Win in 2014 (Winstreak)
Happy New Year EF Fam!
Being coached is one of the best ways to ensure continued self awarenss and growth, which is vital to reaching new heights in life.
So congrats on allowing yourself be coached, just that in itself is an accomplishment.
The truth is, we are all playing a game… the game of life. We are either winning (being happy and in control of our current situation) or we feel like we are losing (unhappy and not in control of our current situation).
Feeling like a loser sucks, believe me, I know. I have spent too many years feeling like a loser; but the truth is I wasn’t a loser.
It was my thinking that was backwards – and that made me feel like a loser. The reality was that I was a winner but I was living in “The Gap”.
It is like that famous qoute “When you change how you look at things, the things that you look at change.”
There is a simple formula that can make you feel like you are winning instantly!
But before I get in to that, let me explain what “The Gap” is. It’s something that I learned from world renowned coach, Dan Sullivan. One of the coaching programs that I am currently in was created by Dan Sullivan. Over the past 5 years I have consistently had a coach and have had the opportunity to work with some of the best coaches in the world to help me help EF trainers and clients progress to new levels. My hope is that this concept and the recommendation at the end of the email assists you towards your goals in 2014.
OK… So, “The Gap”…
“The Gap” is the place between where you are currently and your ideal self. Your ideal self being an image that is held in your mind and is never obtainable becasue when a goal is reached, the ideal self shifts again to something different, therefore the “ideal” is never truly reached. You are always left with the feeling of losing which never helps self-esteem. Essentially you want to stay out of this place because happiness and fullfillment can never be achieved when you live in “The Gap”.
On the filp side, when you compare yourself: where you started vs. where you are today, you can ONLY see the success and the progress you have made. This always leads to happiness and fullfillment because there is a sense of accomplishment and forward progress. It is also focusing on the positive, creating postive feelings of success and accomplishment giving motivation of wanting to do more and more.
If you do even 1 thing a day that helps you towards your goal, you are successful.
Nobody is perfect so small success leads to major success over time. As coaches we know this as it relates directly to fitness.
Every workout translates to calories lost/strength gained/cardio increase or what ever your goal may be and every meal can be postives to your physiological function and goals, or destructive and sabatoging.
Every decision counts. Every decision you make is either taking you further from or closer to your goals. But we want to focus on the positive.
I will share pieces of how you can do that becasue my goal in 2014 is to help you win.
Winning is accomplishing the desired result. And it all begins with how you look at things.
Let’s walk through 2014 with winning confidence instead of feeling like a loser.
And if you already feel like your winning, then lets win bigger!
The app WinStreak created by Dan Sullivan has help me stay in a positive focus.
I highly recommend it to assist you on reaching your goals for 2014.

It is free and very simple to use. Check it out and see if this simple app helps you focus to create simple successes leading to goals and dreams.
Committed to helping you win in 2014,

The Miracle Mineral
Hey EF Fam,
Part of our profession as coaches and health professionals consists of constant research and study, searching for any advantage, any method that will increase results safely, effectively and efficiently to help you maximize health and performance. It is a never ending process and evolution, which is why we are constantly tweaking and testing methods at EarthFIT.
Through all my research, there is one vital piece that I believe many people are missing these day.
In fact, more than 80% of Americans are deficient in this mineral.
The truth is, you are most likely deficient right now!
This mineral is responsible for over 300 biochemical reactions in the body and if you don’t have enough, it could be slowly wreaking havoc on your entire system and drastically restricting your results inside and outside the gym.
So my goal in this article is to convey the importance of this mineral.
It could be argued that is the most important mineral in the entire body.
That mineral being MAGNESIUM!
- It activates the muscles and the nerves
- It attaches to ATP to create energy in the body (with out magnesium you don’t have energy in the body)
- It helps to digest proteins, carbs and fats
- It is a building block for DNA
- It is a precursor for neurotransmitters (The chemicals like seratonin which make us feel good 🙂
And you are not getting enough of it. Many people tend to get the laxative effect of magnesium before they get the therapeutic affect because your body can only absorb a certain amount at one time depending on the type of magnesium supplement you might take. Many people think that they are getting enough magnesium in food but the truth is that many foods are devoid of the nutrients because the soil is as well these days. With that being said, the foods with the highest concentration of magnesium that can assist in more absorption are.
as per (http://www.whfoods.com/
Signs and Symptoms of magnesium deficiency as list by http://drsircus.com.
Suggestive early warning signs of magnesium insufficiency:
- Physical and mental fatigue
- Persistent under-eye twitch
- Tension in the upper back, shoulders and neck
- Headaches
- Pre-menstrual fluid retention and/or breast tenderness
Possible manifestations of magnesium deficiency include:
- Low energy
- Fatigue
- Weakness
- Confusion
- Nervousness
- Anxiousness
- Irritability
- Seizures (and tantrums)
- Poor digestion
- PMS and hormonal imbalances
- Inability to sleep
- Muscle tension, spasm and cramps
- Calcification of organs
- Weakening of the bones
- Abnormal heart rhythm
In a recent article by Dr. Sidney Baker. “Magnesium deficiency can affect virtually every organ system of the body. With regard to skeletal muscle, one may experience twitches, cramps, muscle tension, muscle soreness, including back aches, neck pain, tension headaches and jaw joint (or TMJ) dysfunction. Also, one may experience chest tightness or a peculiar sensation that he can’t take a deep breath. Sometimes a person may sigh a lot.”
The highest amount of magnesium is in the heart and if your ratio of calcium to magnesium is off, this can cause major issue. Too much calcium build up causes the muscles to contract and can lead to intense muscles spasms and cramps. This can lead to a heart attack. People who die from a sudden heart attack after an athletic event could be magnesium deficient.
Anyway, I think you get the point on how important magnesium.
THE BIG ISSUE:
Since everyone is deficient and our food these days are devoid of this valuable mineral and supplements can’t always do the trick, then what do we do?
In another upcoming email I will provide you with ways you can combat losing more of the miracle mineral and point you in the right direction as to the fastest and easiest way to absorb the mineral. I don’t want to overwhelm you with too much info all at one time and when it comes to magnesium, the research is astounding.
Committed to your success,
Ian

Beaufort Health and Fitness: How to Get Rid of Cellulite
What is Cellulite? Why does it plague 90% of all women? And how can we cure cellulite in Beaufort? That’s basically the question!
Cellulite is fat. No one really knows the exact cause of cellulite and it’s not just any old fat. Mischa Barton, Miley Cyrus, Beyoncé, Tyra Banks, Paris Hilton, J -Lo, … just to name some of celebrities that even them are afflicted with it. Cellulite is the result of deposits of fat that take residence just under the surface of the skin.
It forms in the subcutaneous fat layer, which is different from the reserve layers of fat as the fat lobes are squeezed together by the strands of tissue that surround them. It is formed when the connective tissue gives way and allows the fat to touch each other and protrude through the skin. This becomes even more apparent with age as our skin tends to thin as we get older. Cellulite is most commonly found in the thighs, buttocks and abdomen of Beaufortonian women, though it can be seen in other parts of the body less frequently. Genetics, dietary habits (junk food, alcohol, spicy foods), smoking, high stress and tight clothing have all been attributed with causing cellulite. Cottage cheese skin, or orange peel syndrome are the common terms which depict this annoyance fat that most Beaufort women are too recognizable with. Here are a few scientific names for it:
– adiposis edematosa
– dermo-panniculosis deformans
– status protrusus cutis, and
– gynoid lipodystrophy
Here is a picture of what your body looks like if you were to cut it in half.
In Beaufort are, there are so many so-called cures for cellulite – laser therapy, creams, massages, special gloves, body wraps and liposuction. A number of these “treatments” are pricey without doing any bit of good. On the Oprah Winfrey Show, Dr. Oz, warns women not to get into the hype and he isn’t even a believer. As a result, what really works? Dr. Wayne Westcott, PhD, director of research programs at the South Shore YMCA in Quincy, Mass., and author of No More Cellulite says that cellulite is “… an issue of having too much fat and too little muscle.”
The best and sure thing to do is to find the perfect Beaufort health and fitness, exercise program to cure cellulite. The Beaufort health and fitness program that incorporates cardio as well as resistance training and a proper diet. At EarthFIT, Beaufort health and fitness training programs are geared toward your goals and you’re treated like the individual you are. You can get rid and cure cellulite in Beaufort by getting the best resistance, cardio and diet program and the most qualified Beaufort personal trainers (Lady’s Island, Burton, Bluffton, Hilton Head) without breaking the bank.
Again, there are so many other benefit aside from combating cellulite through exercise. It can help prevent chronic diseases like heart disease, osteoporosis, diabetes, high cholesterol and blood pressure. It aids with weight management, boosts your energy, mood and promotes better sleep patterns. And EarthFIT’s Beaufort clients have all experienced at least one of the above benefits. Remember, 90% of women (and some men) have cellulite, whether we’re skinny or obese. In other words, cellulite doesn’t discriminate by size and it doesn’t care if you live in Beaufort, Lady’s Island, Hilton Head or Bluffton. We obsess about it so much that anti-cellulite treatment has ballooned to a multibillion dollar industry. But if you choose to fight it with the proper Beaufort health and fitness, exercise program, you shouldn’t wait. It’s best to start early. Cellulite starts forming right after puberty, so if you want to get a jumpstart on beach season, or your modeling career, call 800-718-7FIT EarthFIT and cure cellulite in Beaufort NOW.

Beaufort Personal Trainers and Weight loss At EarthFIT Personal Training Facility
Losing weight…that is a mouthful isn’t it? One of the biggest struggles many face on a daily basis is weight loss and getting in shape. What does it mean to you to be healthy? How would being healthy change your life? What are the reasons you are not able to get healthy on your own? These are the key questions to ask yourself before beginning your journey of weight loss.
Discipline seems to be a big problem for those trying to lose weight. A healthy diet is crucial to weight loss. There are two pieces to the puzzle: exercise and a healthy balanced diet. The Beaufort Personal Trainers at EarthFIT have specific programs to attend to each individuals needs to accomplish weight loss. The more committed someone is to losing weight and getting healthy the faster the results will come. It is all about changing one’s mindset to a healthier mindset and fully committing to doing so. The Beaufort Personal Trainers make it their goal to help each of their clients reach that healthy mindset which allows them to make healthy choices on their own in the future. Eating healthy becomes a habit after training at EarthFIT. Many have seen phenomenal results after just a short period of time while training with the Beaufort Personal Trainers. After asking a few clients about their experience with the weight loss programs created by the trainers themselves, the feedback was incredibly positive. We asked EarthFIT client Andrea about her experience and she responded, “The life before EarthFIT…I was dragging a bit, tired, not able to keep up with the kids and not happy at all with the weight that I was at and really ready to get healthy. The results I’ve achieved since working out at EarthFIT is I’ve lost 10lbs. as far as overall and 13 percentage points as far as my fat percentage and I’ve gone down two dress sizes, which is also a plus. My life is a result from training at EarthFIT has changed drastically since I have a lot more energy, I feel so much better about myself as far as physically and mentally, I’m able to of course keep up with the kids, I’m getting a better night’s rest and being able to sleep through the night; eating better, being able to keep track of what I’m eating and just overall feeling so much healthier.” We also spoke with local family physician Dr. Craig Floyd about his patients and the dramatic results he has noticed within these patients. Floyd stated, “I have seen significant positive results from the patients that I share with EarthFIT for their exercise and dietary regimens. This has ranged from my young athletes requiring sport specific activities to more senior population that merely desire some mild conditioning and strengthening and mild weight loss. Exercise plays a dramatic role, regardless of the condition that a patient has seen before. Exercise usually makes the handling of that condition much easier. The folks at EarthFIT have a very safe and scientifically based program. After their initial evaluation they come up with the custom routine that is tailored towards the individuals needs. The staff at EarthFIT is taking care of several of my patients all with dramatic results.”
From middle schoolers, to high schoolers, college students, parents and seniors, no matter what age one is, the biggest fad will always remain the same and that is to be healthy because to be healthy is beneficial at every age. The Beaufort Personal Trainers have clients of all ages and it is very important to the trainers to help their clients reach each of their goals. As many have seen, results are always guaranteed when working with experts like the trainers at EarthFIT. Take it from one of EarthFIT’s clients who recently stated in his testimonial, “The proof is in the pudding.”
