selfish or being?

being selfish isn't living like you want.

it's asking others to follow as you want.

(ps. what do you want?)

simple ZEN

what you think - you become!

What's the easy thing to do? What's the fun thing to do? What would have the most impact? 

...So what are ya going do?

Up an at em!

what counts...

It's what you learn, after you know it all!

change!

It’s not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is most adaptable to CHANGE

The goal of training is to force a change! It is a method to broach a threshold in your body…that then forces adaptation and change in YOU.

Quality training does this as effectively and efficiently as possible. Ie it optimizes your time, effort and impact onto your body

QUICK + CONVENIENT!

fat-burning SECRETS

Here's the secret recipe to burn fat like an incinerator!

There are 2 major processes involved
1. Mobilization of fat, ie. How to get fat out of your fat cells
2. Transport & Oxidation of your fat


1. Mobilization: is controlled by the sensitive hormone Lipase. The more Lipase the more fat mobilization!
a.) But how do you increase Lipase...
b.) by increasing catecholamine levels. You increase those through High intensity exercise
However
Lipase is limited by insulin, ie. if you have have high insulin levels, then your lipase levels will be low
c.) Regulating Insulin is based on your nutrition (keeping sugar and refined foods out is critical)

2. Transport & Oxidation of your fat.
When you have high levels of Lipase, your fat breaks down into FFA (Free Fatty Acids)
a.) FFA circulate in the blood – eventually ending up in the muscle where they can be burned as energy.
b.) FFA are limited by carnitine - High carnitine levels mean high fat transport
BUT
If muscle gylcogen is high then carnitine is low
So you need high intensity exercise to reduce your muscle glycogen

SIMPLE
High Intensity = accelerated fat loss

"Money is the most envied, but the least enjoyed. Health is the most enjoyed, but the least envied."
-Charles Caleb Coltong (1780-1832)

a.) Hardly the most modern statement
b.) But certainly the most true.

Two monks watching a flag fluttering in the wind.

One said,
"It's the wind that moves."
.
The other said,
"I disagree, it's the flag that moves."

But another monk standing nearby, said,
"It's not the wind, nor the flag."
.
It's the mind that moves."

your 'PRESENT'

Tick-tock, tick-tock

Imagine there is a bank that credits your account each morning with $86,400. It carries over no balance from day to day. Every evening the bank deletes whatever part of the balance you failed to use during the day. What would you do? Draw out every cent? Of course!

1. Each of us has such a bank. Its called TIME.
2. Every morning, it credits you with 86,400 seconds. Every night it writes off, as lost, whatever of this you have failed to invest to good purpose.
a.) activities that'll optimize your life

3. It doesn't carry any balance - there aren't any overdrafts! Each day is a fresh new account for you, and each night it burns the remains of the day. If you fail to use the day's deposits, the loss is yours. There is no going back. There is no 'drawing' against tomorrow's deposit - You must live in the present on today's deposits.
a.) Time is the ultimate thing that never comes back
b.) The most precious of 'commodities'

4. It's why Pineapple places such a high premium on the time aspect.
a.) It's not about creating a minute shorter as a marketing advantage
b.) It's about optimizing your life
c.) Quality training, should only take 15-20 mins. Invest and get the very greatest return
d.) And then take that 'return' and enjoy 'spending it' in society - as a fit, healthy and "Juiced" person.

5. Invest in your optimum health, happiness, and success! NOW - The clock is running.

tick-tock, tick-tock!

(Here's a thought - To realize the value of ONE MINUTE, ask a person who missed the train. To realize the value of ONE-SECOND, ask a person who just avoided an accident)
.
Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is mystery. Today is a gift. That's why it's called the “present.”

tick-tock, tick-tock!

what do you watch?

"When you see the invisible you can do the impossible"

Above is the penrose triangle - technically an impossible object

• Watch your thoughts they become your words
• Watch your words they become your actions
• Watch your actions they become your habits
• Watch your habits they become your character
• Watch your character it becomes your destiny

What do you think when you look at the Triangle

want it?

what's your target?

  #1 - See it
  #2 - Keep your target in your sights
  #3 - Keep 'hitting' it until you achieve it.

There are 5 key laws to ensure you achieve your target

1. The law of straight lines - ie.Understanding the most efficient solution is a straight line between you and your desired action

2. The law of clear vision - ie. A very clear concept of exactly what you want to achieve

3. The law of focussed attention - ie. a laser zone into only your target.

4. The law of focussed energy - ie. to galvanize all your input into your specific target

5. The law of action/reaction - ie. Everything you do either moves you nearer your target or further away.

turn it on

Everything is really like a big Rheostat.

• If it's turned right down, you say you can't see anything.
• Slowly as it's turned on you can see more and more.

Just like in life. The more it "goes on inside you" - the clearer everything becomes.

I often refer this as the "awareness-appreciation-awareness-appreciation" cycle

• The more aware we become, the more we appreciate, so we become even more aware etc...

Are you turning the rheostat up?

smart knowledge

is learning facts

it's learning 'philosophy'

2. Just like optimum training isn't discovered in a text book
a.) It's the wisdom of experience, intuition plus learned results.

be smart

'Without effort you cannot be prosperous. Though the land may be good, you cannot have an abundant crop without cultivation"

1. I call cultivation "Smart effort"
a.) the minimum to get the result you want!

Is your training "smart effort"
a.) Does it work all your systems
b.) Does it do so in the most time-sensitive manner possible

investing

Question: A businessperson has $100,000 and buys a property for $50,000. How much has he got left?

Answer: Not $50k, but $100k - He has made an investment not an expense. In fact, done shrewdly the person may have $120,000, $150,000 or even more

Your health is the same. Invest in yourself, and it will multiply in return.

Geometry

How many geometrists do you know? the... "I think outside the box!" brigade

1. Yeah - sure!
a.) You've already constructed a box - which you're then saying you think out of - to illustrate a great breadth of thought and vision.
b.) sadly mistaken they are.
c.) a constructed paradigm to foster self-belief and positive thought process

2. News-flash!
a.) action is everything

In fact
a.) Everything exists and nothing exists

Further
there is continuous action every milli-second of our lives
a.) We either choose to tap into or not
b.) Think of it like a Rheostat on a light - it's always on, you either choose to shine the light or dim it to what looks like off

Are you working with action? or hiding (pretending it doesn't exist)
a.) A little like the 'pretenders' who "think outside the box"
b.) Flourish - Be Free - FLY!

b.) Does it 'expand and adventure' new 'territories' in your body.

Luck

In times like these people refer to “lucky” people.

I think luck is a paradox – certainly there are events that occur that are huge exceptions – but that’s exactly what they are exceptions. I think the choice of action is ‘effort’ – which can ensure guaranteed return. (The biggest key is optimum return on your effort – exactly what we practice at Pineapple Fitness)

I recall a conversation I had when I was part of the World Cup South Africa Rugby team with a South African Sports-legend, the golfer Gary Player. He recounts the number of times people would refer to some of his shots that were “lucky” eg. when he holed out from a bunker etc… He very pointedly made the point that his “luck” was a direct correlation with the hours he would dedicate on his practice sessions!

Yes – ‘luck’ may occur – but it is not something we can choose. Effort we can choose and can also make direct correlation to its benefits.

Are you choosing to be fit and healthy? Are you choosing the most effective and efficient workout’s possible to optimize your effort, and realize the lifestyle you want.
