What Does Benjamin Button Have to Do With Your Fat Loss Results?

Last week I got to see the Benjamin Button movie.

I had been waiting to see since they first started promoting it and I can say that I wasn't disappointed.

It was a cool movie that was definitely different to the usual story. It was worth it just to see how the age (and then make younger) Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett.

Now, before I become too much a movie critic, let me explain what Benjamin Button has to do with your fat loss results.



If you aren't familiar with the story, Benjamin Button was born an old man who gets younger instead of getting older like we all do.

That alone got me thinking.

It is exactly the same as what training can do for you.

Make you feel younger.

Make you look younger.

Sure, you may never technically see the clock wind back as you become a teenager again but surely that's a good thing right!

What you will notice when you get that training routine happening is that you have more energy no matter how old you are. You will be feeling years younger.

I know personally, at the ripe "old" age of 31, I feel better than I did as a 21 year old, and I am in a LOT better shape than when I was running around America drinking beers and eating pizzas.

You can actually reverse your aging process by simply taking action and starting (or resuming if you have been out of the game for a while) your fat loss regime.

What's the best way to start taking action?

Take one small step at a time.

Make today better than yesterday and repeat.

Implement one small change this week such as cutting out your cheat foods that you ate all festive season.

Next week add another improvement such as drinking more water.

And so on and so on until you have the fat loss results that you deserve!

It really isn't rocket science.

People just make it seem harder than it really is.

The hardest thing is just taking action right away.

So, what are you waiting for?

Make it happen today NOT tomorrow.

How Far Did You Come in 2008?

The year is almost at an end.

Hard to believe but true.

I hope you've had a productive year like me and haven't just let it slide by.

So now for the $64,000 question.

How Far Did You Come in 2008?

Before the year finishes, let's take an early look back at what you have achieved.

I challenge you to take a minute to reflect.

1) What have you accomplished that makes you proud?

2) What have you done that has brought value to your life and the life of others?

3) Finally what are you grateful for. This continues on my previous posts around Thanksgiving time.

I'll take the reigns and show you how it's done.

1) I am proud of

- helping some great people get some great fat loss results this year

- finishing my online Aussie Fatblast Success System

2) I've given people the belief that they can succeed in their own personal fat loss challenge

3) See my two gratitude posts to see what I am thankful for in my life you can read the two posts here and here.

The challenge now is for you to go through the same simple three steps.

Finally what are you going to be celebrating come December 31 with a cold beer or champagne glass in hand?

I'll be celebrating a successful year and look forward to making 2009 an even bigger and better one.

I hope that you are a part of it so we can do it together!

Supermodel Diet tips

Karolina Kurkova.

It's a name that I must admit I've never heard of before, but if you are into the modelling scene you may know of her.

Anyway, I read in the paper this morning what her nutrition tips are to keep her looking the way she does.

Let's check out Karolina's diet and see what she eats - or if she eats anything at all!

As quoted in todays Daily Telegraph:

"I eat very clean and fresh. I wake up and I have a green juice with a little protein powder and glutamine mixed in. Then two hours later I have two hard-boiled eggs," says Kurkova...

"Then, two or three hours later I'll have 10 nuts, like walnuts or almonds. Then I'll have grilled fish with vegetables and salads. And then again, a green juice. I just keep it simple."

The Czech Republic-born supermodel's preshow ritual is a little more intense - no carbs, no wheat and three hours of exercise a day.

So what do I think?

Surprisingly, it doesn't look too bad for a supermodel as they are notorious for not eating anything apart from a celery stick a day.

The best part of her diet is she goes wheat free before a show - the perfect way to increase your fat loss results is to go wheat free. If you read anything that I produce in the Aussie Fatblast manual.

The downside is she trains for 3 hours a day probably doing long slow, boring cardio.

That is a no-no when you are looking for the best fat loss results.

You should know that interval training is the number one way to burn your fat off and keep it off.

Karolina also has a thing for nuts. Even if it's only 10 of them, at least she has the right idea.

The no carbs thing?

Sort of right. You don't want to eliminate your carb intake but you want to minimise it if you are looking to look amazing.

So, all in all, she is going alright on the food front - plenty of fish, eggs, vegetables and salads.

Who would've though the food diary of supermodel Karolina Kurkova isn't as bad as you would have imagined.



Finally, you have probably heard me talk about the 12 Days of Fitness a bit lately.

In case you missed it and have been hiding from me, it is the world's biggest fat loss and fitness giveaway.

To get your access all areas pass you just need to sign up right here.

Your Mission on Earth

Today is my mum's birthday so Happy Birthday mum, have a great day!

Yesterday we had a nice lunch at my sisters house with all the fam around and my sister had some really nice photos up of my dad.

I don't want to get all soft and mushy on you but it makes you take a moment and think when you see those type of photos, especially at this time of year.

I found this quote by author Richard Bach that really makes things easier to deal with.

It makes sense and if there is someone in your life that you are missing then I hope this helps:

“Here's a test to find whether your mission on earth is finished: If you're alive, it isn't”

Now onto some great fat loss producing exercises for you from a specialist Sydney Personal Trainer.

This video is one of the most effective fat loss exercises that you can do



Don't forget that the 12 Days of fitness gift giving starts on the 10th which is this Wednesday!

Make sure you've signed up for your free access all areas pass here

Remember, don't use the Christmas season as an excuse to slacken off your training routine.

Make it a great week!

What I Want to Be Like When I'm 85

One of my mates in the states - hey that's got a pretty cool ring don't you think? - Greg Justice posted this video on his You Tube Page.

Greg is the man when it comes to leading the way with client retention - he's had these guys for 20 odd years and that is not a rarity for Greg.

So check out this video and get inspired by some "oldies" that are definitely young at heart.

I can guarantee that these people will not be dying through a lifestyle related condition.

The best thing about exercising at this age is that their minds are healthy.

You can bet they'd run rings around people half their age and then some!



While I've got you here, make sure that you've got your name on the 12 Days of Fitness notification list - the gift giving begins in 5 days on December 10.

You will even be getting 5 of my best Aussie Fatblast Hotseat mp3 interviews.

Yep it's free!

It is the giving season, so 250 odd fat loss and fitness experts from around the globe have come together to give you our best tips and secrets for free.

Have an awesome weekend,

Show Me a Week in Your Life...

Did you enjoy your long weekend?

Hopefully there wasn't too many drinks while you watched Manly give the Storm a hiding in the Grand Final on Sunday arvo.

I know I appreciated my little sleep in yesterday morning - it was nice not to wake up to an alarm for a change on a Monday morning!

The words to fire you up for this week come from Author and Speaker Patricia Fripp

"Tell me what you say you want, show me one week of your life and I will tell you if you will get it"

I believe that I could ask you the same question and I'd be able to tell you straight away whether you are going to succeed in your mission for fat loss.

Am I right?

I'd suggest taking a minute or two and analyse where you are going now.

Is it getting you closer to your goal or driving you futher away from them?

I hope it is the former.

Finally, I was interviewed recently by Greg Hamlyn - founder of the Your Successful Weight Loss Teleseminar Series. The best thing about Greg's series is he doesn't charge anyone to get on board and listen.

Greg interviewed fitness and fat loss experts from around the globe and as one of the premier Sydney Personal Trainer experts I got a gig!

You can hear what questions I answered here:

http://www.yoursuccessfulweightloss.com/aussie/

In fact, it went down so well that we're going to do a Q n A again in a couple of weeks - which you will find out out once you sign up to listen to the first interview.

This won't cost you a red cent - so don't be shy - check it out.

How Good Is YOUR Personal Trainer?

Yesterday I saw my "favourite" Personal Trainer again.

It has been the first time in months that I'd seen the bloke, so I'd sorta missed him.

This is a Personal Trainer who has a big gut.

This is a Personal Trainer who sends his clients on a warm up jog around the block - we got rid of that sort of warm up years ago as a heads up.

I don't say this to be negative and bag people.

I just need people to realise that there are a lot of cowboys out there that can call themselves a Personal Trainer.

Some people may say there is nothing wrong with having a bit of a gut and this guy may well be the nicest bloke in the world. He just might be.

Well, I say there is something wrong if you have a fat gut and want to call yourself a Personal Trainer.

Now you know why I don't call myself a Personal Trainer. I don't want to be dragged down with people's negative associations with trainers in the past.

I am a Fitness Conditioner that conditions new habits in people - one of them being the habit of losing body fat and getting the fat loss results that they deserve.

I take pride in looking after my body. Sure I enjoy my cheat meals when I have them but my whole diet plan doesn't consist of cheat meal after cheat meal.

If you are asking - show me the proof Daniel, let me see your six pack abs, you will get to see 'em very soon - in fact on October 20 I've got some big news for you - and you'll get to see the efforts of my hard work - ha!

So, in the mean time, if you want to see a real Sydney Personal Trainer in action, you gotta make sure they walk the walk as well as talking the talk.
