Insane workout and competition winners for great bodies

Where do I start this week?

It has been a real crazy week, from helping my good friend in Leeds out with getting him a programme and a meal plan to watching Jon Le Tocq doing his Goliath challenge on http://worldstoughestworkouts.com/

I have attached the video of Jon doing this, so if you have about 8 mins watch the video below, and go and have a look at Jon's other great workouts. He really is the real deal, and a nice bloke to go with it.

I also asked for feedback from our bootcamps, and the winner would get a free session. I got some really good ones, but 2 of them stood out so I gave away 2 free lessons

Here is what Mathilde had to say :
Didn't think initially that it would have such an impact on me but it really did. I
notice I lost a bit of weight (don't weigh myself so no idea how much), I look more
toned, and best of all I feel that I have a better posture which is probably due to
a stronger core body. And last but not least I changed my eating habits. I eat more
varied (thanks for the food tips, they were great!) and I'm much better in leaving
the crips and chocolates alone...while writing this there are 3 bars of 'communal
office' chocolate bars eyeing me on the corner of my desk!

The exercises both in the camp and the ones to do at home are great. I'm glad
there's a bit of variety in them as well each week which makes it more fun. And even
though most of the time I feel silly doing the games I do really enjoy them as it
provides a bit of a break from the exercises.

If you too want to have that great feeling, here is where to sign up :

There really is nothing else like it in Dublin at the moment.

Top five foods for weight loss, and some tips for saving money

I am listing my top fives in 3 categories, fruits nuts and vegetables.

What are yours?

These are the foods you should always include in your meals one way or another. I am coming on to meats etc in my next blog

Fruits

1) Pink Grapefruit
2) Apples
3) Blueberries
4) Kiwi's
5) Oranges

Vegetables
1) Spinach
2) Red Peppers
3) Broccoli
4) Onions
5) Asparagus

Nuts
1) Walnuts
2) Almonds
3) Pecan Nuts
4) Cashews
5) Pine nuts

All of the above are my diet every week, and they help me maintain a healthy balance of protein and carbs

Furthermore, if you eat all of the above and do your shopping at say Lidl or Aldi (they have organic sections now) you can save yourself quite a bit (I am in no way associated with either but have seen my shopping bills being cut in half) I also do some of my shopping here www.organicsupermarket.ie

Again, I have no ties with these but I ordered my first lot last week, and it arrived the next day. Very cool.

Also you can still sign up for the bootcamp and get that sexy body in time for the August holidays. Remember we are here for you for your health

Please comment on here with your top 5 foods that you think should make it...

Never give up on sexy abs

One thing we must never do, is give up.

On ourselves or others.

This is what we dont do at our bootcamps. Give up. Never. Even when we are in pain, which is the easiest thing to do.

But we also learn a lot about ourselvse




So if you are one of those people that never give up, join us at the bootcamp

7 easy tips for losing fat

I hope you will all take advantage of the nice weather and get out and about this week-end.

In the mean time, I have listed 7 easy tips for losing fat

If you’re hoping to lose fat, there’s a pretty good chance you’ve tried a lot of methods. Unfortunately, the vast majority of people who are unhappy with their bodies don’t succeed in their fat loss goals. That’s because they’re often usingstrange weight loss plans that can actually damage their bodies! If you’re in this boat, and you don’t know how to get rid of the fat while staying healthy, here are a few tips that might get you on the right track.

1. Begin your day with a clean, fresh glass of water. When you wake up in the morning, take one down. It will assist your body to get started as it will not be fighting dehydration. Besides, after you consume a glass of water you will not have to eat such a big breakfast. A glass of water triggers all the digestive fluids in your body and makes well lubricated. You are able to have your morning tea or coffee, just make sure to drink a glass of water after that. Caffeine dehydrates you and you need to ward off dehydration.

2. Have a glass of water while you eat as well. Take a drink after each bite and you will feel full more quickly so you can leave the table feeling satisfied without feeling bloated. Drinking water while you eat will also help your food to settle more quickly, which also helps you to feel full faster.

3. Consume fresh fruit and veggies that have high water content. They are foods like tomatoes, cantaloupe, watermelons, kiwi, grapes - you get the idea. All of those fresh and tasty juicy fruits and vegetables are beneficial for you. They contain around 90 to 95% water, therefore you are able to have lots of these and they’ll fill you up without adding the pounds.

4. If you are craving a glass of juice, drink fresh fruit juice instead of juice that has artificial flavors and coloring. It is even better if you can make your own fruit juice. Just be sure not to add too much sugar which adds to the calories.

5. Increase your fiber intake. Like I mentioned, the body needs a lot of fiber. So try to include in your diet as many fruits and vegetables as you can.

6. Be intelligent about what you eat. Don’t eat just to eat. Animals eat on instinct; people eat when they know their body really needs it. Don’t be an impulse eater.

7. Get a handle on the sweet tooth. It does not mean you cannot consume your confectioneries; but do not have them as a meal. Don’t forget that they will end up adding to an area that you do not want them to. Do not deprive yourself either, as after that you will eat twice as many as you should.

Great food for six pack abs, lose fat.

I want to talk a bit about the foods we eat, and I will lay out what I had for breakfast, and lunch. And also what I will have for a snack with the girls later. It is important, because the most important thing of staying fit and healthy is the foods we put in our mouth.

Sounds simple enough right, but you would be amazed of the amount of people that do not think of food like this.

Food is like petrol to your car engine, if you put dirty stuff in, the output wont be any good right?

So lets talk about the foods you should take in. Try and avoid anything that comes in a box. So breakfast cereals are a prime example of this. They are full of sugar to keep you craving them and make the taste sweet. No 2 ways about it

I got up this morning and made my power pancakes for breakfast with the girls. Very easy to make: 3 egg whites, oatmeal flakes, cottage cheese milk and some blueberries all mixed together. That makes about 6 medium sized pancakes. Serve with a bit of honey or some other berries. Delicious.

For my lunch I had a very simple tuna salad with onions, feta cheese, sugar snap peas (crunchy) and spinach. You have no idea of tasty it was with my olive oil and vinegar dressing. Took 4 minutes to make, so no excuses



As you can see it is more than enough to fill up a big lad like me, and it is all healthy stuff too.

This afternoon I am making chocolate truffles (with 70% cocoa mix) and we are having fruit smoothies. The girls loves them and I get to put healty stuff in to them at the same time..

My new hero Craig Ballantyne talks about these truffles a lot, so go to his site to have a look at what he does with Jillian Michaels

The bells, master, the bells.....

SO I have gotten a couple of new kettlebells, I cant wait to use these. Adam and I will start to use these in the bootcamps for the people who have been to a couple of the classes. They are fantastic for your legs, arms and core abs. They basically do everything!!

I have attached a picture of them, as they are my 2 new babies....

I will use them myself over the weekend, as I have a spare evening on Saturday


The blue one on the left is 12KG and the black on the right is the 10KG, they are a fantastic piece of equipment, and I am so delighted that I have finally bought them.

Everybody who comes to the BOOTCAMP (CLICK ME) gets the benefit of these too at some stage.

Until next time, keep the faith...
