Change Your Life One Day at a Time...The topic of today's news letter is "Changing Your Life." I am currently reading a book by Anthony Robbins called: Giant Steps, Small Changes to Make a Big Difference
In his book the he discusses "What the secret of success is..." He goes on to state Success is the ability to marshal our most potent resources simply by putting ourselves in a state of absolute certainty. What in your life is holding you back? This can be Physical, Mental, Emotional, Spiritual. Robbins uses an example of Bill Gates. Bill's career was launched when as a college student at Harvard he promised to deliver software he hadn't developed yet for a computer he'd never seen! Because of his sense of certainty (which was completely unfounded), he was able to tap all the resources he needed to successfully co-design the software and begin to build his fortune.Now Clearly, we are more likely to succeed in any arena we are more COMMITTEDto achieving, but this is also something we can empower from within!Regarding Weight Loss...This is not a go to the doctor and immediately get a fix situation. For some eating and WHAT they eat is an EMOTIONAL issue rather than a Physical one. Some don't exercise because they need a PUSH or a GROUP, and it IS TRUE you will do more work harder when there are other people around to challenge you and push you to keep up, and keep going!Ask: HOW OFTEN DO YOU TRAIN YOURSELF TO BE COMMITTED TO SUCCESS?
WHAT do I mean by that?
When you truly COMMIT to being successful and BELIEVE with ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY that you will be, you HAVE to make POWERFUL steps each day toward getting there and maintaining that belief, just like Bill Gates.
Decide right now TODAY what steps you NEED to take to be successful in your life! Be that Committing to Boot Camp, Eating RIGHT, throwing out all the BAD FOOD in your house, Adjusting your personal focus in your Relationship with yourself and other people in your life close to you... RIGHT NOW, DECIDE! Write it down, Now Commit to Change!
It is time to start thinking about NEXT SESSION...Many are going for the 3 month and Annual Pass to Commit to being "Obsessive: a Word Used by the Lazy to Describe the Dedicated."I hope that includes YOU!

CIA CrossFit Kettlebells/Mile High Boot Camp
This last weekend I competed in the Urban Assault Race. My partner and I rode approximately 25 miles all over down-town Denver (plus Wheat Ridge) and did many "Crazy Human Stunts" at our check off points in order to earn our "beads"....
I was just talking with a friend today about it, and just how GREAT it is that the kind of training we do with CIA CrossFit and Mile High Boot Camp, prepares you for ANY adventure. Not for one minute did I feel fatigued during the race, and I DID NOT train for it! I have also been known to run 5 and 7K races with many of my trainees, and I don't train for those either... I just show up and do them! Now I am not going for the record fastest time, or first place, but I feel very confident in the training we do preparing myself and all of my consistent trainees for such events.
When you think about that... that is exactly what you should be able to do with your fitness program! Your training program should prepare you for ANY of Life's Adventures and in a manner in which you can do them successfully and enjoyably. Don't you think?
I think this is really what sets our programs at CIA CrossFit and Mile High Boot Camp apart from almost all others... we train constantly changing modalities of FUNCTIONAL FITNESS at High Intensity EVERY DAY!We do this so you CAN go out and run a 5K on a whim or do an Urban Assault Race and have FUN, or Climb a 14er and not be overly winded!
In the coming months I am putting together our own program of certification to train as a CIA. I want to share and I hope you do too. Classes start back up Monday - August 3rd! I hope to see YOU... New or Return Trainee with us to constantly improve your fitness and improve your personal health!
Have a Beautiful and Fit Day!

To Carb or Not to Carb? |
There is all this mis-information
out there... "What diet can I follow to get the fastest results without
actually having to suffer or actually work at it?" Hmmm.... Well, the answer is one no one likes to hear, but at Least I am Telling You the TRUTH! YOU HAVE TO WORK AT IT & EAT RIGHT! Sorry, that is the cold hard truth. www.MileHighBootCamp.com/Calendar.htmlThe diet "pills" even if they are guaranteed, will find a loop hole that you didn't follow so they won't have to refund your money or your lack of results. Other programs (I won't name any names, but they have weekly meetings) they teach you to count numbers, such as points, but still allow you to eat the "foods you like" well, let me disintegrate this thought for you (and yes you may see results for a while, but...). The fact is AGAIN, YOU HAVE TO EAT RIGHT! NO you cannot have ice cream every night and lose weight, the sugar alone will sit right around your mid-section and wake up sitting right where you don't want it to in the morning... i.e. Your Mid-section = The Spare Tire! You HAVE GOT to eat BALANCED foods, nearly eliminate Sugars, excess Gluten, Chocolate (I don't care who told you dark chocolate was good for you... let me surprise you... IT WAS the CHOCOLATE Manufacturers! – DUH!!!!!!) Get RID OF IT! Fasting... this is Great... I mean seriously... Yes, it might get you into that dress you want to wear next week, but you will be MISERABLE, the people around you will be even more MISERABLE and when you eat again after the dress event, you will BALLOON! Why? Well, because your body thought you were starving it! DUH - YOU WERE! Repeated starving will cause what????? Well a complete Shut down of your metabolism. Guess what... you will get fatter and still be eating less and less food causing you to still get fatter and fatter... now that sounds well... MISERABLE! How do you do it then? 1.) EXERCISE! Good hard exercise, getting your heart rate up, keeping it there, and changing out what the activities are every day. Even changing the time of day will help. If every Monday you do 30 minutes on the stair master and back and biceps, then Tuesday you do 30 more minutes and legs, and Wednesday.... well, guess what you body won't change after it figures it out... it WILL find the path of least resistance. See our bodies are programed to be lazy. FIGHT IT! (i.e. GET TO BOOT CAMP!) 2.) EAT RIGHT - EAT BALANCED! That means our recommended 40/30/30 split plan for nutrition. This keeps your body satiated. That means you won't have spikes because you are keeping your body in BALANCE! If you eat all carb snacks, you will be out of balance and crave more. If you eat all protein, your kidneys will be over worked an become sick. If you eliminate all carbs, when you eat them you will BALLOON! Your body needs carbs (and good complex carbs) for ENERGY! If you force your body to look else where for it, you will be causing your body (remember it is lazy) to work way harder than it wants to and cause yourself other sever health issues. SO, GET YOUR TAIL TO BOOT CAMP! GET IT TO CROSSFIT! AND YES LIKE IT OR NOT, KETTLEBELLS! KETTLEBELLS will change your body faster, better and healthier than any 5 lb. dumbbells will. AND NO you won't get bulky. http://www.CIAcrossFit.com/ciatraining.html There are No Excuses! |
