Finding Your Inner Strength

Todays  post comes from a featured follower who wishes to share some inspirational as to how a life coach can help fight the battle of cancer. You all know how I love inspiration so I would love to share this sent to me from Ms. Emily W. who wishes to inform the world for a moment. 

"Facing a cancer diagnosis is a monumental task, and most people can benefit from the help and support a life coach can provide. According to the Mayo Clinic, many cancer survivors say they relied on their own inner strength to help fight the battle and move beyond their diagnosis. When a patient first learns their mesothelioma prognosis or breast cancer diagnosis, they are often wracked with questions and doubts. Some wonder if they have the inner strength to fight this battle. Many patients are physically and emotionally exhausted when they finally find the cause behind their symptoms. A life coach can't fight the battle for you, but they can help any cancer victim find their own inner strength.

Many people may become weighted down by their past. Someone who lacks self-esteem may feel that they lack the courage and mental fortitude to fight cancer. A life coach can help you discover your own worth in a way that a support group or family member cannot. Your coach can help you move beyond your past and become someone strong enough to cope with a serious disease like mesothelioma. You don't need to resolve past issues in order to move forward, all you need to do is teach yourself new patterns and ways of thinking. A positive attitude may not change your prognosis, but it will make all the difference in how you feel day to day.

A cancer diagnosis can change your life and drastically alter the way you live. The changes can be difficult to cope with, and a life coach can help you set personal goals and focus on finding ways to keep doing what you love. Sometimes it can be hard not to sink into depression and hopelessness, and many cancer victims even feel guilty for not remaining positive all the time. Some health professionals will even tell patients that their attitude can directly affect the outcome of their disease, leaving patients feeling responsible when treatments don't work or conditions deteriorate. A life coach can help you deal with negative feelings in a positive way, without guilt or judgment. With the help of a coach you can learn to deal with the people in your life, and find ways to keep other people from bringing you down."

The Godfather of fitness, Jack Lalanne lifetime Tribute

     Today the fitness industry is filled with a mass amount of fitness guru's, nutrition specialists, training experts, also commercial products stated to get you six pack abs, toned gluteus and thighs, diet pills, miracle pills, miracle drinks, etc. However there was a day when one man informed the whole nation. One man with a passion that he diligently pursued. His name was Jack Lalanne, and he lived, ate, and breathed what he preached, and that was fitness. Yet I would like to say that he was so far ahead of his time in his philosophies and entrepreneurial ways that what he was preaching was modern day wellness. He spoke of mental health, physical health, nutritional health, attitude, and all the fantastic elements that make up the wellness sphere of improving ones quality of life that he had to be ahead of the curve every step of the way. So I believe we all owe a great thanks to Mr. Lalanne who provided us with the Jumping "Jacks", opened the first health spa and Coed health club, and developed the cable/pulley machines  we use everyday. Jack was one of my heroes due to his true passion to teach and inspire others to be better than they were yesterday, to really live and fuel that life with exercise and good nutrition that is why he is one of my heroes, the Godfather of fitness Jack Lalanne.

  

     Jack was a great asset not just to the fitness and nutrition community but to society as well, he was an innovator, a leader, and great family man...my hats off to you sir! Jack Lalanne recently passed away at the ripe age of 96, where he was still in seemingly great shape for his age. I'm extremely sad about this because since I first heard about Jack when I was a young buck in the industry I made it a life goal to meet him, now I never will. Now we can relive his genius and be inspired through the recovered videos from his television show to keep us fit, firm, and live long! Rest in eternal health Jack. Heres to you!

Fat Loss & Six Pack Abs Programs... 30lbs in 30 days...Really!? Where is the truth!?

     Alright fellow fitness freaks so I get a lot of questions about cutting up, losing weight, six pack abs, fat loss, etc. and during my research I keep finding a lot of nonsense and bull about getting fit and people selling gimmicks, diets, and childish toys that are said to get these fitness models into shape...hmmm very convincing right!?
     Well I'm glad you don't fall for that because if you know me and follow my site you know I am all about being blunt and up front about whats going on out there in the commercial fitness industry. So what I did was find a couple of fitness professionals that really know what they are talking about, not just freakishly jazzed up and trying to sell you something but I actually researched their credentials and theories and these programs are legit.
     So what I'm trying to do here is help you, my fellows, easily find the honest programs out there. When my own program (coming very soon) is up and ready I will be promoting the hell out of it, because it will obviously be the best. However until then, you be the judge and check these guys out:

For Women: A mile a day...

A recent study of 238 post-menopausal women was done by E. Krall, USDA Agricultural Research Service and found that walking as little as a mile a day can delay osteoporosis up to seven years!

Q:Where does this statement come from?
A:Most women lose 3% to 6% of their bone mass annually during the five years surrounding menopause. A study found that walking will delay osteoporosis significantly. Women who walked regularly took four to seven years longer to lose as much bone as women who did not walk at all.
