There's been a lot of Hype and Buzz around the terms "Real Age and Biological Age". So, I wanted to see what this hype was all about and decided to take the Test :-) I was indeed fascinated with the outcome of my test results. It's quite a lengthy Test, so be prepared to sit down for slightly longer than just five minutes :-) I'll post the link below so you can click on it and take the Test.
NB Don't RUSH through it & answer truthfully!!!
I'm dying to hear what the results are of some of your guys Tests :-)

Muscle Building Exercise
How to get your muscles FIRING on all FIBRES!
Try this simple but effective training session. This can be done ONLY once a week & your body will require sufficient rest after this session. So try and do this type of workout towards the end of the week. You could do the entire body in one session if you really wanted to. Personally, I prefer to do certain muscle groups. Four to five muscles in the session...
How it works:
You will work each muscle group for a total time of 5 minutes without a break.
Here's an example... Chest - Bench press 10 reps, Peck flys 10 reps, TRX chest press 10 reps, Push ups 10 reps. Repeat that sequence twice, & that should take you up to 5 minutes.
Now do the same with Biceps - barbell curls 10 reps, dumbell curls 10 reps, TRX curls 10 reps, Preacher curls on the gym ball 10 reps, Dumbell pulses 10 reps. Repeat!
Same for your Triceps and shoulders or which ever muscle group you wish to work. This type of workout will also get your Heart Rate raised quite a bit. Remember to take a break after you have completed a muscle group. (2 min break)
ENJOY :-)

Eat Stop Eat (Intermittent Fasting)
I was recently introduced to the subject called "Eat Stop Eat" by a good friend who is about to embark on this journey of Intermittent Fasting. Before I started reading the material that was mailed to me, I thought to myself, "Not another DIET." I've been in the fitness industry for over 12 years and I've seen diets come... and diets GO!
But the more I read about Intermittent Fasting, the MORE I wanted to read and find out what exactly Eat Stop Eat or Intermittent Fasting was all about. This topic now had ALL my attention.
It's by no means a Diet. It's a Way of Life! People all around the world Fast because of religious beliefs. So fasting is not New nor is it an abnormal thing to do. Quite simply, Intermittent Fasting is allowing yourself to stay without food once or twice a week for a period of 24hrs. This has to be done in conjunction with a good exercise program (Weight Training as well as Cardio) and if you stick to it you should see GREAT results. You HAVE to also follow a sensable eating plan. There are so many health reasons why we all should try this, (weight loss being only 1 of the many) but I'm not going to get into it all, otherwise I'll be blogging till next year :-) I have the book, so if you would like to know a bit more about it, drop me a mail & I'll fill you in on Eat Stop Eat & what it takes for YOU to lose the weight & look GOOD!
I have a test subject who is going to give it a trial run for 1 month and I will be blogging about her results and also how she is coping with this Program. So I'll be blogging about Intermittent Fasting for the next month...and possibly longer :-)
Here are her Stats:
Age 38
Weight 70.1kg
Height 1.65m
Goal weight 60kg
Measurements:

OxyELITE PRO & 30 minute Fat Burning Workout
I'm so EXCITED to be blogging today, cause I have so much to blog about & such great results to report back to everyone :-)
Four weeks ago I suggested to a 34 year old female who was battling to lose weight & cm's to try OxyELITE Pro in conjunction with my Early Morning 30 minute Fat Burning Workout and a good meal plan. One of the reasons she is not losing weight, is because she is on birth control (injection). I sat down with her, looked at what she was eating and what changes she could make. Firstly, I got her use to doing my 30 min fat burning workout for about 3 weeks and thereafter I altered the workout (15 August) for her and just after 1 week of altering the training program did she move the numbers on the scale.
This is what her numbers look like...Bearing in mind that she could not lose anything prior to this Training Progam!
Yet again it proves that you don't have to spend hours in a gym or even train 2 to 3 times per day. Why would anyone in their right mind want to be training 2 or 3 times a day (unless you are a Professional Athlete), when you can achieve results like this, 30 - 40 min a day, Monday to Friday in the comfort of your home (No fancy weight machines, No protein shakes, No starving). It's all about training SMARTLY & WISELY!!!
She could NEVER break the 70kg barrier! I am both Happy & Proud of her that she not only broke the 70kg mark, but also lost a whopping 12.5cm's
Remember, it's not always all about the scale, but more importantly the cm's that comes off. Like I once said to a client, "When someone bumps into you in the street after not seeing you for 2 months, they not going to say, WOW you look like you weigh 69kg's." Instead, they going to say, "WOW you really look GOOD."
I will be updating her training in another 2 weeks from today (5 September) and will also be keeping everyone informed about her progress :-)
