have tried everything, but can’t stick to anything is “How do I do it?” Sound like you? I believe getting

started is the hardest, followed by that 4-6 month period when you have began to reach your goals and

the motivation to push even further can fade.

These 11 Keys Will Help

1. Have an end goal in mind. What specific and measurable results do you want to achieve and in what

time period?

2. Visualize everyday how you will feel in your new fit body. Also visualize how bad you would feel if you

don’t change.

3. Know results aren’t going to happen overnight. You didn’t get that way overnight, so don’t expect to

get back into shape in one week.

4. Realize that you will be slip up, but when you do, don’t have a pit party, get right back on the plan.

5.Get with a group of supporters. You have to change the environment you were in. You need to get

around fitter and healthier people and kick to the curb the ones who won’t support your new healthy

behaviors.

6. You have to have fun! Work hard and appreciate how are improving.

7. Test yourself once a month. I like a pushups, ½ mile run, plank hold, ring pull-ups, and body part

measurements. All of these will be able to be checked once a month and seeing progress can give

you motivation.

8. Knowledge is power,  applied knowledge that is. Study the experts and those who have been successful

at helping other people with what you are trying to accomplish.

9. Hire an expert. This one is huge. They can cut the time down quite a bit and get you results faster

because they have had more experience than you and have helped other people just like you. Also

they can provide you with accountability to stick with it. When you are paying money you will also

be more committed!

10. Incorporate weight training at least 3 days per week.

11. Eating right will be 80% of your weight loss success. You can not out train a bad diet!

I know just the program that combines ALL tips in it. Better Life Boot Camps will provide you with these

keys listed above. If you are ready to succeed—we are ready to help. Get enrolled and join in on the fun.

Like we say “Get Fit – Lose Weight – Have Fun”

I want to share some valuable lessons I learned in 2010 and will use to make it a

great 2011. And I’m hoping to impart some wisdom on you from my lessons so

you too can experience a great 2011 and not have to deal with some of these things.

CRABS

I know of three types of crabs. There are the ones you do not want to bring home!

Then there are the great tasty ones we love to eat.

And then there are those bottom feeding scum suckers that like crabs

will try to pull you back into the bucket they live in! You know those “crabs”

I’m talking about. The “friends” who tell you not to even bother trying to lose

weight because you always fail. The ones who don’t want you to succeed because if you do

they have no excuse not to.

Like real crabs in a bucket as you are climbing your way

out they will reach up and grab you and pull you back down to be with them.

I have seen many, and I mean many clients get pulled right back into the hole

they were so close to clearing the rim of, before their “friends” gave them such

guilt for not doing the Friday night scene any more, or not being the one they

could count on to share that pizza with. Well these are not friends–these are CRABS.

If they were friends they would be encouraging you and helping you in any way they

could to reach your goals. Tell you what to do with these crabs–toss ‘em into the

flipping water and don’t look back.

VAMPIRES

No, but close.

The vampires I’m talking about don’t suck your blood but they do suck the

life out of you. Negative, crabby, pessimistic, just plain miserable people.

Oh yea girlfriend let’s hang out!

You would be shocked how many people I see that allow these vampires

to drain the life out of them. And I mean allow, because it is real easy to

just say no and not let these vampires into your life. I am very careful

who I allow into my inner circle. They will not be dream stealers, vampires,

or the above mentioned crabs. I bet you pay more attention to your

computer getting infected with a virus than you do yourself downloading

junk from those you allow into your circle. Trust me–my ear and eye gate

is protected more than my desktop. Don’t let these life sucking vampires

into your life. In the famous words of Nancy Reagan “Just Say No” the next

time a crab or a vampire tries to get time with you.

Did I experience some crabs and vampires in 2010? Not in my personal

life but I did see this happen to some of my clients who were so close to

stepping into the place where they would never look back. So close.

So here’s to a great 2011 for you and may the only crabs you come across

are steamed and drenched in butter. And as far as vampires go– shoot

I won’t go to a movie to watch that junk so I sure ain’t going to hang out with

one.

p.s. but hey next time you see me ask me about them werewolves!!!

This is my friend and client Richard. 7 months and 115 pounds less fat. Where have you gone in the last 7 months?

Nothing else needs to be said.

Just do it.

Period.

Questions?

It seems like some of these self promoting fat loss experts think they have to come up
with some new fangled mumbo jumbo fad diet with special supplements taken at
specific times like low tide!

What a crock. People are so desperate to lose the fat that they will actually take the
time to read this stuff and send it to me and ask my opinion.

“Randy what about this new ‘super food’ that comes in a 5 lb. container and is supposedly
going to drop my fat and give me energy like a 20 year old?”

Come on, yea, a new category called a super food. Ah how about your run of the mill
meal replacement powder with a new marketing twist.

You want a meal in a blender? Put 3 ounce juice, 3 ounces water, simple whey protein,
some berries, maybe a tablespoon of natural peanut butter and some crushed ice. There
you go your own meal replacement drink.

Gang it’s not rocket science to get healthy–but it is a journey. There is so much information
out there on the internet, but the internet is like a bathroom stall, any one can write on it.
Know your source, check them out, and make sure they aren’t just trying to make a buck off
you but actually trying to help you. There are some serious marketers out there who know
the health industry in a billion dollar industry and they are marketing expert not fat loss experts.

In fact I follow some info marketers and they tell their clients that they are not fat loss experts
they are marketers!! Oh really?

Well that is my rant for the day, sorry about that.

On a side note 2 things.

1) Last week I celebrated my 13th wedding anniversary and I am a blessed man to be married to
my wonderful wife. I must say I am truly blessed.

2) Thursday the 29th I go in for surgery on my right knee. 6th one on this knee and a bigger one
that just a scope to clean things up. This one is a preliminary for a total knee replacement.
Appreciate any prayers for a successful operation and a super natural recovery. I will keep
you posted on the results this weekend.

Have a great prosperous and healthy day tomorrow and share a smile with someone.

See You At The Top,

Yep. July 19th I have my official consultation to set up with the Dr. to have him
replace my knee joint and give me back a quality of life I have been lacking for
some time.

Now I have put this off for 1 reason—
Fear. Fear of having my leg cut in half and have a fake joint put in. Every one
is so happy that I am finally doing this. Easy for them, I’m the one getting the
surgery.

Fear of actually finally getting this done, fear of being put under, fear of it
not turning out right, fear of being off work too long and financially not being
able to sustain paying our bills.

For me getting this surgery is like many people putting off what they know they
need to do to get healthy. They know they need to eat healthier and also start
an exercise program. And like my new knee this has to be a life long decision.

You see a healthy fit life isn’t a 6 week program, it isn’t trying to eat right, and
it isn’t going to give it a shot. It is adapting a new life style and making adjust-
ments along the way.

Many are afraid of change. Many are scarred of success. When they do achieve
that fat loss and drop 3 sizes they are scared of people expecting to see them
fail and blow back up which is the scenario for many.

Well just like me if you want to succeed you have to put your business out there
so you know people are watching. Now here is the mindset you have to have once
you take that leap and put your business out there for every one to see. You have
to know there is no turning back and you will succeed-no ifs, ands, or buts-period!

So I challenge you to let your friends know what you are doing, you will quickly find
out who your real friends are. If they encourage you great, if they ask why you know
you’ll just gain the weight back or you won’t stick with the exercise-get some new
friends.

Like me, you need support and encouragement. You need people in your corner to
help you take that turn in the road where there is no tuning back. This is it, you
have made the decision and it’s time to move forward.

So as I embark on having my knee replaced and getting my life back I encourage
you to get on the road to a healthier you.

I am here for you and many others are also. So time to get going and to never
be where you are today again.

I will keep you posted on my surgery and will document my recovery and progress.
I will take pictures and also post those. Why? Because by doing so I am being
accountable to thousands. I suggest you do the same and draw a line in the
sand and find yourself some accountability partners to help you on your journey.

First I have been working on a book I will soon have out laying out in simple terms how it really is
easy and not complicated at all to live a healthy and fulfilled life. This book will blow the lid off of
many so called experts who try and sound like they just discovered a new supplement or diet that
will totally revolutionize the world of fat loss. These come around every 6 months or so from all the
internet marketing fat loss experts who all pull together and promote each other’s material. For profit
of course and also so when they take their turn every one will promote them. Interesting isn’t it how
one month they come out with the best plan and 5 months later they are promoting their friends plan
as the newest and best plan. Quite amusing if it wasn’t preying on the emotions of those trying to lose
weight. I expect to have the book done by September and available before Thanksgiving.

I also took a side road in my career and added a component that fits perfectly with what I have
been doing for over 30 years–that of helping people be healthy and fit. I have been working with
people to become financially healthy and fit also. I have actually been helping people secure their
retirement so as they age and live a healthy life they can actually afford to enjoy those retirement
years. So this new addition to my life’s path is a great addition to what I already have been doing.

Another factor that has kept me from posting is we have experienced a nice growth in our fitness
boot camps and with the added number of women comes the responsibility of giving them every tool
I can to make their efforts a success. I have been going over their food journals, answering questions
through e-mail, and even doing phone consultations (all of these they get when enrolling in our boot camps).

I have also been nursing my injured knees and thigh! It has gotten to he point where I have decided
that it is time to have my right knee joint completely replaced. This is the knee that had a wall fall on
it in 1989 and was told then I need to have it replaced. Well I have put it off up to now but my quality
of life is not where I want it. I am in constant pain, cannot go for walks with Brenda in our back yard,
cannot pedal a bike, actually Brenda has to help me put my pants on and my socks and shoes!! Yuch,
God bless her but this is unacceptable and can be fixed with a new joint. So I am scheduling this for
around Labor Day so I won’t miss much as we will be taking a break then for 3 days any ways. Also
by getting my right knee repaired I will be able to finish rehabbing and strengthening my left leg that
was totally repaired last summer. So come fall you will have a new and improved Randy. Yea.

Now a bad note, because of the inactivity I have had since my surgery on my left leg I have gained
40 pounds!!! Whoa–how did that happen Randy? Well, inactivity, depression, and having a history of
being obese it was the perfect storm. But as of June 14th I will be embarking on my regimen that I use
for everyone else who is limited in physical activity and I will journal it here for you to see so you can
see how simple it is and how effective it is without being able to do countless hours on the bike or
treadmill. Actually I cannot do either one right now.

So welcome back, hang on, and let’s go on this journey called life together and slay those dragons
and fend off those fiery darts that get thrown our way.

Do you want to improve your energy?

Do you want to improve your mental performance?

Do you want to improve your physical performance?

Do you want to improve your strength?

Do you want to lose weight?

Do you need help with digestion?

Do you suffer from headaches and dizziness?

Do you want to detoxify your system?

Do you suffer from memory loss?

Well if you answered yes to any or all of these questions I have the remedy for you.
Now I am no snake oil salesman like many out there. I am not peddling the latest newest
greatest meal replacement powder. (That name should tell you a meal is something that
you shouldn’t replace)

No, I am going to give you free advise and tell you where to get help for free!!

Believe it or not one, yes one most important supplement can help with ALL these
things! And the cost will surprise you.

It’s actually going to make you think I’m pulling your leg when I tell you what this one
thing is.

Now remember, please do your own research, I want you to check out everything
I or anyone else tells you. But I have nothing to gain by sharing this with you except
helping you gain your health and goal and maybe fix a problem for you.

By now you have to be wondering what is this magic potion that I am going to tell you
about. So without further wait……………………………………………………………….

WATER!

Yep good old H2O. This is one mighty important thing that so many people are
lacking in. How do I know–I have been dealing with helping people for 32 years.

Unless you drink half you body weight in ounces of water you are suffering from one of
or many of the above. If you weigh 200 pounds you need to take in 100 ounces of water.
I have had people tell me that that is a lot of water, so I tell them to lose some weight
and they won’t have to drink so much. Gotta love my humor.

So there you have it folks. The number one “supplement” you need is good old water.

In fact you can’t live without out it and can’t live life to the fullest without taking in
enough of it.

Till next time –drink up.

So without further delay–here are 7 mistakes many make in their quest for fat loss that us fat loss
experts know can hold you back from losing that fat.

1) Too Many Carbohydrates.
I believe in the careful intake of complex carbohydrates. I am a proponent of low carb diets, but I know this is not a lifestyle for many to live. So I have clients take in enough carbohydrates(carbs) to fuel them, and not more than is needed as this will lead to the extras being stored as body fat. Most people simply do not train hard enough to justify a massive carb intake. A carb intake of 5 servings per day and aim for 30-50 grams of carbs per meal to shed fat is a good guideline. Start at a higher intake such as 50 grams of carbs per meal. If you lose weight, continue with 50 grams per meal. If you fail to lose, drop to 40 grams per meal, and so forth, until you hit the right amount. Most of you will not need more than 30 a meal. Consume all carbs at meals with protein. This is another fat loss expert truth.

2) Too Much Protein.
When eating to lose fat, carbs should be slowly reduced. However, many of you take an overly aggressive approach in hopes of creating an overnight miracle and cut back too far on the carbs. When you restrict carbs, your protein intake needs to increase. But over indulging in too much protein can also prevent fat loss by contributing to too many calories. As a rule, shoot for 3/4 – 1 gram of protein per pound of lean body weight each day. Don’t kid yourself and think you need more protein as if you are a muscle monster.

3) No Late Night Carbs.
As the day wears on into the evening, your metabolism slows down. Carbs eaten at night are less likely to be used up as fuel and are more likely to be stored as body fat. I have my clients taper down each meal so be dinner they are only eating green fibrous carbs and no complex carbs. A good dinner is lean protein and a fibrous carb. As I say “Lean and green”. You do not need the carbs to watch t.v. at night!

4) Skipping Breakfast.
Want to get lean and eat a lot? Have a great breakfast. Of your 4-5 daily meals, the one that is least likely to end up on your waist, thighs and hips is breakfast. In the morning, muscle glycogen stores are lower than during any other part of the day. When glycogen stores are low, your body’s capacity to take carbohydrates and store them as body fat is hampered. I like the car analogy–you fuel up in the morning
for the daily commute, but when you pull into the garage at night you don’t need the gas because you
are parked in the garage (or recliner).

5) Too Much Cardio.
We love the commando cardio kings and queens who perform 1-2 hours of cardio a day. (You know you’re out there!) You will send your body into a tailspin, a state where the “starvation hormones” secreted by the body skyrocket (it’s your body’s survival mechanism, a response to too much exercise!) causing fat cells to try to hold on to everything! Moderate cardio is the way to go. Five to six 30-40 minutes sessions per week is all that it takes. Any more than that and you run the risk of losing precious muscle, and we know if you lose muscle you will slow down your metabolism, and guess what–you’ll gain fat! This is why I cringe when
I go into a big chain gym and see all the sheep lined up on all the cardio equipment and bragging to each other how much cardio they do. Like it’s a badge of honor – when actually it’s a lack of knowledge.

6) Never “Cheating” on Your Diet.
You all know where I stand on this one. This is this fat loss experts weapon of choice. Have one meal a week
and let loose and satisfy your cravings, it’s helpful in losing weight. This is because constant dieting will eventually slow down your metabolism. Strict dieting also takes its toll on you mentally, and can leave you feeling deprived. That’s a bad combo! Taking in a high calorie meal once a week not only provides a mental break from dieting, but helps you side-step roadblocks by preventing the body from entering a starvation state where the metabolic rate slows. It’s what I call a “cheat meal.” Notice i said “cheat meal” not “cheat day” or you could end up blowing an entire week’s worth of progress.

7) Paying Attention to the scale only.
The bathroom scale is not the holy grail of measurement of fat loss. You can also monitor a couple of other things, primarily energy and strength. If you’re losing weight and you have plenty of energy and strength, you’re losing body fat – guaranteed. If you’re losing weight, yet feeling really tired or are seeing constant drops in your training efforts during your workouts, then you’re likely also burning off muscle tissue. My two
measuring tools for fat loss—your pants and the mirror! Yep, if your pants are getting looser and you are looking better in the mirror–throw the scale out with the doritos and get on the road to a leaner, healthier you.

I hope these “7 Mistakes Many People Make” help you. As The Fat Loss Expert it is my job to give you all
the ammo you need on the war on fat. So now you are armed and loaded so go to battle and destroy the enemy we call fat.

I will probably lose my Bally’s and Gold’s Gym friendly status after this!

If you go into any big commercial gym you will see that half of the gym is dedicated to
cardio equipment. Bikes, treadmills, ellipticals and such. Why does a business dedicate
that much money and space to this equipment? Because the public demands it. Why
does the public demand it, because they have been DUPED into thinking that aerobic
activity is the answer to all their weight problems.

“What do you mean Randy?”

I mean that people have been buffaloed into thinking that if they get on the treadmill
for so many minutes every night they will “burn” the fat they carry and get that elusive
6-pack that they see splashed on advertising all over. Where did this myth come from?

Heck where did the exercise ball idiocy come from? That is a real winner in the world of
marketing a useless object. Where did the “work the core” slogans come from? They
came from people writing a book or selling something to make a buck–that’s where.
You know those fat loss experts who are selling their latest greatest new fat burning
method that you have to have. The human body has not changed–muscles burn fat
still to this day.

Listen, if you want to get lean build some muscle and move it. That’s right get bigger to
get smaller. Huh? Put on some muscle you either have lost over time or build some new
muscle and get it moving and use it. I am not talking about looking like The Hulk, I am
talking about putting a thin layer of muscle on you. Muscle burns calories just having it,
then if you start using it and moving it you increase the calorie burning action tremendously.
This will give you the fat loss you are looking for.

I can take an overweight person, never touch a piece of cardio equipment and peel the fat
off them fast, and still allow them to eat more than a person who spends their days watching
Oprah while pedaling away.

When I go from powerlifting at 320 to being fit at 230 I never once, not once, did any type of
cardio. The most I walked was from the couch to the bathroom! And I have done this many
times. And I now stay at 230-235 and still don’t do cardio. (injuries)

How did I lose all that fat? I moved the muscle I had and worked out 1 hour 3 days a week.

Will this work for everyone–if you have as much muscle as me it will.

Muscle burns calories more efficiently, so you can eat an adequate amount of food to provide
the body with nutrients that it needs, without the worry of gaining unhealthy body fat. Also
because you can only diet so low, as you do cardio until the cows come home, you will lose
muscle unless you feed the body and give the muscles resistance training to keep them. But
cardio kings and queens don’t, and as they lose muscle their metabolism slows and they have
to lower their calories even more, then more. Then before you know it they are deficient in
nutrients their body requires and then they are a real mess.

Am I against doing cardio? Absolutely not. It is heart healthy and great for your circulatory
system. Is it the magic to getting lean–hardly. But the fat loss experts that could care less
if you succeed won’t tell you this. Well actually they do care if you succeed, if you succeed
they are out of business. Shoot, take the cardio out of the gyms and you wouldn’t have
enough members to pay the light bill.

So when you go to a gym, remember you are going to a gym to build muscle. Yes ladies, you too.
Remember a paper thick sheet of muscle. When you go to the track you are going there to
run or walk. Use the gym what it was intended for and you will be blessed with the results you
are after.

Take this scripture to heart–Hosea4:6 “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge”

Listen up and learn and win at this game of life.

Here are some side benefits of weight training that you will receive also.

Weight training can increase your bone density. This will help you to prevent osteoporosis and prevent injuries.

Weight training increases body balance and body awareness.

You can enhance your physical appearance. Not everyone is blessed with proportionate body parts. A person can actually transform their body by filling out certain areas of their body with muscle. You can widen the shoulder girth, fill out the buttocks, reshape the legs and arms, fill out the chest area for more fullness, or widen the back to give the illusion of a smaller waistline. Everyone can have a balanced body if they choose to through smart weight training!(ain’t going to happen on a treadmill)

You will increase confidence and mental image.

You will feel alive! You will be so in tuned to your body.

This my friends is why I will tell you to weight train. If Richard Simmons is your role model of a body,
dance away. If not get lifting weights.

You know by me spilling the beans on this myth I am costing me and my wife
a nice income of money from the sales I could generate from my endorsement
of some of the junk out there. I mean this site is ranked #3 in the world for
“Fat Loss Expert” on google search. I have people from all over the world
who come to me for advice and answers to their problems so I am giving up a
lot of possible income from exposing this myth. But I must and I will expose it
for what it is so that you can continue trusting me.

This myth is as old as the hills, yet it persists. It must be that the thought of
melting fat from any desired part of the body is so appealing, that you want to
believe it even though you really know this can not be.

In reality your body will lose weight wherever it wants to. It’s safe to say
that you’ll lose fat “the last place on, first place off’“. So if you put on weight
first in your thighs and then on your waist, then expect it to come off your waist
first and then your thighs.

Come on now, so if you have a fat arm you could do bicep curls all day long
and according to this myth your arm would lean out! What a load of do-do.

Just focusing on crunches will not make your midsection chiseled. Hey, ab crunches
are great, and you should do them, do them to strengthen your abdominal
muscles, improve your digestion, but don’t rely on them to get skinny and get
that much wanted six pack.

Now of course by me telling you this I will be hurting the sales of all those info
commercial snake oil sales people that are hyping the “latest, greatest,
revolutionary ab workout rotary-twisting-oblique crunching-six pack mania
developer”. Yes a lot of spokes people will have egg on their face and less
of your money in their bank accounts if you will just learn this myth is just
that a myth.

I might even classify this as a lie–much worse than a myth–as people are
espousing this on television and making money off people that are desperate
to lose fat and lean down.

Well I just got blacklisted by many in the industry who promote these products
and share in the profits of them. Yes I could sell these on my website and make
a nice little income as people trust me and know I am “The Fat Loss Expert”, but
I also have ethics and can’t lie to you.

One of the common ones I see in my fitness center and boot camps is the sweat
belts that people buy to “sweat the fat” off their stomachs. Heck if that was the
just go wrap yourself in saran wrap and lay in the sun and sweat away. Let me
help you here- sweat is water and fat is fat. And if you really really believe and
click your heels together you can go home Dorothy-another fairy tale!

A trim midsection will only come as a result of proper nutrition, effective cardio
and consistent resistance training. Combing the cardio with the resistance training
into what we call interval training is the fastest most effective way to blast the
fat and to drop the flab and get fit and toned at the same time.

So when you are channel surfing at 3a.m. and come across the latest new gizmo
to melt the fat off just your abs and give you that sexy stomach–do yourself
a favor and just keep clicking that remote.
