Tests for Program Needed. Limited Spots.

21 Apr

Originally I was going to break these up over the course of a few weeks, but I thought I will go ahead and start everyone at the same time. I already have certain people selected for a certain body fat range but I still have some spots open.

Here are the required qualifications in order to participate in the test. These are very important, so please read through them carefully, and think about how you will be affected by it. This is NOT going to be for everyone, so don’t worry if this isn’t for you, ok?

1-You will be required to fill out a questionnaire and future questionnaires before, during, and after programing. All information in this document CAN be shared due to these being public case studies. By filling out this document and sending it to me you are hereby giving your full permission for information to be distributed. Your photos can and will likely be distributed for testimonial purposes to give statement to the programing.

2-All training or nutrition information given to you based on this document information is to be used at your own risk. Avidity Fitness LLC is not to held responsible in any way, for anything that occurs, under any circumstances. MWAHAHA…

3-You are not allowed to share any information about the programming or nutrition guidelines to anyone else until I have given permission to do so.

4-Photos are to be submitted each week at the same time of day in the same outfit. What you wear is up to you, but please try and show as much of your body as possible. No nakies though please. Quality of photos need to be in a good range. Clear and visible in your photo. If someone cannot take the photo of you simply set a timer and move to spot.

5-With your weekly photos you will also be asked to hand in the stat sheet. Some of your will be required to put different things on your stat sheets than others for pure psychological purposes only.

6-This program will vary from 8 weeks to 14 weeks. Your timeline will be guesstimated at the beginning at the program, but may change if needed based up pace. Could be shorter, could be longer.

7-Each person is going through a different phase at different times. The few difference from this vs the product release is a slight tweaking based on individualization, but we hope to utilize and find a formula to best do this in the programming release in the future.

You will be getting update programing every 2 weeks (as needed)
You will be getting updated nutrition guidelines every 2 weeks (as needed)

8-Beyond the check ins and program updates our communication will be limited to general and basic program questions no more than you would ask someone you bought a product from or via on a support forum. Because this is private obviously there is no support forum so I do allow general questions to be asked.

9-You will be required to take final photos that are of good quality. They do not have to be professional pictures but that have to be of good quality. If you are chosen we will go over that together.

10-Lastly, I am being very selective with who I pick and don’t have a huge group selected. This means that your diligence is crucial. If 7 weeks in your haven’t been doing what you need to do I will know and not only will it make my job harder it takes away 7 weeks of data I could have been logging on someone else. So before you join the test I need you to understand the seriousness of your dedication and compliance is 100%. Not 90, 100. I realize that may not be for everyone and that is fine. Just know what you are agreeing to and the dedication level required.

Understand that what I am asking of you is what I am going to be delivering to you. If you want the ultimate of yourself I will help you make that happen in as short of time as we possibly can. I can do this for you because you are going to be a billboard for me. I want hot billboards, so I will not fail you if you promise not to fail me. Deal?

Who I am looking for…

-2 females who are in the range of 22-29% bf. Training experience can vary, but I do need to be informed of it.

-2 females who are in the range of 18-22% bf. Training experience can vary, but I do need to be informed of it.

-2 males who are in the range of 11-14% Body Fat that have a moderate level of training experience to advanced.

-2 males who are in the range of 18-23% body fat that have any level of training experience.

If you are on board and fit the description then please send to trainer @ avidityfitness.net the following information.

1-Name
2-Stats
Age
Height
Weight
Estimated BF%
3-One picture only of yourself of what you currently look like that is clear that gives me a good idea of what your body is.

If you are chosen you will be receiving a questionnaire form and we will go from there. There may be 1 phone call to fact check if short on time. Then you will receive your program and start checking in.

The cut off date for submissions is April 24th at Midnight. From there I will make my final decisions.

Around the Web & Test Clients Needed

17 Apr

Just put up my review about Jillian Michaels new book “Master your Metabolism” over at FLzine. 7 emails since midnight and they aren’t happy.

To be honest I felt that I was pretty gentle. For all you Biggest Loser and JM fans, I still got nothing but love for you, just don’t like what THEY are doing. Always remember that.

I put up another article that had to do with the balance of rest and training. Put it a little different than before I think so if interested you can check it out here.

I wanted to write about this myself but Mike Howard did a nice brief job at covering the Vegetarian binge eating study that came out. Good stuff.

Lastly, over the next few weeks I am going to start to put a call out for certain test clients. It will range. It is to test out a program that is going to be released in the next year (don’t worry, Body By Eats is still coming ;) ) I have done it in person and with accountability, but I always feel like if you are going to sell a program online that you need to test that program in a realistic setting.  I have done that thus far with anything I released and I don’t think, IMO, a program should ever be released without being tested on the audience it is being released too.

I am going to need various people of all shapes and sizes (I will give specifics later) who can follow a program for 8-12 weeks BUT with little to no accountability from me. Meaning I am going to tell you what to do and give you the updates when needed, but other than that you are on your own. Because of this I will be needing people who are disciplined enough to do what I say without me having to help that much along the way, because that is how it would work in real life with the product. You lack of adhering to the program would skew my results and I don’t like that. I wanted to go ahead and put this out there for people to think about. If you think you have what it takes to keep yourself in check, but you just need the right program, then we are a go.

This isn’t just for fat loss either.

Keep an eye open for the next couple of emails/blog posts. I will be asking for the certain types I need at different points.

Now, get out of here and enjoy your weekend.

2 more success stories for the Fat Loss Troubleshoot

14 Apr

I was just over at JP Fitness at my subforum there and read this. I thought I would share as something about it just made me smile. There is so much here about their change, helping their mother, and now helping others change their lives. I have been lucky to have so many people I work with become trainers, or take on this field.

I get asked a lot of why I don’t share more testimonies and stories. I don’t know really, I almost feel like they are private. Like a secret we have between each other. Most of you know they are all over the place and I certainly have them with my in person clients. So I will work on doing that more.

There is also a great tip in here about how to help your mom/dad take on what you are doing. It is so hard because we all want our parents to be with us as long as we can. Often times we can’t get around the fact that we are still the kids and they are the parents. It makes me think I should write some more on this because having your family in general be apart of your new lifestyle can do wonders for you.

Leigh I doubt you will remember me ? I wanted to come back and report on the changes I have made because of your book and listening to your work in general.

I went through the program and saw my abs for the first time. There wasn’t much to see but they were there. Since then I went through a bulking phase and I used Remix to cut back down. I loved Remix, it was better for me and the cycling is what I needed. I have ended up at 5′10 and 182lbs and 8-9% bf based on your videos! I have my abs and a nice chest too.

Better than that my mom had been having health issues and needed to lose weight. I put her on OPT and did her multiplier for her. I did everything I could to help her with making her food and stuff in the beginning. Over Easter she hit 64 pounds lost! She wants to keep going now and she is a new person. She said she mailed you before about a hip issue and that helped her too.

I wish others can have the same luck with their parents. If you guys go a little out of your way to help them in the beginning it helps. All it took was to see 5 pounds here, 4 pounds there lost and she was a believer.

If you can answer a quick question for me?

I got certified. My dream is to do it full time. I don’t have time to do a lot of training so should I start with 1on1 for better experience or is group training just as good? Also how does affiliating your book work? I can do that with a client right?

Thanks for what you do!

If you want more info on the program they used it is called The Fat Loss Troubleshoot. You can check it out here.

Fasting for charity: The follow up

13 Apr

This post was a little delayed because I got two emails that said they were doing it for 10 days and wanted me to hold out. Very cool of them.

This is in relation to the post I made the other week about here about fasting for charity.

My final tally for my fasting for charity based on the Eat Stop Eat plan?

123.00 bucks
1.5 lbs of fat

I didn’t even mean to lose the fat, but there it is anyway. I lost 5 pounds, but of course I always calculate water in my loss.

My donation is going to be in honor of the new baby girl coming into this world of one of my readers Sinead. So mama bear you make sure to let me know what your pick is.

I got 3 other emails stating the following.

49.00 and 5 pounds
28.50 and 2 pounds
102.00 and 10 pounds (he is a big boy strongman though so don’t let that throw you. He eats a horse in a day. )

For more information on the Eat Stop Eat plan feel free to check out Brad’s site here. Not for everyone of course but a very smart and well designed program.

So one blog post and one priciple donated 302.50 to charity and almost 20 pounds. That is only what I know of too. That’s SWWWEEEET!  How did the rest of you do?

Leigh don’t hate lifting

08 Apr

This might be the 100th time you have heard this or it may be your 1st. Here is something you may not have heard before…

Ugly does cardio, hot does lifting.

That may seem a bold statement but let’s be clear for a moment on my intent.

• No lifting leads to ugly performance
• No lifting leads to ugly physique
• No lifting leads to ugly health
• Lifting leads to sexier bodies
• Lifting leads to hotter moves
• Lifting leads to a better well-being

excerpt from one of my articles on Charles Staley’s website

There is an art to programing. There is an art to nutrition and training. Resistance training is in 100% of my programs. From actors to primary bodyweight conditioning. Resistance work is key. Never forget that or forget that I love it. There is a time and a place for all types of training. You don’t have to squat 2x bodyweight, but resistance work is key to it all. You just have to have the goods with program design.

Opt Remix is one of the best resistance programs I have ever written. It is written specifically for fat loss. It is written specifically for “tailoring” your body especially if in the last 10-15lbs range.

Get on it!
