Congratulations to NICOLE AGAIN:)

I'm SO SO proud of her. She looked even better than at the Monster Mash. She placed 4th at the Kentucky Muscle which is a HUGE show. She placed 4th in the figure A class.

Someone once told her she needed to take drugs to get on stage-MAN did I prove that trainer WRONG. You do not need drugs to compete just a good trainer that can give you proper advice about eating enough food and training HARD.

Way to go. If you are looking to compete in 2011 or have a goal you need to achieve-let me know. That's what I do best.

Congratulations NICOLE!!!

Nicole is the lady I was telling you about earlier. She has a great story-like most women BUT she made time for herself to compete. She had a goal and went after it. She placed 2nd in Figure Novice out of 13 and 2nd in her figure class which had 10 girls in it. I was so proud of her, I was so nervous, you would of thought that it was me up there. She is going to compete again in a few weeks.

I hope you all had a great Halloween. My Minnie Mouses sure did!!!!! We have enough candy to last us till next years Halloween. Izabella wants to wear her outfit when we go on our Disney Cruise. Hey, if anyone has done a Disney Cruise let me know. The entire family on my side is going and I want to know if there is something I should or shouldn't do. We are so excited. I've never been in a cruise before!!!

Also let me know if you are interested in the Brookville Workout Weekend at teh new gym. It's Jan 8-9. My friend Beth is already teaching classes there so it should be a great weekend.

It will be similar to the one her and Joyce Rogers did last year. I will be teaching more than legs this year though!!!! I know all the ladies loved the leg workout!!!!

Have a great week and GO COLTS!!!!

I'm heading to the MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL GAME!!!! I've never been so I'm so excited. Should be a good game!!!!!

Lishia Dean and I are heading to ALASKA !!!!

We are doing a training camp at T.N.A. Fitness in December. Email me if you want details. Space is limited, so everyone will get one-on-one attention.

I'm trying to upload the flyer but my computer won't allow me to do it for some stupid reason-probably operator error!!!!!!

Halloween right around the corner

Why can't my girls decide what they want to be for Halloween??? Izabella changes her mind every couple days. I guess she is like most of us females-we can't decide if we want to go to the gym, sleep in a few extra minutes, eat clean or go to a fast food place, take a family walk or just sit on the couch-sound familiar?
It's time to make up your mind and make TIME for you-only 1 hour 5x a week is all you need-any could even do a little less if you wanted to be a little more intense in a shorter amount of time.
Start thinking about your goals TODAY-not tomorrow and set them and GO ACHIEVE THEM. It's not that hard. HOW BAD DO YOU WANT IT???
This has been my saying since I lost my baby weight in 2005-and I'm sticking to it.
Ladies, we all want to stay in our warm beds an extra hour but does that make up for the dessert/drinks you had this week? NO, so get up and get your butt moving.
Ok enough of that-
I'm going to have a transformation make-over starting Jan 1st to help keep ladies motivated and headed in the right direction. Email me now if you are interested. There will be a great prize for the top 3 winners.
I will also be helping my 2 dear friends Beth & Joyce at their BFF Weekend in Brookville in January. Email me if you have any questions-we will have a blast and you will learn TONS. It's at a NEW gym in Brookville.

Well if I can motivate you in any way email me at Bearclaw@seidata.com
Congratulations to Julie Borchert-a former Getphatonline client was also featured in this months Oxygen-Off the Couch issue. I worked w/ her when I worked for GetPhat. Julie went after her goals and look at her now!

Congratulations Joyce

I want to sent a HUGE CONGRAULATIONS to Joyce-my very first client and she's the reason I became a personal trainer. Joyce is in this months Oxygen mag Special Edition. She has had a huge transformation. You'll have to pick ya up a magazine and she how she can motivate you. WAY TO GO-so proud of her.

I have another motivational client-Nicole. She'll be competing in her first show at the Monster Mash. She is kicking butt making huge changes to her body. I can't wait to see her on stage. She's a single mom, just started a new job (she's been traveling for 3 weeks for training) has a house and a 2 yr old to care for and STILL gets in her cardio, weights and STICKS TO HER DIET. It can be done:) I'm very excited to see her on stage. I saw her in her suit last night and she looks amazing.

We all have stress, work issues, family issues, kid issues, school issues and the list can go on and on. The difference is who can work through those issues and still make time for themselves-only 1 to 1 1/2 hours a day 5 x a week? You can't control your issues-only GOD has that control, it's how you deal w./ them that is up to you. Don't let stress and ISSUES take control-get to the gym or go for a walk and get rid of those stress issues. Take it out on the pavement or on the squat rack. YOU CAN DO IT.

Ok, enough on that. We had our Aurora's Farmer's Fair this past weekend. This was the first time Rozalee was big enough to ride rides. What a blast-funny thing is last weekend (same carnival company) said she wasn't tall enough-guess she grew a bunch in a week:) LOL. The parade was great, my grandma loved it. It was a bit chilly but well worth it. Kenny and his old buddy on the slide-who would of thought they would go from racing dirt bikes/harley's/quads to racing on the fair slide!!!

Hope you all have a great week and MAKE TIME FOR YOURSELF-don't feel quilty-you deserve it.

Exteme Training Camp

What can I say-I have been to lots of camps but NONE that even touches this kind of camp. Totally different than what I'm used too.

There were male, female bodybuilders, figure, fitness and bikini competitors and ladies just getting ready to take the stage for the first time. I have been working w/ John Parrillo since January and I thought I had learned alot from him already. Well, I learned much more, not only about how and why he designed equipment like he has but the how and why you need to eat to get ready for a show and how to eat getting ready for a show so you don't blow up afterwards. He teaches how to eat in the off season and how not to get fat. With all the products he has you can't get fat. Who else had protein cookies, ice kreem, brownies, frosting, cake mix and much more that is sugar free and fat free AND MADE ALL IN THE USA!!!!!!!!!
We started on Friday night w/ dinner and chatting. We had tilapia, green beans and the best salad I have ever had in my life. All the participants could sample anything they wanted all weekend. There were some bodybuilers in the protein brownies, ice kreem and frosting-that thought they died and went to heaven. We started discussing nutrition while our food settled, then it was time to hit the floor. We did 30 minutes of cardio which was made up into 2 minute then 1 minute stations some exmples were incline presses, swing squat, leg press, shoulder press, abs and more. I made it through that OK but was soaked at the end. Lishia stayed w/ me and let me tell ya we both slept well. I was amazed at people that do 2 hours of cardio a day that were struggling w/ 30 minutes.
On Saturday we started w/ back and ended w/ a 100 rep set. Yes, my lats are hurting today. I have been training back w/ John since April and I can honestly say that my summer shirts from last year don't fit this year. I have grown so much in my lats that I even had to by bigger bras. I love it.
We had chicken, stuffed peppers, salad, baked pot. and I can't even rememeber all that was served-all of it was amazing and all of the recipes are online in the CapTri cookbook, if you are interested. After a few more discussions it was time for legs. I demo'ed how to do Parrillo Pelvic Pushes w/ 3 plates just cause I do them weekly. Then it was BELT SQUAT TIME. I have only done this 1x in my life. I was SCARED TO DEATH. We all did 1 100 # plate for 20 reps, then 200# for 15, 300# for 12 and 400# for as many as you can do then 100# for 100 reps. My goal was to match Lishia at 16, well my mind was in the right place and I won at 21 reps w/ 400# belted to my waist. It also shows how important a spotter is when lifting this heavy. After that we were all shot and did 10o rep set for calves and ate dinner.
On Sunday we did a cardio session that was the hardest I have ever done in my life. Try sprinting on a treadmill w/ it turned off, doing a powerlifter move then pylos for your resting period. All in 1 minute, 45 sec and 30 second intervals. We had 3 sec. to get to the next station, we couldn't stop till we made the 3 sec mark. I was about to start kicking peoples butts myself to get them to move it!!! We then ate breakfast and had these sweet pot muffins and a killer keish (not sure how to even spell that)? We went over chest, shoulders and abs. How many of you use your hip flexors when you do abs? I learned how NOT to use your hip flexors at ALL??? I learned how to train different parts of your pecs and different parts of your shoulders and how to isolate a muscle. I had never learned this before. I was amazed how form was the most important thing, it's not about moving the weight to get it where it needs to be but doing it properly to avoid injury and actually make the muscles grow. The thing I love about John is that he has been around for over 30 years and he showed bodybuilders how to grow by eating the proper calories and training HARD CORE. It's not about taking drugs to get there but to be patient and work freakin HARD. Pain is NOT an option at PARRILLO. I think that's where the powerlifting days come out in him. YOU DO NOT STOP WHEN IT GETS HARD or you do MORE. IF YOU DON'T GET DEEP ENOUGH YOU DO IT AGAIN. I am totally changing my body and I'm eating very clean and enjoying it. It's awesome and the group was awesome. It was cool to be working out w/ IFBB Pros and people working to get their pro card. It's all about having the mind set to get to the next level-unless your mind is set you won't be able to do it. SET IT TODAY!!!! I did
