Are You on Twitter?

Post a Comment Just a quick email to let you know that I've been
using Twitter quite a bit lately - and if you're
using it, you should follow me.
I'm going to be using it to collaborate with others,
start discussions, and get input from you my readers... and I'd REALLY
like it if you were connected to me. It's a great way to get a quick answer to your pressing questions about fat loss and exercise.
(Twitter is free, and it's simple to use... very
low hassle factor, and very cool that it's free.)
Here's a good "quickstart" primer from
Tony Hsieh, the CEO of Zappos... on how to get
started in just a few minutes:

My Twitter name is "stephencooper" - I know not very creative, but it works for me.
Just click "find people" at the top after you
register, and search "ebenpagan"... then click
"follow"... and you'll get my "Tweets" when I
send them out.
Send me a note to say hello inside of Twitter
once you're on.
And finally, learn how to USE Twitter. It's
getting big, and it's going to be an important
way to market and stay in touch with customers
in the future.
Happy to Have Appeared in My Local Paper

Post a Comment I just got back from training a client this morning, and was happy to see that my article appeared in the Pasadena Star News. Yes, even on Christmas eve I saw a client at 7am…but she’s a great client who I’ve been training for over 10 years.
So to those of you visiting me from the Star News article this morning, I want to personally welcome you to my site.
Having lived here in Pasadena since 1972, the Star News has been a consistent part of my morning routine.
As we all know there are a lot of scams and outrageous promises with “my” industry. These hucksters are all about promoting outrageous claims of miracle pills, or the “lose 30 pounds in 30 days diet”.
The good news is that you really can be lean and healthy. If you are ready to stop being fooled by the next diet of the month, or similar hype, then you’ve come to the right place. If you were hoping for miracle pills or other celebrity endorsed, cutely named fitness programs, then this site or my in-home personal training is not right for you.
You can check out my "about me" page for more details such as certifications and the like.
By all means if you have any questions, I’d love to hear from you. I hope that you’ll consider me as a truthful resource when it comes to your fitness related questions. You can contact me here.
If you’d like to see more articles, or would like a “Ask The Trainer” type column in the Star News, please let them know. (Contact Catherine Gaugh, the Features Editor at (626) 962-8811 ext 2479, or via email at: catherine.gaugh@sgvn.com . I do see a need for it, as there is so much confusion and misinformation about exercise and training.
I also offer an occasional email newsletter where you can receive the latest info on what it really takes to be lean and healthy. You can sign up right here.

I realize that you are very busy just like me, so I keep the emails to a minimum, and you can always cancel if you don’t receive value from them.
And lastly…A Very Merry Christmas to You!
Sincerely,
Stephen

More About the Acai Berry Scam
Tuesday, November 25, 2008 at 02:23PM |
4 Comments Here's a newsletter I just sent out to my clients...
"You can't really miss it on the Internet these days. Seems like everywhere you look there's another company promoting the nutritious Acai Berry as a weight loss miracle.
And that's why I thought it was critical to write you today. I want to make sure you know my opinion on the subject.
First, you know better than to believe you're going to pop some pills - ANY pills - and have the pounds and inches melt off like magic. If you've been listening to me for any length of time you know true fat loss comes from a variety of factors, including exercise and proper nutrition.
Second, any fitness expert worth their fees will tell you that any diet that promotes you eat any one food all day long and then eat a sensible dinner, well, don't bother. Yes, you will lose some weight short-term, but as soon as you go back to your old eating habits - and you know you will - you know exactly what happens.
Third, the Acai Berry contains VERY powerful antioxidants and it is getting a lot of good press for that very reason. Yes, antioxidants as in the extraordinary nutrients that help fight the free radicals associated with aging, cancer risk and other degenerative diseases.
And while on the subject, I wanted to fill you in on something that has recently come to light. Did you know that coffee berries (the berry that covers the coffee bean) is one of the most powerful antioxidants on the planet? It's something researchers have discovered in recent years.
What's really cool is my friends at Prograde Nutrition have just created an amazing Whole Foods based Anti-Aging formula called Prograde Longevity that includes both Acai Berry and Coffee Berry. Oh, and it also utilizes Green Tea, Pomegranate, Wolf Berry and Biovin Grape (Red Wine extract.)
Just to give you an idea of how powerful this formula is, well, you'd have to eat an entire POUND of raspberries to get the same ORAC value. And in case you're not familiar with the term, ORAC stands for Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity.
The best part is their having a Thanksgiving Week sale to celebrate the launch of Prograde Longevity. From now until Friday you can get 11% off Longevity or any of their other exclusive products they offer.
You can check out Prograde Longevity for yourself here.
Just be sure to enter this coupon code in when you checkout: (yes, it's all lower case)
thanks
Oh, and just so you know, you can't find Prograde products in stores anywhere. They're so exclusive they only let fitness experts work with their company to help them get the word out.
Take care, Stephen
PS - Remember, Prograde's 11% off Thanksgiving Week Sale ends this Friday at Midnight EST, so be sure to get over there today. "
To my readers here on Fitness for Busy Moms...you too can take advantae of this discount. Just use the word "thanks" an you'll get the same dicount as my newsletter subscribers.

Click on the book to buy The Blue Zones...as seen on Oprah"Most people just want the ten things they could do to live longer and stay younger.
So, here's Blue Zones Top Ten for TV. Do them, and you can add up to 14 good years to your life and stay younger along the way:
1. De-convenience your home – lose the remote, buy a light garage door and lift it yourself, use a shovel instead of a snowblower.
2. Eat Nuts – Have a can of nuts around your office or home, eat a handful daily.
3. Drink Sardinian wine – Sardinian canonau wine has the world's highest levels of antioxidants. Drink a glass or two a day.
4. Play with your children – this is excellent low intensity exercise and will strenthen a family. Both associated with longer life expectancy.
5. Grow a Garden – This proven stress reducer will put your body through the range of motion and yield fresh vegetables.
6. Hour of Power – Downshift daily with a nap, meditation, prayer or a quiet walk--destressing is a proven way to slow aging.
7. Eat Tofu – Arguably the world's most perfect food, eaten by the world's longest lived women. Contains a plant estrogen that makes skin look younger.
8. Get a Tan – Doctors are rethinking the notion of slathering yourself with sunscreen. Up to half of Americans are Vitamin D deficient--a condition that can double your chance of dying in any given year. A tan not only looks healthy, it is.
9. Donate your large dinner plates – eat off 9 inch plates as the Okinawans do and reduce calorie consumption at dinner by 20-30%.
10. Write Down your Personal Mission – Know and putting into practice your sense of purpose can give you up to a decade of good life."
