Need some inspiration?

Hi,

Apologies for the lack of posts recently. But this should be a good one to get back into things again.

I recently (today in fact) had an e-mail from someone asking his mailing list for inspirational video's that he can show his students, which reminded me of a few that I've seen that really get you thinking.

Take a look, if none of these inspire you, then I don't know what will...










I hope you can draw some inspiration from these, especially this time of year when people tend to fall off the wagon with regards to their new years resolutions.

Stick with it. You can't win the game if you don't play. So if your goal is weight loss, better fitness, or ANYTHING - you need to do something about it!

Achieving your goals in the new year

It's that time of year again when we all start thinking about New Years resoltuions and what we want to achieve next year.

So I thought it'd be fitting to use this blog post to help you with what could be the most important thing you do all year!

Achieving your goals can be very difficult, with all kinds of obstacles to overcome, but the key to success is simple. Perseverance.

But first, you need to know what you're aiming for, and I think one of the simplest ways to succeed is using a method I learned from success coach, Brian Tracy.

And rather than me re-tell it, here's the man himself:




If you do this, and stick to it, I promise it'll have more impact than all of your previous attempts. Do this regularly and you'll be achieving all of your goals faster than you thought possible.

Good luck!

Smoothie recipe and Kettlebell workshop reminder

Hi,

A few people have asked about this now so here's the recipe for my personal favourite smoothie.

It covers just about everything - protein, good fats, carbs, vitamins etc.

1/2 cup (125ml) Milk - ideally soy milk
2 raw eggs (whole) - don't worry, you can't really taste these!
1/2 cup of rolled oats
1 banana
2 ice cubes
1 cup of frozen fruit of your choice (I use the mixed berry smoothie mixes you can get from most supermarkets)

Chuck it all in a blender and give it a good blast until it's mixed properly. I've played around with this to get it right so it shouldn't be too thick or too runny, and makes about a pint.

Depending on which ingredients you use it should give around 570 kcal, 26g protein, 77g carbs, 18g fat. Perfect for breakfast or a quick pick-me-up if you're short on time.


Kettlebell Workshop...

For those of you local to Dartford, I'm running a Kettlebell workshop on Saturday 28th Nov ('09), 3-6pm at Acacia Hall, Dartford.

You'll learn some of the basics with this bit of kit, that you can add into your training at the gym or at home.
