Hello & Welcome to September News

Hello

Spring is here! I have another interesting newsletter for you this month.

Firstly, I want to send best wishes and love to all those affected in Christchurch after the Earthquake. My daughter Lauren is there and has been so very fortunate to have no damage but has said the novelty of the after shocks is starting to wear thin now.

H.A.B.I.T.S (Healthy Active Bodies In T Shirts) has been a real HIT! So now the weather is better and you are feeling more positive get your friends together and make up a group. The lectures start soon and Summer is just around the corner. Stop delaying what you know is got to be good for you. H.A.B.I.T.S is about looking after yourself and you know at the end of the day that is the most important thing you need to do.

Have you always wanted a personal trainer but did not think you could afford one? Do you spend all your time with your friends talking about how to get fit and healthy but not actually doing anything about it? Trish Buckman H.A.B.I.T.S. 12 Week Challenge is for everyone who requires motivation and professional support. Stop trying to figure it out for yourself and sorting through conflicting information. Work in a team while focusing on your own individual goals.

H.A.B.I.T.S (Healthy Active Bodies In T Shirts) is a 12 week Challenge that is an affordable, informative and a fully supervised programme that provides a fun safe way to achieve your fitness/fat loss/wellbeing goals. Every workout is carried out with Trish Buckman Personal Trainer as a group with 4 or 6 like-minded people once a week for 1 hour. It also includes an educational lecture programme for 1 hour a fortnight with notes, menus, exercise and shopping hints, recipes and ideas for staying on track once the challenge is complete. This is accompanied with before and after photos and regular weigh and measure.

Valuable Shopping Ideas

The four most important things to remember when you are shopping this Spring!

1. Personal Colouring - because you are all gorgeous.

2. Styles that suit your body shape - not all of us have a body like Elle Macpherson.

3. Dress to suit your personality (not your best friends)

4. Lifestyle - where do you spend most of your time?

Calculate the cost per wear for the item you want to purchase, then work out is this an item that I can accessorise? does it go with my wardrobe? and can I wear it to different functions in any season?

Book and website of the month!

The Gabriel Method - The Revolutionary Diet-Free Way to Lose Weight

This has been recommended by a client, Susanna Chelton - thanks! Don't tell anyone but the secret word to download the cd is "heart".

In addition to telling Jon's own story of his amazing transformation, the book reveals why diets don't work and explains a truly unique and revolutionary diet-free way to lose weight. It's based on the fact that your body has an internal logic that determines how fat or thin you will be at any given time. The way to lose weight is not to struggle or to force yourself to lose weight but to understand this internal logic and work with it so that your body wants to be thinner.

When your body wants to be thinner, weight loss is inevitable and becomes automatic and effortless. You simply crave less food, you crave healthier foods, your metabolism speeds up and you become very efficient at burning fat, just like a naturally thin person. And that's the real transformation - to transform yourself into a naturally thin person, so that you can eat whatever you want whenever you want and still be thin, fit and vibrantly healthy.

Health, fitness and lifestyle ideas for September

This months health tip - when you are at the supermarket and before you get to the checkout, take a look in your shopping basket to see what is in there that will deteriorate - that is fresh, canned and frozen food. Now check what is in there that could last in the pantry for years... this means the longer it can last the more processed the product is. A good example is pasta. Remember to eat what is in season when choosing your fresh items and this also helps you to get a varied diet.
