Drama Vs. Data 4: Acceptance
“Hey! What’s up? So I’m sitting here just doing some work, planning things out and doing some quiet contemplation and I was thinking about the issues that people bring up around certain topics and this is part of the Drama Vs. Data theme that I’ve been going with… so the Drama Vs. Data theme is you know when people get on the scale, are they creating drama or just looking at as a data point.
And so here’s the thing… when someone has drama of getting on the scale the only reason that they have drama is because their belief systems around where their weight should be, they believe they’re in the wrong, they believe not where they should be. Well, they’re exactly where they should be because that’s the reality of the situation, right? so the accumulation of all the past decisions and actions have created where they should be. All right, think about it like this… we have MYZONE belts. It’s a strap that goes around your chest, it checks your heartrate, it tells you how many MEPs like how many calories kind you’re burning etcetera, how much energy you’re putting up based on your heart rate. I’ve yet to see a person go “Oh… no! I don’t wanna see my heart rate, I can’t see my heart rate…no! Oh God! No…” which is what we get with the scale right? “No… I don’t wanna weigh in today, I don’t wanna check my weight, I was bad over the weekend… can we weigh in later? I don’t wanna say… blah! blah! blah!…” and on and on and on and drama drama drama stories drama, stories drama. Well why isn’t that true for the heart rate? Well, because the heart rates are reflection of past decisions, etc.. Well the reason is there’s no stories in line around the heart rate. You know in the media there’s images, impressions, thoughts and beliefs that are put upon us by our parents, the media, etcetera like all these things they’re impressed upon us and we have a belief systems about where we should be. And people don’t wanna step on the scale because they don’t wanna see the reality or the truth. They don’t wanna face the truth, they don’t want to accept where they are at.
Acceptance is the first step in the transformation process. Once you get through acceptance, then and only then can you change. All right, so stepping on the scale if there’s an issue there’s a lot much deeper work that needs to be done so we’re transformation experts in getting people to lose weight, also mind-body transformation incorporates the mind aspect which is more powerful right? so if you lose the weight but you still have the problem with the scale, the transformation is not taking place.
If you’re able to step on the scale and accept where you’re at, that’s actually where the transformation is because now you can accept it and now you can move forward. And now you can accept all the actions you’ve done in the past and now you can accept your future to be greater, better and achieve moving forward to your grandest vision. So until that is done then it’s going to be hard to create the future you want so until you accept the past, until you accept where you are in the present it will be extremely hard. I won’t say it’s impossible but it will be extremely hard to get to where you are going because you can’t accept what’s already been there. So you’re not living in the present if you’re not living in the present you are not gonna take actions based on where you want to be in the future. I hope that makes sense, I hope this helps anybody who’s struggling with weight or they have more drama in getting on the scale then they do just looking at a data point.”

Drama Vs. Data: Which one are you feeding?
Drama Vs. Data: Which one are you feeding?
“Hey! What’s up? Today I want to cover a topic which is Drama Vs. Data. Since we’re a personal training facility part of our value is tracking data and holding people accountable to move in towards the data that they are looking for and that data would be weighing people in, re-doing our InBody assessment that graphs everything out, also doing before and after pictures; and just those 3 points of data can tell you a massive amount. And then we’re also adding the heart rate monitors coming in soon. So we’re going to have polar flow heart rate monitors where you can see on the screen what your percentage of heart rate is, what your max, your lowest heart rate throughout your workout, how fast you recover, etc. and that will give you even more data. And so the more data we give the better.
Now there’s difference between data and drama. Drama is… “Ugh! I’m so fat, Ugh! I don’t feel good, I don’t feel like doing that, I can’t do that… blah blah blah…” that is drama. And drama takes you further away from your goal whereas data takes you closer to your goals so for an example if someone is going to weigh in… “Ugh! I just feel so fat, I just take so much on the weekend, I hate the scale, I can’t weigh in, I don’t feel good…” that’s drama or approaching the scale by saying “You know what this is telling me that 20lbs away from where I would like to be…” and now that’s data. If you focus on the drama, you’re not going to get closer to your goal, and that drama, that feeling, and that vibration you’re giving off actually is a low energy which takes you further away from your goal whereas the data brings you closer because it’s a mindset change.
So what I would suggest or consider looking at where do you have drama in your life that is actually stopping you from getting to where you want to be and turn that into data. So change the mindset around it. Just say Okay, you know you can relate it to anything so weight how you feel, money in the bank right you know would people have this reels in their head that are telling them so that’s a certain thing. And so, your self dialogue comes from your thoughts, your thoughts come from your feelings and your feelings come from your environment so ultimately either something needs to change in your environment, or you’re not hanging around the right people to make you feel good, you’re not living in an environment that makes you feel good, feel healthy and happy, you’re not buying the right foods, the foods that might trigger the emotional eating. So your environment ultimately dictates your feelings, thoughts, actions, all those things and can create more drama. So, stay away from the drama, focus on the data and you will get closer to your goals.”

Beaufort Health and Fitness: 8 Essential Household Remedies
In this age of medicine, we are sometimes overwhelmed by the vast amount of man-made remedies to our natural problems. Got a cold? Here’s some drugs. Allergies? Take shots. High cholesterol/blood pressure/blood sugar? Drugs, drugs, drugs. Both OTC and prescription medications seem as natural as inhaling and exhaling these days. But is medicating really necessary?
The answer is: not always. Studies have shown that modern medicine, (while helpful in traumatic health situations), can be less than effective in day-to-day illnesses such as the common cold or high blood pressure. Basically, you can avoid taking drugs for most non-emergency health needs. In this article Beaufort Health and Fitness: 8 Essential Household Remedies, you will find eight essential household remedies to avoid not only higher risk man-made medicines, but high-priced doctor visits as well. Those remedies are oregano oil, garlic powder, essential oils, coconut oil, chlorella, manuka honey, bentonite clay, and baking soda.
OREGANO OIL
You’re probably familiar with oregano – it has been used as a culinary spice for thousands of years. Did you know that it also has anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties, as well as assisting with weight loss and the relief of respiratory disorders, gastrointestinal disorders, urinary tract infections, menstrual cramps and even acne? Oregano oil can also be used as a supplement to weight loss – the properties of this natural weight loss supplement act to deconstruct lipids, making it easier to lose weight. Additionally, a study performed by a team in India has offered evidence that oregano oil can even be used as an antibiotic due to its proven use to combat and kill superbugs such as MRSA. Lastly, “oil of oregano is a safe, natural home remedy that effectively treats sinus infection without altering the body’s natural balance” like over the counter anti-biotics. “Oregano has very potent antibacterial and antioxidant properties. In fact, on a gram per gram comparison, oregano has 42 times more antioxidant abilities than apples. When oil of oregano is used as an alternative sinus infection treatment, it eliminates the underlying cause of the condition. The oil also possesses specific anti-inflammatory properties, relieving swelling in the nasal cavities and facilitating freer flow of mucus in the nasal passages.” Just a few drops beneath the tongue and you are good to go. Used for centuries in the Himalayas and many other places around the world, oregano oil is a definite must-have for your natural remedies shelf.
Here is one of the best brands that I have found and used http://www.amazon.com/Oregano-CERTIFIED-ORGANIC-Joy-Mountain/dp/B000IEXEXS
GARLIC POWDER
Also used as a delightful kitchen spice, garlic powder has many substantial health benefits. The same properties that produce the strong smell also have been shown to lower cholesterol, strengthen the immune system, kill off bad bacteria (detox), improve cardiovascular health, and thin the blood (great for lowering blood pressure. People with hyperthyroid conditions can also benefit from the high levels of iodine in garlic powder, which is useful in regulating insulin levels in the body. There are also topical uses for garlic powder, as it has been shown to lessen the symptoms of fungal infections such as athlete’s foot and ringworm. Supposedly it was even used during WWII to treat the infections of wounded soldiers, suggesting that it is also useful as an antibiotic. Does your child have an earache? Great news! Garlic powder can also be used to treat ear infections in a natural and no-risk way. It has also shown to be useful as an antibacterial, which is much safer than many manufactured disinfectants.
Here is a great garlic powder that I have used http://retailbiopure.me/Organic-Freeze-Dried-Garlic-p33.html
ESSENTIAL OILS
Used for relaxation by many across the world, essential oils have many other medicinal uses. When applied topically, they can
•boost your immune system,
• relieve menstrual cramps,
• reduce the risk of stress related illnesses,
• relieve tension headaches,
• and treat cold sores.
Some oils are specific to certain treatments; other oils, like peppermint, have a wide range of uses and cures. For example, peppermint can be used to
• ease headaches,
• relieve teeth grinding at night (known in the medical community as bruxism),
• and ease sore feet (particularly when paired with epsom salts!).
Another emerging use of essential oils is the detoxification from fluoroquinolones. What are fluoroquinolones? They are a once popular antibiotic treatment that has been shown to be harmful to the nerves. The presence of fluoroquinolones in the body is detrimental to overall health, yet they are present in several prescription antibiotics. In order to detox the body from these harmful substances, the essential oils from Doterra oils, DDR prime, Digestzen and Frankincense have been used and proven extremely effective in the relief of symptoms and removing fluoroquinolones from the body entirely.
It is also worth noting that in most cases, these proven side effects are not publicized. A number of after-the-fact studies discovered that many have suffered severe nerve damage (among other distresses) due to fluoroquinolones in antibiotics, and never knew the cause prior due to either a lack of or misinformation. Manufactured antibiotics are oftentimes quite harmful to the system, and naturally occurring antibiotics (such as garlic powder, manuka honey, and oregano oil) should be administered first in non-life threatening medical situations.
I have personally used the following oils:
DDR prime
Digestzen
Frankincense (You may remember this as the gift given in the Bible)
Benefits of these oils include:
•Repaired nerves
•Improved sleep
•Improved respiration
•Relaxation/ aroma therapy
•Improved digestion
•antibiotic/antimicrobial/antifungal properties
I buy so much of it I decided to join the Doterra Club 🙂

COCONUT OIL
Coconut oil brings back memories of sweets in the kitchen and the best snow cone flavor during the summer. Some of the relaxation it brings to mind may not just be due to fond memories! It has been shown that coconut oil can aid in stress relief, high blood pressure, and digestion. No wonder those memories are happy! Even more substantial uses for coconut oil include relieving the symptoms of diabetes, HIV, cancer, epilepsy, and Alzheimer’s. In societies where the coconut is native (and thus a staple of the diet), there have found to be surprisingly high levels of dental quality and bone strength! You can also de-stress while you shampoo, as coconut oil is proven to have restorative effects on hair follicles and rough ends. The list goes on and on with coconut oil as it helps with:
•Weight loss
•Strengthening immune system
•Prevent and cure candida (antimicrobials, antiviral and antibacterial)
•Healing and infections
•skin care
•heart disease

CHLORELLA
Found in freshwater, chlorella is an algae used as a natural remedy. One of the most tried and true uses of chlorella is maintaining healthy levels of iron during pregnancy to prevent anemia. Anemia is a very common and dangerous problem during pregnancy; a mother can reduce the likelihood of prenatal anemia by taking 6 grams of chlorella daily. People have also used chlorella to treat and lessen the symptoms of cancer, and these effects are currently being researched. More substantially proven uses include prevention of health issues caused by stress, constipation, bad breath, and hypertension. Due to its high protein content, chlorella is also a great food for those with such conditions as hypoglycemia, which require high levels of protein to regulate blood sugar levels. Speaking of the blood, chlorella has found to be quite effective in cleansing the blood, specifically in the detoxification of trace metals from the bloodstream.
MANUKA HONEY
Honey has long been used as a remedy for sore throats, and everyone knows that taking a spoonful of local honey daily can help relieve and even prevent allergies. But its uses go much farther than that. Manuka honey, which originates in New Zealand, has high antioxidant properties, which are known preventatives of certain types of cancer. There is also hydrogen peroxide present in this type of honey, which makes it an effective antibiotic and aid in defending against bacteria. It can also be used to treat burns and heal inflamed skin, as evidenced by its use in World War II (much like garlic powder!) to treat wounds and powder burns. Don’t have a medical trauma like the ones listed above? Manuka honey can also be used to improve digestion, give you a lift in energy, and restore elasticity to your skin when applied topically! In addition, manuka honey has been undergoing scientific testing that has proven hopeful that it may be a useful antibiotic against superbugs such as MRSA (much like oregano oil).
BENTONITE CLAY
Bentonite clay is a highly effective and surprisingly versatile substance! Here’s why: all matter has a charge, whether positive, negative, or neutral. Many toxins (metals, dirt, and other trace particles) that manage to make their way onto our skin have negative charges. Bentonite clay, on the other hand, has a positive charge. That means, when applied to your skin, it automatically attracts these toxins. That isn’t the only way it gets foreign matter from your skin – it also has sponge-like qualities. When applied dry and then have water applied, bentonite clay expands, sucking at the traces of toxins present in your pores, thus becoming an even more effective method of skin detox. Additionally, the use of bentonite clay can help the immune system, aid in digestion, and give you an energy boost.
This is the one I have used with great results BENTONITE CLAY
BAKING SODA
Baking soda is probably one of the better known and more generally accepted home remedies. One of the most common health uses of this household item is as relief when acids are churning away in an upset stomach. Beyond being an effective antacid, baking soda can also be used as an antiseptic, clearing injuries of harmful bacteria while leaving the beneficial bacteria intact. Athletes also drink baking soda in order to improve performance on their particular fields. Less commonly known uses for baking soda include cold and flu relief, the shrinking of kidney stones, and relieving of the symptoms of gout and urinary tract infections. Natural beauty gurus have long held close the uses of baking soda as a dry shampoo and facial scrub, while more medicinal beauty uses include teeth whitener, nail cleaner, and acne treatment.
While modern medicine has its uses, normally there is an alternative method. There are safer, cheaper, more natural ways soothe your ailments without turning to manufactured chemicals. Many of these 9 essential household remedies you already have in your pantry – why not give them a try? The list of side effects for most of them is much shorter than any given prescription drug, and as an added bonus, there’s only one ingredient! Save your time; save your money; save yourself! Next time you’re sick with a cold, don’t reach for the medicine cabinet – reach for one of these nine essential household remedies.
EarthFIT Quick Reference Homeopathic Cures
Beaufort Fitness: Weight Training
There are a few misconceptions about weight training. Many people associate weight training with muscle bound body builders and pro football players. It is true that people with super fit bodies get that way by including weight training in their Beaufort fitness plan, but weight training is not what creates bulky muscles. In fact, weight training is an ideal way to speed up weight loss. It is also a great way to ward off aging and to increase energy. It’s really simple actually. EarthFIT has the equipment and a Beaufort personal trainer know how that can get you on your way to a healthier, fitter you.
One of the best ways to fight the aging process and to increase core strength is through Beaufort fitness: weight training. Getting older does not mean you have to become frail. Through weight training you can increase your strength and improve your general Beaufort fitness level. The stamina that you increase through the proper use of weights during your training session will easily help you to shed pounds and shave off the years. There is scientific evidence that supports the idea that a good weight-training program will actually turn back the clock and fight osteoporosis.
For the ladies that shy away from weight training because they fear getting “bulky” rest assured the professional staff at EarthFIT understand how the body works and can help you to tone up without the bulk. Most people don’t realize that by adding weights to your workout you are seriously increasing the benefit of your workouts. Adding weight training to your routine will directly translate into your everyday life and improve your performance in other activities making them easier to accomplish.
You can sculpt your body to get a longer leaner look by using the right amount of weights progressively, and doing the right exercises, but attempting to figure out what to do and how much to use on your own might be a bit difficult. In many cases people that have set out to do this on their own have found that they were not achieving the results that they expected and some even injured themselves by using the weights wrong with incorrect form (they might have even had a less-than-reputable trainer).
So they watch their investment go to waste and wind up selling their equipment turned clothes hanger at a garage sale. The professionals at EarthFIT can provide you with the guidance that you need to get the look that you want. You do not have to take on the task of designing a plan and sticking to it alone, EarthFIT can be your specialized support system.
The luxury of a personal trainer that can show you the ropes is not exclusively linked to the lifestyles of the rich and famous, just about anyone can afford to use the services at EarthFIT. The real question is; can you afford not to? It is actually cost effective to train at EarthFIT when you compare it to buying the equipment and the risk that you take having at it alone. Of course there are other gyms that offer the same equipment but what really sets EarthFIT apart is the Beaufort personal trainers that are there for YOU.
There is no doubt that the benefits are tremendous! EarthFIT can help you look and feel your very best through weight training. At EarthFIT all your excuses will go right out the window. You will want to be there and take advantage of this great program.
Keep Your Mind Sharp with Exercise
Recent research shows that a well-rounded exercise program can help improve your cognitive function by enhancing areas of your brain that are associated with memory and learning. Researchers at Harvard Medical School found that exercise promotes a process called neurogenesis, which determines your brain’s ability to adapt and grow new brain cells.
Being physically active stimulates the production of a protein known as FNDC5, which, over time, stimulates the production of another protein called Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF). BDNF stimulates the growth of new nerves and synapses and preserves the survival of existing brain cells.
But this is just the tip of the iceberg.
Exercise Creates Large Cognitive Gains
Aside from promoting optimal brain health by triggering the release of BDNF, exercise also:
- Increases production of nerve-protecting compounds
- Improves and increases blood flow to your brain
- Improves the development and survival of neurons
- May help slow the development of Alzheimer’s disease
Exercise can benefit anyone – at any age. Even people who start a fitness regimen in their senior years can improve their cognitive function.
A team of researchers at the University of Edinburgh followed more than 600 people starting at age 70, who kept detailed logs of their everyday physical, mental, and social habits. After three years, the participants’ brains were imaged for age-related changes, such as brain shrinkage and damage to the white matter (the “wiring” of your brain’s communication system).
The team found that the seniors who engaged in the most physical exercise had the least amount of brain shrinkage.
In another study conducted by Kirk Erickson, PhD of the University of Pittsburgh, it was revealed that adults between 60 and 80 years old increased the volume of their hippocampus, the region of the brain that is essential for memory, by two percent. Erickson also found that people with higher fitness levels had a larger prefrontal cortex. He claimed that exercise is “one of the most promising non-pharmaceutical treatments to improve brain health.”
Your Overall Health Benefits from Exercise
Exercise also positively affects your immune system and your ability to fight chronic diseases. It helps you:
• Sleep better
• Lose, gain, or maintain weight (depending on your goal)
• Fight the common cold and flu and improve your resistance to infections
• Prevent and relieve chronic pain, including joint pain, osteoarthritis, and back and musculoskeletal pain
•Banish depression and improve your emotional health
Exercise can help improve your emotional health and is even known as one of the “secret weapons” to overcoming depression. Being physical active can help normalize insulin resistance and boost your natural “feel good” hormones and neurotransmitters that are linked to the mood control in your brain.
Exercise and a Healthy Diet Go Hand-in-Hand
Many people often forget that consuming the right type of food is also an important pillar of fitness. Remember: you can exercise all you want, but if you do not master what you eat, you will never achieve optimal health.
It is crucial that you know which foods provide the most bang for your buck in terms of supporting your fitness goals. Ideally, you should eat mostly wholesome, organic foods. Some of your best choices are avocados, coconuts and coconut oil, organic pastured meats, eggs, dairy, and high-quality whey protein.
At the same time, avoid all processed, nutritionally-deficient foods and beverages, including sugar-loaded sports drinks and energy drinks. You must also avoid or reduce all sugars (especially fructose) and grains.

Health and fitness Beaufort: Exercise and Eat Fruits Regularly
Did you know that the obesity rate in America has tripled during the last 30 years? It goes without saying that health and fitness should be a priority in all our lives. Unfortunately for some, it doesn’t come as easy or naturally. If you want health and fitness in your life, then you need to start with the basics. Let’s start with your diet. Here’s a simple suggestion: Watch what you eat!
The foods that you eat will ultimately show on your body. So if your diet consists of fatty food such as burgers, pizza, desserts and fries, then don’t be surprised to experience tiredness all the time and eventually become overweight. In many cases, obesity sets in along with other associated and serious health risks. If you are serious about losing weight, then you need to make a lifestyle change. Here are tips that will help you to lose weight effectively.
Health and Fitness Beaufort in Your Diet
• Drink Fresh Juices Not Sodas – Soft drinks (sodas) have been linked to obesity, diabetes and even faster aging. But there have also been claims of kidney problems due to the phosphoric acid in sodas. Stay away from them! Yes, this includes diet sodas. To get a truckload of energy in the morning, start your day with a fresh glass of fresh fruit and vegetable juices. Certain vitamins and minerals are reduced or destroyed by heat so juicing raw, fresh (preferably organic) fruits and veggies help bring those essential nutrients to your body.
• Whip Up A Fruit Salad – Most health experts recommend that fruits should be taken on an empty stomach to bring out its potency inside the body (or at least 30 minutes after eating a meal). So during snack time, try to replace your donuts or bag of chips with a healthy serving of fruit salad. You can achieve health and fitness Beaufort in your diet as well as Beaufort weight loss just by making this quick and easy switch. Try blueberries, apples, oranges, strawberries and others.
** BONUS TIP: Drink lots of water. Among other things, water transports nutrients to the body’s tissues, maintains blood pressure for the proper cardiovascular functioning and flushes out toxins. Losing about 9-12% of your body’s water can be fatal. So drink up!

Beaufort Personal Training: EarthFIT Holiday Workouts
EarthFIT Holiday Workout 1
“Hey! What’s going on? It’s Ian Hart here! And here is Holiday Workout #1. It’s going to be four exercises thus, many circuit is going to take about 3 minutes roughly. So I want you to do 3 – 5 sets of this. This workout should take less than 20 minutes total if you do all these exercises. You can do variations of these exercise so I am going to explain as we go through them. If you don’t have weights you can do all these exercises without weights, or you can grab something around the house that adds a little bit more of weight to this.
The first exercise that we will be doing is going to be squat to backwards lunge. I am using a kettlebell for this. We are going to start of lifting up, do a backwards lunge, lift it up again alternating legs, squat, backwards lunge, squat, you are going to do 10 reps on each side. So squatting, backwards lunge – 20 reps.
The next exercise is going to be what some people call a Dive Bomber Push Up. You’re going to get through a V position, feet wide, hips up in the air, you are going to come down and up and then repeat – reversing the movement. So coming down then pushing your body back up and repeat. Back down, and up. You are going to do 15 to 20 reps of the Dive Bomber push-ups.
Then you are going to do 20 jump squats, if your body is not ready for jumping you are just going to do 20 fast body weights squats. Jump squats are just going to be like this – you want to land nice and soft, just get up in the air. If you are familiar with plyometrics then you can go higher and jump higher in the air, make sure you are landing nice and soft, 20 reps of jump squats.
And then bicycle abs. You are going to do 20 nice and fast and then 20 nice and slow, One counts your elbow to knee so one, two, three… this would be fast and then 20 slow. Make sure you’re squeezing the abs and then repeat…
– Squat to backwards lunge (20 reps)
– Dive Bomber push-ups (15-20 reps)
– Jump squats (20 reps)
– Bicycle abs (20 fast, 20 slow)
So that’s Holiday Workout #1. Get to that and you’re going to have two more exercises or two more exercise regimens following up on this in the next couple of days.
Alright, I hope you have a great holiday and enjoy the workout.”
EarthFIT Holiday Workout 2
“Hey! What’s going on? It’s Ian Hart here at EarthFIT and here’s Holiday Workout #2. Again it’s 4 exercises. Each exercise should take about 45 seconds to a minute. So it’s a total of 16 to 20 minutes and it’s going to be 4 exercises that you do without weight, but I’m going to show you with weight.
The first one is going to be forward and backwards lunge so it’s going to incorporate legs and also stability; you’re going to have to balance. So I have one weight here, stepping forward and then backwards, and repeat. For a beginner, you can do stopping here (at start) and then back. So you are going to do 20 on each side going back and forth, switch sides and repeat. So back and forth… make sure you are pushing through the front heel when you go back and then go down bring the knee about an inch above the ground. That’s the first exercise.
The next one is going to be a Push up with a spin. You’re going to get into a push up position, push up and then spin around, and then back the other way. Push up – spin. So it’s coordination. Go slow and controlled if you need to. So you can go slow, once you are get it down you can go faster. And if you really feel frisky, you can do a full spin and then push up.
All right. The third exercise is going to be a Spin Jump. This is a little bit complicated and more advanced, so I am going to show another one that you can do if you can’t do this. Starting sideways get down into squat, then you are going to turn and jump. So that is the simple one. You can do more advanced: turn, jump, touch the ground, turn, jump, touch the ground. For those who can’t do that (the jumping with a spin), you are just going to do a lateral lunge. So you are doing 20 of this on each side; 20 of the jumps total.
And then the last one are going to be one of my favorite exercises that incorporate the full body is the Bear Crawl. Bear crawl is on all fours, getting low to the ground and crawling. You can use your speed, you can do it down a hallway, you can do it outside – you can do this whole work outside. You’re going to do the bear crawl for 30 seconds.
So again let’s recap. We have:
– Forward-backwards lunges (20 reps on each side)
– Spinning push ups (15 to 20 reps)
– The Jump squats with a spin (20 reps), and
– The bear crawl for (30 seconds)
So there you go Holiday Workout #2, make sure you do this and take action right now. Don’t watch it and say you are going to do it later, cause the day will get started and you missed out. So go ahead and start that, it takes about 16 to 20 minutes and enjoy the Holidays.”
EarthFIT Holiday Workout 3
“Hey! It’s Ian Hart here with Holiday Workout #3. Again it’s 4 exercises, but today we are going to be focusing on more stability than anything else. So I am going to show you 4 exercises, they’re going to be on one leg if you have any issue with dealing stability exercises then just do both legs – you can do the same exercises with both legs.
All right! So the first one incorporates if you have a dumbbell, you can also use a gallon of water or a gallon of milk, because the weight doesn’t really need to be that heavy because it is a stability exercise. You are going to have stand on one leg, lean over, back nice and straight, make sure your back is straight and then you are going to do One Arm Row, stabilizing on the leg, you can do 12 reps, 12 to 20 depending on how light the weight is. If it’s easy, do higher reps and then switch, and then repeat. Balance, stabilize, try to stay on there without falling over. If you need to you can use your foot in the back to tap down just to stabilize again.
The next exercise is going to be Push Up and this time you you are going to be shifting your body weight to one arm, you’re assisting with the other arm. So you are going to shift your weight over to this arm and then push up and then shift to the other side then back. If you’re not strong enough to do a full push up, you can just do a regular push up, or you can go to your knees and do the same thing, so pushing up and back. So 10 on each side, for a total of 20 reps.
Next exercise is going to be on one foot – One Foot Toe Touch. Keep you back nice and straight, alternating your arms, if you are not able to get to your toe, get down to this point – you can get a reference point like a cone (the top of the cone) and then you are going to touch the top of the cone. You want to do 12 reps on each leg, switching until it touches back nice and straight again, as I’ve mentioned.
And then last one everybody’s favorite, High Knees. So high knees, are meant to get your knees up; 30s you can go fast, speed, move your arm for both cardio, and then 30 seconds and repeat.
So again we have:
– One leg bent over rows (12 to 20 reps)
– Push ups shifting to one side (20 reps)
– Toe touches (12 reps, 12 to 15 on each leg depending), try to get the whole repetition without falling over if you need to, you can use that back foot
– High Knees (30 seconds)
Again, this is going to take roughly about 4 minutes per circuit, do 3 to 5 sets depending on how you feel and then let me know how you do. Go ahead and leave a comment below, and tell me what your time was, how many reps you banged out and how much weight you used. Again this is Holiday Workout #3 from EarthFIT. I hope you enjoyed it and take advantage of it. Do it now.”

Beaufort Weight Management: Staying Fit During the Holidays
Most people lose sight of their fitness and fat loss goals entirely this month, only to have a rude awakening when their clothes are snug come January.
It’s really no wonder most people gain weight during the holidays.
Want to sidestep those holiday pounds? We’re here to be your voice of reason and to make sure that you don’t forget your goal. Stay fit this holiday season with these 3 steps:
Step #1: Get Re-Focused
The focus in so many of our holiday traditions is on food. This holiday season try to re-focus your attention away from food and back on to what’s really important—friends, family, giving, and religious traditions. Stay focused on the reason for the season rather than the plate full of hors d’oeuvres in front of you.
It’s important that you don’t lose sight of your dieting goals. Remind yourself of all the progress that you’ve made. Keep your goals in the forefront of your mind. Be aware that the holidays can be a time of emotional eating. Sometimes stress, family conflict, or even depression can be triggered. If this happens to you, try to address the root of your problems with solutions other than food or drink.
Step #2: Use Strategy
It’s important to use strategy when approaching the many celebrations held this time of year. With night after night of parties and events, you’ll need to pace yourself in order to keep your diet on track.
The most obvious, and effective strategy is to not arrive at the party hungry. Instead, eat a small low-calorie snack ahead of time to prevent overeating. When it’s time for extreme measures, wear tight-fitting clothes around your waist so there’s not much room for expansion!
Another idea is to chew gum before and after a meal, so you won’t be tempted to overindulge in appetizers and desserts. During the party, don’t stand right next to the food table, instead keep a safe distance. And before you get a plate of food, choose your selections wisely. Use a small plate instead of a large dinner plate and don’t go back for seconds!
Another important strategy is figuring out how to get in the gym between parties. Finding room in your busy holiday schedule for Beaufort exercise will help you fight off the extra weight trying to attach itself to your midsection and rear.
Step #3: Moderation
We’re not suggesting that you deprive yourself of all the foods you love, as this will likely lead to a spurge that ruins all your good intentions. Be smart about what you choose to eat. Enjoy the goodness of the season, but in moderation. Trim calories where you can by limiting your trimmings-cheeses, gravy, sauces, creams, and nuts.
Some of your favorite indulgences may only come around this time of year. This may cause you to want to overindulge before it’s too late. Instead of stuffing yourself, survey what foods are available and make your choices. Indulge in your favorites and leave the everyday dishes for another time. Only eat what you love, and don’t just eat something because it’s on the buffet.
Also, be sure to limit the amount of alcoholic beverages you drink. While you may not know it, they’re filled with calories, too. Try alternating an alcoholic drink with a non-alcoholic drink.
Follow these simple tips, and you will avoid holiday weight gain this season and start 2014 off right!
