How did the first 12 weeks of 2010 go?
March 30, 2010 by Deb · Leave a Comment
Yesterday marked the 12 week mark of 2010. Did those 12 weeks fly by or what?
It is important to pull the bus over right now and be honest with yourself about how the first 12 weeks of 2010 went:
Do you have more energy?
Are you generally in a better mood?
If weight loss is one of your goals, have you lost 12 to 24 pounds (1 to 2 pounds per week)?
Are you getting more tone?
Are your clothes feeling loose/are you losing inches?
If you answered yes to at least 1 of these questions, than Congratulations! You are “in the game” and you should be proud of yourself.
If you answered no to all of the questions, then it is time to re-commit and change your approach. Now is the time to alter what you are doing so that you can accomplish the fitness and/or weight loss results that you deserve. You and your health are worth investing your time and energy into to so make today your January 1st and start kicking butt!
Train Hard & Expect Results,

Will there be a New “YOU” in 2010?
January 5, 2010 by Deb · Leave a Comment
There will be if you want it bad enough!
There will be if you “CHOOSE” to create a new “you” in 2010.
Make no mistake about it….a new you will be created in
2010 regardless of what you decide.
Your skin is completely replaced every 30 days, the cells in your
blood stream will be replaced in the year 2010, and so will every
bone in your body.
It’s called cellular regeneration.
The trillions of cells in your body will respond to your
self talk and thought commands in 2010.
Here is the GOOD news!!
You get to decide right now….will I do what I have
always done, and get what I have always gotten, or will I take
control and help shape and create the new me that I want in 2010?
You and only you have the power to choose.
Do you want to be:
Confident
Successful
Unstoppable…in 2010?
You can be, you simply have to choose to.
Is it easy?
NO, everything worthwhile takes some effort on your part.
Can you do it?
You bet, and with CrossTrain’s help it will not be that hard
at all. (Well, it will be a lot easier with our support!)
Are your ready?
Let’s get started
My job is to give you the tools you need to create an incredible
new “you” from the inside out. You will become a healthier you, a more successful
you, a confident you, an unstoppable you and a more Spiritual you!
Your job is to digest the information, follow the steps,
take action, and most important of all….visualize
the new “YOU” that you want to be……EVERY DAY.
STEP ONE
Starting today I want you to start visualizing the new you that
you want to create. Think of yourself as a movie producer.
Create a short movie in your mind and replay that movie every
night when you go to bed. Create as much detail as possible; picture
yourself in the home you want, the car you want, with the loving
person you want to be with, earning the income you want, etc.
Look in the mirror every morning and say this:
“Every day I am becoming the person I have visualized in the movie
I play back in my mind, God will help me become that new person and
I will help others in their quest to recreate themselves
as I become the new person I know I will become.”
VERY IMPORTANT!!
Say this statement with faith that your transformation has ALREADY
BEGUN!
Now get going and create your first blockbuster movie ….YOU!!!

“Re-Solve” To Try Something NEW!

We are three months into 2009…..How are you coming on your New Year’s Resolutions? What does Resolution mean anyway?
res·o·lu·tion \ˌre-zə-ˈlü-shən\
1: the act or process of resolving.
As you can see the word resolution is derived from the word “Resolve” which literally means to solve again. And isn’t that exactly what happens? You solve the same problem again and again, year after year?
Are you one of the millions of Americans that has already “fallen off the wagon” by losing motivation, cheating on your diet, skipping workouts, and slipping back into old patterns?
It’s not too late…..you can Re-Commit and Re-focus on your goals!
One of the ways I would recommend that you try to achieve your goals is by getting out of your box and trying something NEW. Maybe you are a runner and you love to run for your workouts, but have you ever tried a weight lifting class? Or maybe you love to lift weights but you have never tried an aerobics’ class. Sometimes we can get stuck in a rut of doing the same thing over and over again because it’s comfortable. What would happen if you tried something new? Shake it up a bit!!
Think about it….our bodies are very smart; if we do the same thing over and over again our bodies can adjust and actually stop giving you the results that you are looking for. By adding new things to shake things up we can trick our body into reacting and giving us those results that we want. I recommend doing something for 8-12 weeks and then sit back down and re-plan your goals and again change what you are doing so you continue to reach your goals.
One of the best ways to change things up would be to try Circuit Training. Circuit training has many benefits. One is that is can be done in less than 30 minutes! Time is the number one reason I hear that people don’t workout or stick with their programs. Another benefit is that you are doing several different types of exercises. This will keep you from getting bored with your routine as well as keeping your body changing to help you achieve your goals. Circuit training allows you to do both strength training as well as cardiovascular exercises in one workout, again saving you time and adding variety!
Don’t “Re-Solve” to another year of not reaching your goals. Stay focused,
eat right, train hard, CHANGE things up and Expect Success!
