An Ode To Fat Fighting – John Limpus Poem

With diets a plenty, and information in excess

Our ancestors must baffle, at our lack of weight loss success

When told the answers we nod, “I know” “I know”

When we look in the mirror we grimace, “To Slow” To Slow”

So what is the truth, With this riddle of flab?

Is it laziness, gentics or are we simply dressing to drab?

No time, too tired, my birthday this week,

Our excuses are clearly, becoming too meek.

That’s right, you heard, “The Meek” are exposed,

Those without the strength, to drop down a size of clothes!

Have the courage to go, where you have not been before,

You CAN go out without drinking, your not breaking the law!

Have the courage to miss, the six o’clock news,

In exchange for a lesson, in making better stews!

The courage to say “No”, to more stuff and more money,

Because you have too much already, and today it’s simply too sunny!

To succeed we must except, that our limitations are within,

Not time, Not Children, Not Work but OUR SIN.

So be bold the exhausted, the confused and the lost,

For help is near, at just a little more cost.

Try replacing boozing with Bootcamp, for simply one month,

And give your body a break, from all that other “STUFF”

You might find that exercise, is something you really quite like,

and it’s nice to try on, trousers not quite so tight.

That’s as much as it takes to open the door,

To a leaner new you, forever and more.

So don’t give up hoping, because the end is in sight,

And if you don’t get there today, tomorrow you might!

Guest Post – Sam Feltham – East London’s Premier Fat Loss Specialist

This week we look at one of the most crucial areas of your journey to a leaner you, Confidence.

Having worked with a number of Personal Trainers in the Fat Loss world I am delighted to have one of the most dynamic and exciting to help us out with a guest post today, Sam Feltham.

The following guest post from Sam certainly gives an incite into just how it FEELS to be out of your comfort zone, something you are going to have to get used to when you are losing weight in the real world!

Over to you Sam!

This is a bit crazy and weird if you’ve never heard of it, but today I decided to have a lie down for 2 minutes in the middle of the millennium bridge in London just for kicks and to push my comfort zones. Watch the video to find out how I got on!

Pretty funny huh?

If you haven’t heard of this exercise before it’s from Tim Ferriss’s “The 4 Hour Work Week”. It was seriously funny when I did it but before doing it I was thinking:

“What happens if someone comes along to move me on?”
“What happens if someone I know sees me?”

And other thoughts like that. But the thing is, nothing happened as a consequence of doing this exercise. No one tried to move me on, I didn’t see any one I know and no one knows who I was.

The only thing that has changed, is that I’ve grown personally from it. I’ve pushed the limits of my capabilities, increased my confidence in my actions and is getting me closer to reach my full potential.

Right now, I want you to get a piece of paper and write down a crazy stunt to do this month. It doesn’t have to be something as crazy as what I’ve done but it should definitely make you feel awkward and of course push you out of your comfort zone. Also, my lawyer has recommended that I tell you that it should not be something illegal.

Please let me know what you’ve written down to do this month and if you can record it, put it up on YouTube then send me the link I can feature it on the blog for you 

Looking forward to hearing your crazy story from this month,

Sam Feltham

How To Prevent “Bootcamp Burnout”

Whilst our Complete Bootcamp is a great way to get fit and tone up quickly (Even if I do say so myself!) it can be a pretty exhausting month for some!

In fact, come SHOK week, (Week 4), many bootcampers are approaching Bootcamp burnout wondering if one bootcamp is all they have in them!

Now that’s no good is it! (After all most of our subscribers have been Bootcamp for over 2 years!)

So how do we avoid Bootcamp Burnout and stay fit and lean for the long haul rather than just a few weeks?

Here are my top 3 tips…
