Nutrition
Many
nutritional experts confuse people with their jargon
and pseudo-science. Let Craig's Director of
Nutrition cut through the dietary confusion and
contradiction for you.
Fattitude
- Craig Harper
While many books focus on food,
Craig teaches that creating life-long change is more about the
dieter, than the actual diet. This book is perfect for people who have a
history of 'almost' getting in shape.
DVD
or CD - Renovate Your Body In this entertaining presentation, Craig discusses the
notion of Renovating Your Body - once and for all. Many of us have a curious
ability to be able to get in shape for events (weddings, parties, reunions
and birthdays), if only we'd get in shape for life.
Craig Harper is Australia's leading
motivational speaker
and educator (according to Google Australia). He is a highly
sought-after corporate coach and is considered to be
a leader and pioneer in the areas of personal and
professional development.
Working with hundreds of
teams, companies and a wide variety of organisations
on numerous continents over the last twenty years
has given Craig a unique insight into, and
understanding of, human performance and all its
variables. Craig has an ability to educate, inspire,
challenge and make people laugh all at the same
time!
Rather than spending my morning replying individually to the numerous emails asking essentially the same questions, I thought that today we could have our very own Newsletter (of sorts) to let you know what's going on here at medotcom.
Project Craig Update
As some of you may remember, just before Christmas I hopped on the scales and they said "one at a time please". Clearly this was a signal for me to drop a few kilos; too much blogging and too little training for the Endomorphic Exercise Scientist. Although there was some scurrilous and completely unsubstantiated talk of yours truly indulging in cheesecake and the occasional chicken parmigiana (so not true), I'm sure the gradual weight gain couldn't possibly have had anything to do with my diet. Azif. To all the people who write and ask me how my fat self is travelling, thanks for taking an interest.
While I'm obviously still no jockey (see photo), I have dropped the ten kilos (22lbs) I wanted to and I'm currently sitting on 90kgs (198lbs), which is about where I want to be. If you look hard you can still see remnants of the old bodybuilder. Squint a bit perhaps. Johnnie snapped this shot yesterday while I was hauling my sorry ass up and down the stairs lugging some dumbbells (stairs are an awesome workout by the way - massive calorie burner and great for your butt and legs).
Anyway, for those of you who are interested in how I train, I lift weights three to four days per week (quite intensely) for about forty five minutes and I do cardio four days (moderate intensity) for about thirty minutes. It ain't about how much you train, it's about how well you train. What about my flexibility I hear you ask? I last stretched in 1987. I didn't enjoy it. Don't tell anyone. I should stretch more. I probably won't.
Forum Update
Our newforum has gone off like a frog in a sock and traffic is growing by the day. Feel free to jump on and start a new conversation (by clicking on the New Topic button) or join in an existing one (by clicking on the Post Reply button). If you're still confused and you have a specific question call Johnnie during business hours (03 9553 8857) or you can email your query to him here. It's great to see all the accountability partners hooking up and the wheels of progress starting to turn. Well done guys.
Renovate Your Life Workshop
Well our RYL Workshop is filling up and we've already got people booked in from nearly every state in Australia, a few from New Zealand and a guy who wants to fly out from England for the day! He's planning the logistics of it all as I write. Too funny. It's on June 22 and promises to be a life-changing day for those who can get along.
Renovate Your Body DVD For Sale
Johnnie often gets enquiries about whether or not we have DVDs available of any of my presentations or workshops. Well, we have just released our first DVD in a series of ten to be wheeled out over the next two years. It's called Renovate Your Body and was filmed recently at a corporate gig here in Australia. In it I explore the nuts and bolts of getting in shape and staying that way. Forever. It runs for 52 minutes and as you'd expect is highly offensive, politically incorrect, mildly educational and periodically amusing. You can check it out by clicking on the image.
That's it; a brief snapshot of what's going on. Sorry for subjecting you to two photos of me in the one post - I won't do it again. I'm in Sydney today doing a gig with a company called Alinta (the power people), so I'll think of you while I'm eating my Chicken Parma by the harbour. Er, I mean - chicken salad (sorry, typo). Enjoy your day, do something spectacular and click on the comment thingy to say hi and share your thoughts.
