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.

variables. Craig has an ability to educate, inspire,
challenge and make people laugh all at the same

Hello you crazy, wacky, funsters. I trust that your week is going well and that in between your bouts of 'amazing', you're finding your 'off' switch.
I need to apologise in advance for the audio on today's videos... we had a few production issues and let's just say that the boy Spielberg is in no immediate danger. It's kind of crappy sound for the first minute or so but it improves a little.
Today we take a look at some great ideas to train your body with little or no equipment. You don't need barbells, cables or machines to work a muscle effectively, that's for sure. Big thanks to the lovely Sarah who demonstrated the exercises for me. She's not quite as pretty as me but good try anyway Sarah!
Hello Groovers. Another week slides by and I have had an obscene amount of fun. Again. Sometimes I feel a little guilty that I get paid to do fun stuff and hang out with cool people. I'll continue to deal with the guilt though. Trooper.
Have you done 'amazing' this week? Had some fun? You promised me (and you) that you would... remember? Made some different decisions? Communicated differently? Stopped sabotaging yourself? Stepped away from your safety net?
Or are you still in that 'holding pattern'? Waiting for the magical (and mysteriously elusive) 'right time'? Waiting schmaiting. Start doing. It's much more fun.
Some random thoughts and updates before you watch today's video-post.
1. A few weeks ago I wrote a post about 'Danny', a great bloke who is in desperate need of some massive change in his life. His story generated lots of feedback and support. Thanks for that. Well, the good news is that Boy Wonder has made a decision. Yep, he's training with one of my trainers (Adam) twice a day - ten sessions a week!! He's been doing that for nearly two weeks, has lost some weight, is in a much better head space, has made a commitment, is creating some real momentum and he's doing well - good work Dan. He knows it ain't about two weeks (it's about life)... so we will be cheering him on all the way and keeping you updated. Go Dan!
2. We will be booking a venue for our Renovate Your Life program in the next two weeks, so finally(!) we will be able to give you a date, venue and definite cost for our two day live-in program. If you are interested in reserving a place and spending two days with me, the bald man and some of our amazing team, email Johnnie your details and he will save you a place. Or two. And no, this does not obligate you... but we need a reasonably accurate idea of numbers - so don't reserve a place unless you're kinda sure.
3. Picked up a new speaking gig this week... in Fiji! Yep, tough life... having to fly to a tropical island to do a whole forty five minutes work!!! I think I may have to spend a few days recovering there. It's a living.
4. Periodically (okay, often) a typo (spelling mistake) will slip under the radar here at craigharper.com. I often miss them when I'm re-reading my own stuff... and although I love the bald man, he is the second worst proof reader in the world. So, if you find a typo and you have the energy, please click on the comment thingy at the bottom of that particular post, and let us know. Thanks! Don't even bother with the grammar... just the spelling.
5. If there's something you would particularly like me to write on... lemme know. If I can, I will.
Enjoy your weekend and the video... it's ridiculous as usual. If you're looking for some quality education and inspiration, this week's effort definitely ain't it!!
Group Hug ( ) - it's been a while... don't wantcha to feel neglected.
Us Aussies are champion procrastinators and excuse makers.... there's always seems to be a very legitimate reason why we can't start today. Some of us spend the majority of our life waiting for the magical 'right time' to do whatever it is we should have done five years ago.
"I'll start next Monday (apparently we can only change behaviours on Mondays), next week, next month, when the kids are at school, when it's not so dark in the morning, when all the planets align, when my back's not so sore, when Tasmania reconnects with the mainland."
We don’t know why, but people go crazy for these shirts. Perhaps it’s because they allow us to tell people what we really think without wasting our breath! Order your shirt here.
'You're Not the Boss of Me' T-Shirts
Are you sick
of the bossy people in your world? Well,
this T-shirt could solve all of your
problems and change your life. But then
again, probably not. Order your shirt

WOW that's awesome Craig, - very functional exercises and YES Sarah looks HOT! When whe competes she is only half my current weight, - looks EXCELLANTE!!!
I recently found your site and spend the last hour or more watching your videos and reading your articles.
I love the information you are providing in such a practical way and it is entertaining as well. Love your jokes and sense of humor. You don't seem to take yourself too seriously.
Well......... I've been busy all week, finally get my butt back to a puter... and this is what I see!!!! Man oh man.... can't leave you two alone for a second!!!! Had a good laugh... Which is why we all tune in to Harperman and Captain Johnnie..... Good to be back.... Hope you're all behaving!!! Nice work Danny..... Keep it up... I'm sure all the good folk down at Harperville will help keep you on track. Had an amazing week.... Closed some doors... opened some new ones... OMG... AMAZING doesn't even begin to descibe it!!! Look out world... here I come... Be good. See you soon KK XXX
Thanks for the video post! AWESOME! Love how you and Johnnie can be idiots at times!!!
Cheers for the info on supplements, - will stay keeping away from them me thinks! Cheaper too is another bonus!
GO DANNY!!! That's awesome! Look forward to following his progress! You'll need to go out on a cycle ride with him, - as you did with 'Lance' soon!
Pleased to report: * I've expanded my 'comfort zone' from ever before, had some FUN, did lots of DOING's, - some of them totally new and have kept a good level of control for me and have lost about a kilo this week, - official weigh in tomorrow!!! Am very active in day but got in intense training as well a few times this week!
Singing lessons (twice!), rollerblading (I can now skate backwards!! YAY!!)and painting every day even if I don't feel much like it, entered an art competition on time (JUST, but at least the due date didn't come and go while I was still talking about it this year) and I'm feeling like a bit of a champion :-) Yay Danny! Go you good thing!

Hi fellas
Loved all the info.
gotta say that the best part for me was quote" nose picking dyslexic". Cacked myself.... I know you are an only child Craig, but would you like to adopt me as your little sister? Being the youngest of 4 with 3 older brothers, I think I would cope really well with this kind of verbal torment lol.
have a great weekend:)
Btw- 8 more sleeps till my first tri.

Hey Craig. Some lessons and some laughs - just what I needed. Thanks.
Nice work Blokes. Love the down to earth factor of your lessons Craig. I'm over the bullshit and the super-hypers. Keep keeping it real. Less fluff and more honesty is what we all need. I'll be sending a bunch to your blog. Well done.

Thank guys. Nose picking doesn't that contain some protein and is that along the lines of the Rudd diet (munching on ear wax). I will throw in a ra ra too for Danny hope he has some goals set too once he has reached where he wants to go. Cheers

Hi Craig, many thanks re cellulite info. I've always had a great fit body but age is creeping on and so was the lack of *hard* fitness. I'm prob only about 6 kilos over the weight I was 25 yrs ago, so just a *little* spare tyre - yuk!
I'm more serious about my diet and exercise again and am slowly shifting the cellulite fat deposits - yay! So just remind me how the massage cellulite solutions and oils work?? Clearly only on the pocket!
I'm also interested in knowing how menopause effects our muscle building, weight gain, fitness etc. I don't have any typical symptoms which may be due to good luck or sheer determination not to - or sound fitness and good health?? - yay anyway!
thanks again guys!

Gday Craig,
I was checking out the archives and came across this one...my computer wont read it after I re-installed Adobe...is there any way you could post it as a word document? If not I'll find a way to get it eventually :)
