Ok, so as most of you know I have been fortunate enough to have been asked to sit a national panel of people along with myself as the Australian Fitness Expert.

Anyway, to make the night run  a bit smoother and not leave us totally out in the dark, they have been kind enough to send through an outline of a some of the questions and one of them has really stood out for me.

Most of our clients have kids of varying age and it is no NEWS FLASH that Australia is now the FATTEST country in the world…. and I was wondering if you could help me out before I sit on this panel on the weekend with a few answers to the great fat and weight loss debate??

Who’s role is it to turn the state of the nation around?? Is it up to the government, fitness trainers and clubs, the individual??

How can we help our kids? What can fitness trainers, clubs, Government do that could help this cause?

I would love to hear your feedback on this, and if I like it, it may even make national Television on the panel when I talk about this topic!!!

HISTORY OF NLP

Neuro Linguistic Programming is a hybrid science that was developed in the late 1960’s and early 1970’s by computer scientist, Richard Bandler, and linguist, John Grinder.

From the combined perspectives of their respective sciences, they began a study of three therapists. The therapists were producing excellent results, transforming their client’s ways of thinking, feeling and behaving. They modelled Family therapist, Virginia Satir, Gestalt therapist, Fritz Perls and hypnotherapist, Milton Erickson, who legitimised hypnotherapy as a healing treatment modality accepted by the A.M.A. (American Medical Association).

Bandler and Grinder were looking to discover exactly what transpired in the minds and bodies of patients at the moment change occurred. They asked what specifically caused the change and how they cold replicate it more quickly and efficiently, without years of therapy.

In addition, Bandler and Grinder examined what was occurring in the minds and behaviours of the therapists who achieved such great successes with their patients. Bandler and Grinder wanted to describe the steps of the therapeutic process itself to teach others step by step how to achieve the exact same result in less time.

 The techniques Bandler and Grinder developed by modelling Satir, Perls and Erickson are so concise and effective that the behavioural changes that used to take years now can occur within a matter of hours or minutes. In the decades since its inception NLP has proven a reliable and fast way for people to gain control of their minds and therefore there results.

Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) is a set of specific techniques that deliberately restructure toward positive functioning of the brain’s thinking and the body’s behaviours by aligning the conscious with the unconscious mind and body. NLP offers highly refined tools to take charge of every area of life in the most effective way possible to produce results. It enables individuals to proactively design their physical and emotional responses.

 Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) is a set of specific techniques that deliberately restructure the brain and the body’s behaviours toward positive function through the alignment of the conscious and unconscious mind and body. NLP offers highly refined tools to take charge of every area of life in the most effective and efficient way possible to produce results. It enables individuals to proactively design their physical and emotional responses and therefore, their results.

 The three components of NLP are:

 NEURO

 The nervous system’s taking in of life or reality through the five senses

• Sight (Visual)
• Sound (Auditory)
• Touch (Kinaesthetic)
• Smell (Olfactory)
• Taste (Gustatory)

 Understanding how the body and mind neurology works to better direct it toward more effective thoughts and behaviours.

 Creating new neurological pathways that break through mental boundary conditions.

 LINGUISTIC

 Becoming aware of how communication occurs within self and with others;

• Pictures
• Sounds
• Feelings
• Tastes
• Smells
• Internal dialogue

 Using language to guide the mind toward change.

 Speaking to others within their particular representational system or their model of the world.

 PROGRAMMING

Understanding the mind is like a computer with though patterns as the software and discovering what programs are determining current experience.

Using specific tools and techniques to reprogram, upgrade and install new software for optimal high performance.

Part III of the how bad do you want it for Summer series of posts….

Your Determination

Determination is the one thing that will guarantee that you will lose weight, tone your body and feel better than ever. You just have to want it bad enough. Thinking about it is not enough. Now it’s time for action!

You have to want your dream body…more than you want that hamburger and chips.
more than you want to skip your workout.
more than you want that chocolate cookie.
more than you want to sit on the couch and watch your favourite show..

The shape and size of your body is in your hands, and your hands only. I believe that you possess the kind of determination that it takes to change your body-you simply need to dig down deep enough within yourself to find it.

 Enlist friends, family and loved ones to encourage your efforts and to keep tabs on your progress. In fact, I would love to be a key player in your network of support-don’t hesitate to call me or reply to this post to get me onboard as your Personal Trainer or Bootcamp Instructor. Fitness is my passion and I can help make it yours too!

*Surround yourself with support and don’t give up.

I get excited when talking about getting you the body of your dreams-this is what I do everyday for my clients. Making the decision to transform your body is something to celebrate.

Call me or reply to this post and let me know that you are ready to make it happen for yourself and together we’ll create a fitness and fat loss program that will change your life!

 Yours in Health and Fitness,

Scott Williams, Succeed Canberra CEO and Personal Trainer

Yesterday I spoke of the importance of your mind in how you look. Today it is all about structure..

Your Structure

Everyone who successfully sets out to lose body fat and achieve results does so by implementing a structure. Your plan is crucial to your success, picture it as a guiding map needed to find a new destination. Without it you are lost.

Here are the 2 major parts to your structure:

                1. Exercise: Yes, you will have to put in a bit of effort and break into a sweat, but the good news is that once you make exercise a habit you will find that you really enjoy it - In fact, I know you will. It is important that you make exercise a part of your lifestyle, and not something that you do on random occasions. For maximal results exercise 4-5 times at around 30 – 40 minutes each week doing both cardiovascular and resistance training. You could for a local Personal Trainer or a Bootcamp in your area. Training with a friend will help your motivation levels.

               2. Diet: They say you are what you eat ( about 72% of what you eat is how you look), and that is never truer than while losing weight. Cut junk food from your diet and stick with fresh healthy foods instead. Eat small meals throughout the day containing protein, carbohydrates and minimal fat.

*Stick with your healthy eating and exercise routine-these are what will make the difference on the road to your successful transformation of a new you.

Here is part 1 of 3 of a small series of mind games for you…

How bad do you want it?

For many the summer months in Canberra ( which are not far away) bring with them a harsh reminder of unmet fitness goals.

While the toned men and slender women of the world put on their summer gear and proudly put themselves on display, whilst those that gave into temptation with food and a bit of hard work, are quite happy sweating in the jumper and tracky pants..

So why haven’t you met your fitness goals?

Why must you go through another summer, turning your head as you pass by the beaches showcasing buff bodies? You should be enjoying your summer days without wondering whether you look ok in this outfit.

The truth is that anyone can get the body of their dreams…even you! And wouldn’t it feel great to pull on your bathing suit without bracing yourself before looking in the mirror? Maybe look for a local Personal Trainer or Bootcamp Group in your area. Just make sure you do a bit of research and that they are well renowned and have been in the fitness industry for a while.

Well the truth is you can turn your fitness dreams (new years resolution) into reality-read on for a few things you need make happen to begin achieving the body you always new you could.

Your Mind

You may be wondering what your mind has to do with getting your body into great shape. In a single word, your mind has everything to do with getting the body you have always desired. Your mind will single handedly make or break your success.

How is this possible? Well, your mind works to reinforce the beliefs that you hold about yourself. If you think of yourself as a fat person, or an out-of-shape person, or just an average person then your subconscious mind will do everything in its power to manifest more of the same to keep you that way.

It’s like self-sabotage.

However, if you begin to think of yourself as fit, healthy and attractive, then your mind will do everything it can to make your belief a reality.

*Take time everyday to visualize your new body and how you want it to look.

Take Care,

Scott Williams, Succeed Canberra CEO and Personal Trainer

Your presence is a present to the world.

You are unique and one of a kind.

Your life can be what you want it to be.

Take the days just one at a time.

Count your blessings, not your troubles.

You will make it through whatever comes along.

Within you are so many answers.

Understand, have courage, be strong.

Do not put limits on yourself.

So many dreams are waiting to be realized.

Decisions are too important to leave to chance.

Reach for your peak, your goal and you prize.

Nothing wastes more energy than worrying.

The longer one carries a problem the heavier it gets.

Do not take things too seriously.

Live a life of serenity, not a life of regrets.

Remember that a little love goes a long way.

Remember that a lot … goes forever.

Remember that friendship is a wise investment.

Life’s treasures are people together.

Realize that it is never too late.

Do ordinary things in an extraordinary way.

Have heart and hope and happiness.

Take the time to wish upon a star.

 AND DO NOT EVER FORGET, FOR EVEN A DAY, HOW VERY SPECIAL YOU ARE !
