10 Minute Fat Loss

One of the things my members tell me is that they struggle to fit fitness into their lifestyle or stick to a fitness program. What they are looking for is an efficient fitness program that is easy to fit into their lifestyle and above all effective. So I made it my mission to find a solution and I found it. Scott Tousignant is often called the “Ten Minute Man” as he has devised an effective program of working out in 10 minute blocks. In fact with only 20 minutes a day you can effectively burn fat and have a lean mucsle building program that builds nice lean muscle, you can even develop six pack abs, if that’s your heart’s desire.

The great thing is that Scott understands the challenges of managing your fitness routine into a busy lifestyle, staying motivated and creating the healthy body you desire. He has been into health and fitness for most of his life from working out in his parent’s basement at the age of 14 until now. One of his goals at that age was to own his own health club. He studied the sciences at High School and graduated from the University of Windsor, with a Bachelor in Human Kinetics with an honors degree Movement & Science Kinesiology.

After taking some training courses Scott eventually owned his own health club but it wasn’t what he had hoped for. Long hours took their toll on Scott’s health club dream and it was no longer fun. He had put on 45lbs, had no energy left over for his wife and children, and while he was so busy running his health club he no longer got to work one on one with clients, which was his true passion.

Scott chose to sell the business and return to his passion, personal training clients in their homes. During this time he began to experiment and create programs that he used with his clients to get great results as well as creating the program that he used to return to his former fit and lean self. This experience has given Scott the personal experience that allows him to truly understand his client’s needs.

Around this time Scott realized that he only had so many hours in a day and would be able to share his knowledge and expertise with many more people by creating online programs that people could use in their own homes. Using his expertise in Sports Psychology he developed his Unstoppable Fat Loss Programs which deal with mindset and motivation. His online business now takes up most of his time, and he is able to touch many more people from all over the world as their virtual personal trainer. Scott’s only offline personal training clients started with him at the age of 80 years and now at 88 years old are fitter and stronger than ever traveling the world and living a full life. This is certainly something to aspire to.

Many of us set ourselves goals or targets to reach our hearts desire, Scott believes that for many of us goals end up representing just another task or more work in our lives, he prefers to define his strongest desires as his mission – something to achieve, something he is passionate about - rather than a goal, which seems like work to him. There also has to be a big enough why, so rather than counting calories or running 5 miles per day the aim is to be happy with the way one looks and feels, find the passion in your mission. An example of this would be the elation you feel when trying on a piece of clothing that has not been worn for a while and now you find it fits beautifully or is even too loose! This is greater than the effect of seeing the numbers decline on the bathroom scales which doesn’t always reflect in your appearance. In order to be “Outrageously Healthy” you have to try to be the best you can be physically, mentally and spiritually.

The program came from experimenting to get the right balance. Scott realized that breaking his fitness workout into chunks was the best thing for him to balance his health, happiness and family. It is designed for people who work at home and don’t have time for the gym. The Fat Loss Quickie Workout is on YouStream, a password protected site, so members can either do the workouts in realtime or later with the recorded session.
Nutrition plays an important part in overall appearance and Scott keeps nuts or fruits at this desk so he can have a healthy snack if he feels hungry. Most people think they are eating a lot healthier than they actually are and should be more honest with themselves, Scott says. Writing down all the foods eaten in a week helps to highlight where improvements can be made.

When people are not progressing Scott says that reducing rest periods between sets of exercises or increasing the intensity of the exercise can really help. A big part of living “Outrageously Healthy” is stepping out of the comfort zone and pushing yourself a little harder each time.
Scott advises to either cut back or remove alcohol from your life as fat burning, muscle building and alcohol do not mix. The 90/10 rule is a must: Eat and drink healthily for 90% of your time and then the other 10% of things can be the things you consider treats.

To encourage first time exercisers Scott recommends finding something you enjoy because you will feel better and are more likely to continue if you’re doing what you enjoy. Start out slowly, gradually increasingly the intensity. Mindset is extremely important. Instead of setting a goal go on a mission to be “Outrageously Healthy” and be the best you can be.

Re: Do Articles For Businesswomen need to be written differently - One of the best books ever written to illustrate this point beautifully, half the book is written in a story style and then the same thing is written again in more of a text book style. The book is The One Minute Millionaire by Mark Victor Hansen and Robert G. Allen. Quite different and I am sure that each half appeals to different people in different ways. MichelleJ
Re Design - Hi tandrysiak, It has been proven, people who make quick decision tend to be more successful. I myself know, that delayed actions are the reason for not performing to the maximum. I encourage you to let us know your website and some work you have done, so that you have a chance to solve someone's problem. Delayed Action = Delayed success = Loss of income. If fear is the reason, do not worry. I don't know anybody who has never suffered with that. Just do it afraid. Kindest regards Beat "Unlock People's Potentials!"
Marketing vs Web Optimizers vs Usability - Hi BigJim22, I must be honest - I haven't really read a lot of Seth's articles on web site strategies. What I have found though is that there always seems to be a three way conflict between marketing ideas, SEO strategies and usability issues when doing web development. The secret is to balance between the ideal situation for each of these. Since a website needs to be found, visited and acted upon we need a strong combination of marketing, SEO and usability to be successful. It's something we struggle with constantly at Last Minute Training and I'm sad to say - we still haven't found the right combination.

Prequalify an existing business - Getting pre-qualified for financing is a very important step in due diligence when purchasing or starting up a business. But how many people know that also prequalifying an already existing business (an aquisition) that you plan to purchase is equally as important? I cannot even begin to tell you how many people either not seeking a bank loan or can't get one because the bank thinks the risk is too high so they end up financing the business via personal means and commit financial suicide each year because they purchased a business that is doing poorly. When going to a bank, they want to review a good business plan and the business tax returns to ensure they are not taking on a losing business deal. I've heard of people who lost life savings, retirement funds, took out a 2nd mortgage or Home Equity line of credit or borrowed money from frends and family to buy a business that was losing money. They either do not know any better or they thought they can turn the losing business around. The risk of assuming you can turn a business around is too high and there isn't a lender out there who will finance that for you, so why would you? Here's some tips- Stay clear of business owners not willing to release official business financials such as tax returns. Be wary of those who say their business is actually doing well, but then say their tax returns do not reflect that information because they are not claiming all their income. A lot of business owners will show a balance sheet or monthly or yearlyProfit & Loss statements to the prospective buyer (that anyone can create on a computer) which means the documentation can be false. Speak to a professional and have a professional look over the business tax returns, whether or not you plan on doing a bank loan. Make sure that what you are getting into is a good deal from the get go.
