While you quote me "up at 4 AM to do first workout" you neglected to tell the world that I had a 6:45 am flight to catch...as with all who read your excerpts, it is not truly a reflection of the entire blog or sentiment. Because whether or not I lose 30 pounds I will have lost more than if I did nothing and getting more physically fit in the process.<br />I was hugely successful last year on another of Dax's programs, so he has my full confindence.Margot Fairclothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13317702220367097038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3809613590902074955.post-61973448127395450242009-06-26T21:35:57.485+00:002009-06-26T21:35:57.485+00:00Hi George,
I nearly passed on the invite but your...Hi George,<br /><br />I nearly passed on the invite but your blog is too tempting. I do have a PT, once a week and she is the only thing that has kept me the right side of 200LBS (I'm 5'7). Some weeks I do loads, karate with my son (1 1/2 hours), pilates (1 hour), tennis (1 hour) plus the hour of PT but some weeks I just get the hour of PT. Every week the scales sat resolvedly at 183 lbs or thereabouts. In my own way I am a typical fatty - busy middle aged woman with kids kind of typical. Why? because I would treat myself with food, if I felt down, if I felt tired, if I shouted at my kids (usually cos I felt down or tired), when I had a deadline... This programme has so far delivered big time for me. I am not grumpy or starved. I love the workouts and even changing and showering for such a short workout means you waste less time than I have in the past going to the gym for an hour (getting there, changing, exercising for an hour, showering, changing again, getting home) - definitely more time than this is taking me every day. The time was right for me and this is the change I needed to make in my life and I am making it. When your time is right you will too.<br /><br />All the best<br /><br />Natasha<br /><br />p.s. densities - how many reps you do in a certain time<br /><br />NNatashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15544752289710115044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3809613590902074955.post-49732428419953488742009-06-26T19:16:18.633+00:002009-06-26T19:16:18.633+00:00While Melissa is not starting from scratch with Da...While Melissa is not starting from scratch with Dax, she has definitely had a life long struggle. So sometimes snippets of a blog don't tell the whole story. She hasn't mentioned that she just finished doctor care to handle years of plantar fasciitis amongst other health problems. <br /><br />I commend your decision to lose weight. I think it's great to be healthy and totally congratulate you. <br /><br />One thing to keep in mind is that these folks are trying something that is new and not typical in their comfort zone. They need cheering on.<br /><br />Having lost 40 pounds myself - and having a desk job - I know how hard the journey can be to get there and stay there. People that are young, old, active, non-active have all sorts of struggles. <br /><br />Andrew<br /><br />Whatever Dax does with this experiment - it's having a profound impact on the attitude of folks. And that is something that you can't measure on the scale. <br /><br />I wish them all the success as I do you with your journey.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3809613590902074955.post-75321938345823565402009-06-26T06:02:28.607+00:002009-06-26T06:02:28.607+00:00Hey George
I think you've missed the point a ...Hey George<br /><br />I think you've missed the point a little buddy : )<br /><br />People who are already training have and dieting have LESS of a result when they move to a new program than those who are sedentary and follow a poor diet.<br /><br />That's why nearly all fat loss programs choose non-exercisers to to participate as you can show HUGE improvements in no time at all.<br /><br />I chose a mix.<br /><br />I chose people in their 50's who, despite a life of activity still couldn't shift their weight.<br /><br />I chose people who were ALREADY training with a trainer yet couldn't budge a pound despite expert advice.<br /><br />I chose people who WERE personal trainers themselves but couldn't get their methods to work on themselves.<br /><br />In every case I've chosen people who were stubborn weight losers. Just ask them on their blogs.<br /><br />Even now I have a few members who are not moving their weight do easily...<br /><br />Regarding the exercise, people are getting up at 5 or 6 am at their choice so that they can fit in their workouts before work. That's all : )<br /><br />In total, my group are still doing LESS than 1 hour of exercise a day. Far, less than your average fat loss program asks for.<br /><br />The truth is George, I chose my members based on both attitude and desire as well as those people who would be a challenge and true test for the program.<br /><br />So far, all who were chosen have proven to be great choices, even those who are still struggling.<br /><br />Thanks for following their progress!<br /><br />DaxDaxMoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05348257790287284390noreply@blogger.com
