Fort Worth Personal Trainers: ONLY for Those 45 Years or Older (PROOF: How Exercise Can Save Your Life)

Hope you’re having a great day!

If you’ve been paying any attention  to my programs the past few months

We recently launched our Fit Over 50  Project.

The reason being I realized nearly every day for the first 6 months of the year I had been sitting down with a consult if not at least 45 years or older.

Clients wanting to not just lose weight, but get their life back.

And the same questions kept coming up.

Are there other people like me or just a bunch of super-fit 20 year olds? (Yes, there are people just like you here)

Can I keep up? (yes)

I’ve had some injuries, or cancer, or car accident in the past that keep me from being able to _____ will it be tailored to me? (Yes)

And there’s more but that’s not the point of this newsletter.

It’s not about the first 12 weeks, 12 months or even 12 years.

It’s the impact that this program and exercise can have literally

THE REST OF YOUR LIFE

2 freakish statistics that you should know about exercise and aging.

70% of all aging is CONTROLLABLE.

Meaning you have a CHOICE when it comes to the effect aging will have on you, your quality of life, and the quality of life of your family.

Research has also shown a full 50% of ALL SERIOUS Sickness and Accidents after the age of 50 can be PREVENTED by regular exercise.

For example: How do you fix a broken hip? By exercising you improve your sense of balance and never fall in the first place.

This chart shows what people typically experience in the aging process.

A slow decay (that’s right decay) starting in their 40’s while their health and quality of life plummets every year.

It’s UGLY!

But it’s a CHOICE.

You can instead make up your  mind-and tell your body-to  live as if you were a fit,  healthy and happy fifty, or  even younger…

For most of the rest of your life.

You can stay on a plateau the final 20, 30 even 40 years of your life.

With kicking in a solid exercise habit NOW.

It can look something like this.

And for 95% of you it can look like this.

If you haven’t been there, you cannot imagine how important the difference is between these last two curves are and the first one.,

The difference is PROFOUND and it will shape the final 30 years of your life.

Just keeping it real here.

This Fit over 50 may be the most important project we’ve ever worked on.

I hope you want to be a part of it too.

Fort Worth Personal Trainers: Monday quick Tip: Getting Started What’s More Important Exercise or Diet?

One of the most common and important questions I get is what’s more important for weight loss and fitness?

Exercise or diet?

Click the VIDEO to Play

While it’s true 85% of fat loss is nutrition and only 15% is exercise..

When it comes to getting started what’s more important?

What research and we have found is that in the beginning if you HAVE TO make a choice.

Focus on exercise

Focus on establishing the exercise habit by concentrating on simply showing up that first 6 days, 6 weeks, 6 months, even 6 years.

And there are REASONS we recommend this.

First exercise is a keystone habit in that we know when you exercise consistently other good habits like improving your diet becomes easier.

Any person that’s exercised regularly for any length of time will tell you “It’s just easier to east well when I’m working out”

And it will be the same for you too.

If you are able to front load your exercise in the morning we’ve found EVEN better more dramatic improvements to diet over time.

What’s interesting is that when diets are improved there’s no correlation to improved exercise habits.

This really is a one way street.

There’s also the fact that for clients over 32 exercise also acts as a signal to the body to regenerate and renew slowing the aging process.

If you’re over 50 years of age you can even reverse the aging process by establishing an exercise habit.

On the cellular level exercise for those over 50 sends a signal to the cell to create more mitochondria and to regenerate telomeres.

These are all signs of young cells.

And you can trigger this with exercise.

So when DO you kick in nutrition?

As soon as you’re ready and you’ll know.

For my clients it’s immediately because we have the plans, expertise, coaching, and support to help them do two things at once.

If you’re on your own I’d tell you to focus on showing up and establishing the exercise habit first.

The dieting will take care of itself in good time.

Hope this helps you focus on what really matters and will get you the results you’re looking for fast.

Fort Worth Personal Training: Fit over 50 Beginner High Intensity Interval Workout (VIDEO)

Every research project EVER conducted on the effects of exercise on aging has shown a direct correlation between exercise and slowing the aging process.

And at times REVERSING the aging process.

With exercise you are completely capable of being YOUNGER next YEAR…

And while ANY exercise is better than NO exercise the very best results for increasing strength, increasing stamina, and most importantly improving your health on a cellular level…

The MOST dramatic improvements happen with High Intensity Interval Training.

HIIT is defined as short bursts of hard work divided up by short periods of rest.

It’s not the most comfortable type of exercise but it is the most effective and time efficient.

Just like any other exercise or exercise method you start with a beginner version and can progress from there.

As I’ve been working with more and more clients in the Fit over 50 Project this is becoming even more important.

But it’s JUST AS important and effective for beginner weight loss and fitness.

Here’s todays Fit over 50 Beginner HIIT Workout is just one of those tools.

Higher intensity, low impact, and scaleable (meaning you can make it harder or easier for yourself according to your current condition)

To follow along for the full 4-Minute workout just click the video.

This is the Tabata method a simple type of HIIT workout.

20 seconds of work
10 seconds of rest
8 Rounds

Beginner 4 Minute HIIT Workout

Yes you can make this workout MORE intense by one jogging in place instead of the high knee march and adding dumbbells to the squat.

This type of training is deceptively simple.

You look at it and you say “Oh hell I’m a couch potato but I could do that all day long”

Then you do it.

Fort Worth Personal Training: Don’t Forget the Second Step (VIDEO)

Seth Godin is a thought leader and business coach I follow regularly.

Wanted to share his post today.

He points out what most miss especially when it comes to losing weight, getting into shape, and improving our eating.

Don’t forget the second step

“The first step is learning how to do it.

Finding and obtaining the insight and the tools and the techniques you need.

Understanding how it works.

But step two is easily overlooked. Step two is turning it into a habit. Committing to the practice.

Showing up and doing it again and again until you’re good at it, and until it’s part of who you are and what you do.

Most education, most hardware stores, most technology purchases, most doctor visits, most textbooks are about the first step.

What a shame that we don’t invest just a little more to turn the work into a habit.”
-Seth Godin

Read this sentence again…

“Showing up and doing it again and again until you’re good at it, and until it’s part of who you are and what you do.”

That’s THE critical decision when you’re getting started and need to drop weight, get to the gym, change your eating habits.

Getting that CONSISTENCY is THE CHALLENGE.

The first step is simple.

For example to get started exercising you can go out your front door and walk for 20min.

The second step walking out that door 3 times a week for the next 30 years is the hard part….

And it’s nearly impossible for an adult with a busy life and kids, and spouses, and aging parents, and careers, and bosses, and unsupportive friends pulling you in every direction while demanding your time and brain power.

That’s the REAL Power of the 4th Pillar of the Body Firm Program.

#4 Providing the coaching, support, and accountability you need to get the results and habits you want.

Because you’ve got to get ENOUGH repetitions of your new habit so it becomes your habit.

This IS that critical SECOND STEP…

“Showing up and doing it again and again until you’re good at it, and until it’s part of who you are and what you do.”

The first step is easy.

It’s you taking the second step that makes all the difference.

It CAN be done and YOU can do it!

Fort Worth Personal Training: Monday Quick Tip Establishing the “Showing Up” Habit

“If it’s important you do it every day”
– Dan John

Why do most people fail to get in shape and stay in shape the rest of their lives?

Because they stop showing up.

Or if they do get started and life gets in the way (And it’s Guaranteed that it will) they stop showing up to focus on the temporary and passing crisis.

Here’s the thing.

If you want to establish and stick to your exercise routine you have to make it a priority.

And how can you tell if it’s a priority?

You show up.

And you can to show up as consistently as possible, you do it first thing in the morning.

(Go by any fitness facility at 5 or 6 in the morning and you will see the people who have MADE it a priority)

And if you absolutely can’t get it done first thing it’s done at the first available moment.

What you don’t want to do is put it at the end of your day, after everything and everyone else is taken care of because it…

Will

Never

Get

Done

If you’re overweight, out of shape, you get out of breath going up a couple flights of stairs, you avoid cameras and mirrors, you know you need to do something.

(And you actually MUST take action or VERY bad things will happen to you and your health down the road) Start with making exercise a priority in your schedule.

Start with making exercise a priority in your schedule.

And if getting to the gym first thing in the morning isn’t doable.

Get up and walk 20 min in the neighborhood first thing in the morning.

It’s easy it’s mindless and it’s insanely effective a helping you ESTABLISH the exercise habit.

Because you have to realize you have to establish the “showing up” habit before anything else.

And the easiest way to “show up” is to walk out the door first thing in the morning.

You’ll feel better, you’ll have done something for yourself, you’ll eat better throughout the day, you’ll be establishing the exercise habit that will improve ALL the other parts of your life dramatically.

Get up and get going.

I believe in you.

Fort Worth Personal Trainers: Monday Quick Tip: Simply Results Fast Action Meal Plan (VIDEO)

Todays Monday quick tip isn’t fun, easy or conventional.

But.

It is extremely effective when you’re NOT seeing results.

And you’re not absolutely sure about your nutrition.

If you’re hitting your workouts consistently, cleaned the junk out of your diet, and are still struggling…try this.

Simple Meal Replacement Plan

It’s old school, challenging at first, but highly effective.

The PLAN is

1) Meal Replacement for Breakfast

2) Meal Replacement for Lunch

3) Sensible Lean and Green Dinner

No snacking, drink a lot of water, no alcohol, one cheat meal per weekend.

(Define “sensible dinner” This can be a small piece of chicken, steak or fish, and your favorite vegetables.

Click Here=>100 Best Foods You Can Eat)

That’s it.

This thing works when nearly all other avenues have been exhausted.

It’s simple, hard to screw up and amazingly effective when applied.

You can test it out for a week but I think the best results are found at about 3 weeks.

Don’t get crazy and go over 4 weeks with this though.

It’s not a well rounded or sustainable nutrition plan.

It’s NOT supposed to be either.

I’ve had clients do really well on this under the right circumstances.

Clients that travel a lot, clients that can not think about food too much, clients that have been with me for a while.

It can be done right off the bat, but it’s a challenge.

So before you give up.

Before you get your “hormones checked”

Before you blame your “slow metabolism”.

Test this meal plan out for 3 to 4 weeks to give you some structure, simplicity, and results.

Simple, not easy.

But EXTREMELY effective.

Talk soon.
