Do These 3 Things to Lose Fat Fast!

Follow these three tips consistently, and you could shed fat faster than you thought possible! Consistency is the key though, but these are easy - so no excuses!

1.) Eat slower. That sounds simple enough, doesn't it? It is if you remember - try tying a reminder string around your fork so you think about it every bite. Research proves this works like a charm!

2.) Journal your food intake. Studies show this a one of the most powerful tools you can use. The X Gym website has a great food log too. Try it out today if you aren't already using it!

3.) Drink white tea. Since white tea is less processed than green or black, it retains higher concentrations of compounds that seem to help with fat-cell metabolism. Green tea is still great, but science seems to indicate that white tea may be the new power tea for fat loss. If you don't like white tea, try a supplement.


Mike and Jamie Rock the Haiti 5K!

It seems stair climbs and navy seal competitions aren't the only things X Gym has a talent for!

Two of our trainers at the Alki X Gym recently dominated the Run to Help Haiti. They each won their age groups, and Mike also took 3rd overall! Check the results here, and you will also notice that our stair star, Kevin Crossman, didn't do so shabby either!

Train Your Brain Today

Did you think about what you GET to do today instead of what you HAVE to do? When you go on a business trip, do you say, "I have to go" or do you say, "I get to go?" Watch this video for fun inspiration to switch your mindset today. It's worth the 4 minutes. I promise it will get you laughing and change your focus on how we all should be looking at life.

Next, try this exercise:

1.     In a lying down, relaxed position, close your eyes and breathe in slowly through your nose, until your lungs are completely full. While you are breathing in, slowly raise your eyes up toward your eyebrows.

2.     Hold for 2 seconds. While you are holding, keep your eyes looking up as high as they will go.

3.     Breathe out slowly until your lungs are completely empty. As you breathe out, let your eyes relax slowly to a neutral position.

4.     Repeat 5 times or more.

 

I will explain the reason for this exercise in the next newsletter...

Thanks,

PJ Glassey, CSCS

P.S. Remember, don't just read the suggestions in this newsletter, DO THEM! Each suggestion and exercise is specifically designed to help you get fit fast and enjoy permanent results, but that takes ACTION and the right brain training!

Is stress taking 10 years or more off your life?
Science indicates that stress is a killer and will shorten your life. Learning to manage stress through brain training techniques, and burning off stress through high intensity exercise can add a decade or more to your lifespan!

Eggs for breakfast help burn fat
Remember, protein in the morning kicks off your fat burning metabolism, so if you don't like eggs, no problem, but make sure protein is at the top of your start-your-day list!
