ALWAYS VOTE FOR YOU

Vote for this Guy
 

..with this 'guy' I mean 'person' - this can either be a man or woman

Because after seeing the news last night, with all this craziness going
on with the presidential elections.. I want to say:

.. that in all cases, all day, any day, every day, you should always first
vote for YOU

With the elections coming up, and Barack & Mitt in full swing with
their speeches and hysteric people in the audiences.. there are a couple
things you want to remember:

First and foremost, no matter who gets elected, it will always be up to
YOU to change your circumstances

If you ask me, the amount of money you will make in the next 4 years
is in no way influenced by whether Romney or Obama is running the country.

We live in a democracy where everyone gets their say.

We don't have a dictator, so in no way do they have such a direct
impact that you can't be your very best self, EVERY damn day.

2 quotes:

"For things to get better, you need to get better"

and "If it's up to be, it's up to me",

If you want something, go become THAT good that that 'something'
will come to you.

Don't chase it, simply attract it into your life.

(for the singles: this is solid dating advice if you read between the lines)

That's why James Bond never needs to pursue the girl, he's THAT good

Don't get me wrong, it's an amazing feat that we have elections in this
beautiful country, and we should all be grateful to be living here.

But sometimes I see people get so carried away with the 'news' that
they forget to care about what's important

What's important and REAL - is y.o.u.

One of my favorite speakers, Jim Rohn, says that once you realize this,
you have what he calls 'self enlightment':

"The best way you can care for someone, is to care for yourself. The best
gift you can give someone, is the gift of your own personal development.
If you become 10x wiser, 10x stronger, 10x more capable.. think of what
that will do to for your friendships?"

So wherever you are in life right now, I wouldn't count on ANY campaign
other than your own to make real changes.

And now that we're in September, with the kids going back to school, why
not start your own new routine off strong, starting today:

- Wake up 5 minutes earlier to give you more time for breakfast

- Say no to ranch dressing, and have fat-free cottage cheese before going to
bed

- Hang a picture of someone you want to look like on your fridge

- Don't spend more than 45 minutes working out. Intense
workouts and hill sprints.

- Watch the movie "The Guard" with Don Cheadle, it's hilarious

- Get a protein powder that's free of artificial sweeteners - I recommend this one . Then take it for breakfast and post-workout.

- Cut out the vampires from your life

- Eat a little less, exercise a LOT more

- Only eat Dutch chocolate. And just more Dutch things in general.

- Stop watching tv an hour before going to bed

- Don't go to Applebees, Chilis, or Olive Garden.. that's microwave food.


Remember, this is YOUR world - and with anything you want to accomplish
there will be difficulties. And I can guarantee you that no political figure will
be able to help as much as you can help yourself =)

HEY THIS IS YOUR BODYFAT WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING


How's it goin'! This is a letter from your ol' pal, your belly fat. We sure had a great time this summer, didn't we? Lots of good times, great food, and plain ol' sitting around eating and drinking too much. Well, I'm thinking about sticking around another year if you don't mind? However you might need to get a bigger pair of pants, as I was thinking about expanding my place down here. But do me a favor, avoid Princeton BootCamps I know you havent been for awhile
The last time you did that Princeton BootCamp stuff, I nearly had to look for a new place to live. I felt like the Wicked Witch of the West in the land of Oz. Did you hear me yelling, "Help me, I'm melting!"? Instead, pretend to workout on your own or go back to the gym. We all know what great results you got there. Sure I get a little sweaty, and the ol' brain up there thinks it's doing "a real fat burning workout", but it's never enough to melt me outta here. Another thing, keep listening to those experts who say resistance training doesn't burn body fat. Since research shows they're wrong, if you added metabolic resistance training to your program, you'd need to throw me a "going away belly fat" party. After each one of those Princeton BootCamp workouts you did for a while
felt like someone lit a match under our collective butt. I was
burning up down here!
Boy oh boy, I sure was glad you gave that up and went back to just lifting utensils and not dumbbells. Otherwise we wouldn't have been able to celebrate another summer together this year. **Awww, hugz** Sometimes I wonder, my ol' friend, what did you ever do in college without me, your trusted belly fat? Back then, you were probably one of those people that just couldn't
wait to get to the beach to show off your body, not like these days. Nope, stay in the shade and keep the cover-up clothes on, that's the way to go now. Besides, its a lot closer to the cold beer and the BBQ when you're sitting in the shade avoiding all the fun down on the beach. Well it sure was good catching up with you. I'm sure we'll be in touch more often (hard not to be in touch with I'm this big - LOLz), as long
as you stay away from that Princeton BootCamps workout routine. Sounds hot. Too hot.
Belly fat no likey thermogenic workouts. Brings a tear to my eye whenever I even think about that workout program and all the belly fat it's burned. Heck, it's fried more fat than a cook at a greasy breakfast joint. So again, if you want to keep me, your dear old belly fat, around for another year and another summer, don't go back to PrincetonBootCamps on Sept 10th- otherwise, its all over pal, and you'll never see me again. **Sad face**
Belly Fat says, "Do NOT use this workout" Your friend and spare tire, Belly Fat, your BF-BFF (Belly Fat Best Friend Forever) PS - Seriously DONT GO BACK TO PRINCETON BOOTCAMPS ON SEPT 10TH You now have 4 sessions to choose from.
6am-6:45
9:30am-10:30am
6:30pm-7:15pm
7:15-8pm
Evening classes are held to 10 participates only
Go to http://www.princetonbootcamps.com/ and reserve yourspot before its gone. You Can be the next success story
Go now and check out our new rates
...unless you want to see me, Thunder Thighs, Manboobs, Jigg Lee Arm Fat, and Luv Handles pack our bags and hit the highway. It will be a sad farewell, and you'd be stuck with ripped abs, gorgeous glutes, chiseled chest, and toned arms, and you know how much attention
those guys get from the opposite sex
.
Who needs it, I say.
Crazy, if you ask me.
PPS - Don't do what so many people have done.
They used Princeton BootCamps and look what happened to their
belly fat. Now please go get me some more comfort food like some
Mac'n'Cheese, mmmmm nom-nom-nom... "Hi Dave- First, I LOVE your program. In just under two weeks, I have already started seeing definition - that has been my goal for as long as I have been working out (a LONG time). Keep up the GREAT work, and thanks!" Susan Z"I lost 14 pounds this month and the weight is just falling off me. My wife says I now look like when we first met and I still have more to go. I can fit into my old jeans again which is a big deal for me. I just cut back on starches and bread and do your routine 2-3 times a week. I never thought in a million years that just 30-45 minutes of weight training followed by some intervals would get me such steady results. I even cheat a bit on the weekends." Billy Williams

PROFICIENT THE REST INTERVAL CAN BE DECREASED. THER ARE ALSO OTHER COMBINATIONS
DEPENDING ON THE EXERCISE.
THE CARDIO MACHINE THAT GIVE YOU THE MOST BANG FOR YOUR BUCK IS NOT FOUND IN THE
GYM. YOU CAN TAKE IT ANYWHERE AND ONLY NEED A 3 FOOT BY 6 FOOT AREA TO DO IT IN MOST
CASES. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN THE MACHINE I AM TALKING ABOUT IS YOU OWN BODY.
TAKE THIS INTERVAL:
40 SEC OF SQUAT THRUSTS 20 SEC REST REPEAT 8 TIMES
THAT IS ONLY 8 MINUTES AND YOU ARE DONE

IS WORKING OUT BUSINESS OR PLEASURE ?



I had a frank conversation with one of my long-term (and therefore successful) clients today about how most people view working out as "entertainment". (Most people will miss this - however, they go hand-in-hand - Long term and Successful.)
It was about viewing exercise as entertainment instead of an ROP. (Results Oriented PROCESS.)
Sure, your workouts should have some modicum of fun (did I just really use the word "modicum" in an email...?) but they should really be treated like business. ...
The business of getting results. So this bouncing around from workout to workout, from exercise to exercise has gotta stop if you ever even hope or dream of seeing some kind of long term results. And no, I'm not talking about losing one pound this week or adding an extra rep to your Press ladder. Those things are good, and are known as "small victories" but the results you're looking for are when you can look back over a specified period of time - say 3 or 6 months - and see MEASURABLE improvement.
Here's a case in point: I was doing loaded Parallel Dips today as part of my training session. I worked up to a heavy set of 3. Now in the past, I've really sucked at these - at least for the last 10 or so years. But lately I've been hitting Dips REALLY hard in order to be able to do a Muscle up
I've been looking for ways to make the exercise more difficult, so I'll do them in an L-Sit or with a pause at the bottom, or both. So today, I worked my way up to adding an additional 45 lbs to the Dips with legs out to make an L. (Much harder than regular position Dips.) Now, that's not something to write home about cause adding an 45 lbs to your Dips is really child's play in the world of serious strength. But the point is, it was a start. And it was seriously MEASURABLE. Why? Because I haven't been able to load up like that since about 1994 or so. I was able to do that by sticking to a few exercises and doing them consistently.
I wasn't doing them for the entertainment value or because I was bored. I'm looking for a result or a series of results and I'm on my way to getting them. And you can and should be too. It's really simple - so simple that most people are blinded by it. All you do is remember the Mantra - "The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing." You want to be entertained? Me too. Let's go to the movies or out to dinner with friends. You want results from your workouts? Me too. Let's keep it all business - be consistent and measure your results.
To do that, you need a plan, or better yet, several sequential plans to get you where you want to go. Here's where you make that happen in way less time and with way less distraction than you thought possible. Talk soon. . Remember, at the end of the day, NOTHING is sweeter than being able to ENJOY the achievements of your hard work, whether it's dropping 25 pounds or pressing the next sized pair of kettlebells or breaking 280 on the Bench Press. The only way to do that is to be "all business" about your workouts. Successful businesses run on plans.
If this makes sense. Join us on August 13th for the End of Summer Body Burn. I will be looking for you

LAUGHING AND 6 OTHER THINGS TO KEEP YOU HAPPY AND HEALTHY EVERY DAY



Laugh

Laughter is not only the best medicine, but it is one which you don’t need health insurance for and doesn’t require a trip to the drugstore. Laughter eases stress, reduces anxiety, improves your mood, takes your mind away from your troubles, and may even improve your resistance to disease. It is no accident that laughter is used in cancer treatment wards. It works wonders.

If you don’t find anything to laugh about you need to dedicate thirty minutes each day to watch a sitcom or part of a funny movie. I don’t care if it’s a dumb show or movie. As long as it makes you laugh, it’s good enough for me.

Change

This is how you move your life forward from what it is right now to what you want it to be. You change things for the better.

Each day, choose one thing which you want to improve upon, get rid of, or add to your life, your habits or your routine. Make one positive change each day. These can be small changes or big ones. As long as you keep changing things for the better, it doesn’t matter. Your life will improve tremendously.

Sleep

If you want to have energy to do the things you love you must give your body the rest it needs. You need to sleep sufficiently.

In today’s world we’re always looking for more free time to do the things we love. Sleep often seems like a nuisance, something that you want to do less of. However, sleep is crucial to your health. The health benefits of sleep are far-reaching. Sleep affects you mentally and physically, it is required for normal and healthy function and even plays a dominant role in any diet process. Don’t try to avoid sleep. It is one of the healthiest activities you should do.

Move

Your body thrives on movement. Moving keeps your muscles strong and helps you lose weight. I’m not just talking about exercising, but also non-exercise activities like gardening, playing with your kids or mowing the lawn. Sitting down all day is unhealthy and doesn’t allow you to fully experience life. To do that you need to Move.

Relax

Take some time to escape from the hectic nature of today’s existence and just relax. Sleeping is not enough. You need to have some relaxed waking time. This allows you to think clearly without being encumbered by all the obligations and distractions of your life. You can plan your future in calm way and also allow your body to unwind. Let the stress evaporate and you will find that you feel better, become more productive, and have more energy.

Take a few moments to meditate each morning, read a book with no noise around you, do some yoga. Just relax.

Love

This is really what makes the world go ’round. Love, whether for your spouse, your kids, your dog, your folks, or whatever, is what turns you into a better human being, what fills your life with purpose, what gives you energy and the will to succeed and be the best you can possible be. It is this incredible emotion that makes us into what we are. No life is complete without it.

Love is not just an emotion, it is a verb. We need to actively love the people in our life every single day. Spending time, investing energy, giving attention to them. This is what active love is. It’s not just good for them, but also for you.

People who love are less lonely, less moody, more positive. They have support systems to fall on if the need arises. They have someone to motivate them, to believe in them. Love makes the impossible possible and the difficult simple. Love actively and you will be happy.

These 7 verbs are not just words. They are ACTIONS you must take to make you happier and healthier. So, take ACTION. Do these 7 verbs every day and do them a lot. You will be shocked by how good they make you feel

HOW DO YOU PICK THE RIGHT FOOD PLAN TO REDUCE YOUR BODY FAT

HOW TO PICK THE CORRECT FOOD PLAN


1. Is it healthy?
2. Is it sustainable?
3. Does it empower you or enslave you?

However, before we get to those 3 simple questions, there is one major concept critical to our success...

Diet vs Lifestyle...

When we think about selecting a fat loss plan, we really need to think long term. Nobody really wants to put in all of the effort required to shed a large amount of fat, only to see some, all, or more than all of it regained. Until we realize that there was something about our previous lifestyle that created our excess weight, we may be tempted to do a short-term "diet" so that we can drop the weight and get back to "normal."

But our old "normal" is what accumulated the excess fat in the first place! So, we need to start out by realizing that the old "normal" must be replaced. We don't need a "diet". We need a "lifestyle" conducive to maintaining or desired level of fitness.

Keep the idea of finding a new lifestyle in mind as we discuss the following three questions to ask about a potential fat loss plan:

Is it healthy?

On some basic level, we all know that it is not really healthy to starve or eat junk food. We've heard for years the benefits of eating a well-balanced diet with a wide variety of fruits, veggies, and protein sources. Sure, there is a lot of conflicting information about what is best.

Personally, I think humans are well-suited to eat almost anything that does not eat us first. While there is a difference between what we can eat to survive and what we should eat to thrive, I think the ideal ranges are broader than most care to admit.

Taken with the realization that each of us is unique, I am certain there is no single ideal plan for everyone. But, there are plans that are so restrictive that they can easily be excluded as a realistic lifestyle options. Cabbage soup and nothing else? All you can eat grapefruit? The Twinkie diet? Such gimmicks might allow you to trim calories and drop weight for a few days, but you cannot thrive long term when restricting yourself to single foods.

While it is well beyond the scope of this article to detail what is and is not healthy eating, I do want to point out one more important point. The likelihood of failing to get essential nutrients increases when we eat less food. Taken to the absurd extreme, if we eat nothing, we are certain to be missing out on all essential nutrients. Knowing this, we should seek to make our reduced quantity of food possess as much nutrition as possible. In other words, the best fat loss foods are nutrient dense having a lot of nutrition for very few calories.

Takeaway: A good fat loss plan allows/encourages a wide variety of nutrient dense foods to sustain health.

Is it sustainable?

Can you live like this for the rest of your life? More importantly, can you enjoy living like this for the rest of your life? Will power and motivation have a way of coming and going. If your fat loss plan forces you to eat things you dislike and prevents you entirely from enjoying foods you do like, then when your will power and motivation fade, so too will your adherence to your fat loss plan.

When it comes to food selections, I've found a useful test. While they may not necessarily be enjoyed much at first, good foods seem to become more desirable the longer we keep eating them. At first I had a real aversion to veggies. Now, after months of healthy eating, I actually crave fresh vegetables! The opposite is also true. If your plan involves consuming a particular product day after day after day, you may grow to dislike that product. What then?

Takeaway: A good fat loss plan can be enjoyably followed to one degree or another for the rest of your life.

Does it empower you, or enslave you?

This last one is a biggie for me: Picking a Nutrition Plan - Freedom or Slavery?

I've been thinking about how pleased I am that I chose to adopt Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle as the core of my nutrition and fitness plan. In so many ways, Flexible Food Plan  from Princeton Boot Camps equips us for lifelong fitness success. Many other programs actually tie you down...

  • Special Meal Replacement shakes: What happens when you get sick of them?
  • Prepackaged diet center foods: What happens when your finances run low or you decide you'd rather not buy all of your foods from a single company?
  • Diet Pills: Even if they worked, how many bottles will it take to stay the course forever?
  • Liposuction: sure it removes some of what has accumulated, but it does nothing to prevent it coming back.
  • Bariatric surgeries (Bypass, reduction, sleeve, etc.): All require consuming small frequent meals - so why not just do small frequent meals without the surgery?

To me, any plan that does not equip me to sustain a lifelong healthy nutrition and exercise program is NOT a sustainable lifestyle plan. Assume someone eventually does invent that "magic pill." If that is your path to fitness, then you become a slave to that product. What if the price doubles, triples, or worse? What if the FDA finds a problem and halts production? Worse, what if that unintended side effect impacts your health?

Rather than becoming dependent on some company or product, look for plans that empower you to chart your own lean and healthy destiny . Not a single required supplement, not a single required stimulant, fat burner, or appetite suppressant. Just sound, time tested, fundamentals and strategies used by fitness models, bodybuilders and other physique athletes.

Takeaway: A good fat loss plan provides you with the knowledge and freedom to chart your own course without reliance upon any pill, product, or potion.
The Flexible Food Plan is only offered to members of PrincetonAdventure BootCamp.
Results have shown to be an average weight reduction of   UP TO 5LBS A WEEK.
