Oprah Winfrey's Fatal Fat Loss Flaws

Are you one of the millions of women who sit on every word that Oprah Winfrey says? Or are you one of the many women who will go out and try something just because it has the Oprah Winfrey seal of approval?

If you are I hope you are not following her latest exercise plan to help her lose her unwanted body fat once and for all. Recently as I was having breakfast I saw a copy of Women's Day that my girlfriend had brought home from her Mums to read. There was a headline on the cover the caught my attention about Oprah Winfrey's latest diet plan and what she was doing.

That got me in. I usually don't read these type of magazines but I like to see what weight loss workouts the celebrities are doing these days and whether or not they are on the right track.

Unfortunately, I feel for Oprah. She is being led blindly by people who should know better. Apparently her trainer, Bob Greene, has Oprah doing 30 minutes of cardio exercise even though Oprah apparently "hates cardio" as quoted in the magazine and then trains a new body part each day. She repeats this six days a week.

I don't blame you Oprah, I hate cardio too! You know why? It bores the you know what out of me and it is pointless when it comes to fat loss results.

This approach in this day and age is great - if you are a body builder. Unfortunately, Oprah and millions of other people around the world today, are just looking for fat loss results. They don't want to compete in Miss or Mr Olympia contests. So why is she training like one? Or more importantly, why is her trainer, who should know a lot better, training her like one?

Rather than just be critical of what Oprah shouldn't be doing, I am going to give you the run down on what she should be doing.In fact, this is what anybody who wants to lose lots of stubborn body fat should be doing. Oprah Winfrey, or any person looking for weight loss workouts needs to kick start their sluggish metabolism to prompt the body to burn fat and to burn it fast.

Boring cardio is not going to make this happen, especially when you have a history of well-documented thyroid problems like Oprah has. The best way to boost the metabolism is to realise that she doesn't need to be doing cardio. She needs to be following some type of interval training and she needs to be doing lots of it.

A simple workout for Oprah might be power walking up a hill and walking slowly back down for a recovery. Repeat that step as many times as you can or until you reach about 20 minutes of work.

Secondly, Oprah needs to be doing strength exercises that will encourage her body to burn body fat and burn it fast. What does that include? Exercises that use as many muscles as possible during the same workout. Exercises like Squats, Deadlifts, Swings, Push Ups, and Recline Rows should all be a part of the training session.

It doesn't matter that Oprah may be on the wrong side of 50. She doesn't have to train like she is. I swear this type of approach to training will get your heart rate up and see you on the right road to weight loss. I have had countless amounts of success with busy clients and with my own training to ensure that this is the approach you need to follow.

Other Fitness Experts are with me on this too. My friend and Turbulence Training creator Craig Ballantyne even has written a number one best seller on Amazon titled "Just Say No to Cardio" which devotes a whole book to the topic!

Best of all, you don't need to train for hours each day as most of my clients are busy people, just like you I am sure. Our sessions take only thirty minutes or less! I would really love to see Oprah succeed in her challenge as it will be an inspiration to millions of women who follow her every move. If Oprah can get results, women around the world will think they can too. She needs to be their leading light but with her current tactics, it seems almost impossible for her to do so.

So c'mon Oprah, fire your trainer and start putting the right steps into place to ensure your training hours are productive and give you the body that you deserve.

Gratitude

I am watching a DVD as I am working of the Craig Ballantyne seminar that I went to last year.

It seems hard to believe that that seminar was a year ago.

So much has happened in the last 12 months.

One of the guest speakers, Dax Moy, is just talking about gratitude and I thought that was a pretty relevant topic considering that the US will be celebrating Thanksgiving tomorrow.

I really like the idea of Thanksgiving and I really wish that would have been the one American holiday that us Aussies had of embraced.

Unfortunately, for whatever reason, the idea never really took off here.

So this is a short list of what I am thankful for.

* First up, I am thankful everyday for being with my girlfriend Bron.



* I am thankful for the family environment that I grew up in and believe that my parents made me who I am today.

* I am thankful for the example my Dad set for me in life and in business even though he is not around to enjoy it now with me.

* I am thankful that I learned how important my family really means to me but disappointed that it took my Dad's passing to actually realise it.

* I am thankful that I live 4 doors up the road from my brother and his wife so I can spend more time with them and my little neice, Lucy.



* I am thankful that I have a great relationship with Bron's family and actually enjoy the time that I spend with them.

* I am thankful for the clients that I am lucky enough to have every day.

* I am thankful that I actually enjoy spending time with these people each session

* I am thankful that I don't have to train people that I don't enjoy spending time with

* I am thankful that I am in a position to help change people's lives and help them lose the weight that they deserve to lose.

* I am thankful for people like you who read what I write each time.

* I am thankful when I get a new subscriber to my newsletters.

* I am thankful when I get a sale and someone puts their trust in my Aussie Fatblast program.

* I am thankful that I have the opportunity to do what I love doing everyday instead of turning up to a job that I hate every day.

* I am thankful for having had the opportunity to travel to Florida last year to attend Craig Ballantyne's seminar which now influences the direction my business will head in.

* I am thankful for the opportunity I have had to be in Mastermind Groups with some amazing people who have taught me a lot.

* And finally, I am thankful that you have indulged me writing this list of gratitude and now I challenge you to do the same thing.
