Phi Life just launched

Posted in Diet
February 3rd, 2010 by Henrik Flensborg

Brad Pilon and John Barban just launched a site called Phi Life which they describe like this:

PhiLife is a logical discussion about things you can do to effectively improve your health, well being, fitness (whatever that means) and overall life satisfaction.

The current podcast on the site talks about mixing up WHY with HOW and how this mixing up blurs the information available in the health and fitness industry.

It’s a good 40 minutes with the no-nonsense approach to health and fitness that I like about Brad and John

Relax - chill out - I know you need it

A possibly stressful Christmas has passed, a new year has started and one of your New Year’s resolution was probably to spend some more ME-time.

You know, just focusing on yourself, your health, your needs, your desires.

Figure out what you *want* to do and put what you *need* to do aside.

Take some time out to decide what you want to do for yourself this year.

Maybe you need a good massage. If you can’t get your spouse to do it, then go schedule a few sessions with a local massage therapist.

Maybe you want to take Yoga classes. Gather a few of your best girlfriends and maybe go have a cup of coffee after class.

Maybe a trip to the Sauna after a good swim is more your thing.

Or maybe you could benefit from replacing some of your coffee with herbal tea.

Make a decision about replacing foods that are not good for your health with some that are.

Could be that you just need to set aside 15 minutes each day that are yours alone.

Or how about planning a good relaxing vacation somewhere?

Go see a musical or a theater play.

Take up some forgotten hobbies of yours.

Set aside time this week to think about what you could do to make your life more fulfilling.

Call an old friend and ask him over for dinner so you can become all nostalgic and talk about “the good old days”.

Whatever you do just make sure that you make 2010 the best year ever - for you.

I just received an email from LearnOutLoud with their Monday Morning Motivation - this time it’s a free 2 hour mp3 download of The Science of Being Great by Wallace D. Wattles.

I’m downloading myself as I write this and will pop it into my mp3 players shortly.

There’s only a few more hours left of the 50% off of Turbulence Training from Craig Ballantyne, so if one of your New Year’s resolutions a few hours ago was to get fit and healthy in 2010 and drop those dangerous extra kilo, then now is the time to take action.

Getting Craig’s training programs really is a no-brainer if you’re looking for a workout program that keep changing every month and has a forum attached to it where you can go to get answers to all your questions as well keep yourself accountable by keeping a fitness journal there.

And if you’re really looking for something extra to keep you accountable, then you have until January 15 to join the 7th Turbulence Training Transformation Contest - having your before pictures posted and the forum community to back you up is a great way to stay dedicated for the first 12 weeks.

Right now there’s the option of getting TT at 50% discount

Tomorrow this will be gone, but there’s still the Trial offer which is the option I sprung for when I first joined TT.

Oh, and if you’re looking for even more accountability then grab hold of me and let’s go through TTTC#7 together.

Do you also need to lose 10 kilo?

Posted in Information
December 29th, 2009 by Henrik Flensborg

I managed, as you might already know, to lose 20 kilo during the first 8 months of 2009 through a change in diet and by starting to exercise.

Part of the exercise I did was following Craig Ballantyne’s Turbulence Training workout programs and participating in his Turbulence Training Transformation Contest #5

During that competition I went through quite a transformation.

Not only did I lose a lot of weight, but I also became a lot stronger.

I went from having back and neck pains to being completely free of them.

I went from from somebody with his belly sticking out to someone who were given compliments on his looks - at the ripe age of 40 ;-)

After the competition ended I kinda slipped back into my old habits - helped along by a running injury and a remodelling of my gym.

So status quo near the end of 2009 is that I’m still 10 kilo shy of my goal weight.

Well, luck has it that all these things align just right

  1. Injury almost completely gone now
  2. Gym should reopen after New Year’s Eve
  3. Craig Ballantyne is running yet another transformation contest - number 7 RIGHT NOW

So come January 1st I’ll get right back on track with a new set of before pictures and a detailed 12-week plan for getting rid of the last and most stubborn 10 kilo of extra weight.

I know that these last 10 kilo will be the toughest 10 kilo ever, but I’m confident that I’ll make it.

The first time I joined the competitionI had a hard time finding pictures of men that had the physique I was aiming for - either I found pictures of bulked up bodybuilders or pictures of what definitely looked like gay underwear models.

But this time I’ve found myself a rolemodel - not only because of his looks, but because of how fast he achieved it.

It’s no other than the winner of the 6th Turbulence Training Transformation Contest Dave Suvak.

300

Dave does truely look like something taken straight out of 300 - and at age 48 that’s quite an achievement.

But how about you?

Do you also still need to get rid of those last 10 kilo - or do you need to lose the first 10 kilo?

Care to join me in Turbulence Training Transformation Contest #7?
