Seven Steps to help you create your FITNESS goals

1). Decide what it is YOU really want. Not what you should do, or what you think others expect of you, or what you should stop doing. These goals need to be things you would really like to experience, that will really shift your body to a new level, and so are easy to commit to. If you do things you feel you have to do, it is often hard to stick to that decision.

How do you want your body to be this year, and what actions are you going to put in place to achieve it? Are you planing to go to the gym? Eat healthy?

Behaviours – are there any you would like to improve or change? How YOU CAN IMPROVE YOUR NUTRITION? Your behaviours are the key.

2). Read Your Fitness Goals every day. For example: I want to lose 20 lbs.
This is because your mind is a goal-seeking device and when you give it clear directions it will get on with the task of bringing them into your life.

3). Make each goal a very strong and clear uplifting instruction. Be as detailed as you can. Exactly define your fitness goals. (Ex. I want to be able to run a marathon and be in a great shape)

The goals must be positive, not negative. ‘I am not fat any more’ should be: ‘I am lean, muscular, fit and healthy’.

If you have tried to achieve these goals before, and you have not been able to achieve them, write out the reasons why this happened, and keep this in mind when you create your plan to achieve them this year.

4). Create a notebook, or even a large scrapbook to keep your goals in. Only have one goal per page, or per section of the book. You can write them out in words, as well as have images that illustrate them for you. Use pictures cut from fitness magazines. Look at this often, and also regularly visualize you body that you would like to have.

If, at any time, you are faced with a choice of an action or a behavior, ask yourself: ‘Does this enhance by ability to achieve my goal or not?’ If the answer is ‘Yes’ then do it, and if ‘No’ then don’t.

5). Choose goals that you can achieve, even if they seem a stretch. Do not sabotage your opportunities by setting goals that are far too large for you to achieve in the short term. Start small and, as you achieve each step, you can increase the size of your goal. Move in an incremental way to your overall aim.

Let's say you want to lose 40 lbs and you are very busy schedule here in New York. First set your goal to lose 5 lbs. Than when you lose 5 lbs define your next goal to lose another 5 lbs. Do not set a huge goals that you can not achieve.

Once you have completed the smaller steps, than you can ramp them up, as you will have built your confidence from the experience of achieving the smaller goals.

Also, be available to shift gears and even change goals, as circumstances change. Be pragmatic and flexible. This will allow you to achieve even better results than you previously imagined possible.

6). Keep your goals private except from those that they involve (ex. your trainer), such as when you are doing things together. If you announce them to the world, you will be setting yourself up to be checked on by those who do not keep goals. Some of these people long to see you fail, so that the pressure is off them to improve their lives.So keep them to yourself and let your success in the world be your example to others.

7). In your goal book, list your progress. Just write down what you have achieved towards your fitness goal, like a diary. This acts as a reminder of what you are doing with your life this year. If you have a personal trainer, check your progress with him every 4 weeks and write it down.

Occasionally give yourself a small reward to acknowledge how far you have come. For an example go out and have fun with friends. Eat all you want for one meal.


Remind yourself constantly – ‘I am creating my body with every thought, image, action and behavior. No one else, just me’. Do not blame genetics, your boss or circumstances around you. You are the one who is responsible for your fitness success.


If you follow this process everyday, you will be on your way to achieving unlimited success in every aspect of your fitness life.

Thanks once again for reading this, and may 2009 be the year that you reach higher and higher fitness levels.

Emii won a Hollywood Music Award, for Best Female Vocals



Hey Guys! My client Emii won won a Hollywood Music Award, for Best Female Vocals! Here's a picture from the Red Carpet. Great news... She got the deal she has been working for pretty much her whole life. She will begin to work on a huge music project. She will be next "Emily Morrison".
We got her into a great shape. In last year she has been traveling non stop with her band on tour so we were not able to workout regularly. But we kept in touch over email.
She worked out on her own and followed my nutrition plan while she was on the road.
Best of luck for Emmi and her exciting music career.

You have the power to change

The day you take complete responsibility for yourself, the day you stop making any excuses, that's the day you start moving down the road to fitness success.

No one else can do it for you.
Only you can make it happen.
You're the only one that has to live your life.

Success on any major scale requires you to accept responsibility.
It's up to you to choose the thoughts and actions that will lead you to success.

Your body will be what you make of it.
Nothing will ever happen by itself.
Success will come your way once you realize that you have to make it come your way by your own actions.

The power to succeed is yours alone.
