Road to Popeye's Fall Classic 2017 - It Begins

I have been holding off before deciding to let everyone know about a new show I plan on going into in about a month. Partially because I was not sure myself if I was going to enter it or not? Well I have decided to go for it even though it's only about a month away. The show is the Popeye's Fall Classic 2017 being held in Richmond BC on November 19th 2017.

This show for me is all about having fun, my last show the Canadian Nationals was kind of stressful as I had my 1st place title to try and hold onto and also that Pro Card dangling in front of me. The Popeye's Fall Classic is not a qualified show so I can enter pretty much any class I want to, so why not go in Open and compete with the young bucks. I even have plans to give Classic Physique a shot, why not, it's only an additional $50 and it's all for fun!

In prep for the Popeye's Fall Classic I have been on a slow bulk and I'm currently hovering around 204 pounds which is heavy for me, the good news is I'm not all that fat and feeling stronger than ever so there is some new muscle I hope to take with me to the stage which will help a lot in Classic Physique for sure!

I do have my work cut out for me heading into the Popeye's Fall Classic as I need to lose about 5-8 pounds of fat and keep the muscle I have been working hard to gain and I only have about 4.5 weeks to do it in...

WorldMark Las Vegas Boulevard Lazy River Lap 360 VR Video

Last week I was in Las Vegas on vacation and we stayed at our usual timeshare hangout, the WorldMark Las Vegas Boulevard. The weather was really great so we made time to spend a couple of afternoon hanging out by the pool and Lazy River. I really enjoy floating around in the Lazy River so I thought I would record a lap around using my Samsung 360 Gear VR Camera and share the experience with everyone :) Enjoy!

My Favorite Isagenix Protein Bars

In this Isagenix product review video I go over my Favorite Isagenix Protein Bars, focusing on the ones that I find the best tasting yet still deliver a nice amount of protein with low overall calories.

If you're looking for a ton of protein then checkout the Isagneix Amped Protein Bars, they come in several flavours and are very filling with 28 grams of protein, 29 grams of carbs 13 of which are fiber and only 5 grams of fats. All of this packed into only 230 calories for the entire bar.

A Vegan Dairy-Free, Soya-Free, Gluten-Free option and also super great tasting with their chocolatey coating are the Isagenix IsaLean Dairy Free Protein Bars. With 250 calories they have 19 grams of protein, 29 grams of carbs and 8 grams of fats.

Why most people fail at Health & Fitness and other Endeavors

I was at a “raw raw” Multilevel marketing meeting the other day and something really hit home for me. I’m not even going to mention the name of the business since it does not matter for the purpose of this video as this info is for everyone.

The main guest speakers really focused on what the difference was between people that where successful in “Blank Business” and why so many people are not successful. You may think it comes down to how much a person wants or needs something but this simply is not the case. At the end of the day it comes down to simply who does something about it. We are all guilty of saying to ourselves, I’m going to do this or that, but then we do nothing at all or make a pathetic attempt with zero follow up. And then we claim that it was too hard or it’s just not for me.

This really hit home for me since I see the exact same problems for people who want to get healthier and eat better. They all want to lose weight and get stronger and look better. They all have virtually the exact same resources to get it done. So why do some people achieve their Health and Fitness goals and some people do not?

I can tell you it has nothing to do with their workout program, it has nothing to do with their diet. It has everything to do with following through and with what they decided they where going to do. It’s more than simply making a decision to do something. You need to actually go ahead and create a plan and then follow up with your plan even if it’s just a little something every day. This sounds simple right, so why do so many people fail at this?

I want to include myself in this behavior also, I’m guilty of failing miserably and not following up with decisions I’ve made. Not so much in the health and fitness side of things since over time I have gained a level of confidence and know how to make that side of my life a reality but the area that I struggle with the most is with financial goals. I have had plenty of opportunities to get involved in business ventures and for what ever reason I have not followed through on many of them. I failed because I never really gave it a proper chance. I didn’t create a plan and if I did then I didn’t follow through with the plan. So for me it’s time to do something about it and think or talk a little bit less about it

Here’s what I plan to do. I am creating a group of like minded people Interested in one or more of the following: Health & Fitness, Food & Diet, Healthy Aging and yes, Improving your current financial situation. I am strictly looking for people that want to make real positive changes in their lives. There will be a heavy focus on Isagenix products within this group as I feel Isagenix offers fantastic solutions to all of the pre-mentioned points of interest this group will be offering and the Isagenix business is the financial endeavor that I am focusing on. If you want to be involved in this group and have different business endeavors that’s OK just be sure to respect that this group will be focussing on Isagenix products and do not use this group to promote your business venture. Much of the information will be universal for any business and of course many people in this group will be here for Health and Fitness support, perhaps they are happy with their current financial situations. If you are also interest in Isagenix products to aid in your Health and Fitness and or create a financial income stream then by tapping into this group you will have a support community behind you along with my personal assistance in helping you succeed.

All right, so who wants to join me and actually do something about it? Not just talk about getting in shape or eating better or making more money… If this is you then let me know over on my Facebook Page and I will add you to the Team GetFitOver40 Facebook Group where we are going to be focussing on these topics.

Tap & Go Squats at Fit4Less 360 VR Video

My plan when I bought my Samsung Gear 360 VR video camera was to be able to record some of my exercises I do at the gym when I workout. The great thing about a 360 degree VR video camera is that you don't need to worry so much about where you point it since it gets everything and allows the viewer to decide what they want to look at...

During my leg workout at Fit4Less I recorded my "Tap & Go" Back Squats getting up to 3 working sets of 315x5 reps. I had more in me but felt like being a bit conservative since the setup was not my normal one that I like to use when I am at Fitness World.
