meals.

I could write an entire chapter on this one technique alone. The benefits of eating smaller more frequent meals are endless. The main of which is an elevated and boosted metabolism that will result in a greater calorie expenditure throughout the course of the day. You should divide your normal calorie intake, or food intake, into 5-6 evenly sized meals that you then consume at regular intervals throughout the day, between every 2-3 hours. I cannot emphasize and recommend this technique enough for maximum weight and fat loss!

2. Chew Your Food

The majority of us are in such a rush that we fail to chew our food properly which results in us over eating and consuming too much food and too many calories at each sitting for our bodies to deal with or burn off. It’s more than we need and so the excess is stored as fat. Overeating is common when individuals try to go for hours without eating and blood sugar levels begin to drop. Portion control is an essential step in the weight and fat loss battle. It can take up to 20 minutes for the hormone leptin to reach our brains and tell us we are full. Chewing your food properly and taking your time to eat more slowly allows for proper digestions and for us to recognise more easily when we have eaten enough.

3. Drink ad equates amounts of water

I would have to say this is something that so few people do. Even with my constant recommendations and effort to try to hold people to a higher standard I would estimate that 80% of my private clients still fail to consume an adequate supply of water throughout the day. Our bodies are around 80% water and we every single cell in our body requires water to function properly. Chronic dehydration is a major contributor to many illness and disease but also causes people to over eat as many misinterpreted thirst for hunger simply because they are so out of tune with their bodies. If you are dehydrated then you will not be able to function or perform at any where near your optimal level and will there fore never get close to your ability to lose weight and burn fat effectively. Your results will be greatly limited. Next time you find your self craving some kind of food that you know does not support you in your weight and fat loss goals, try drinking a glass of water first and then see how you feel. This one technique is so underused and underrated which is why so many people struggle with their weight.

Ok , now why these are just the tip of the ice berg this techniques and tips alone are enough to get you started and to get results with golden rule number one “the calorie balance”. Be committed and consistent with these three steps and get regular vigorous exercise at least 3 times per week and you will without a doubt lose weight and burn fat quickly.

Belief Comes Before Weight/Fat Loss!

2009-11-16T06:12:00.000-08:00

You’ve all heard the phrase before that says “Whether you believe you can or you cannot you’re right”. Well in this article I am going to not only show you how this is so very true but also share with you how it impacts and effects your weight loss and fat loss goals.

A belief often becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. This is because if you believe you can’t do something then it will affect your attitude, your moods, your emotional and physiological states which all ultimately will affect your actions which, as the basic law of cause and effect says, will affect and determine the results you get.

If you have a desire to lose weight, lose body fat and change your physical body but you have a limiting belief about what is truly possible for you… such as, it’s my genetics to be fat, I’m too old to lose weight now, I’ve tried before and it didn’t work, then these beliefs will determine your results and set you up for failure from the start.

Why? Because if you belief that you are genetically fat, that you cannot lose weight because you are above a certain age or that because you tired and failed in the past you simply cannot do it then what level of action will you take to achieve your goals? Not very much at all, because why try so hard and put in so much effort when you know it wont really work for you. With these or any other limiting beliefs you will lack the commitment, the drive, the perseverance and the consistent action that is necessary to make your goals become a reality for you.

This is true of anything. Anyone who ever achieved anything and was able to achieve success and produce a result time and time again wasn’t lucky, they had a plan and they took action to implement that plan but before all of that, what underlines everything, was the belief that what they were trying to achieve was possible for them. Empowering beliefs about yourself, about what is possible and about your dreams, desires and goals are the starting point for attainment and achievement in anything, including healthy sustainable weight and fat loss.

Let’s take a look at some more empowering beliefs and how they impact us at an unconscious level and affect how ability to achieve our hearts desires. Roger Banister break the 4 minute mile in 1954. This is something man had been trying to do since the time of the Romans. Scientists said it just couldn’t be done and that the human body wasn’t built to run a mile in under 4 minutes, they believed it wasn’t possible and they even had scientific evidence to back up their limiting belief.

Then along come Roger Banister who trained for many years in an attempt to break the 4 minute mile. The difference between Roger Banister and everyone else was not his natural genetic ability, not his superhuman capabilities but his belief about what was possible. He believed so deeply that it was possible that he refused to give up. This one belief about what was possible drove him to continue to pursue in his endeavour when others would’ve given up and advised him to dot he same. When the time came to break the world record and run a mile in under 4 minutes, it truly was a self fulfilling prophecy because he had already achieved it time and time again in his minds eye.

The truly amazing thing was not just the fact that he had achieved some an incredible feet but even more so that the very next year over 20 other people around the world achieved the same thing breaking the 4 minute mile when no one else in history had been able to do it. What made the difference? The fact that one person, Roger Bannister, had done it proved to other people and to the world what was possible and this then become a reference point for others to adopt the same and new belief about what was possible. This new belief installed in many and affected their level of action and therefore their results.

Today college kids run the mile in under 4 minutes with relative ease but just imagine if all those years ago, when everyone believed it was not possible, that Roger Bannister didn’t adopt this empowering belief, would all these people between then and now been able to achieve such great things.

If you have a desire and a goal to lose weight and fat from your body and are finding results are not showing up then you need to ask yourself, “What do I believe about losing weight and losing fat?”. Do you have beliefs that are limiting your potential, your actions and therefore your results?

1-2-3 Fat FREE...

2009-11-13T07:05:00.000-08:00

So what do I mean when I say 1-2-3 Fat FREE? Well What I am saying is that in just 3 steps you can be well on your way to having body that is Free from fat.

Eliminating and burning unwanted body fat is as easy as 1-2-3 and I'm going to shopw you exactly how. Once you utilise and apply these 3 easy steps the rest is just mere details and while the details can and will determine both the speed and the amount of body fat you are able to torch from your body they mean nothing if you fail to follow or miss the 1-2-3 step fundamentals I amount about to share with you.

Ok, here goes.

1. Put Less In Than You Put Out

2. Put Smaller Amounts In More Frequently

3. Burn More Than You Use

Now this may not seem particularly glamorous or sexy, it may seem overly simplistic and some what boring to many but let me level with you, this is the truth guys. These are the fundamentals and people are who successful at losing body fat and creating lean physics know that fundamentals must be practised daily. I am not trying to sell you here so I am not going to repackage these steps and try to make you believe you need some fancy fat burner or supplement pill to get results, you simply need to be consistent and apply what you learn.

Successful people are able to look past and beyond what may seem simplistic. They do not necessarily have some fancy way of doing things or know any smart tricks that you don't they simply have a proven system for success and most importantly they apply what they know. They may not always know more information than you, in fact you may know more then them but what good is that knowledge if you don't use it? this 1-2-3 step process is all you need to lose fat, you just to apply it on an regular and ongoing basis!

1. Put Less In Than You Put Out

Simply means eat fewer calories than you burn off each day.

2. Put Smaller Amounts In More Frequently

Eating little and often is key to keeping metabolism high and stabilising blood sugar which is essential to fat loss.

3. Burn More Than You Use

You must burn fat you cannot just starve it so you must use the right kinds of exercise to burn the maxim amount of energy, calories and fat. The other end of the scale to step 1.

That's it!

Bodybuilders are the absolute masters at eliminating and burning maximum amount of body fat in record time and while you may have no wish to become a body builder you can certainly learn from them because they are experts at shredding pounds of unwanted fat with precision. What new research comes out with now, what dietary and nutritional experts claim to teach now as new "stuff" bodybuilders have known about for decades.

And this 1-2-3 step process is exactly what a bodybuilder will follow in order to get ready for a show or competition. For at least 12 weeks and sometimes between 16-20 weeks a bodybuilder will follow this 1-2-3 step process with consistency to shred masses amounts of fat and get super lean in record time. No one on the planet can get the crazy levels of body fat that these guys do and they can do it repeatedly time and time again at will and with precision because it is a proven system for success that works every single time regardless of age, race, gender, metabolism or genetics.

Granted they will use certain supplements to accelerate the rate and speed to which they get results but as I mentioned these are just details and mean nothing without the fundamentals. And those fundamentals lie in the simple 1-2-3 step process!

To learn more about how to really live and apply this 1-2-3 step process as well as the specific details of how to get maximum results from each of these 3 steps then go to http://www.BodyByAdam.co.uk where you can not only find out about "Fat Loss Blueprint" which is a 5 Module Home Study Course for losing the maximum amount of fat in the shortest possible time both naturally and healthily but you can also sign up for a FREE 5 Day Mini Video Course on how to boost metabolism.

Problems Are Life's Weights

2009-11-12T03:30:00.000-08:00

Hi Guys

I have recently had to go through one of the most trying and challenging things of my life so far. Without going into the details I just wanted to share with you a brief insight about life's challenges that I learnt several years ago and that is extremely relative to my current life situation. I hope that you can use it to serve you in the future when life seems to get too heavy...

The insight that I learnt and that I wanted to share with you today is that a life without problems is like a gym without any weights. Just as lifting a heavy weight in the gym can be a challenge so do I prefer to refer to problems as challenges, they always seem more approachable as a challenge and the simple change in description suggests that whatever it is, you can overcome it.

Imagine if you went to the gym and tried to workout but there were no weights. If there is no resistance then there is nothing to stimulate your body and your muscles and therefore nothing changes and nothing grows. Life's problems or challenges are the resistance we need to adapt and to grow as people. Whether it be emotionally, psychologically, intellectually, physically or spiritually (or all of these) a problem or a challenge in life is a sign that we must grow and expand who we are. Just as when weight is difficult to lift in the gym we must adapt and become stronger in order to life that weight.

And just like in the gym with that weight, once you do grow and become stronger as a person you can then take on bigger, larger and more complex challenges and anything that comes along that is equal to something you have already overcome you find you can handle with relative ease, due to your past experience and your past workouts in life.

Problems add the resistance we need to grow and life is the place where we sculpt and build our souls. So the next time something challenging comes your way, remember this insight and meet it head on with a new found perspective. Welcome it with open arms and think to yourself here is an opportunity to grow and expand who I am, let's do it.

Be grateful for the lessons that life teaches us through our challenges and our triumphs, through our problems and our blessings, the only thing that makes the difference between something good and something bad, between pain and pleasure is a person's perspective.

Train hard and smart

Keep pushing through the resistance that life offers and your will grow your emotional and spiritual muscles.

God Bless

FAT LOSS FAQ’s

2009-11-09T06:20:00.000-08:00

Today I am going to share with you some of the questions I have sent to me either through my blog or through email. I have included these questions along with their answers from myself because these are the questions that I am most commonly asked in all walks of life as a professional trainer and fat loss expert.

Whether at a party, out shopping, in gym or at an event as soon as people discover what I do these are just some of the questions I am frequently asked regarding fat loss and weight loss and I’m sure they will always be the questions on the lips of many in search of the truth about weight loss and fat loss. While I always try to keep things as simple as possible for the people I offer my answers to they are based on raw truth and honesty, fact not fiction, science and results not just theory.

1. What is Fat?

Body fat, or adipose tissue as it is scientifically known, is nothing more than stored energy. A certain amount is essential to health and proper bodily functioning and it serves a definite purpose. Health problems can arise when body fat falls too low, especially in females. However excessive amounts of body fat is not good for health nor desirable or attractive to most.

Food contains energy, which we measure in the form of calories, and when we consume more energy or calories than our body requires or needs the excess must be stored somewhere for later use. The result is increased levels of body fat, or stored energy.

2. What Foods Are Fattening?

All foods are fattening and no foods are fattening. The term fattening is often overused and misunderstood because regardless of whether a food contains protein, carbohydrate or fat it is the total amount of calories consumed that determines whether it will become stored energy in the form of body fat. Only when an excessive amount of energy, or calories, is consumed regardless of the nutrients it contains, will body fat be stored and increased.

With that said there are certain nutrients that encourage more fat storage and an increased amount of energy to be metabolised and turned into adipose tissue due to the affect it has on the body’s hormonal balance. For example foods containing simple sugar spike blood sugar levels which encourage and stimulate the production of insulin which works to stabilise blood sugar levels by driving energy into the cells of the body as quickly as possible. At this point if these sugars are not used or burnt immediately by the cells of the body then the excess will become stored body fat. This is why sugar is in fact more fattening than fat, depending on the total amount of calories consumed.

3. What the Best Exercise for Burning the Most Fat?

This question can be answered two ways. Firstly lower intensity exercise such as walking does use more fat as fuel while lower intensity exercise such as sprinting or lifting weights uses more sugar as fuel. So on paper longer periods of lower intensity exercise is the best for fat loss. However!

This is just not the case and is only true in theory. Lower intensity exercise can very well be effective for fat loss but it is by no means the most effective. The reason being when lower intensity exercise is performed there is such a small amount of calorie expenditure being demanded from the body that a person would have to spend hours performing the activity while combining it with a very committed extremely calorie controlled strict and balanced diet for it to be effective and to see visible results.

If you perform a shorter burst of higher intensity exercise while the body will use primarily sugar as fuel the demand for calorie burning will be greater and so after not very long the body will have used its sugar reserves and convert to fat for energy, but that isn’t even where the power lies. The true power of higher intensity exercise lies in the EPOC. This means Excessive Post Exercise Oxygen Consumption. Not only will the person burn more overall calories while performing the activity but they will raise their metabolism much higher and for a much longer extended period of time, so that once the heart rate as dropped back down and the body goes back to burning fat as fuel, as it does at lower intensity activity, the persons body will continue to be burning a far greater amount of calories for hours and hours, due to their elevated metabolism and raised EPOC. Considering this we can see that interval training and sprints would be more effective than walking or jogging.

And yet that still wouldn’t be the absolute best way to burn body fat. The absolute best way to burn body fat (combined with a well balanced diet) would be to lift weight and to build muscle. This comes to a shock to most people but I can assure you it is true. The reason for this is that muscle tissue is the most metabolically active tissue in the body, meaning it burns more calories than any other tissue. Muscles require additional calories simply to maintain. Muscle tissue contributes to your resting metabolic rate which is the number of calories you burn while at rest. So the more muscle tissue you have the more calories and energy your body will need even when you are resting and not exercising. This is where the true power lies. By building muscle you can burn additional calories and fat 24 hours a day and not just while you work out!

4. Why Can’t I Lose Fat?

This always a simple answer and always comes down to one of three reasons. Firstly you could be using an ineffective exercise strategy such as mentioned above. Secondly your are disobeying the fundamental laws and eating too many calories or eating too many of the wrong food such as high sugar and high GI foods. Or finally you are not being consistent!

You will only lose fat if you have the self discipline to be consistent. Failure or success is not an overnight experience in anything but a result of the consistent actions you have taken or failed to take. Working out once or twice doesn’t produce results, nor does eating a well balanced meal once or twice make you healthy and change you body shape. At the same time missing one or two workouts and eating the wrong foods once or twice will not make you out of shape and over weight/fat. The condition of your physical body both inside and out is the direct result of your consistent habits!

5. How Many Calories Are There in a Gram of Fat?

One gram of fat contains 9 calories. Both protein and carbohydrate contain just 4 calories per gram. This is why fat is considered fattening and can contribute to a greater amount of body fat storage but again is a result of the total calorie content of the nutrient, the food and the amount consumed rather than the fat itself.

As mentioned above the characteristics and the impact of simple sugars on the body encourage fat storage more than fat itself. However it ultimately always comes down to golden rule number one which is the calorie balance, the amount consumed versus the amount burnt or used.

I hope this article of Frequently Asked Questions has been of use to you and if you would like to learn more about how to make the most of these fundamental fat burning principles and learn how you can quickly put them into action to have an immediate affect on your body and your results then go to http://www.BodyByAdam.co.uk.

You Cannot Buy Your Health!

2009-11-09T02:20:00.001-08:00

Today so many people live their with very little thought or consideration to their health or the condition and wellbeing of their physical bodies. A large amount of people eat what they want when they want while engaging and participating in very little, if not no, physical exercise or activity what so ever.

Many of the jobs in modern society are desk bound jobs that demand very little from our physical bodies and the majority of the population are living very inactive sedentary lifestyle.

They are living a “box life”. They live in a box, the drive to work in box, the go up to their office in a box, they sit and work in front of a box, they come home and sit starring at a box before going up to sleep in a box. This mundane and repetitive cycle has its consequences and effects.

Combine all this with the processed man made chemically induced crap that so many of us pile down our throats on a daily basis and you have a recipe for disaster!

Ill health, poor physical condition, back pain, knee and shoulder pain, headaches, overweight, over fat, heart problems, asthma, diabetes, cancer, premature death and much more…

And what so most people do then, when any of these things occur? They try to throw money at the problem to make it go away. They go to the Doctor and say “fix me dr”. They expect some pills, medicine or an injection to fix the problem and resolve it all. Many find a Trainer and say “Get me fit, make me strong, fix my back problem”. They want to buy back their health!

Well until they decide to be accountable these individuals will never get what they want regardless of how much money they have. No one can do it for them! There is no price for good health. The physical body is a priceless biological machine that is capable of amazing things and it can and it will provide you with optimal health, an abundance of energy, maximums strength and performance and a long life of disease free wellbeing and vitality.

And in exchange for all these wonderful gifts and a lifetime of service it doesn’t ask for money, nor can you ever offer it, it merely asks that you take responsibility for it and provide it with all the things it needs to function and thrive at its optimal and peak levels so that you can live a life of abundance that you deserve.

All your body asks for or requires is:-
• Fresh air and oxygen
• Clean fresh water
• Living nutritious foods
• Regular physical activity, exercise and movement
• The chance to rest, relax, recover, replenish and recharge

Provide your body with these things and you will receive in return all the energy, health, vitality, wellbeing, strength, stamina, endurance and flexibility you will ever need to live out your dreams.

Start with physical abundance and then you can work on the other areas of life. Value your health and you body first and the rest will fall into place.

Here’s to your health, happiness and eternal success

5 Mistakes Most People Make When Trying To Change Their Body

2009-11-06T07:52:00.000-08:00

5 Mistakes Most People Make When Trying To Change Their Body

1. They Go On A Diet
What you eat today you’re going to wear tomorrow!

Diets do not work! The very nature of a diet is setting up the person who decides to embark upon one for failure from the start. Diets may cause initial weight loss and even rapidly but it is not sustainable, healthy or quality weight loss. Did you know that 90% of people who go on diets end up putting the weight back on that they lose plus an additional 2bls?
Think about it. If you consider that every single cell in your body is made up from the foods that you eat and the nutrients that you assimilate then you can appreciate when I tell you that what you eat today you are going to be wearing tomorrow.

The weight that they do lose is very often water and muscle with very little fat loss. This is due to the nature of a diet being a starvation method, either by massive calorie reduction, too much too fast, and/or going for long extended periods of time without food or nutrition. Most diets work by excluding one or more food groups which of course would result in weight loss but also leaves the person malnourished, sick, tired and unhealthy. As a survival mechanism the body enters starvation mode and in an attempt to conserve energy will slow down all the bodily and metabolic systems, this eventually leads to rapid weight gain due to the fact that the dietary habits they embarked upon just were not sustainable and it becomes inevitable and just a matter of time until they give in, binge and eat everything in sight.
If you eat too many of the wrong foods, high saturated fat, fried foods, high sugar foods, refined processed man made foods that the body was not designed to consume then those very foods are what will be broken down and engineered into your muscles, your skin, your hair, your nails, your eyes, your bones, your vital organs, everything!

If you want to lose weight for a week go on a diet if you want to lose fat and change you body for good change your lifestyle!
So if you want a young, healthy, youthful looking face with smooth soft skin, a firmer, more tight and toned body then you must consider the basic raw material that you are putting in your body.

2. They Fail To Identify & Focus On What They Want
Give your body what it needs, fresh, undercooked, raw fruits and vegetables, green leafy salads, high quality lean sources of protein and wholegrains and you will not only feel better but you will look better!

Most people when you ask them what they want will immediately tell you what they do not want. “I don’t want to be fat, I want to lose this belly, I want to lose weight or I’m fed up with looking and feeling like this”. Which tell us that this person is focused on all the things that they don’t want, and this doesn’t exactly inspire the person and drive them with encouragement.
What is the point of wearing nice clothes if the body that displays the clothes does not do them justice… A lean, firm, strong and healthy body makes the clothes that you wear and that all starts with the foods that you eat.

To get what you want you must first identify exactly what it is that you want. If you want to weight a certain amount then identify and state that, if you want to only have a certain amount of body fat then decide what it is to be a state it, if you want to look or feel a certain way then make decision and state it. Clarity is power and is the first step to achieving anything!
So if you take pride in your appearance and you like to look good then next time you consider putting something in your mouth purely because it tastes good in the moment then take a moment to think and ask yourself, “Is this something that I want to be wearing on my body in days to come?”

OnlyAnd if it isn’t then can you startit’s time to make a plan towards its attainment. Howbetter choice and select the foods that you would want to wear with pride and that will leave you ever know if you hit your target when you don’t know what it is you are aiming at. Chase the thing you want instead of running away from what it is you don’t want. “Whatever you resist will persist”.feeling and looking fabulous.

3. They Don’t Get The Proper Help

A coach and a trainer can be invaluable!
Until next time

So many people will try to do everything on their own or they won’t try at all. Both methods will greatly limit how far you will go and how quickly you will get there. All professional athletes have a coach to help them to get the best out of themselves on a consistent basis. Self motivation is great but it is only a small amount of what is possible when combined and compared to what you can achieve with the help of an experienced coach who has the skills and the distinctions to help you to go further faster. Someone who has your best interests at heart and has your success as their main concern.
Your Trainer & Friend

I used to try to do everything on my own. I thought asking and seeking help was a sign of weakness and I was all into proving to people what I was capable of. Then I learnt that having someone to help you, be part of a support system for you isn’t weakness, its intelligent. A coach doesn’t do the work for you, they just hold you accountable, keep you on track, get you to follow through and not just know what to do but they get you to do what you know. A coach can offer a broader perspective and offer solutions and alternatives that you may never have thought about or considered on your own. A coach isn’t necessarily better then you they just have the skills and the know how to get you to perform better. When I started to employ the use of a coach all areas of my life started to improve at an accelerated rate.

4. They Fail To Get A Proven System For Success
Forget your age!

This is key. So many people have the motivation, have the drive and the commitment, they are inspired and they get their buts in gear. They have all the energy and the will to take action and they go for it full steam ahead. The only thing they lack is a proven system for success…
Did you know that there are 3 different types of age?

They lack a strategy to get them from where they are to where they want to be. They haven’t found a system for eating, for working out, for setting goals for all the things that they want to achieve in regards to their physical body. So many people hit the gym, go running, try to eat healthy but have no real structure or no real system to follow. They expend all this time, energy and effort but never really get anywhere, and if they do its only temporary until their progress stops because they lack a plan of action with a proven system for getting results.
There is your Chronological age, which is the amount of years since your birth date. There is Biological age, which is the physical age or condition of your body.
And there is Psychological age, which is the age of your mindset, how old you think and act.

Get a proven system for success at www.BodyByAdam.co.uk! You may then also be interested to know that your Chronological age, how old you actually are in years, has the least amount of influence and impact on how long you live.

5. They Give Up
That’s right both the quantity and the quality of the years you are alive a mostly influenced and affected by both your Biological and your Psychological age.

Unfortunately this is all too common and is ironically usually a result of one or more of the first 4 mistakes. If someone is not making progress and not seeing results then it is only a matter of time before they inevitably give up.
The physical condition and health of your body, your internal organs, your muscle tissue, your heart and lungs, your circulatory system, the health of every single cell combine to result in your Biological age. Some one may be 30 years old but have the physical condition, the internal organs, the body of a 50 year old. Vice-versa a 50 year old could have the health, fitness, wellness and youth of a 30 year old.

Frustration, discouragement, disappointment and heartache are all a common theme in so many people when trying to change their bodies and it usually stems from them making one or more of the above mistakes and when they do experience any one of the above mentioned negative meotions on a regular and ongoing basis it is only a mtter of time that their brain will allow them to continue suffering in pain until it says enough something must change and it that moment, a decision is made, a decision to either change their approach and find an alternative solution, plan of action or method or they just give up.
Then there is the Psychological age. This includes the beliefs, the values, the mental attitude, the playfulness, the outlook on life and the energy of a youthful person. The mind has an undoubtedly powerful effect over the physical body, one that very few ever realise or utilise, and so has a huge influence over the bodies health, wellness and physical condition.

Obviously it is always better to change the approach when results and progress are not being made but only if the change in approach is the right one. And this will be the case if you simply avoid these 5 mistakes when trying to change your body.
Research and studies have shown that those with the youngest Biological and Psychological age are less likely to get sick, develop disease and die early. They not only statistically live longer but they enjoy a much better quality of life while they are alive.

Seek the proper help, get a proven system for success, identify with clarity what it is you want and focus upon it and create the lifestyle and habits to make it all sustainable for long term results. And of course never ever give up!
The absolute great news here then is that while your Chronological age is something entirely out of your control, you cannot change your birthday, you can control, influence and effect both your biological and psychological age through exercise, nutrition and changing your perspective on life. You really can control, freeze and often reverse time. You can quite literally turn back the hands of time on your body and your health.

Go to www.BodyByAdam.couk to find out how to avoid all of these 5 mistakes and to change your body as rapidly as possible and make the results last!
You may not always be able to add years to your life, but you can certainly add live to your years!

I highly recommend you read a book called “Ageless Mind, Timeless Body” by Dr Deepak Chopra!

Why 99% Of People Fail To Lose Weight, Burn Fat, Get Lean & Create The Body Of Their Dreams (Plus What You Can Do To Become Part Of That 1%)

2009-11-04T01:48:00.000-08:00

I am going to share with you why the majority of people fail to ever achieve their goals in regards to their physical body’s and why they never come close to the body of their dreams regardless of how hard they work, how much effort they put on or how well they think they are eating. Then I will tell you exactly what you can do about it to become one of the minority who actually design, sculpt, build and create the body of their dreams and a physic that demands attention.

One of the primary goals of virtually every person I train, every person in the gym and every one I meet (with a few exceptions) is to either lose weight or lose fat from their body. Some people may have specific goals of getting lean ripped abs or building muscle also but virtually all of us have the goal of reducing or eliminating body fat from our bodies.

So what do the majority of people do when they make the decision to lose some weight and try to shed some fat. Usually it’s three main things… Cardio cardio cardio because they won’t to lose fat, tonnes of sit ups crunches and abdominal/stomach work because that is the main area they want to tone up and lose fat from and then go on some kind of diet usually involves starving themselves and not eating very much.

WRONG! WRONG! WRONG!

These poor misguided souls have good intentions and they quite often expend a lot of time and energy in taking action in the pursuit of their goals, which is why it breaks my heart when I see people making these all too common mistakes. Let me explain where this large group of the population are going wrong.

Firstly while cardio is beneficial for burning fat, burning additional calories and losing weight, however to get the best results in actually burning body fat it must be done in a very specific way and unfortunately most people just jump on a treadmill, a bike, a rower and off they go with very little thought as to what they are doing and how they are doing it. The more they sweat the better is a common belief. But the strategy is all wrong and in order to get the best results for fat loss when doing cardio you must have the right strategy for success. Also a very important point which I shall talk about more shortly is that cardio is in actual fact NOT the best form of exercise to burn and shed unwanted fat!

Then all those sit ups, crunches and abdominal work is just so ineffective. Firstly because most people have such poor technique when performing these exercises and just focus on doing as many repetitions as possible without the guidance of an experienced coach or trainer. Listen when it come to abdominal work always think Quality over Quantity! Secondly you must understand that even with excellent technique when performing these exercises, you CANNOT spot reduce body fat! And what that means is that performing an exercise for one particular muscle group or area of the body does nothing more to burn fat from that area than any other exercise. You may be working the muscle underneath the fat but you are not necessarily burning any fat from that area so you may never see the muscle underneath all the fat anyway.

Body fat is nothing more than stored energy. You have consumed more calories, or energy, in the form of food than your body has used and burnt off and so it has been stored as body fat for later use. Where you store body fat is merely your genetics and there is nothing you can do about it. So if you want to burn fat then you must perform the exercises that burn and use the most energy overall so it will take that additional energy from your fat stores wherever that might be. A squat or a lung will do more to burn fat from your tummy than any abdominal exercise ever will because it is more energy demanding!

Then finally the crazy diet that is usually so low in calories that it is not sustainable and therefore not effective long term. It may cause some initial weight lose due to the reduction in energy but the body is super adaptive and it will soon lower the metabolic rate to meet this new lower calorie intake. This is known as the starvation mode. When you deprive the body of energy, calories and food it thinks that there is a shortage and perhaps you are trapped somewhere without food or something and so in an attempt to survive it will do everything possible to conserve energy by slowing down all the metabolic processes. So the person is now burning even less calories than before, the very opposite of their goal. Also when in starvation mode the body will do all that it can to keep hold of any body fat and become extra efficient at storing it because it never knows when or if there will be enough food later on.

So as you can see these three things that the majority of the population do in an attempt to lose weight and burn fat is extremely ineffective and actually counter productive the very thing they are trying to achieve. This is why so many people get frustrated, disappointed and discouraged and end up giving up and often gaining even more weight than when they started.

So the reason 99% of people never achieve their goals of losing weight, burning fat, getting lean and achieving the body of their dreams is because they have a very poor and ineffective strategy! In order to achieve any goal you must have an effective strategy , a system for success, that is proven to produce result. With all the effort, determination, will power and positive intent in the world you can never run east and see a sun set, because running east in search for a sunset is the wrong strategy.

So you see hard work and effort is not enough if you’re doing the wrong thing. It is like a fly banging against a window trying to get outside, no matter how hard he tried he’s never going to get anywhere. But if he stopped to reassess and take a look around he would see that the window is open just three inches to the side of him. That is what I want to offer you now, an open window to fly out of to your goals.

I’ve shared with you that the reason for the majority of people never getting the body they want is a poor and ineffective strategy and now I want to offer you a proven strategy for success. A step by step system for producing the results that you want. How to shed pounds, lose weight and burn as much fat from your body as you desire.

In three simple steps that may seem overly simplistic but have no doubt these are the three pillars of fat loss that do not change.

1. Eat Less
2. Eat More
3. Burn More

You must first eat less calories than your body uses or needs but this must be done in a very specific way. Again you must have the right eating strategy in order to set your body up for fat loss. As I shared with you earlier starving your body and going on a diet does not work long term and will train your body to store more fat. You must eat less calories than you burn, that is always golden rule number one, but you must do it the right way.

You then must eat more often. Eating more often, small frequent meals is one of the most effective strategies for reducing body fat. There are so many benefits to eating more often and we do not have the time to go into the depth of in this article but just know for now that eating little and often is essential for effective fat loss.

And thirdly you must burn more calories than you consume and you must burn them through exercise. You must burn fat you cannot just starve it. Effective exercise is of course essential to burning fat and shedding pound of unwanted weight long term but once again you must have the right strategy for the best result.

These are the three pillars, the three steps to effective long term fat loss, weight loss and getting a lean body. Obviously each of these three steps have a details strategy within them and the details of which are far too many to go into in this article. If you want to learn more and discover the exact strategy for each component of this formula, these three steps then I invite you to visit http://www.BodyByAdam.co.uk where you can not only find out more about “Fat Loss Blueprint” A complete step by step guide to losing body fat, which is a proven system for success but you can also sign up for a FREE 5 Day Video Course which will help you to start seeing results right away.

If you want to become part of the 1% who get results and achieve the body of your dreams then I encourage you to go to http://www.BodByAdam.co.uk and learn the strategies that get results and leave the 99% of frustrated, discourage and disappointed people behind forever. Then think about once you get the results you want how you can share your success and your knowledge to inspire and help others who struggle.

More Energy To Make Your Goals And Dreams A Reality

More Energy To Make Your Goals And Dreams A Reality

Have you ever felt so motivated one day, you felt so inspired to get moving and to take action, you were determined to make things happen?

Have you thought to your self that’s it today I’m going to get this done and your mind says “let’s go” and then your body say’s “not now I’m tired”… Has that ever happened to you? I bet it has.

You see quite often we get motivated, we get inspired, we make the decision to take action and make thing happen and we just simply lack the physical energy, the juice, to get moving. This is why without your health you simply will not be performing at your optimal and therefore achieving and completing tasks and goals, bog or small, becomes so much harder.

I could never say to you that you cannot achieve anything without optimal healthy and being able to perform at peak levels on a consistent basis because the truth is you have already achieved so many great things and already accomplished so much but if you are honest with yourself do you think you could have done more? Can you see how that without your health your goals are going to be harder to achieve, take longer to reach and simply never fulfil your full potential?

Have you ever had a day when you just felt great, the juices were flowing, your energy was high and you were kicking butt and taking names? You were performing at your optimal level and as a result you were getting so much done, you were working hard but it was almost easy and enjoyable, there wasn’t a resistance, energy was just flowing through you, it wasn’t forced, you were just in the zone.

Can you then imagine what it would like, what it would feel like, how much you could get done if you were able to perform at this peak and optimal level on a consistent basis? How much more would you be able to achieve and accomplish, what goals and dreams could you make a reality, how much more energy would you have left to spend and play with your family, your spouse or your children?

Think what it would be like to be able to set unreasonable and huge goals, goals so large that they scared you and you had no idea how you would every achieve them and yet you knew that the one thing that wouldn’t stand in your way was your lack of energy. You may not know exactly what to do but you possessed enough juice to keep you going when things inevitably get tough so that you could keep pushing forwards in the pursuit of your goals no matter what.

So many people lose sight of their dreams, give up and become discouraged not merely because they lose motivation to keep going but because they lack the physical vibrancy and energy to ever achieve them so they then lower their standards and set such measly uninspiring goals so that they do not have to face feeling like a failure. This is not living!

“Shoot for the moon.

Even if you miss you will land amongst the stars”

The universe in abundant and so should our lives be but without an abundance of physical energy and health our lives will become limited regardless of our mental power, focus or motivation. Our physical bodies are what allow the creation of our mind and hearts dreams and desires but without energy to take action our goals and dreams and the quality of our life’s will forever remains limited.

Unlock your potential, create unlimited health and an abundance of physical energy by getting in the best physical condition and shape of you life at www.BodyByAdam.co.uk

Imagine waking up in the morning and having the energy to jump out of bed with the excitement and positive anticipation of a young child at Christmas… Not because you have to but because you want to. This is you natural state and I urge you to go and claim it!

The Time Machine!

2009-10-30T03:48:00.000-07:00

The Fountain of Youth

What if I said to you that I could show you the fountain of youth or I had a time machine that you could use to not only slow down the aging process but reverse it.

Would you be interested? Would you want to know more?

Well my friends that is exactly what our creator has given us. Our bodies can not only heal themselves, the can replenish and renew themselves if merely given the opportunity and the resources to do so.

BAM! I just clicked my fingers… In that split second millions of cells just died in your body in an instant but at the very same moment millions more were created in their place. That is the constant process of renewing that our bodies are going through at every moment.

Within every 7 years every single cell in a human body is entirely replaced and renewed. That means that by the time we are 7 not one single cell in our bodies is the same is the ones we were born with. Then again at age 14, 21, 28 and so on throughout our lives this continuous regeneration is repeated. Our DNA structure remains throughout this time which program the news cells and is why our features and genetics remain after all our cells are replaced.

Given all the necessary resources our bodies could in theory continue to renewal themselves indefinitely and potentially live forever. And if not forever then for a far greater length of time than our current limited minds believe.

We age for many reasons, but the majority of us are aging at a far accelerated rate and many are dying prematurely due to lots of factors. Poor nutrition, lack of exercise and stress are the main contributors to accelerated aging and premature death. These are all things that are well in our control and therefore we can consciously slow down and often even reverse the aging process through our habitual and consistent actions.

The physical aspects such as nutrition and exercise are essential but so are the mental aspects of thoughts, feelings and beliefs which due to the cybernetic loop between both body and mind have a profound affect on our physical bodies and the rate at which we age.

Every single thought, feeling and emotion we have releases chemicals into our systems which have an effect on our bodies. Every major organ within our bodies have special receptors which are sensitive to these chemicals stimulated by our brains and the respond accordingly, some times in a positive, healthy and healing way that is relative to the thoughts, feelings and emotions being experienced and sometimes in a negative and harmful way also relative to the specific chemicals being released as a result of the individuals brain activity.

When you also consider that a person’s perception of reality is different for every one and an individual’s perception of an experience, situation, circumstance or event is what causes that individuals thoughts, feelings and emotions you can also then appreciate why some people age and die sooner or earlier than others while some live longer and more youthful.

This is why activities such as mediation and yoga have proven to be so effective as they control and direct the mind which in turn helps the person participating in such activity to have a greater control over their thoughts, feelings and emotions which give a greater control over the brain chemicals which are taking an affect on the physical body.

Combine all this with proper nutrition and regular exercise and activity and you will have found the time machine and the fountain of youth that our creator did bless us with and that we have forgotten how to use and very often take for granted.

No amount of money on pills, poisons, cosmetics or surgery will ever come close to that of your own mind and body. If you wish to stay youthful for as long as possible then I encourage you to become a student of both body and mind and take possession of the magical gifts that are rightfully yours. Eternal youth is your god given right. It is up to you whether you wish to take claim of it!

The Laws of Nature

2009-10-28T05:03:00.000-07:00

Natures Laws

Hello everyone

I want to talk to you today about the laws of nature.

There are natural laws of the universe that govern everything and everyone and these laws do not need your permission to take affect on you, they are part of your life and your experience whether you like it or not!

You cannot defy these laws, you can avoid or run away from them. They affect you whether you are good or bad, young or old, black or white, male or female. Gravity is the best example of one of natures laws. You cannot hide from this law it effects EVERYONE at every moment.

There are also natural laws that govern and command our bodies. These are the laws that determine how we function, how we move, how we digest and assimilate, how we age everything. Now you can learn and understand these laws and you must if you wish to create a body that you desire. So may people violate many of the natural laws of the body and therefore they get pain. They gain weight, they get sick, tired, run down, injured, depressed and frustrated with their physical condition.

Often they blame their genetics, the world around them, other people, their parents, anyone but themselves but in truth it is themselves who have violated the natural laws of the body. Learn to live, eat and move in harmony with these laws and you will be rewarded with lots of pleasure in the form of energy, vitality, health, strength, confidence and a zest for life.

I am sure that you are able to make it through the day without attempting to violate the law of gravity by jumping off a building in attempt to fly. Then do not attempt to violate the laws of the body by eating too much of the wrong types of foods and not using the body that you were given to them become disappointed with how you look and feel. I must take responsible for the body you have. It is the only one you will get

Someone once said “I chose to be obese. I say that because not once in my life did anyone make me eat the excess foods that I had eaten, nor had they stopped me from moving and using my body”.

Let me leave you with a poem today to get your minds thinking.

You are the handicap that you must face,

You are the one who must choose your place.

You must say where you want to go,

How much you will study the truth to know.

God has equipped you for life but he,

Has let you decide what you want to be.

If you don’t use it you lose it!

2009-10-26T04:22:00.000-07:00

If you don’t use it you lose it!

The WORSE thing for the body is inactivity

What hurts you the most is sitting around on your butt not doing anything. Activity is essential to life, movement is life! We are movement creatures, we were designed to move and be active. We were not designed to sit on our backside for 12 plus hours per day.

With that said many of our lives in modern society dictate and demand that we be sat down for extended periods of time throughout the day. The majority of jobs and occupations today involve being pretty sedentary. And therefore this makes it even more essential, even more necessary to make activity and exercise part of your daily and weekly routine!

If you do not use it you lose it. Muscles unused atrophy away, strength decreases, flexibility reduces, bones become weak and fragile, posture deteriorates and metabolism slows. All of these things combine and accumulate to course many of today’s major physical complaints and conditions. Sickness, illness, tiredness, overweight, over fat, obesity, injuries, back pain, knee pain, shoulder pain and many chronic diseases are all a result of inactivity and poor health. All of these things can be reduced and even avoided with the right amount and the correct types of regular physical activity and just a small amount of focus and attention to a person’s dietary habits.

All the symptoms listed above a an effect of the decisions and actions people make or fail to make on a regular and consistent basis just as a strong, lean, fit, healthy and youthful person full of energy has these things because of the decisions and actions they make on a consistent and ongoing basis. Those who fail to use their bodies will always pay the price. While those who commit to use their bodies regularly reap the rewards and the benefits.

It is simple cause and effect.

I strongly urge you to read book Pain Free: A Revolutionary Method for Stopping Chronic Pain by a man named Pete Egoscue. Pete founded and created the Egoscue Method and his book is so inspiring and informative to the many benefits and reasons to get, be and stay active long term and he offers techniques and methods to live a long pain free live full of movement through the use of low intensity corrective exercises.

If you don’t want to lose what you have but grow and gain a even better body than you have now then I encourage you to get moving now. Try to include 15-30 minutes of light activity and exercise into your daily routine such as walking, cycling, swimming or rebounding and be sure to perform at least 30 minutes of vigorous exercise 3 to 4 times per week, ideally some form of resistance training to place a demand on muscle tissue.

Are you a sugarholic?

2009-10-23T03:27:00.000-07:00

Are you a sugarholic?

Do you have a sweet tooth? Do you crave sugaring sweet foods often? When you get hungry do you automatically reach for a chocolate bar, some biscuits or a fizzy drink?

If the answer is yes to any of these questions then you could be a sugarholic!

We all know what an alcoholic is and the negative effects that can have on a person’s body, their lifestyle and those around them. Well a sugarholic isn’t much different, it is some one who is quite literally addicted to sugar.

Studies have shown than sugar has a very similar effect on the brain as a drug, it causes a sugar rush, it is a stimulant that our bodies get addicted to and become dependant on, when we don’t have it we crave it and literally get withdrawal symptoms and after the high and the buzz we get a come down, a massive drop or low in energy and we crash. All the symptoms of a drug!

Refined white sugar is toxic and poisonous to our bodies. It is quite literally killing people, making people sick and tired, causing disease and making people fat and obese.

I’ve said it before and I will continue to say it, fat does not make you fat sugar makes you fat! No obviously too much fat, too much of anything, can make you fat due to an excess in calories but it is not the actual fat content of the foods which make you fat.

But when it comes to sugar, white refined sugar does make you fat! It messes up your blood sugar levels, it causes an imbalance in certain hormones which encourage fat storage and gain and it leaves you wanting more so you tend to over eat.

If you value your health, your body, your physical condition and your appearance at all then you will do your very best to eliminate, avoid, or at the very least dramatically reduce as much of the white processed refined sugars from your diet.

Write down a list of the foods you eat in a day and identify how many of those foods contain white refined added sugar. If there is any more than one per day, and that is a lot, then you must do something about it. Learn to stabilise your blood sugar levels by eating wholegrain foods that are low in glycemic index, substitute processed and articificially sweet foods with fruit or a small amount of honey. It may not happen over night but you must start to ween yourself of off sugar or you will pay the price and it will cost you your health, your energy, your wellbeing, your vitality and your body.

The great Jack Lalanne, “The Godfather” of fitness and nutrition say’s “if man made it, don’t eat it!” Jack is 95 and still going strong!

Forget Your Age!

2009-10-21T05:04:00.000-07:00

Did you know that there are 3 different types of age?

There is your Chronological age, which is the amount of years since your birth date. There is Biological age, which is the physical age or condition of your body.

And there is Psychological age, which is the age of your mindset, how old you think and act.

You may then also be interested to know that your Chronological age, how old you actually are in years, has the least amount of influence and impact on how long you live.

That’s right both the quantity and the quality of the years you are alive a mostly influenced and affected by both your Biological and your Psychological age.

The physical condition and health of your body, your internal organs, your muscle tissue, your heart and lungs, your circulatory system, the health of every single cell combine to result in your Biological age. Some one may be 30 years old but have the physical condition, the internal organs, the body of a 50 year old. Vice-versa a 50 year old could have the health, fitness, wellness and youth of a 30 year old.

Then there is the Psychological age. This includes the beliefs, the values, the mental attitude, the playfulness, the outlook on life and the energy of a youthful person. The mind has an undoubtedly powerful effect over the physical body, one that very few ever realise or utilise, and so has a huge influence over the bodies health, wellness and physical condition.

Research and studies have shown that those with the youngest Biological and Psychological age are less likely to get sick, develop disease and die early. They not only statistically live longer but they enjoy a much better quality of life while they are alive.

The absolute great news here then is that while your Chronological age is something entirely out of your control, you cannot change your birthday, you can control, influence and effect both your biological and psychological age through exercise, nutrition and changing your perspective on life. You really can control, freeze and often reverse time. You can quite literally turn back the hands of time on your body and your health.

You may not always be able to add years to your life, but you can certainly add live to your years!

I highly recommend you read a book called “Ageless Body, Timeless Mind: A Practical Alternative to Growing Old” by Dr Deepak Chopra!

What You Eat Today, You're Going To Wear Tomorrow

2009-10-19T01:33:00.000-07:00

Think about it. If you consider that every single cell in your body is made up from the foods that you eat and the nutrients that you assimilate then you can appreciate when I tell you that what you eat today you are going to be wearing tomorrow.

If you eat too many of the wrong foods, high saturated fat, fried foods, high sugar foods, refined processed man made foods that the body was not designed to consume then those very foods are what will be broken down and engineered into your muscles, your skin, your hair, your nails, your eyes, your bones, your vital organs, everything!

So if you want a young, healthy, youthful looking face with smooth soft skin, a firmer, more tight and toned body then you must consider the basic raw material that you are putting in your body.

Give your body what it needs, fresh, undercooked, raw fruits and vegetables, green leafy salads, high quality lean sources of protein and wholegrains and you will not only feel better but you will look better!

What is the point of wearing nice clothes if the body that displays the clothes does not do them justice… A lean, firm, strong and healthy body makes the clothes that you wear and that all starts with the foods that you eat.

So if you take pride in your appearance and you like to look good then next time you consider putting something in your mouth purely because it tastes good in the moment then take a moment to think and ask yourself, “Is this something that I want to be wearing on my body in days to come?”

And if it isn’t then it’s time to make a better choice and select the foods that you would want to wear with pride and that will leave you feeling and looking fabulous.

Until next time

Do You Have A Slow Metabolism?

2009-10-16T05:53:00.000-07:00

Hello my friends

Today I want to address and answer a question that many of you may have asked yourself at one time or another. And that is... "Do I have a slow metabolism?"

The answer to that question is quite possibly YES!. No obviously it is individual to everyone as every one of us is different. We all have a slightly different genetic make up and one of the charatoristics that differs from person to person is their metabolism.

However...

While the speed, rate, height of your metabolism can be effected by your individual genetics it is not the most influencial thing that has an effect on your current metabolic rate. In fact your genetic tendancies have very little inpact on the metabolism that you experience and live with on a day to day basis when compared to other factors.

Such as, lifestyle, activity levels, exercise, diet, nutrition, hydration. Yes, the truth is these things play a much larger role on influencing and effecting your metabolic rate than anything else including your genetics.

If you wish to take control of your physical destiny and create the body and level of physical conditioning that you desire you must understand that you have a huge amount of control over your metaboic rate!

Your metabolism is a result of your lifestyle, the choices and decisions that you make on an everyday basis, the actions you take or fail to take all contribute to determining your metabolic rate and the condition of your physical body.

Your weight, your body fat, your lean muscle mass, your energy levels and even your skin, hair, nails and eyes are greatly effected by your metabolism. And you can take control of your metabolism and start to influence it today!

Make a decison to take back control and stop making excuses by blaming genetics and the outside world for your current physical condition. While there may be a small minority of indivuals who are blessed with better than average genetics and faster metabolisms than most, the majority of peopel who have the body's that they desire are not lucky. They have simply taken control and made a conscious decision to determine their own fate and physical health.

And you must do the same! So do you have a slow metabolism? Maybe... but that can all change once you decide to change it!

The 3 Rules of Burning Fat (& Losing Weight)

2009-10-15T03:33:00.000-07:00

Hello my friends

There are cartain physical laws that govern our bodies. These laws cannot be broken, changed, manilpulated or altered. They are universal laws that every person must abide by. Just as the law of gravity effects us all. There are laws of the body that also affect us all.

Today I want to share with you 3 simple rules. These 3 rules followed consistently will determine and govern the amount of fat and the amount of weight you lose, or don't lose. They are rules that work in harmony with the laws of the body and therefore allow you to get what it is you want, a leaner, lighter, firmer body.

While these rules might seem overly simplistic at first do not underestimate the power they possess and the potential they have to change your body. If you can look past their simplicity and learn to follow these three rules then both Fat and Weight will no longer be an issue for you!

Rule number 1. Eat Less

You must eat less calories than your body burns in order to reduce body weight and lose fat. There is no two ways around it. It always come back to Golden Rule Number 1 of the "Calorie Balance". We've said it before and we'll say it again, you must consume less than you burn off. Period!

Rule number 2. Eat More

Eating less simply is not enough. It is a fundamental principle that must be applied but on it's own it is useless and will not achieve the results that you desire. There are certain strategies of eating less overall calories that must be followed in order to effectivly lose weight and fat from your body long term. And one of those essential strategies is learning to eat more often.

Eating little and often. Small frequent balanced meals that provide your body with nurtition and keep your metabolism elevated throughout the day. Your calorie intake must be reduced but your meal frequency should be increased to effectly lose fat and reduce body weight.

Rule number 3. Burn More

You cannot merely starve fat you have to burn it! The other end of the scales of the "Calorie Balance" is to burn more than you consume. Through structured regular effective exercsie. Elevated your bodies heart rate, core temprature, metabolism, muscle tissue all contirbute to your bodies ability to burn more calories throughout the day. You must burn fat and calories Period!

Start to apply these 3 rules and you will see results!

Following these simple 3 rules on a consistent basis will result in less body fat and less overall body weight. However this is merely a brief overview and if you really want to harness the full potential and benefit from these 3 rules then you need to know the specific methods and strategies for following each one.

Each of the 3 rules have certain parameters that have to followed in order to get the maximum results on an ongoing long term basis. There are certain ways of eating less, certain principles of eating more often and abolsute essential rules of how to exercise to get the best results.

To learn more about these 3 rules, how to apply them effectively for maximum benefit and results as well as other rules that can accelerate your results to go even further faster head over to www.bodybyadam.co.uk and order "Fat Loss Blueprint" my 5 step process to maximum fat loss in the shortest possible time.

The Calorie Balance

2009-10-12T01:59:00.000-07:00

The Calorie Balance

Hi Guys and Gals

Today I want to talk to you about something that is so fundamental to you goals. It is something that can be often perceived as overly simplistic and therefore many overlook it or fail to really focus on it in the right way.

I’m talking about the “Calorie Balance”. You see it doesn’t matter if you want to lose, maintain or gain weight it always come down to the core fundamental principle, what I call “Golden Rule Number One” the Calorie Balance.

Calories in vs. Calories out will determine whether your weight goes up, stays the same or goes down. It is just like weighing scales, if one end is heavier than the other then everything is out of balance.

Now must people understand this on an intellectual level but very few people really practice it on a regular basis. Often because it is overlooked but also because very few people truly understand the techniques and strategies required to keep the Calorie Balance tipped in your favour for your specific goals.

If someone has the desire to lose weight then what they usually do is go on a “diet”. What most diets do is use some method of reducing your calorie intake by eliminating a particular food group, by restricting the types of food you can eat or in often cases just by not eating much at all.

The HUGE and GIGANTIC mistake with these diet methods is while they cause your body to lose “weight” initially they are literally conditioning and training your body to gain weight and store even more fat long term. Going on a “diet” is actually counterproductive and the best way to virtually guarantee you gain more weight.

On the other end of the scale if someone wants to gain weight then the common methods of simply eating more and eating pretty much anything and everything is extremely ineffective for quality weight gain and will just result in a lot of extra fat on their body.

While the “Calorie Balance” is Golden Rule Number One to weight management, the quality and type of weight you lose or gain is determined by many factors that must be considered. How to eat, when to eat, what to eat, how much to eat, what, how and when to exercise all contribute to the quality of weight lose or weight gain.

Think of your body like your bank account. If you put in more money then you spend then your bank account increases in size. If you spend more than you put in then your bank balance will reduce in size. Your body is the same as your bank balance but at the same time there are specific spending habits, saving techniques and investing strategies you must adopt if you have the desire to be truly wealthy. The same goes for your body, while you can eat less to lose weight and eat more to gain weight if you wish to be truly healthy and create the lean body you desire then you must adopt some very specific eating habits and apply some very particular exercise principles to get the best possible results.

To learn the absolute best training and eating strategies and get the best systems for success head over to www.bodybyadam.co.uk and check out some of my home study courses.

Until next time.

Are you overweight or just over FAT?

2009-10-09T06:05:00.000-07:00

Are you overweight or just over FAT?

The majority of people’s number one goal is to lose “weight”. Most are obsessed with the number displayed by the scales and many have a specific number in mind that they would like to weight.

Well I am here to tell you that chances are you are not overweight, you are over FAT!

What I mean by that is the actual weight of your body is relatively insignificant in relation to the amount of fat on your body. You see muscles, bones and organs are all quite heavy and will contribute to large amount of your overall body weight. Muscle in particular is heavier than fat.

Therefore the amount you weight gives very little indication to the amount of fat on your body. That is why an athlete can have his BMI (Body Mass Index) measured and be told he is overweight or even obese. When in truth he or she could have less than 10% body fat, which is VERY low.

If weight loss is your goal then I put it to you that what your goal really is, is fat loss. You don’t really care, or you shouldn’t, about the amount of force being created by your body onto the surface of the earth by gravity, because all weight is in essence.

Your goal is to lose fat, not weight. You can lose weight and weigh less on the scales but still be very soft, flabby and over fat. And who wants that?

You need to stop focusing on the scales and start taking note of your body fat percentage either by having it measured by a fitness professional or by simply using the mirror and gauging how your clothes fit. These are far better indicators of effective and quality weight loss than the scales because they show a reduction in body fat and not just body weight.

When you go to by clothes at the store does the label say you must weight this much to fit into this dress or these trousers. No, of course not because your bodyweight is irrelative to the size of the clothes that fit you and your body shape. You body composition, which is your muscle to fat ratio, your shape and size of various body parts is what you must focus on.

The scales can be a useful tool and they can serve a purpose for gauging a certain degree of progress but they must not be your first choice. They must be much further down the list you wish to create the body of your dreams.

Focus on fat loss and not weight loss!

Building a base...

Building a base...

Good morning, good afternoon and good evening depending where in the world you are.

That’s is what I love about the internet, it gives me the opportunity and the privilege to connect with so many people from all over that I wouldn’t otherwise be able to if left to mere physical experience.

Today’s post is all about building a base. It doesn’t matter if you are a complete beginner or an advanced and experienced athlete if you want to get the maximum results, the most benefits, greatest return on your investment and progress as quickly as possible you must have solid base in which to build upon.

Think of a house. It has to have a solid foundation in which to build and support the structure of the house. And just as with architecture the bigger the base the stronger you will be and the higher you can go.

Think about the wide solid base of the Effiel Tower in Paris, at one time that was the tallest man made structure in the world.

How does this relate to your body, your exercise, your workouts and reaching your goals?

Well if you do not have a big solid strong base or foundation on which to build then you will be trying to progress and get stronger, faster, fitter, quicker and work harder while having a weak foundation and eventually this will cause a major setback.

A weakness in the base leads to a weakness throughout the body and eventually things start to break down and inevitably injury will occur in one form or another somewhere in the body. And if it doesn’t then at the very least you will experience training platues and greatly limit how much you can progress just as the limit to which the height of building can be built without a solid base.

So what is it specifically that creates the base and the foundation of the body that I am speaking of and what must we do to strengthen it?

Stability is the base of the body. Stabilisation is the foundation for continuous growth and progress with your training, your workouts and therefore in reaching your goals.

Virtually everyone walks into a gym and focuses their workouts on getting fitter, getting stronger, getting faster or quicker and all of these things are great, they are key components to physical fitness. However, none of these things are possible without adequate stabilisation within the body to allow these components to exist and then to progress.

If you wish to run you ankles, knees, hips and spine must allow work in synergy to stabilise the joints and allow the muscles of the body to create the motion of running in the most efficient and pain free way while reducing the amount of stress placed upon the wrong parts of the body.

If you wish to lift weights then the joints of the body have be able to support the weight and the force created before the muscle can contract with sufficient force to move the resistance.

All human bodily motion and movement require stabilisation and without compensation is created to allow movement to take place which then causes unnecessary stress on the wrong parts of the body which were not designed to take such pressure, stress and impact.

This can lean to pain, pulls, strains, aches and any number of injuries and breakdown within the body. All of which can become major setbacks on your road to successfully achieving you goals.

Stabilisation training is something very few training programs incorporate and the majority fail to include.

In the world of today with most peoples sedentary lifestyles and the majority of individuals having desk bound jobs that require very little movement throughout the day it is essential and absolutely compulsory that everyone of us include a certain amount of stabilisation training into our training programs.

The body is designed to work and move as an integrated unit and not in isolation. Be sure to allocate a certain amount of your training program on core stabilisation, balance and reactive work and include phases of training that focus solely on these things.

If you have no idea about how to go about this, what are good exercises to perform and where you should begin then please visit bodybyadam.co.uk and look out for future programs, content and courses that are designed around stabilisation training.

You can also past your questions and comments on here and I will try to make time to answer them whenever possible.

Until next time…

3 Pillars of Success

The 3 Pillars of Success

Hey guys and gals…

Welcome to another day on the road to physical mastery and creating the body of your dreams.

I want to introduce you to something today that has the potential to literally guarantee your success in anything you desire or aspire to be, have or become.

This is something that I will be basing all future content on and regardless of what topics or subjects we may get into in the future it will always stem from or come back to what we can call he 3 pillars of success.

These 3 pillars are the foundation from what are achievements can be built upon, both in regards to your body and anything else in life. These 3 pillars of success are what hold and support the weight of accomplishment.

Ok so what are these 3 pillars of success?

1. Clarity. Know exactly what it is you want

2. Get the best Strategy for success. The best systems, tactics, techniques & methods.

3. Get the right mindset/psychology for success.

Let us have a closer look at each of these with a simple example

Pillar 1. You must know with absolute clarity what it is you want. What is it you are trying to achieve? What are your specific goals? How can you hope to hit your target if you don’t know what it is?

Let’s use weight loss as an example. Most people when trying to lose weight will simply say. “I want to lose weight” and that’s it. Very few really know exactly how much they would like to lose or by when. You must be crystal clear and you must have a deadline.

At bodybyadam, and in many of my programs, I will show you the exact steps of how to set powerful goals that create clarity and literally pull you in the direction you wish to go. You see your brain is like a heat seeking missile, if you simply set the coordinates and direct it’s focus on the target it will seek it out until it reaches it. But you must be crystal clear!

Pillar 2. You must have the right strategy for success. Most people trying to lose weight have a very poor strategy that almost guarantees failure. No matter how clear they are on what they want and how focused they are on losing a specific amount of weight without the right system for success they will never achieve their goal.

Fortunately that is what bodybyadam is all about. Offering you the very best tools, techniques, systems and programs for maximum success in the shortest amount of time. This second pillar is what makes up the bulk of our work together and as long as you follow the advice, tips, methods and strategy’s I offer, and then combine them with the other 2 pillars you cannot fail, whatever your goal.

It doesn’t matter how enthusiastic, positive or focused you are if you are looking eat searching for a sunset you are never going to succeed.

And finally Pillar 3. The right mindset and psychology for success. You can know what it is you want and you can even be given the very best strategy and system for success and yet if your psychology is wrong then you will never take action, apply what you know, follow through and reach your goal.

I have seen so many people set goals, tell me they want something like a lean, healthy, fit, strong physic, and even be very specific with the amount of weight or fat that they wish to lose.

I then have offered to them a solution. A program, a system, a strategy that has proven to work time and time again and that can give them everything they want. And yet they fail to get the results they desire for one reason or another. Quite often that reason is because they Self sabotage themselves. They take 3 steps forwards and 5 steps back.

Why? Because they don’t have the winning mindset, the powerful psychology that successful people all share. The good news is those who do produce results and achieve their goals are not lucky, they were not born under a lucky star and blessed with the right mindset. It was a result of conditioning. Values, beliefs and directing your focus are just some of the things that make up your psychology.

Some people have inner conflicts that cause them to want something but not truly believe it is possible for them or perhaps that they don’t deserve it, or any other negative thought patterns that could be holding them back and keeping them from getting what it is that they want.

Again the good news is this can all change and we will certainly be spending some time on this pillar along the road ahead and our journey together. While the strategies and the systems for success is what bodybyadam is mainly about all of my products and programs have a focus on these other 2 pillars also because it is the 3 pillars of success that you must possess to achieve any goal.

And know that you know and understand what they are we can move forwards…

Until next time…

Here’s to your health, your happiness and your continuing success.
