Hello all,

I’ve got some exciting news!

One of the most respected trainers in the world has agreed to do an interview with me.   Craig Ballantyne, the creator of Turbulence Training is going to take time out of his busy schedule and answer a few questions.

But even better I’ve got something special for you, but more on that in a moment.

For those who don’t know Craig Ballantyne, he is a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist and his articles have been featured in fitness magazines such as Men’s Health, Oxygen, and Muscle and Fitness Hers.

Being the first day of a brand new year I know that you want to start 2009 the best way possible and what better way to achieve your fitness and weight loss goals then to get the straight answer from someone like Craig.

Here’s what I got for you.   Give me any question you have on fitness, strength training, weight loss, or Turbulence Training and I’ll ask Craig in our interview.    I’m expecting a lot of questions so I can’t promise yours will make it but I can promise you some good info from the interview.

To submit your question simply submit a comment to this post and don’t forget to bookmark this page and subscribe to the RSS feeds so you can see the transcription of the full interview later.   Or better yet subscribe to my newsletter and I’ll e-mail you when it’s ready.

Again, Craig Ballantyne is a very busy fitness expert and I urge you to take advantage of this.  You may never get this opportunity again.

Get An Early Start On Your New Year’s Resolutions

Today is the day to get started!

Why wait till January 1st to change your habits?

We’ve got a perfect, Friday, December 5th to get a full month’s head-start on your fat burning goals.

If you are a beginner and don’t know where to start, simply make one small baby-step change to your nutrition. Add one serving of fruit and one serving of vegetables, and cut back on the sugar, bread, and junk food in your diet.

Then try to get a little bit more exercise today than yesterday. If that means 5 minutes, then that is good! That’s fine. It is better than what you did yesterday.

If you are more advanced but have started to slack off because of  the holidays, turn that mindset around and use the holidays as a  reason to “tighten things up”.

Plan out your holiday treat meals in advance, and focus on sticking to your fat burning meal plan at all other times.

Do your job and earn your rewards. You’ll feel much more satisfied this way than throwing all caution to the wind for the next 4 weeks.

So everyone, everywhere, let’s all proclaim December 5th to be the REAL New Year’s Day, and make all of our healthy habit changes NOW, not later.

Let’s get pumped up to lose weight over the holidays. Let’s do the impossible and show the world that not everyone has to gain five or ten pounds every December.

Get a head start on your 2009 fat burning plans today.

Start creating one new healthy habit every day in December.

There is NO reason to wait, click here to get a head start on your New Year’s Resolutions!

Public Speaking Fears?

I love to write and I love to speak so what better way to kill some free time than to write a book about public speaking?  I just finished it and got the site up yesterday.

If you have ever watched someone get up in front of a crowd and speak so confidantly and thought “I wish I could do that.” then I suggest you check this book out.  I used to be so shy that I wouldn’t even get in front of a group of my two best friends.  I stressed out over this for years and finally decided to get out there and do it.   Since then I have won numerous awards for my speeches and have used my skills to honor loved ones in different settings.   It’s a fantastic feeling to have that confidence.

Before the book was released it was reviewed by others for critique.  It has already changed the way people view public speaking and proves that it is not as scary as society has perceived it.

To check out the book and be one of the first people with it click here.
