So here I am on a plane flying back from a seminar I just attended in Orlando, and to say that it was motivational and inspiring would be the understatement of the year! I had the opportunity to meet and network with many of top trainers and fitness business professionals in the country and one thing was for sure. Every single one of the leaders in the fitness industry has one main thing in common…a crystal clear vision of what their goals are for the coming month, quarter, and year.

This is also true of many of our clients who have achieved significant results with their training programs. They have a clear and specific vision of what they want, where they’re going, and how they’re going to get there. Those without a clear vision usually don’t end up reaching their goals.

So here’s my question to you:

What is your vision, specifically? Saying you want lose weight and tone up isn’t specific enough. Saying you want to “get huge” or “ripped” isn’t specific enough. “How much weight do you want to lose? What pant or dress size do you want to get into? How exactly do you define “toned up?”

Do you have a crystal clear picture in your head of what you want to look and feel like?

If you don’t have a clear vision, that’s ok. Take a minute right now and write it down, post it in a comment on this blog or on Facebook, just get it out there, it does not exist until it is written down!

Looking forward to your comments,

Have a great weekend everybody!

Tired of carrying around that spare tire around your midsection?  Make the following changes and watch your belly disappear!

Check it out:

1. Get a grip, and the gut will go! Most of us run around all day and are over worked, don’t get enough sleep, and get stressed out way too much, and too often. All of this extra stress causes our body to release an excess production of a hormone called Cortisol. Cortisol causes your body to hold on to fat and direct that fat toward our internal organs as a method of “self preservation.”  Reduce the excess stress in your life, and you’ll automatically reduce your cortisol levels and your body’s tendency to store excess belly fat!

2. Garbage in, Garbage…in? Are you on a steady diet of ‘nutritionally dead junk food?’ A diet high in junk food tends to lead to a clogged up intestine and colon. This drastically reduces your body’s ability to absorb all of the nutrients, vitamins and minerals it needs to help burn fat. A clogged up system also leads to that bloated feeling which is never comfortable. Bottom line: eat clean, get your fiber intake in and cleanse your insides of all that toxic waste!

3. Turn your metabolism on! If you’ve ever found your self wanting to drop a few pounds, the first thing you probably did was to “put the fork down” and drastically reduce your caloric intake. This will cause weight loss initially, but as you continue to starve yourself, your body adapts to living on fewer calories, metabolism slows down, and weight loss comes to a screeching halt! In order to reverse this, you need to eat foods that have a ‘thermic effect’ every 3 hours. Combining lean proteins and fibrous carbs will do the trick and reverse the downward spiral you’re currently on.
