			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After more than 2 years of not taking on any more 1 on 1 personal training clients and growing our personal training business for our trainers, I&#8217;ve decided to open up 1 of our 1 on 1 options again; high intensity training phone consultations.</p>
<p>Whether you are a high intensity training fitness enthusiast or a professional personal trainer in the field, Master Trainer, Chris Lutz, has the answer for you to help perfect your training experience. <span id="more-179"></span>A little knowledge goes a long way.</p>
<p>Are you having trouble making progress? Don&#8217;t know how to organize a routine? Don&#8217;t know how to figure out appropriate resistances to use? Equipment problems? Don&#8217;t know how to work with or around an injury? Specific problems with your clients that you train?</p>
<p>Whatever your problem, more than likely the answer is within reach and can be solved relatively quickly and you can get back to productive training.</p>
<p>Master Trainer, Chris Lutz, has been thoroughly involved specifically in HIT for well over a decade professionally being certified when he was only 19 years old and obtaining a college degree in exercise science. He&#8217;s been using HIT principles since the age of 14. Through constant academic study, good further technical training from some of the best minds in the industry, several years of management of other HIT facilities, and owning a HIT company currently, put him at Master Trainer status. He has seen and worked through just about every issue relating to safe and effective high intensity training.</p>
<p>Testimonials:</p>
<p>&#8220;Chris Lutz has been our personal trainer for 4 years, and in our opinion, you will not find a better trainer with a better program. We&#8217;re both turning 45 years old this summer, and are thankful to say that we&#8217;re in the best shape of our lives due to our regimen with S.P.A.R.T.A.. Every week for 4 years we&#8217;ve done a High Intensity Training (HIT) workout for 30 minutes a session, that&#8217;s it. We both have gained strength/muscle mass, and also have lost a significant amount of fat by maximizing our efforts during training sessions and minimizing unhealthy food choices. If you&#8217;re looking for a personal trainer who can guide you to your personal best, please give S.P.A.R.T.A. a call.&#8221;</p>

Tina and Marcus Pluntke</p>
<p>&#8220;I am so excited to have found Chris Lutz and S.P.A.R.T.A.! I have worked with other trainers in the past&#8212;have spent a lot of money&#8212;and have gotten minimal results. In just 2 months at S.P.A.R.T.A. and the program they employ, I am down in weight, up in muscle tone, and thrilled with the results. You know it&#8217;s working when others notice a difference in you, too&#8212;and that&#8217;s just further proof that the knowledge and expertise is what separates them from others in the personal training profession. If you want great results in a short amount of time, look to Chris and his S.P.A.R.T.A. team. You will NOT be disappointed.&#8221;</p>

Chris Lutz&#8217;s knowledge of anatomy and it&#8217;s relation to fitness, and health is extraordinary. He not only gives you a plan, but the why behind it.

<p>&#8220;I hired Chris Lutz to help me correct 9 years of weight gain and muscle loss due to an out of control thyroid. In the last year I have lost 50 pounds and gained muscle thanks to Chris&#8217; ability to provide a personal training regime that works for me. S.P.A.R.T.A. understands the body and illnesses and worked with me to overcome the obstacles for my specific condition. You have nothing to lose by visiting them for a consultation to see if they can improve your health and fitness level. I guarantee you will be pleased by the results if you follow the program&#8230;.and who can&#8217;t do two thirty minute workouts each week?&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you&#8217;ve been in business for any length of time, you probably know that it&#8217;s hard to survive on one product alone. Especially a service like personal training which can be at a premium in many areas. If something were to happen like, say, I don&#8217;t know, a global financial crisis (oh wait, that did happen) then it can make it hard for people to feel confident spending a lot on what they still consider &#8220;luxury services&#8221;. This is where other income streams can come into play and help support the health of your business while other streams my see a decline. Below you&#8217;ll find one of the best tools for doing so at a lower price to the consumer, and more time for you. In addition, it can be set to be self guided on auto pilot if you wish and it offers an opportunity for recurring revenue. <span id="more-172"></span>You should always try to implement programs that have an element of recurring revenue.</p>
<p>Lead capture, marketing and promoting yourself and your services&#8230;these are all core business practices for you. The eFitnessTracker system helps with that. Imagine having a tool such as a Fitness Analysis to send people to and be able to capture them as a lead. Or just a Contact Us page for someone to contact you and inquire more about what you have to offer. Do you think that could lead to extra sales for you? Check out some demos:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Happy Thanksgiving everybody!  I hope you all got a chance to grab and read a copy of my FREE book Maximum Fat Loss, Minimum Time.  Sadly, the freebie has passed and is now closed.  </p>
<p>I want to talk about an idea that I had that might be a successful strategy for some of you.  Many people wake up each day trying to lose fat and put in a lot of effort to restrict, restrict, restrict calorie intake.  The only trouble with this is it&#8217;s kind of a negative emotion evoking way to think.  <span id="more-40"></span></p>
<p>So as I&#8217;ve talked with many of you lots of times, your body is not operating on exactly a 24 hour basis so even if you are averaging a deficit over 3-5 days, you&#8217;ll still lose.  I figure that if you would like to lose 10 lbs, that equals a solid block of 35,000 calories.  Start your fat loss with that chunk in mind and each day you are below your limit, subtract that out of the original chunk.  If you are in a surplus, add that back into the original.  There is a caveat here.  You cannot go too low either.  If you don&#8217;t eat enough and go below your lower limit, ADD that amount back in.  Going too low and delving into shutdown mode is just as bad, if not worse, than consistently eating too much.  </p>
<p>The idea here is to gradually whittle down that origninal chunk.  And because there will be some good days and some ones where you over do it, just keep whittling down.  On average, as you whittle down, you&#8217;ll lose.  The act of whittling down should feel like a success in your mind (like winning a game) versus constantly thinking negatively that you have to restrict what your are consuming, or avoiding foods you like, etc.</p>
<p>Of course, this is going to require that you know what your metabolism is to begin with.  Be sure to pay attention over the next couple days as I&#8217;ll be putting up another post especially about accurately determining what your specific metabolism is.  </p>
<p>Enjoy your holiday with you family and don&#8217;t stress about how much you are consuming.  If you&#8217;ve been doing well up until now, you should have a nice deficit built up and a bigger cushion going into the big day.  We&#8217;ll get right back on track after the holiday is over.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>1. Don&#8217;t get caught up in the quick fix &#8211; There is no such thing as a quick fix and you&#8217;re fooling yourself if you think there is. Good things come to those who wait and any health and fitness goals are going to take effort and commitment on your part.</p>
<p>2. Record and review &#8211; If you don&#8217;t keep track of your workouts and improvements, how will you know if you&#8217;re making progress? Whether it&#8217;s fat loss, building muscle tissue, or just feeling better; keeping a <a href="http://spartatraining.com/info-products.php" target="new">log</a> helps and motivates you to get there. When you see where you were, and where you are, you realize you&#8217;re making progress!

<p>3. Use a smaller plate &#8211; Most houses have a collection of more than one set of dishes and usually they all vary in size. So, when you have a family dinner and the table doesn&#8217;t have to look perfect, set the table giving yourself the smallest plate you own. It holds a lot less food, but gives the appearance of normal servings.</p>
<p>4. Perform your workouts in a circuit &#8211; Some recent studies are showing that circuit workouts can burn more calories than one single set or multiple standard set workout. So if time&#8217;s an issue (gee, there&#8217;s a thought) try incorporating a circuit training system where you do multiple exercises in succession so that you can accomplish more results in less time.</p>
<p>5. Use a daily training planner &#8211; You have important commitments scheduled into your planner, right? Volunteer work, doctor appointments, children&#8217;s activities, etc. Where&#8217;s EXERCISE??? It&#8217;s as important a commitment (if not more) than your other activities. Quick tip: mark &#8220;EXERCISE&#8221; in your planner with a bright colored marker, so it stands out as a reminder to get your butt in gear.</p>
<p>6. Train your Mind &#8211; Listen to audio books while you exercise &#8211; Self-improvement and motivation books are GREAT here. You&#8217;ll feel twice as productive, and highly energized, and the time will fly. As you are working out you are not only focused on feeding your body, but your mind. What a great combination to live by.</p>
<p>7. Want to keep fitting into your favorite jeans? &#8211; You know the ones that fit you nicely several years ago? Keep them. Keep trying them on to keep yourself in check to keep eating right and exercising.</p>
<p>8. Keep a journal of how you feel after exercise. &#8211; Especially the great workouts. On the days you just don&#8217;t feel like exercising, look back on the good workout days for some inspiration.</p>
<p>9. See exercise as a stress-releaser &#8211; A simple shift in attitude can do wonders for your stress levels. If you&#8217;ve had a long, hard day at work, exercise is something to LOOK FORWARD TO relieve your stress and revive yourself.</p>
<p>10. Get connected &#8211; Check out the e-mail, chat, or discussion groups on the Internet that deal with fitness, weight loss, diet, exercise, etc.</p>
<p>11. Look in the mirror &#8211; sometimes that is all you need to trigger you into the lean, fit, and energized mode.</p>
<p>12. Persistence! &#8211; Violate this step and you&#8217;ll never achieve permanent results. A recently conducted  10 year study which proves that persistence is the single most important aspect of any diet or exercise program. The study followed a group of people (group #1) who exercised and dieted very strictly, but sporadically and compared those results to a group of people (group #2) who exercised mildly and followed a very basic diet, but this group never varied from their routine. Even though group #2 exercised and dieted far less (but did so persistently) they got 68% better results than those who exercised and dieted VERY STRICTLY but only occasionally.</p>
<p>13. Workout around other people &#8211; Working out with others will get you about 43% faster results!!!</p>
<p>14. Don&#8217;t take bad advice &#8211; Take ONLY the advice of those people who look strong &#038; healthy themselves, and, whom you know to be knowledgeable about health &#038; fitness!</p>
<p>15. Surround yourself with winners. &#8211; One of the key qualities of all successful people is that they avoid negative people and they spend the majority of their time surrounded by those who have already achieved what they themselves seek to achieve. So if your goal is to weigh 135 pounds by eating healthy and living an energy full life &#8211; then seek out others who already live a healthy lifestyle and weigh 135 pounds. Hanging out with people who just talk about getting in shape but never take persistent action will ensure that you never reach your goal.</p>
<p>16. Know your outcome &#8211; Have specific goals. Get a photo (or several) of what you WILL look like when you reach your goal, and then focus only on that image. Quickly erase any negative beliefs or images that may enter into your mind during your day.</p>
<p>17. Increase the number of meals consumed per day &#8211; On average, you should be eating some form of protein, carbohydrate, and healthful fat combination that&#8217;s high in fiber every 2 -3 hours of the day. Doing so will give you an almost unfair advantage over those who only eat the normal 3 meals (or less) each day.</p>
<p>18. Visualize clearly and often &#8211; Design your new body in your mind first. You cannot achieve your idea of the perfect body if you don&#8217;t have an idea of what the perfect body means to you. Take 10 minutes when you are sure not to be disturbed by people or phone calls, get comfortable, fully relax, and then begin to dream about what you will look like when you have achieved your goal. Be specific, what will your calves look like, your legs, your butt, your lower back, your stomach, your chest, your upper back, your shoulders, your neck and your face. Then review this image as often throughout each day as possible (never less than 3x/day).</p>
<p>19. Hire a personal trainer or fitness coach &#8211; It is proven that having a motivating and positive support system will help you stay with your goals long term. How many times have you started an exercise program and stopped? Remember those New Year&#8217;s Resolutions? How many have you kept? Was losing weight or eating healthier part of those resolutions that are now on a shelf collecting dust? Do you have multiple pieces of exercise equipment that you bought on an infomercial late at night that you now hang your clothes on collecting dust? Get motivated and use a Fitness Coach or Personal Trainer to help support you in your life long mission to permanent weight loss and better overall body fitness and health.</p>
