Rage Against What Seems 'Impossible'

Unless you ve been living under a rock - you have probably heard about the new Xmas Number 1 for 2009.......




Rage Against the Machines 'Killing in the Name' beat the widely expected Joe McElderry's 'The Climb' . If you don't already know, Joe won this years X-Factor and had over 6 million people voting for him last weekend.



Simon Cowell is still smiling because 'Rage' are signed to Sony (associated with Cowell)



How did this happen? Millions of people voting for Joe McElderry every week, and yet a political-underground rock/metal band's older and expletive anthem makes Christmas Number one??!! Was this ever possible??!!!



Impossible is rarely impossible



Whether you wanted to Joe McElderry to win or not, or you hate the Rage song etc. is not important.




What is important, is the fact that people decided to take action and change something. People were not happy with X factor's hyped-up contestants winning Xmas number 1 every year and decided to try and change it. We know that Joe McElderry will do very well anyway - even if he falls by the wayside like many other X factor finalists.



The point I am trying to make is that, whatever happens in life - you can change it with MASSIVE ACTION. If you don't like something - do something about it! Jack Canfield (well-known author and self-development guru) says: You are 100% responsible for your life.



You are 100% responsible for your life! Yes, people have disadvantages compared to others, but the fact remains there is still time and space for change to something better. I have heard excuses like 'My parents were overweight, and that's where I have got it from.' They might have a slight disadvantage in that the fat accumulates in the same place.......but 99% of the problem is from poor eating habits and not enough exercise. There is plenty of time to make better food choices and do at least SOME exercise regularly.



That time is now.





Nothing comes from inaction - Do something.




My friend Richard Mckeating is hosting some January seminars, where he will guarantee you can drop a dress size, or you get your money back! Sessions are every Thursday in January from 6pm-9pm at the Village Hotel in Hessle, Priory Park.



Sessions are £25 each but the Guarantee covers attendees who attend all 4 fat loss sessions. I will be there to help give my knowledge and give these action-takers plenty to take home. Email me or ring me on 07762772671 if you are ready to change your dress size to a lower number. £100 to attend and your money back if you don't drop a dress size? Im sure you know someone - or you are that someone.



My Personal Training service goes Hand-in-hand with the fat loss seminars, and I am glad to be taking bookings for some services other than 1-on-1 sessions. Semi-Private Personal Training Sessions are getting more popular as a way to get the benefits of 1-on-1 training for a fraction of the cost. Also I took my first 30minute blaster session the other day and it was exhilarating stuff!! Many people are joining up to my free membership site for free articles too. Its all go!!!



The Bootcamps are about to take off bigtime in January, so get yourselves geared up for them! I am now offering a permanent Try-before-you-buy deal...........




On Saturday we rocked the Mens Outdoor Bootcamp with some serious winter weather work!
Check back here over the christmas holidays for the action!



Have a merry Xmas from me!

Is The Hull Bootcamp For You?

The Hull Bootcamp on Saturday was again filled with a ton (bodyweight sled pun anyone?!!) of effort, mixing some walking lunges, pull ups, with the the usual carrying stations and more.



Some figure-of-8's went down a treat! We will have to make them more regular than I have been doing :) .

What disappointed me a little was that some guys had put their name down to mix it up, but then didn't show. One guy did let me know just before due to illness, but for the 3 that were no shows - I couldn't help but think what the excuses were.

Was it the raining the night before? A few people at the Village Gym where I am mainly based said on the Friday that it forecast heavy rain and asked would it go ahead.

Eh? What do you mean? Of course the Bootcamp is going ahead! Has everyone turned to being a pansie in their cushty, air conditioned, £45+ a month gym?


The weather does not dictate your life.


You make your decisions and stick to your beliefs. This highlighted a major factor - and probably the most underated factor when it comes to making a positive change to your lifestyle:


ATTITUDE.


Your attitude is what will get you out of bed on those winter mornings where its p*ssing down outside and the warmth of your bed is just heavenly. Your attitude is what will get you up out of your seat after you have come in from work and sat down (ever wonder every same person has the same idea of doing their exercise straight after work? Yes, its often because its on the way and it time-effective; But very often, It is the fact than once you have come in from work, had a sit down, and know that you don't 'have' to get up - you won't!

On a side note, the best Strength and Conditioning Bootcamp in Hull is not for everyone.

If you can't handle the rain - then this is not for you. If you can't handle getting dirt on your new T-shirt - this is not for you. If you find the recline bike too much like hard work, This Bootcamp is not for you!


"I actually lift weights but I'm getting paid to model for this piece of equipment that I've never even used"

Once you work out what you actually want in terms of body shape, strength, work capacity and overall fitness, you can make your choice what to do with your time. It is your choice.
