Every woman on the face of the earth wants to know “How can I lose my stomach?”  Every time I go into WalMart I promise you before I get out of the door someone will come up to me and ask me how can they lose their stomach.  Some women will be sure and say that their stomach is all they want to lose.  They will be sure and tell me that they don’t want to lose their butts.  Ladies, I have to tell you that you CANNOT just lose your stomach.  You want your body to be toned overall.  Some ladies think that because they have a big butt this makes them look good or it’s what men like. 

When I am approached with this million dollar question I always follow up by asking them what are they eating.  Most of the time when I am in WalMart I can see their grocery cart and it is full of junk!!!  Please hear me loud and clear on this one— it boils down to NUTRITION!!!!  There is no way around it you must eat right.  Nutrition is 80% of your body composition.  If you tell yourself that eating ice cream isn’t bad you are telling yourself a lie.  That sugar you eat will settle right into your mid section and will be there to welcome you the next morning.   I get asked all of the time “How did you get those abs?”  Well trust me it doesn’t come from sitting on the couch and eating ice cream.  I work hard to look the way that I look.  I eat right and I exercise and it’s just that simple.  No magic answer  or quick infomercial here just the truth.  It is all a combination of consistency and dedication. 

So the next question of course will be what should I eat?  Now is a great time to go to www.healingcharlotte.com and register for your free grocery report.  This report provides detailed lists of sample menu plans and things you should look for when going to the grocery store.  If you are interested in how to make an overall change with your body by changing your nutrition we can do that here at our studio in our nutrition coaching program.  If you are interested please call 704-258-9844 to schedule your appointment today.  Until next time train hard and eat healthy!

We all sabotage our lives in one way or another whether it be in our relationships, financially, or our own physical health.  Sabotage does not equal one’s intelligence level but it does equal your belief system.  You are exactly where you are in life because YOU believe that’s where you deserve to be. 

Now you all may think I am getting on my soap box but it’s true.  Many of you may be very unhappy with your situation right now for whatever reason.  But may I ask, how is it that you got where you are at this very moment?  What role do you play in your unhappiness?  How can you change your life?  The answer lies totally within your belief system.  I am a huge believer in motivating myself with affirmations that I post all over my home.  As a martial artist and a natural bodybuilder, I have to be mentally strong.  I love a great challenge and I tend to enter competitions where some may think I am reaching too far out of my zone.  I can’t expect for the judges to believe in me if I don’t believe in myself.  If you have tried  something repeatedly and failed, then subconsciously you are believing that you will fail before you even try. 

Okay enough of that and lets move on to solutions.  As you are reading this you may be asking HOW do I succeed?  The first step is to realize how you are sabotaging your own success.  Recognize that you are responsible for your own successes and failures.  Begin shifting your mindset and focus only on the positives.  Have you ever been around someone and everything they say is negative?  It’s usually a draining conversation and you may feel mentally exhausted after talking with them.  Surround yourself around positive people who will be encouraging and positive for your life goals.  I can tell you that one place you will find this is at lancaster womens bootcamp or charlotte womens bootcamp.  These women in my fitness bootcamps are so positive.  They are a great support network for each other as they show support, encouragment, and accountability for each other.  You can find more information at www.healingstrengthbootcamp.com 

Start building your confidence by setting specific goals and taking baby steps.  Try not to focus on the goal itself but the steps it will take to achieve your goal.  Remember that it is the steps you take in life that will ultimately lead to your success. 

When you overcome the barriers in life that you place on yourself, the rewards you will gain are unimaginable.  You must have a strong belief system and know that YOU are ultimatley responsible for your happiness!  Until next time, Train Hard and Eat Healthy!

I am sure that most of you have been glued to the news and watching all of the news releases regarding the swine flu.  President Obama addressed the nation and encouraged everyone to go to their doctor immediately with any signs and symptoms.  As a resident of Charlotte I have been raising my awareness by watching the local news to find out the latest.  I would encourage you all to follow the center for Disease Control at www.cdc.gov/ for the latest news on this crisis.  A few tips to make sure you are avoiding germs as best you can is to ALWAYS wash your hands when water is available.  If no water is accessible make sure you clean your hands with an alcohol sanitizer. 

Now I want to focus on your immune system and why it’s so important to your health and wellnes.  How many times have you and a friend been around someone who who was sneezing and coughing?  A few days later you come down with sickness and yet your friend who was exposed to the same germs remain perfectly healthy.  The difference is the power of the immune system.  The primary role of your immune system is to protect your body from bacterial viral infections such as colds and influenza, parasites, and microbes.  It creates a barrier that prevents bacteria and viruses from entering your body.  If a bacteria or virus does get into the body, the immune system tries to detect and eliminate it before it can make itself at home and reproduce.  If the virus or bacteria is able to reproduce and start causing problems, your immune system is in charge of eliminating it.  Many factors can lead to a weakened immune system including vitamin deficiency, cigarette smoking, being overweight, stress, excess alcohol, and lack of exercise.   Those who are under chronic stress have been shown to have lower than normal white blood cell counts.  It is not always possible to reduce the amount of stress in our lives. For those who can’t, vitamin supplementation and an immune system aid are the best way to go.   Nutrition is vital in order to achieve a strong immune system.  Make sure and register for your free grocery report which includes menu plans and nutritional facts at www.healingcharlotte.com

Other tips can include drinking lots of water, getting plenty of rest, and of course exercise!!!!  Remember that your  immune system is your shield of armour to overall health and wellness.  Until next time Train Hard and Eat Healthy!

Women’s Boot Camp Fitness is the new trend in fitness and is literally taking over the fitness industry.    Regardless of your age or fitness history you will get an intense workout and trust me you WILL get results.  If you’re not sure if Boot Camp is right for you, here’s 5 reasons why I think it is…

 

#1 – Support: You will always have a drill-sergeant…
Err, I mean trainer to make sure you are doing all of
the exercises in a safe and results effective manner.
#2 – Motivation: And of course the trainers on hand
will push you hard to get the heart beating and the
blood pumping.
#3 – Competition: It’s human instinct and impossible to
resist. And when your competitive side kicks in you’ll
find yourself trying hard to beat what the other ladies
can do at Boot Camp. This friendly competition is good
though, because it means you push yourself harder and
get results faster.
#4 – Challenge: You will not have went through an
exercise circuit as intensive as this before and you
WILL feel the burn (that’s good) after your very first
session.
#5 – Fun: And finally, because of the Healing Strength
Fitness Boot Camp group element, it’s just a good laugh
which makes it a lot easier for you to commit to the
sessions.
…Again, though that’s what I think… But I want to
leave it up to you to decide for yourself which is why
I am giving you the opportunity to attend one Boot Camp
class completely FREE first. Full details at the
