*** I am looking for a handful of people who are interested in a fun body transformation challenge in 2019. And I have a serious hook up for Precision Nutrition and Procoach (well, they’re free). check out the details here: dirobi.com/pages/pro ***

But first, see if you can relate to any of the following:

• 
  
  
  
  
  
  • You’re more tired than you used to be.
  
  
  • You can’t exercise fat off anymore.
  
  
  • You are super busy and don’t have as much time for health and nutrition as you used to.
  
  
  • You are overwhelmed with work and family responsibilities.
  
  
  • You are having a little more brain fog and forgetfulness than you used to…
  
  
  • You are either taking medications or fear you will have to in the near future.
  
  
  
  

If you can relate to this, you’re probably what we call “middle aged.”

You also have some life experience behind you, and you know that short-term, quick-fix stuff just doesn’t last or create permanent change. Trying to improve through these schemes eventually puts you right back where you started, or maybe even a few pounds heavier.

You’re not easy to fool.

Because I know that most of you listening are middle aged, and have a serious interest in health, I am going to present this information in a realistic, longer term approach, rather than focus on the quick transformations of 6-12 weeks that may be unrealistic and are more likely to fail.

Instead the focus here is to:

• Reclaim your vigor and stamina


• Present a program that integrates seamlessly into a busy life, taking literally minutes per day


• No difficult dieting, you eat normal food


• Workout plans can be scaled to work from home or a gym


• Includes “best of breed” supplements that are tailored to your personal needs and situation.

1. Attitude. Interestingly, most people who achieve the most dramatic transformations started with an attitude of being angry, not being positive. This example from Chris Bartl sums this attitude up nicely. “I didn’t like the way I looked, the way I felt, or the way I was leading my life. I was fat and it pissed me off.”

“People who get angry and fed up with being out of shape always have the most amazing, lasting transformations,” says Olesya Novik. “They feel like they’ve got nothing left to lose, so they push themselves to extremes and keep coming back for more.”

So, if you’re ready for a transformation, a little negative energy may lead to more success than positive affirmations. Note it’s not about feeling sorry for yourself though, it’s about constructive realization about elements you are unhappy with in your life and a personal commitment to change them.

2. They surround themselves with people who will help them achieve their goals, and they get a coach.

John Berardi: “Most successful body transformations begin by surrounding yourself with fit people going after the same goals,” Berardi says. These could be friends who’re at your level, or mentors and role models who pull you up to their level. “Either way,” Berardi adds, “Relationships like these insulate you against the sort of negativity that comes from friends, family, and coworkers who aren’t on board with your quest for self-improvement.”

For best success, you need to maximize your time with healthy people who encourage you, and cut back time with friends or family members who are negative.

3. They are committed to their goals, and set hard deadlines.
