1) Diet Pill Scam


- I've written about this one before - but I haver to do it again because its getting worse. Last night I went into my spam block folder to check for anything important that may have ended up there, before I deleted everything.


I was shocked to see how many spam emails I had regarding 'Hoodia' fatt burnning di.et ofers. It was ridiculous. The marketers of these products are taking advantage of a largely misleadings series of news stories that aired on majow networks in the last few years. (The all make mention of these stories from a very slanted perspective.)


The truth is these actual products are nothing more than legal stimulants that heave been around for years, mixed with some other 'magical' herbs & such.
Bottom line - this is just another 'product fad' aimed at the lazy consumer who hopes for the magic pill that will be found and get them inot shape overnight.

These spammers keep going because a certain percentage of people buy this stuff - and there will always be people that fall for this.


I'm hoping that as a reader of 'Secrets of a Trainer', you look at the world around you a little differently and think about yourself a little bit differently. You are capable of more than you might know, with just a little bit of proper guidance - not some modern day snake oil gimmick.


Summers coming - are you where you want to be? If not, whats stopping you and how can you think, so those old thoughts do not stop you anymore?


If you are waiting for the perfect time to start workout out - well, get started - now is the perfect time - put that excuse to rest!!

1) Do You Have Heavy Hands?
This section is brief - And I just want to pose the question above to you - as something to think about & not answer until later.

2) Getting a Great Body Starts DEEP Within The Mind
Anyone who achieves lifelong fitness, defined by a great body, a sound mind and a fit spirit does so because their mind started the process with the right thoughts. What we think and believe becomes our reality.

If you think you are not meant to be in good shape and healthy, then you are already deciding what is going to happen to you. Your mind is more powerful than you know. It is connected to the universe.

When you have a thought, it just doesn't stay in your head. That thought goes out into the universe, its almost like energy - you can't see it but it sure as heck exists.

These thoughts that go into the universe eventually become manifested by the universe - there is a constant flow and exchange of 'thought energy' - and so, what you think becomes your reality.

Now don't get me wrong - You can't think you are going to win the lottery tomorrow and then actually have it happen - it is not as superficial as you might be thinking.

Your thoughts have to be genuine to you and must truly believe in them.

I'm going to illustrate this with a real example - of my life.

As you know, helping people achieve optimal fitness and health is my passion - it is what I am on this earth to do. Many of you who have purchased my DVDs know exactly what I mean.

I've been working VERY hard over the last 2 years to expand my reach and offerings across the globe. My name, articles, and products can be found in many corners of the internet - the best way to reach out to the world.

Some of you may already know, from a past issue of 'Secrets' that I aspire to become one of the most popular (by helping MANY people) fitness personalities in the world. Someone has to take over for Jake, Tony Little, Denise Austin, Richard Simmons - These people will all retire sooner than you think.

New faces, new ideas, new philosophies, new approaches to total fitness and health will be necessary for people of the world to turn to for guidance and coaching.

I will be one of those figureheads, as I am already on my way there. The one thought I recently ran through my mind, on many occasions, was someone of significance in the fitness industry is going to 'notice' me AND approach me, reach out to me.

Not to say 'Hey you are great, here is a million dollars - we are going to put you on TV to sell a lot of home exercise equipment.'

But more for the sake of noticing that someone is putting a different twist on something that does in fact need to be delivered and brought to the masses in a newer, more enlightening way.

Two days ago I focused on this thought a bit more - I envisioned it happening (not necessarily the person) - but the event & how it would come to be.

Yesterday morning I received a voice mail from a 'Secrets of a Trainer' subscriber - whom I did not know was a subscriber (so he is also reading this right now, too! Hi Len.)

The voicemail was from Dr. Len Schwartz, the inventor of the 'Heavyhands' concept and products.

I was quite surprised and honored to hear form him - because I have used his invention countless times with the numerous clients I have worked with over the years. (For those of you who may not know of Heavyhands - they were the biggest thing to put walking into the 'fitness activity' category after jogging was 'invented' -they are comfortable dumbbells with padded bars that go across the back off the hand.)

I consider Dr. Schwartz a true pioneer in our industry and to get a personal call from him, requesting that I call him back at his home was an incredible experience.

I did call him back and we had a remarkable conversation that could have lasted for hours. Needless to say a friendship was started that I look forward to nurturing - because it is from people like Len (Dr. Schwartz) that I will gain more wisdom & insight as to how I can better help the world become a healthier and more fit place for us.

It will also allow him the opportunity to pass on ideas, concepts & thoughts so they do not fade with time but become more refined and developed so they are helpful to many the people who can benefit from them.

(This is a little long, huh?)

The point I am making is this:
My thoughts are having a tremendous impact on the things that 'happen to me'. My beliefs are under my control, my mind creates and releases the thoughts that I produce, the universe receives those thoughts and has to do something with them - they are energy. The easiest thing for the universe to let happen is to let these thoughts manifest themselves into reality.

Your life, your body & your health can all be impacted the EXACT same way - nothing different about it.

You have to believe that your true desires are possible. Your thoughts must reflect this and your actions have to be in the direction of your goals.

What you believe, is. Did you get that? Your mind creates your reality.

(Len I hope you enjoyed this.)

Regarding #1 - Do you have heavy hands?
