I’m here “On Business” networking with some of the smartest trainers so that I can become a better trainer and help my members and of course you, if you are reading this e-mail.

One of the coolest people I met this weekend were “The Bootcamp Girls”.  Great girls with total passion for helping others.

You can check out their 21 Day Belly Blast Diet at www.TheBootCampGirls.com

Here is me and my bro Luka Hocevar hanging with “The Bootcamp Girls”  at Seaport Village coffee shop brainstorming.

This may shock you but this whole trip I didn’t workout once.

That is something very rare for me, 3 days off.

BUT it is very very important to take time off, it’s something that is very very neglected but crucial in your training.

I went hard the last 4 weeks, 5 days a week doing twice a day workouts, after doing something like this I always like to take a week off from weights.  It gives me a chance to recharge and it also motivates me BIG TIME to get back at it!

I plan to start lifting again Tuesday and I can’t WAIT To get at it!  So sometimes taking a break from lifting is the best thing you can do to re-motivate, give your nervous system a break, and also let your joints heal up.

I usually recommend that you do 6 weeks of intense training followed by 1 week off.  On that week off just go with mild cardio, body weight, stretching and lots of soft tissue work.

Yes I know a week off to some people might seem insane, but trust me it is one of the best things you can do.

So here is how I do my training, and this works big time.  So use this if you want to steal it

Step 1 – Have a workout PLAN.  Don’t just go and lift, have a PLAN. Have a plan and Set Goals!

Step 2 – Go with a 6 week plan, I find 6 weeks perfect to avoid burn out. It’s long enough to get gains, and not long enough to burn out.

Step 3 – Every week set micro goals.  IE. Every week have a goal you want to attain (IE Add 10lbs to bench press, increase squat by 1 rep, etc).

Step 4 – Use the 90/10 Rule.  If you do everything right all week, then have a treat meal Saturday and enjoy yourself.

Step 5- BUST YOUR BUTT For 6 weeks and get your Goal(s)

Step 6 – Take a week off and let your body heal up.

That’s it!

I do this all the time and it works awesome.

So give my 6 weeks on, 1 week off plan a try and let me know how it works out for you.

Ed Newman 6 Week Change

Let me ask you a question.

How have the last 6 weeks of your training gone?  Are You Ripped?

Did You get the body YOU WANT?

How about the last 12 Weeks?  Any Different?  3 Months?

Think about it for a second…

Are you making progress or are you stuck in a rut?

Look back at the last 6 weeks and tell me something.

Have YOU Improved?

Do you have the body YOU want when you look in the mirror?

Are you proud of your body?

If you are like most people my guess (sadly) is no, you haven’t changed that much in the last 6 weeks or even the last 6 months!

I can change all that!

Here’s the deal, my good friend and Newfoundland’s TOP Personal Trainer Andy Pratt just last month finished filming his Warrior Built 2.0 program.  He did this for the relaunch of his DVD.

16 People got in CRAZY shape following his plan.  I mean CRAZY, just see the 3 people here, that’s only 3!  There was 13 more!

The average fat loss was close to 20lbs in only 6 WEEKS!

Average waist line dropped 4″

Andy was only going to use this for his DVD project but I convinced Andy that he had such a good thing that I wanted to bring it to my customers, friends, and to my gym Bushido.  So I convinced him to open this up to another group!

APPLICATIONS FOR WARRIOR BUILT 6 WEEK TRANSFORMATION ARE CLOSED.

Thanks to all applicants!

ANY Questions post em up!  We are happy to answer them!

So Saturday past was the 1/2 way point of my 6 week Warrior Built challenge.  Andy informed me Saturday that  everyone is making awesome gaines and that few of the guys are really taking things to another level so it’s time I try to step things up a notch!

Things are going great so far but with 3 weeks left I am really need to step things up to get under 180 lb (which was my goal).

Saturday i was in Halifax and couldn’t make the workout but even while in Halifax i ate clean 90% of the time (not an easy task), and hit the gym for 2 awesome workouts hitting cardio, circuit weight training & stretching so I could keep on pace. (One thing i noticed is it’s amazing how airport food is CRAP and eating good healthy food is hard to do!) Tim Hortons Fruit Explosion dounuts are not “HEALTHY” LOL.

But now I need to take things to another level and here is how I plan on doing this.

• Bump up my steady state cardio adding in 45min min for 6 days a week (it’s boring but it helps and doesn’t cause soreness, if anything it helps me recover)
• Adding in Tabata Cardio 3 days a week (A blog post coming on this soon) basic premise is HIT cardio like this Sprint for 20 seconds, rest for 10, repeat 8-10 times.
• Cut carbs back even lower.  I will try to have them only every 2nd to 3rd morning and only post workout.  My carbs will be mixed berries & banana post workout.
• Bump my fish oils to about 30g a day.
• Bump my general energy expenditure (more walks, more movement, just generally move more…sounds funny but it works)
• Miss NO WORKOUTS

So I have less than 3 weeks and my goal is going to get done!  When I finish this I am going to enjoy 1 day of food and get my junk and cheating done and go right back to clean eating as to be honest I am loving it!  Energy is better, mood is better, my recovery & strength is down but low carbohydrates will do that.  The good thing is once I reach the leanness I want I can ADD more good carbohydrates back into my diet and I can maintain the level of bodyfat without as much “work”.

Ill have another update next week.  We have pro MMA fighter & UFC competitor Jeff Joslin in for 3 days for training & seminars so I will get some crazy workouts in for next week and post it up!

So it has started!!

The 6 week challenge for 20 people! (ME being one of them!)

Today is the first true day for The Challenge! I started eating clean today (i refuse to use the word diet as that word implies temporary change).

The first workout today at Bushido was freakin awesome!  Great Energy and we have a SOLID Group of people!  Most are friends & customers so it should make for an interesting 6 weeks!

On the flip side of the great workout, I was NOT impressed with my starting stats!
37″ Measured Waist
197 Lbs (Andy’s Scales have to be heavy lol)
and my before pic (which I will show very soon)

I will be 36 In Feb 26 and I want to be LEAN LEAN LEAN for then!  I want to be in better shape at 36 than I was at 30!

The goal is simple. 6 Weeks to bust my ass and get under 180lbs!

I haven’t been under 180 in 6 years (when i did a bodybuilding show). But I plan to give this challenge my all! I can post very little details or post a LOT depending on feedback.

For me the biggest factors are usually consistency with training, making poor food choices (I know what i “should” eat”). So for 6 weeks Im making no excuses! I am going to train as much as I can, eat clean (Not diet) and hit as many workouts as possible!

Should be good and I’m excited!  Ill post up some tips & tricks I learn from Andy along the way to help everyone out!  The more I can learn and pass on the more YOU can learn!
