I told you last week about the report I have recently completed for the 12 days of fitness. I forgot to tell you about what makes this report different from any other you might have read before.
For a start, it isn't just full of fluff and padding about fat loss. I have read loads of reports by trainers that are thinly veiled sales pages; basically trying to sell you loads of supplements and quick fixes. So I’ve only put in the information and resources you need to lose body fat and tone up over Christmas; that’s it, nothing else, no unnecessary pages of science or gumpf.
For example, on page 3, I've included my Top Ten Tips for healthy fat loss
On page 6, I've added an easy recipe for turkey noodle stir fry, that tastes excellent and is healthy.
And on page 9, I've put together a meal planner, so you are not caught out and grabbing poor quality snacks.
But that's not all. I've also added daily stretches and ad break workouts.
I tell you, I'm really looking forward to hearing from you and all the other readers of the report when its released on 10th December.
But here's the thing.
The only place you can get a copy is over at www.12daysoffitness.com as I've donated the whole thing to an amazing project called 12 DAYS OF FITNESS where over 250 of the world's leading fitness experts are giving away free information on how to get into tip top shape... yes, for FREE! And as I told you last time I have promised my friend Dax that I will not release this report in any other way.
So not only will you get a copy of MY report The Christmas Survival Guide, but you'll also get hundreds of others as well.Not a bad Christmas gift right?
If you haven’t signed up already, get over to the 12 days of fitness website and do so; it only takes 10 seconds.

I Believe
Last week, Dax Moy from the 12 days of fitness wrote a post about his beliefs and challenged the members of the elite personal training community he runs to do the same. There have been many inspirational stories and they have all shown how trainers enter the fitness industry to really make a positive change in people’s lives.
I am rising to this challenge and opening up my beliefs to you all; use this information as you wish. Some of you who know me well will know much of this, some of you will get to know me a little better but I’m hoping by publishing my beliefs it will give you a reminder to check on your own and maybe review what is truly important to you.
I believe in respect; in all of its meanings and guises. I have studied and taught martial arts for over 20 years; respect is a major part of many styles. The style of Kung Fu that I study and teach has respect as the first club rule. I spent most of the day Sunday learning iaido - the way of the sword draw, the respect given to the weapon and the ceremony of each movement is amazing.
I believe respect should be given freely rather than earned, we should respect everything and everyone around us; our belongings, our friends and family, nature and most importantly ourselves. As a health coach, I spend a large amount of my time educating people on how to treat their bodies to get the most out of them. Too many people abuse their bodies; be it with alcohol, smoking, poor quality foods or a combination of all three. They are often then surprised when they find themselves troubled with illness and injury. If we treat our bodies well they will return the favour.
Many of my beliefs are centred around respect.
I believe in honesty; this is with ourselves and everybody we come into contact with. So often we lie to ourselves about what we really want from our lives. I think many people are unhappy because they are not being honest with themselves and living true to their beliefs. Honesty with others doesn’t mean being thoughtless or nasty; we should always strive to be nice but we should let others know our true thoughts in a constructive way. I am always honest with my clients on what they need to do to achieve their goals and what is possible for them to achieve; often way beyond what they thought would be possible. I wouldn’t still be in this business if I wasn’t honest with people.
I believe everybody should live with passion; in your business, your relationships, your free-time and everything that you do. Some people say that I’m lucky to be in a role that I am passionate about; but I have made the choices and sacrifices necessary to work in this business. I have put in a lot of hard work and study but it didn’t feel like a burden, I love what I do, I believe I have found my purpose and I work hard to stay at the top of my industry. I have surrounded myself with people that can help me become better at what I do and offer constructive and valid advice. If you are passionate about the work that you do, it doesn’t feel like work.
If you are not passionate about your job you need to make sure it rewards you enough in other ways that you can follow your passions in other areas of your life. The time you spend away from your work, your free-time should be filled with things that make your job worth it. If you are highly paid but don’t use the money to pursue happiness in some way, you are working for work’s sake. We are not on this planet for long and we should strive to enjoy our lives; as my nephew says ‘you don’t want to be the richest skeleton in the graveyard’.
I believe you should plan for the future but living is more important than saving. If you are in a role you hate and the pay is poor, do something about it. Study, work harder, change jobs, whatever it takes to change your life positively, but don’t stay in a role that makes you unhappy and doesn’t deliver the rewards to pursue your dreams in other areas.
I try to spend as much of my free-time out with my family and dogs, we enjoy mountain walking; and getting out in nature helps you to put things into perspective and feel free.
I believe that you should trust in your abilities; too many people don’t pursue the things that they really want because they are scared about failing. I am also guilty of this but I’m trying to change. As long as we learn from the experience, it was worth while. The people I coach show disbelief when we discuss their goals and what I believe they could achieve; with hard work, a plan and determination we can all achieve our goals. Many successful people are where they are because somebody else initially believed they could be.

The people I coach show disbelief when we discuss their goals and what I believe they could achieve; with hard work, a plan and determination we can all achieve our goals. Many successful people are where they are because somebody else initially believed they could be.
I had a client many years ago who wanted to be an American wrestler, many of his peers told him that it was a dream and a skinny teenager from Coventry couldn’t make it in the states as a wrestler. His mum believed in his goal and booked him some sessions with me, again I believed that he should go for it; we worked on his strength and flexibility. We trained some fancy martial arts stuff to look good; in addition to his judo training. He wrote letter after letter, refusing to accept no as an answer. Eventually he got a break and moved to the U.S.A. to train and work as a wrestler; he was living his dream at 19. He could have given in at the first step, if he listened to those that thought it was unrealistic. He chose to surround himself with people who believed in him and his goals and encouraged him and helped him to take action towards them.
I believe you should give graciously and accept willingly; be it a gift, a complement, your knowledge or your time.
I believe we should all be nice; that is, try to see the glass half full, be positive. When bad things happen it is easy to get angry and start being negative about it, but anger doesn’t really solve anything and often makes the situation worse. We should try to focus on the bigger picture and establish the best course of action to take to accomplish what we want. By being nice we put others at ease and they can focus on helping us achieve.
It can be hard at times; we have had no gas supply to our house this past weekend meaning no heating (it was -3c over night), no hot water and no hob to cook on. Our gas company passed the blame on to another company who didn’t work weekends and said they couldn’t help. This morning they have changed their mind and we are hoping they will resolve the problem today. My wife remained nice and they have found a way to help us; this might not have been the case if we got angry.
I have many more but will finish with:
I believe everybody has the right to good health; it is the choices we make in life that define our health. Only a small number of health problems are due to genetics; but I often hear that excuse for obesity and other weight related problems. I could play the genetics card if I chose to become obese, most of my family are overweight. I make the right choices with nutrition and exercise to maintain a fit and healthy body.
Many health problems are a result of poor nutrition and lack of exercise, yet we seek the advice of the medical profession who are trained to deal with the consequences of ill health rather than promote good health. We want the quick fix, surgery or magic pill / potion to take that will solve all of our problems; the results of which are short lived and often leave us in a worse position.
If you really want to improve your health and are tired of being ill every time there’s as much of a sniffle in the air; do something about it. It might be hard work initially, everything worthwhile is, but the results are life-changing. Seek help from someone who deals with promoting good health on a daily basis, take their advice and take action upon it. It is the taking action that really makes the difference and helps us improve.
This advice isn’t limited to your health; if you want to improve your financial situation seek the help of an expert who can give you the best advice for your circumstances. Whatever your goals maybe, become more educated about the things that you need to do to achieve them and surround yourself with people who can help you achieve them; don’t listen to the people you feel are trying to hold you back.
I hope you have found this post about my beliefs interesting and you are inspired to review your own.
We all have the power to live the life we dream of, we just need to take consistent positive action towards that life, I will be, it’s your choice if you want to.

12 Days of Fitness
Leading Fitness Experts Give The Gift Of Health To World With Biggest Ever Health and Fitness Giveaway This Festive Season
On Wednesday, December 10, Dax Moy and over 250 of the world's top fitness professionals will open the doors on the World’s largest ever health and fitness gift-giving, set to generate positive health for over 500,000 people this Christmas
The program, called '12 days of fitness' initially began when the UK's leading fitness professional, Dax Moy, wanted to express his gratitude to his clients and offered them a gift a day for 12 consecutive days as his twist of the 12 Days of Christmas.
Last year Moy shared this idea with fellow fitness professional Pat Rigsby and they expanded the 12 Days of Fitness to include not only their own clients but to the world at large and gave fitness gifts to over 200,000 people who signed up at the site at http://www.12daysoffitness.com/.
This year, with the help of 250 of the world's top personal trainers, nutritionists, therapists and specialist fitness experts, the 12 days of fitness is set to become the biggest fitness gift giveaway in history with expected downloads of over 500,000 between the 10th and 22nd of December. "There’s never been another health event like this, where so many people stand to benefit from the expertise of true professionals for free” says Moy who has been working flat out to make this year’s 12 days a success.
“Fitness professionals from around the globe have contributed hundreds of e-books, reports, videos, meal plans and other free gifts in their hope of making 2009 the year that anyone, regardless or their location, financial situation or past failures, can finally reach their fitness goals and make those New Year's Resolutions a reality once and for all.”
Perhaps the best part of the 12 Days of Fitness giveaway is that regardless of a persons health or fitness goals, there are going to be gifts specifically designed to help them achieve success.
"We've received gifts designed for busy mom's, elite athletes, bodybuilders, back pain sufferers and pretty much anyone else you can imagine covering everything from fat loss to rehabilitation and everything in between.
There literally will be something for everyone this year and all of it free, making it, without a doubt, one of the most important gifts anyone will receive this year. After all, what’s more important than health?”
The 12 days of gift giving starts December 10th but those interested are urged to visit http://www.12daysoffitness.com/ right away to sign up for their free gifts.
Once enrolled, participants will get a daily email telling them how to access each of the new gifts that are being added each day as well as a reminder on how to access previous gifts.
