Relax – chill out – I know you need it

January 14th, 2010 by Henrik Flensborg

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.

Vote for your favorite body – hot chicks and buff dudes ahead

Posted in Exercise Health Weight

December 16th, 2009 by Henrik Flensborg

It’s time once again to cast your vote for the Turbulence Training Transformation Contest finalists.

This is the 6th 12-week transformation contest that Craig Ballantyne has arranged.

I’ve got two recommendations for you that I want you to do right now.

First I think you should go and look at the before and after photos of the Male, Female and Advanced finalists – and read their essays as well.

The visual transformation as stunning as it is really pales in comparison to the personal transformations that these finalists have gone through during the 12 weeks of the competition.

Next I want you to cast your vote – all the finalists (and those who wasn’t picked as finalists) have put alot of work into getting to where they are now, and they really deserve to have lots of votes cast on them.

Thirdly I want you to consider signing up to become a Turbulence Training member yourself if you A) is overweight, B) want to lose weight and C) wouldn’t mind strengthening and toning your body in the process.

I fully stand behind my recommendation of Turbulence Training as a very effective and varied workout program.

In the 5th transformation contest I myself was a finalist, so I know first hand how effective Craigs programs was for me.

So, go check out the finalists, cast your vote and think about making a commitment to let 2010 be the year when you got back into shape and lost those dangerous extra kilo and pounds.
