This week’s Rapid Fat Loss & Fitness Boot Camp Workout is a bodyweight based conditioning workout.

I'm going to start dedicating Tuesday's blog post to one of my favorite subjects - Personal Development.

I truly believe that before you can get your body right, you have to get your mind right. The mind governs all. Unfortunately, we're not taught in school how to use our mind for our benefit, or even what the mind actually is for that matter. If you want to lose weight, burn fat, tone up, get more fit, become healthier and/or create a damn-sexy body that looks great naked this is a subject you must understand.

Well, we’re just over half-way through 2009; can you believe it?! Today, I’m going to give you my mid-year review on the fitness industry and share 3 biggest trends that we’re seeing.

Sadly, it appears as though the fitness industry as a whole has again failed to produce any significant results on a broad scale to effectively reverse the scary obesity epidemic that is plaguing our society. More specifically, the sickening fact that American adults keep getting fatter, more lethargic, and less healthy has mirrored the unabated deterioration in the health and fitness of our youth population.

However, on a positive note, we have seen some growing fitness trends that will provide the long-term answers to solve this ever-growing problem:

This week’s Rapid Fat Loss & Fitness Boot Camp Workout is about getting your cardio in, even when it’s raining.

Yesterday was a sprint day for me, and it was raining. ☹ Ah, have no fear because the bands are here!

Check out this home-based band cardio workout. It’s an awesome way to change things up or get your cardio in when it’s raining out.

There are all sorts of crummy supplements on the market you don’t need. Some of the stuff is flat out junk. Some of the stuff is good, but the actual product and brand is lousy.

And then, there are some products that are just flat out awesome for you.

Bottom line: The health benefits associated with a quality Krill Oil supplement are just too powerful to ignore. I don’t know if I can be any more blunt about it.

Besides the fact Krill Oil doesn’t cause “fish burps” like fish oil capsules do, its just one of the best sources of Essential Fatty Acids.

Krill Oil can also:

This week’s Rapid Fat Loss & Fitness Boot Camp Workout is all about quick and efficient, and the focus is core.

So many of us have days that leave us little time for anything in our personal lives, and usually the first thing to go on the list is our workout. Well, that doesn’t have to be the case.

There’s always time for a 10 – 15 minute workout. Unfortunately, most people don’t think they can get an effective workout in that short period of time. Oh, quite the contrary my friend.

Check out this week’s 10-minute blitz workout:

"****** happens." Sorry for the language, but that's the saying :-)

Things that we don't expect come up in life. Unfortunately, we often look at the "******" as obstacles instead of challenges. We let it control our thinking and ultimately our results. I actually cover this in depth in Chapter 1 of my book The Science of Getting Fit which you can get for FREE at www.JustinYule.com. Everybody who wants any kind of success, especially in fitness, needs to read that chapter. Really, you should just get the whole bood, especially while it's on sale - yes, that was a shameless plug :-) Seriously though, I put a lot into it and I really believe you'll love it.

Anyway, back to the "******." I don't know about you, but I certainly have a lot of different stresses that come up in life, and this week is no different - actually, there are more things piled up on me (personally and professionally) right now than I've had in a long time. So what! Good!! The bigger the challenge the bigger the reward. You see it's not the things in life that come up that define you, it's how you deal with them that does. Now, I'm certainly not up on some high-horse saying I can deal with anything without stress or worry. Trust me, I have my moments like everyone. But, I've learned that worrying is like paying interest on a debt that you may never have! Just do the best you can with what you have, and ALWAYS have a picture of success in your mind. And, getting all fired up and pissed off, what good does that really do?

Summer is here!!

Are you ready for you bathing suit?

Seems like just yesterday it was January 1st and everyone was making their New Year's Resolution. Well, hopefully YOU didn't because you know a flimsy "resolution" doesn't get you anywhere.

You know it takes much more than that. You know you need:

Will one night of drinking really affect my weight loss plan?

Everybody likes to throw a few back with friends - some a little more than others ;-)

But, if you’re on a weight loss plan one night of drinking can really set you back. The obvious reason is the excessive calorie consumption, but it goes way beyond that.

How Alcohol Makes You Fat

-Alcohol first passes through the esophagus as it travels to your stomach.

-From there, 20% of the alcohol is absorbed immediately by your bloodstream.

The results are in. According to The National Weight Control Registry found that 89% of people who lost 30 or more pounds and kept it off for at least one year accomplished their goals through a combination of diet and exercise. In that study only 10% succeeded using diet alone, and only 1% using exercise alone.
