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.

a CHDC update, Feb. 19, 2009
Hello Champions. Plenty going on at the moment around the Harperdome and in the rest of my world too. I'm scooting up to the Gold Coast this morning for a speaking gig. I fly (or flew) out at six(ish). I'll do my thing in Queensland and be back in the thriving metropolis of Melbourne by three, for a five o'clock meeting. Sigh. I may need some cheesecake to get through. Just a sliver.

Today I thought I'd update you all on the goings-on here at me-dot-com. There's a bit to fill you in on.

On-line Personal Training

On-line (or remote) Personal Training is something that we are regularly asked about here at me-dot-com but not something that we have ever really developed or pursued in any significant way. Until now.

Feedback and constant enquiries tells us that there are plenty of people who would like to use the services of a quality Trainer without necessarily doing the face-to-face thing. For geographic, financial and a range of personal reasons, not everyone wants to, or is able to, exercise with a Trainer in a commercial gym, a PT facility or even their home.

The lady in the photo next to the ugly bald bloke is my new Director of On-line Training, Dee Britton. With a double degree in Human Movement and Teaching, a certification in NLP, a decade of hands-on PT experience and outstanding people skills, Dee is a gift from heaven for my team. You can learn more about how the on-line stuff works here.

RYL Competition

A little while back I informed you that one of my readers had kindly purchased a place at our upcoming two-day RYL program for someone who would love to be there but for financial reasons, couldn't make it along. I also decided that I would pay for the winner's return airfares. Not a bad deal for someone. Anyway, I have since forgotten to mention this opportunity but I thought I'd remind you that entries close next Monday (Feb. 23rd) and we'll announce the winner by Friday the 27th. If you're interested, all we need from you is a hundred (or so) words telling us why you would benefit from being part of the program.

RYL Places?

For the rest of you who would like to book into the program but haven't done so yet, there are about twenty places remaining. So tarry not Grasshoppers.

News on Hellen

On Monday I shared with you a letter from one of my readers who was caught in the middle of the recent bush fires. Her name is Hellen and like hundreds of others survivors, she is doing amazing things and finding strength, courage and ability that she never knew she had. Today I spoke with her on the phone and she is doing great. Completely exhausted, but great. It's still somewhat overwhelming because there are so many practical things to negotiate as Hellen and her family try to reconstruct their lives. We are catching up next week for a coffee and a gigantic slab of cheesecake. Hellen may have some also.

Your Questions

I haven't forgotten your questions. If you have a question that you don't mind being answered in a public forum, say... this website, then shoot it through (via the email Craig thingy) and I'll do my best to answer it for you in the near future. I intend to start using your questions as the basis for some of my daily posts. And yes, I can answer your question without sharing your identity. "Dear Craig, I have this nasty rash... "

New Faces at the Harperdome

The last few weeks have been busy at Harper's (my base in Brighton). Johnny and Mikey keep employing new people when I'm not looking and the payroll keeps growing. Fortunately I don't get paid so that helps.... hang on. Anyway, I'd like to introduce you to the newest members of our team:

Gary Hall - Gary is our new uber-masseur. He has magic hands, has worked with numerous Olympians, elite athletes and teams and I have a minor man-crush on him. That's him in the picture next to your's truly.

Lachlan Goss - Lachy has just commenced a twelve-month traineeship with Harper's and will eventually be one of my full-time trainers. For the next year he will be worked like a dog and paid very little. Suck it up Pretty Boy.

Jay Bruno - Jay is annoyingly good looking and buff. He has just started as one of my new Trainers.

Kylie Stewart - Kylie is a Mentor and Life-Coach and is much more affordable than me! She has a great track record and consistently produces quality results with her clients. Some people say she smells and looks better than me, but I'm not sure.

Daniel Brooks Reid - Dan has been around for a couple of months and is also one of my new(er) Trainers. He is currently completing his final year of physiotherapy (physical therapy for my US readers) and is something of a smarty pants.

Rona Gamble - Last but not least is Rona (Veronica). While Rona is not at all new to Harper's, she has a completely new role; my business partner in the gym. In the last two weeks, Rona has officially stepped into the role of business owner and along with Mikey (my other business partner) and Johnny, she will run Harper's on a day-to-day basis.

I hope you didn't find that too self-indulgent or mindlessly boring. Thought you might wanna know what I do when I'm not blogging or speaking.

As always, feel free to say hello or share your thoughts. If you're not sure how to leave a comment, click here. Yes, even you chronic Lurkers.

Ciao x
