Your lost connection to your body

2010-02-06T22:36:00.003-05:00

Nobody know you better than you know yourself. The problem is that people do not want to face yourself, so they face someone else.
Your soul is suffering when you replace yourself with someone else.

Before you start to define others you will need to define yourself first. And that can be the most complicated challenge.
You always expressing yourself one way or another. Your expression is your possession.
If you don't challenge yourself you will challenge someone else. Someone has to suffer.

You and someone else can not exist in your inner body. Someone has to win. When someone else win, you start to lose the body you once had.

The minute you lost your body, you lost inner self. Inner self can not exist within a lost body.
It is time to find your inner self.

Laugh at life

2010-01-23T16:10:00.003-05:00

The problem is created when you take things seriously. Things are not more important than your well being. When you look at things with lightness, you will see no problems. The light will overshadow the darkness. Instead to look things in the darkness, be a light to the darkness.

Many times people take life seriously. They try to control things, to force things and do things their own way. They end up in disaster because they are so stuborn.
Look at the nature around us. It evolves. It moves. Earth is moving too... Some things in life you can not control. Why would you stress out about something that you can not control.
Laugh at it. Because if you do not laugh, the life will laugh at you.
Never ever take life seriously, because life is not serious. Life is playful. Play with life because on the end life will kill you anyway.

What burns more fat? High intensity or low intensity exercise?

2010-01-07T21:42:00.005-05:00

High intensity exercise will bring your metabolism to the max levels.
Your metabolism will be elevated, you will be burning more calories. Your metabolism will stay elevated for hours after you stop exercising.
High-intensity training will add more muscle to your body, because of the intensity of training. Also high-intensity exercise promotes a greater release of human growth hormone, which helps the body lose fat and gain lean muscle.
Your muscles will burns more calories at rest, so with more muscle on your body you become a more effective calorie-burning machine, 24 hours a day.
High intensity exercise will suppress your appetite while moderate level training may stimulate it.
High intensity training has been reported to trigger hormones that reduce appetite.
The best way to burn fat is to train with high intensity exercises. Why would you waste your time on pilates, yoga and other uneffective training methods?

Now you know all the facts. What are you waiting for? Go to the gym and train hard. Make sure you have a workout partner or trainer to push you. You will enjoy the results of it.

Diet mafia wants to trick you with their ineffective low calorie diets and weight loss products

2010-01-05T16:24:00.007-05:00

Diet mafia know that you are desperate to lose weight. They want your money. They want to trick you this year into buying their miracle weight loss products. Their passion is money not your weight loss. Do you think they care about you? They exploited many celebrities with weight loss products and now they want get you.
Last night I was watching a famous TV show and they were talking about diets. They wanted to "help you" to lose weight but their hidden motivation is to sell you diet products. In other words TV host was pushing weight loss products of this company.

The guy who was selling his products was a doctor and he said calorie is calorie. It really does not matter if you eat pizza or some other healthy meal. It is the same. Just reduce calories and you will lose weight.

Same people who promoted last year diets and weight loss pills are promoting this year same old repackaged products and diets. But with a new twist.

Here are few tips for you:
- Don't let TV show hosts tell you what to eat. They are paid to tell you lies and promote products.
- Every segment on TV show is financed by some diet product. They will tell you a story that benefits them but not you.
- TV show hosts have no clue about diets. They are paid to promote products and trick you into buying products. That's their job.
- Don't be surprised if you see some doctors on TV telling you stories about diets. Even doctors and celebrities are involved into diet scams. They are diet mafia. They only want your money.
- Same marketing people who told you few years ago to buy stocks and houses are now marketing diet products. They switched the field. Be careful.

The truth is:
Low calories diets are not working. On TV they are telling you lies. Calorie counting is the biggest mistake you can make while dieting.
Your metabolism will be killed and when you start eating again you will gain back all water and muscle weight you lost plus you will gain 20 additional pounds.

Only way to lose weight is to increase your metabolism. You will increase your metabolism when you add few pounds of lean muscle with exercise. Plus you will have to focus on quality of your foods not on quantity.
Here is the guide for your fat loss. All you need to know.

If their diets products would have been working last year, why those products would not be sold anymore on the market. They come with something new every year. New diet technology. New diet book. New weight loss pill. Our body is not computer to adapt to that new weight loss technology. Our body is still the same for thousands of years. It is only one way to lose weights. There are no shortcuts.

New Yorkers and Fitness

2010-01-02T14:57:00.005-05:00

New Yorkers are most amazing people on planet earth but they always neglect their health. We try to put many excuses in places and avoid to eat healthy, to exercise, to take care about ourselves, to rest and avoid stress.

Avoid excuses and all reasoning why you can't get into shape in 2010.

The greatest amount of wasted time is the time not getting started.
Some people are waiting for miracles to happen in order to take care about themselves. But they forget that God is a God of moving. God only moves, when you move.

Do not try to find a motivation in a New Year. Be like a champion. Be motivation!

Our personal trainers love you and wish you all the best in 2010.
Love yourself little more, love food little less and you are almost there!

You only squeeze something out of life when you get squeezed by life.

We are giving you 10 steps for a healthy 2010:
1. Choose organic foods
2. Consume foods rich in antioxidants
3. Take calcium supplement
4. Avoid all processed foods
5. Use olive oil for all your cooking
6. Eat fish
7. Exercise and keep your weight under control
8. Avoid stress
9. Love yourself. When you do, miracles happen.
10. See life as a fun. Take nothing seriously.

The truth about celebrity diets

2009-12-30T23:40:00.002-05:00

I walked today into pharmacy and saw so many magazines try to cash on New Year resolutions. They have titles like: "Celebrity diet secrets. Look like celebrity. We have their latest celebrities diets."

Every year same story over and over again.
Every time someone talks about celebrity diets is fooling you and wants to make money of you. They hope you buy magazine and find their "hidden secrets".
There are no celebrity diets. Just people who follow a good nutrition plan and than they look like a celebrity.

Every time someone talks to you about the stars is not your friend. They just want to trick you into buying something they have no clue about. The real friend tells you that you are a STAR. And not that you could be a star if you buy some products.

Do not miss on miracles in 2010

2009-12-30T00:09:00.000-05:00

"Life is all about small simple things in this existing moment. Miracles can only happen at this simple level of the existing moment. Most people make things so complicated and miss all miracles in the present moment." - Joe DiAngelo

2010 is your Year for fitness happiness

"We can only see stars when we look upwards towards something bigger than ourselves." -- Joe DiAngelo

Do not let nobody destroy your faith in love. Let nobody take your innate magnificence.
And remember Our Health is the main capital we have.

Ask your body for advice

2009-12-27T00:04:00.004-05:00

Your body knows it the best. Ask your body what it needs. Be in touch with your body. And than when you are in touch you could look for advice of a personal trainer and nutritionist for the professional advice. Do not be disconnected from your own being.

"The body has its own way of knowing, a knowing that has little to do with logic, and much to do with truth, little to do with control, and much to do with acceptance, little to do with division and analysis, and much to do with union."
-- Marilyn Sewell

"Your soul lives within your body. And it is a touching point
between reality and infinity." -- Joe DiAngelo

Are you aware of your body’s wisdom? Our bodies usually know us better than our minds do. If you have a decision to make, consult your body before making a final choice.

Reflect on an option before you and then pay attention to your body. Are you breathing deeply or barely at all? Are your muscles tense or relaxed? Is your energy blocked or flowing?

Your body knows what it likes and it feels good when it's happy. As your body is the source of your vitality, your motivation, your inspiration and enthusiasm and most importantly, your intuition, it's best to get that part of you on-side if you are venturing into a new activity.

"When you are saying that you are happy and you are not, there will be a disturbance in your breathing. Your breathing cannot be natural. It is impossible."
-- Osho

"Our inner guidance comes to us through our feelings and body wisdom first -- not through intellectual understanding. ...The intellect works best in service to our intuition, our inner guidance, soul, God or higher power -- whichever term we choose for the spiritual energy that animates life."
-- Christiane Northru

"You can not force your body to change. Body is not to be
forced. That's a slavery." -- Joe DiAngelo

Advice from NYC personal trainers: Fitness resolution or your revolution

2009-12-20T13:08:00.006-05:00

I asked our personal trainers and world musclemania champions to give us their insight on fitness resolution and starting New Year right. Here is what I got from them:

Forget New Year resolutions. Instead find something you love to do, something about yourself that will make you happy and stronger. Something that will make your life better and your heart sing. Love yourself.

Than you will work out, eat healthy, lose weight. When you love yourself you will take care about yourself more.
When you love yourself more, everything will be easy. Gym will be fun. Eating healthy will make you healthy and strong. Everything will take a new perspective.
Get into New Year with your new renewed perspective and attitude towards yourself.

"Every man is a perfect expression of God's love. There is nothing wrong with God's love. The problem is with our love." - Joe DiAngelo

Motivation: How strong is your desire for weight loss?

2009-12-18T21:32:00.001-05:00

You're always motivated to the degree that the
decisions you make are your decisions.
Be honest with yourself and know what you want.

You're always in a position to decide.
You can decide to do something or
you can decide to do nothing.
The choice will always be yours.

It's so hard when you have to,
and so easy when you want to.

Your health is the best investment

Your health is the best investment you could make. If you do not believe me ask rich people in hospitals who just had heart attack.
