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.

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.

Jo's Week With Craig - Day four
Hi Guys. Well, the week is drawing to a close for Jo our competition winner from South Australia and she's doing incredibly well. I couldn't have asked for a better student or a better attitude. Honestly. Not just saying that because it sounds appropriate. I'm writing this Thursday night so she has one more day of me to survive. Apart from hanging out and working out with me, Jo has been training with, chatting with and spending time with my awesome team of trainers. This morning she spoke with Annie, did some boxing with Fiona and last night she did a strength session with Cherie (who also happens to be a world-class mountaineer). It's great for Jo to spend time with other positive, passionate and empowered women who are all about her age, if not, older. And the blokes of course (see below with Phil).

I Love Work

philYesterday we trained at the beach. Well, Jo did. I watched. Enthusiastically. And gave orders. That's what we coaches do... coach. An hour of soft sand walking, a little jogging, some ramp running, some stair walking and a lot of spectating by me. I love work. I could watch it all day. Her total training time yesterday was about two hours. No exhaustion, no injuries and no complaints. Nice.

Lights, Camera, Action

Today was interesting for Jo because she had her first TV experience, met a real live TV producer and chatted with the camera guys, the lighting guys and the sound guys. All fun stuff. I interviewed a woman for my segment on Channel Ten next week. The lady I spoke with has an incredible (and I mean incredible) story of surviving against the odds. She has endured seven types of cancer and been told by the experts that she has only months to live on several occasions. She has also endured more abuse (physical, sexual and emotional) than any person I've ever met. And I've met a few. Her story is both tragic and uplifting. It will screen on the 9AM show nationally next Wednesday.

The One Woman Workshop

Earlier tonight Jo and I went into the lecture theatre (at my gym) and I conducted a personal workshop just for her, complete with white board, flow charts, diagrams and an abundance of information. She even took notes! I think in the last day or so that switch has flicked on in Jo's brain. She is finally starting to understand that getting in shape (and staying that way) ain't really about her body after all. We have had several deep and meaningful (chats) over the last few days and despite the brain over-load (her description), I can see that we're making real progress. Today's training was another two hours (or so) of varied cardio split over two sessions.

Zzzzz.....

I apologise for the brevity of this post but it's late, I'm spent and I'm giving a presentation to a hundred corporates first thing tomorrow morning so I best get my beauty sleep and recharge my depleted batteries. As I type these words my body is screaming at me to go to bed so I best pay attention as it knows what I need.

Monday will be a comprehensive report on the week with Jo.

Enjoy your weekend.

Ciao ( )
