The Body You Were Meant To Have

I’m amazed when I watch pro athletes at the top of their games. They have incredible speed and power. And if you’re a reader you know I’m a tennis fan. I play tennis every morning. So I can’t wait to catch some of the Australian Open tennis tournament coming up in a couple of weeks.

It’s pretty impressive to watch how strong and fast these men and women are. They hit the ball so hard, and can twist their bodies and do incredible things with a tennis racquet in their hands.

Their bodies seem to be built for it, don’t they?

But I’m going to show you that you can have that same kind of lean, muscular body.

Is Exercise the Fountain of Youth?

Exercise is quite possibly one of the most disliked aspects of anti-aging and beauty. I know scores of people who view exercise as the enemy. But it doesn’t have to be! I personally love to work out. In fact, I consider exercise to be my “fountain of youth.”

In addition to keeping the body lean and lowering stress levels, exercise benefits the heart and lungs, increases strength and muscle tone, and helps you get rid of toxins.

My Best Anti-Aging Skin Secret

Here’s a little-known beauty secret that can help rejuvenate your skin. And it won’t cost you a penny.

This secret can do more than any cosmetic cover-up – no matter how expensive. It’s all-natural, 100% safe, and no one has to know you use it. But they will notice.

What’s the secret? It’s P.A.C.E., the first and only anti-aging fitness program. Just a few minutes a day promotes healthier-looking, more beautiful skin. The best part is… you get to have fun doing it.

When I developed P.A.C.E., I wanted to help people drop weight and re-energize their hearts and lungs safely. Thousands of my patients and readers have slimmed down and gotten fit with P.A.C.E..

Recently, the women taking part in our P.A.C.E. study group kept mentioning they noticed something besides fat melting and increased strength. They kept telling me their skin looked healthier and more youthful than it had in years.

One of the reasons is that excess weight takes a heavy toll on your skin. It weakens your skin barrier, affects wound healing, changes your skin’s structure, and promotes several skin diseases.1

Carrying excess pounds also increases your risk of diabetes – which can lead to skin infections, scaly patches and many other skin problems.2

My patients weren’t just dropping weight and building heart and lung strength… with P.A.C.E., their skin was becoming healthier and more attractive.

Even if you’re not overweight, P.A.C.E. can help your skin’s appearance.

Summer isn’t far off … and that means it’s time to get into shape for all your favorite outdoor activities.

If you’d like your body to look great at the beach, try these two exercises. You’ll get a total-body workout … and you can adapt them to whatever shape you’re in.

Please don’t forget to warm up for a few minutes before doing these. I recommend you do the following twice: 30 seconds of marching in place followed by 30 seconds of jumping jacks, 30 butt kickers and 30 seconds of pushup walkouts.

Is This Affecting Your Weight?

I’ve been coaching for more than 10 years now, and I’ve seen some major success stories.

But some of my students’ bodies just won’t change – no matter how many burpees or sprints they do.

One of my students, K.B., was seriously frustrated by her lack of progress.

She was doing everything exactly like I told her to. She was eating right, taking her supplements, drinking tons of water, and doing the fat-melting exercises I gave her. Her weight still didn’t budge.

I couldn’t understand it.

I kept wondering what the heck was going on. Was she not telling me something?

And then I thought … it could be her thyroid!

You see, your body uses thyroid hormones to control fat-melting for energy and creating heat. These hormones regulate your body’s metabolism and control your weight.

So, I sent K.B. to see her doctor to get her thyroid tested.

New Year’s Day is right around the corner and you know what that means … time to make your resolutions to get a fit body, mind and spirit! And I’m here to help you keep them this year.

New Year’s resolutions fail for various reasons. Sometimes they’re too broad, sometimes they’re unrealistic, or sometimes you just don’t know what to do to achieve your goal.

So here are four ways to help keep your New Year’s resolution on improving your fitness this year:

1. Put yourself first. You make time for other people every day, but you might not give yourself the attention you need (and deserve!). Give yourself a portion of your day all to yourself … even if it’s only 20 minutes. Devote that time to improving your mind, body and spirit by doing one of my great fat-burning workouts or taking some time to meditate.

Whether, you’re a guy or gal, having a great rear end is definitely in style. Big or small, luscious or lean there is nothing wrong with improving on nature.

The first thing to do is to get yourself in the proper mindset … whatever you can use for positive reinforcement. Maybe hang up a picture of someone who has the kind of rear you would like to have one day. Or buy those skinny jeans you just can’t wait to get into. Imagine all the new attention you are about to receive from the opposite sex. Whatever you can find to use for motivation is entirely up to you. You can be successful in having a spectacular rear end. Thousands of people already have.

The Sweet Way Heal Your Wounds

For years now, sugar’s been a dirty word. It’s been blamed for everything from obesity, heart disease and diabetes to tooth decay and acne. But there’s something they don’t know. Sugar’s better for you than all those artificial sweeteners and substitutes out there today … especially the ones you’ll find in so-called “diet” products.

In one study of nearly 2,600 people, those who drank diet sodas had a 47 percent higher body mass index (BMI) than those who didn’t, and their risk of obesity was doubled.1

I’m always suspicious of things that aren’t natural.

But there’s another reason you should keep sugar on your shelf.

If you’ve been frustrated by a lack of progress in your weight reduction or workouts, it could be because of one of the most neglected and undertreated parts of your body: your thyroid gland.

One of my students, K.B., was doing everything right. She was eating well, taking her supplements, drinking tons of water and doing her fat-melting exercises.
