I used to say "the best form of exercise is the one that you're more likely to do, so choose something you can get enthusiastic about it and then go and get stuck into it". It makes sense, right?
Here's the thing though. When it comes to producing a specific physical result, not all forms of exercise are equally effective. Anything is better than...

Weight Loss Education and Exercise
This is BRAND NEW and exciting. I've been working on a new Weight Loss Education and Exercise Program for the past few weeks, and finally launched it officially yesterday. I still plan to add some more content, but already there's enough there to keep people busy for a couple...
IIFYM vs other weight management strategies
First off, conventional crash / starvation dieting. We all know by now that this doesn't work. You might even know this from personal experience. By definition, when you talk about "going on a diet" the implication is that it is a temporary measure, and a temporary measure can only produce a temporary result... unless you count the actual long term...
More truth about diets
A controversial subject I have been writing about a lot lately. But when you think about it, diets have been a hot topic for decades now... ironically when I think about how long diets have been a hot topic, it seems to coincide with the amount of time concern over the increasing...
When is a trainer not a trainer?
So I network with a lot of trainers and for that matter I've been rather fortunate to have become friends (online or in real life) with some truly great, successful, well known and even famous trainers around the world who I've had the opportunity to learn from. It's really great to have other people who are just as passionate as you are, to share...
Is personal training too expensive?
Short answer: No.Personal training is NOT supposed to be cheap. A good personal trainer is equal parts sports coach, nutritionist, psychologist, business person, marketing strategist, and health care specialist. You only become a good trainer from years of study, practice, self...
There is no reason you can't get into great shape and stay there, IF you actually want to.
I was thinking about reasons a person might fail to lose weight, get into shape, or whatever you want to call it. I posted the other day about how the people who actually want results, get results and how lately I'm getting a lot more legit clients who actually do want to know how to achieve their goals. These people actually follow my advice...
People who WANT results, GET results!
Something kind of awesome has happened in the past 3 or 4 months. I can't put my finger on what I've been doing differently, but there's been a change in that I'm attracting more and more of the people who ACTUALLY WANT RESULTS.
In the past... not all of the time, but some...
"Starvation Mode": fact or myth?
Quite a hotly debated subject it seems!Well... if you've never heard of it before, the theory of starvation mode is that if you do not hit a certain minimum level of calories, your metabolism slows down and your body will start to store more fat.It's a subject of contention because, well some would say "you cannot put on fat unless you are eating MORE...
Body Image & Pressure on young adult males.
So, I wrote a few blogs over on my Personal Training business site about body image issues with young females and in particular this notion of the media "pressuring" them to be thin which in my opinion is, well... garbage.
But rather than be redundant and repeat myself here, you can just follow these links to the entries I'm talking about. Apparently...
Getting into shape? Forget everything you've been told.
One of the hardest parts in helping people to successfully lose weight and get into shape is in overcoming all the misconceptions they have and bad information they've been given (usually by other people who are not in very good shape and in no position to be advising anyone!)So,...
Scam of the week, volume 1: Kevin Trudeau
So, a friend on facebook who happens to also be a health and fitness professional showed me this. I hadn't heard of the guy before but apparently in the Americas he's sold a lot of books about "health" and stuff. Eh, just watch...So... it's like I keep saying. The more outlandish and outrageous the lie, the more people will buy into it. So you come...
Hardcore Holistic: Priorities and Responsibilities
That's me being a good uncle!
This series of entries is about making “an uncompromising commitment to health and happiness” and what I mean by this is that people need to make their health and happiness a top priority in life, and take a hardcore, uncompromising attitude towards...
Hardcore Holistic Training
You still gotta train hard!
What's great about the holistic approach to training is that as you might expect, it implies that factors such as good nutrition are considered vital, and that the desired outcome is for general well being on all levels encompassing physical fitness,...
What IS Holistic Health And Fitness?
The word “holistic” comes from the concept of Holism, which could be described as viewing any system in it's entirety as a whole, rather than as the sum of it's components. In modern usage the word is mostly used in the context of Holistic Health, as well as in relation to so-called...
Hardcore Holistic Health and Fitness, introduction
I'm about to post some new articles here, taken from an e-book I wrote some time last year about "The Uncompromising Commitment To Health And Happiness". Really, what else is more important than your health and happiness?
Are you sitting comfortably? Then I'll begin.
First;...
Resistance training should be your top priority.
How do you build a lean, toned and attractive body?
Oh... like this:
Just a little promo for my brand new Online Personal Training Package. Dieting alone won't do it. Cardio alone won't do it. There's not much point going from being fat, to being skinny fat. We want to be firm and toned, and attractive. You gotta do some resistance training! There's...
Diets are such a scam
I made another video talking about diets and why they're a bunch of garbage. People are always telling me about this diet or that. Some fad diet their friend went on and lost a heap of weight at first, but couldn't stick to it and put all the weight back on and then some. When I was a corporate square I'd watch people going on ridiculous starvation...
Diets Do Not Work: No Bullshit No Excuses
I made a little promo video for my No Bullshit, No Excuses weight loss & body aesthetics program, available exclusively through my website.
Like it says in the video, DIETS DO NOT WORK. If your friend lost 8kg but then put 12kg back on, that means the DIET DID NOT WORK, get it? You want to lose the weight, and then keep it off, right?
