YIPEE! I landed my first cover…

Patrick — Tue, 09 Aug 2011 19:17:14 +0000

OK before you read any further I have to say this is the exact email subject line I got from Vince the other day. “Yippee! I Landed My First Cover With My Beautiful Wife So We're Celebrating..." Read the Vince's Story http://empowerednutrition.com/yipee-i-landed-my-first-cover/ Pretty cool as I can relate to the energy and excitement of landing your first cover. I still reminisce about landing my first calendar cover [Men at Work]. It was a bit cheesey but cool none the less. So I am stepping out and asking you to JOIN me in a simple "CONGRATS" to Vince and Flavia Delmonte for landing BOTH their first covers. I am so proud of them both and it means more to me, knowing that on that cover stand two of my friends and all around great people. Give Vince and Flavia a little love, just "LIKE" this post or take that next step and comment below. Here is the cover that should be hitting the magazine racks anytime now. ==> http://empowerednutrition.com/yipee-i-landed-my-first-cover/

Cinco de Mayo Vegan Style

Patrick — Thu, 05 May 2011 13:54:33 +0000

Many folks confuse Cinco de Mayo with Mexican Independence Day, but these are two different holidays. Cinco de Mayo celebrates a small Mexican army defeating the French in Puebla against all odds. Folks in Puebla still celebrate Cinco de Mayo, but Cinco de Mayo celebrations are actually more widespread in the U.S. than they are in most of Mexico. http://empowerednutrition.com/cinco-de-mayo-vegan-style Most Cinco de Mayo menus I’ve run across are pretty heavy on the meat, cheese, and sour cream, but you can absolutely make your Cinco de Mayo meal cruelty free. If you’re throwing a Cinco de Mayo shindig of your own, here are some tasty, vegan recipes to help get your menu planning in order! Read the rest and get the recipes ==> http://empowerednutrition.com/cinco-de-mayo-vegan-style I want to know how you celebrate Cinco de Mayo and if you got a great recipe to share please add the comment below using facebook comments or wordpress comments.

Patrick — Mon, 27 Dec 2010 15:42:28 +0000

NEW Project... Beat the Sweet-Tooth Today is a perfect day to get started on my next personal project, how about you? What is my personal project? Cut out the sweets and unnecessary calories. You can do it too. Find out how >> http://empowerednutrition.com/new-project-beat-the-sweet-tooth Why is today a perfect day to get started? Simply because the holiday treats and eats are wreaking serious havoc on my body. I have constant heart burn, feel sluggish and a constant foggy haze over my brain. So this will kick off my personal journey to clean up my sweets and treats. The side effects could lead to detoxification, clarity, mental alertness, fat loss, less water retention, increased energy and overall well being. The number one thing to do is get back to drinking plenty of water. This will help reduce cravings, snacking and help detox the body. Discover my next few strategies and see the video from celebrity trainer Kim Lyons >> http://empowerednutrition.com/new-project-beat-the-sweet-tooth Be energized, transformed, empowered!

Twinkie Diet REVIEW

Patrick — Fri, 19 Nov 2010 18:42:22 +0000

Twinkie Diet Review http://empowerednutrition.com/twinkie-diet-review CNN recently exposed the world to the exploits of a college professor [Mark haub], a nutrition professor, nonetheless, who lost 27 pounds through his so-called “Twinkie Diet”. For 10 weeks Mark Haub limited himself to 1,800 calories a day by eating a Twinkie (or sugary cereals, Oreos, Doritos, or Little Debbie snacks) every three hours, instead of meals. Read the entire review on the blog. And ask yourself... “Was it the Calorie Cutting, the Twinkies or the Protein that was responsible for Mark Haub’s Twinkie Diet success?” Let me know your thoughts.

DNA and the Perfect Body

Patrick — Mon, 27 Sep 2010 17:18:03 +0000

DNA and the Perfect Body. Today is a great day, a bit cold in Canada, but I have to say it is a great day. The only thing that sucks about today and this past weekend is that I was supposed to be in Las Vegas for a Mastermind gathering for a few days including a visit to the Mr. Olympia with our group. Really wish I was there, but this project that is coming to fruition is years and years, decades even centuries of research is just now about to become public knowledge and is going to shake the entire weight loss, diet and fitness industry. Since I am an integral part of the research and nutrition team I had to make a very expensive choice and miss seeing some of the biggest built bodybuilders on the planet and hang out with my fitness buds in Vegas. Hey I don’t know if you noticed but I said “the biggest built bodies on the planet” not the BEST built bodies on the planet. Why would I specifically choose to say BIGGEST and not BEST like all the other hype artists out there? Discover Why I Said BEGGEST and NOT the BEST Bodies... http://empowerednutrition.com/DNA-and-the-perfect-body The answer is simple. Although I love the big bulging muscles and am still a bodybuilding competitor at heart, I feel that not all of these bodies are in perfect ratios and proportion to the rest of their bodies. This leaves the “athlete” at a less than perfect ratio, certainly NOT the perfect body. Take a moment, watch the video of Jay Cutler 2010 Mr. Olympia (below) and see what I mean. He has a great build, a great body and super lean no fat physique, but is it perfect? Are the ratios lending to each other, making each one look better and better? Do you think his DNA allowed him to get that big or did his DNA make him that big? Check out that Video in awe or disgust, you be the judge and drop me a comment below with your opinion. Watch a video of what some call the “BEST” body in the business... http://empowerednutrition.com/DNA-and-the-perfect-body 2010 Mr. Olympia - Jay Cutler Video So like Gatorade says... “is it in you?” Do you have the DNA and the perfect Golden Ratio? Are you willing to take up the challenge and finally learn and get YOUR perfect body? October, the Golden Harvest Month is the month to finally achieve your Golden Ratio. For me I had to pass on the Olympia and hanging with my buds in Vegas (totally sucks) to give you the power of your DNA and the Golden Ratio. It might be a bit confusing at times, but bear with me, get past the geek talk and I will make it simple enough for you to absorb the information giving you what I consider to be an unbelievably enlightening and powerful bit of knowledge that will help you harvest your golden ratio. Read it all and watch the video http://empowerednutrition.com/dna-and-the-perfect-body

Is Your DNA Making You Fat?

Patrick — Fri, 24 Sep 2010 19:14:17 +0000

OK so I have to let you know, but I am sure you can already tell, we are working on a new blog theme. Hope you like it so far, but we had an internal debate about blue or green headers. Which would you choose? Blue or Green (drop a comment and let me know). Alright this is nuts, I haven't even had one minute to create a new post. I have been locked up in some labs with a bunch of white coats and brain Olympics champions (I am not kidding about that) for days on end. We are working on a project that is going to revolutionize the way we think about food, fat loss and muscle building. I can't say much but I can tell you this. ITS AMAZING! I recently learned some amazing things about the human body and I quite frankly (who's frank?) know a lot. But my eyeballs were opened and my brain was expanded this last week in the labs. Here are a few bits of information I learned.

Taking Control

Patrick — Sat, 31 Jul 2010 12:44:04 +0000

There is nothing greater than being in control of your own destiny. There is no better way to do this than taking control of your energy, your emotions, your physical appearance and your abilities. Looking and feeling great is the most incredible experience one can have and it can only be enhanced by celebrating your success with a vacation retreat on a pristine, white sand beach with soft glowing blue waters, and subtle white tops cresting the tide as you walk in the surf and peel off your shirt for the first time in what seems like an eternity to reveal the newly etched details upon your flawless abdominals and body. Being able to take control of your destiny is something millions of people are attempting to do right now at this very moment. The world over people are working harder and longer than ever before in an effort to take control of their lives financially as their health, fitness and mental vitality painfully spiral out of control. One of the best things you can do that truly will put you in control of your life is to take control of both health in mind and body. While many are gaining unimaginable amounts of weight and losing control of their health sitting in office chairs in front of computer screens for hours on end, there is an elite few that are doing the exact opposite by taking control of their health and destiny eating well, being active and going on multiple vacations every year away from computer screens while enjoying beaches, sun and surf. Read the full article Click This Link: http://empowerednutrition.com/taking-control/ The great thing is this can be you too. You can take control of your future and be the master of your own destiny in this unstable economic time by taking control of yourself. It is without a doubt (and some pretty compelling empirical data) that fit bodied professionals are paid better, receive promotions sooner, work less and perform better than their sedentary plump partners. They also command nonverbal respect in and out of the boardroom... ... It has been reported that a 30-60 minute workout first thing in the morning provides a mental and physical focus that allows an individual to complete 9 hours work in 8 hours or less, thus providing more time to enjoy more vacation time. One of these elite few is none other than Patrick McGuire, President Empowered Nutrition Products Inc, a professional nutrition and fitness expert with a focus on living life to the fullest and providing powerful proven results and ultimate transformation rewards...

Happy Can-Am Weekend!

Patrick — Mon, 05 Jul 2010 19:40:31 +0000

I hope you enjoyed the weekend. As a Canadian who carries his Irish passport and his American green card I take the liberty to thoroughly enjoy every festive holiday I can. This weekend was no exception as we are enjoying July 1st Canada day and July 4, Independence Day in the US. It’s truly great as my mom and step father are up from Naples Florida and they joined me, my wife and 3 kids at the Canada Day fireworks display at Spencer Smith Park in Burlington ON. But Not before I got some park time with the kids and my wife. After the park we did lunch, and then I hit a killer ride in Kelso, where I met two other riders that were out for some fun as well. Then we had a nice family dinner, kept the kids up late and went to the fireworks, it was a great day. I captured most of the day on my Hero Cam for you. To celebrate Independence Day on July 4, we had a great big BBQ at my mom’s apartment (albeit here in Burlington ON) and ate a lot of whole beef hotdogs and sliders. (For anyone who does not know what a slider is, think mini hamburgers or just go to White Castle and order a sleeve). It was great; we swam, played and ate. Starting with veggies and lots of water; going heavy on the veggies first prepped us for all the other food to come. Of course after all the veggies, and eating more than my share of meat, I washed it down with a pop and chased it with a cappuccino ice cream drumstick. I got a lot of this day on video too, including... YUP! Another mountain bike ride at Kelso. Well, I hope you enjoyed your Can Am Weekend as much as I did and I hope you let loose on a day or two having your cheat, treat and reward meals. If for any reason you feel you over did it and are feeling guilty, then there is a quick easy fix to get you back on track with your calorie plan. You can always include a STOP day this week. I am having a STOP day today. Seriously I am STOPPING all food consumption for 24 hours. Just liquids with ZERO calories, starting with an ice cold glass of water with lemon juice followed by black coffee lots of water, green tea (hot and cold) and more water and black coffee. BEFORE you scream at me, you better do some research on the subject like I have. Stopping is NOT Starving. You WONT lose muscle. You will NOT be lethargic and tired. You will NOT feel empty and starve. In fact the opposite of all those will occur. You WILL be more focused. You WILL get more done. You WILL burn more body fat today and you WILL keep all the muscle mass you started the STOP day with. Just as my friend Brad Pilon, he wrote the book on Intermittent Fasting and called it Eat STOP Eat. I am going on a STOP for 24 hours from dinner to dinner as I choose that to eat the main meal with my family as it could be difficult to explain to 6 and 4 year old girls why daddy is not eating dinner with them. So if you have not yet enjoyed a good cheat, treat and reward meal for a job well done this past week, or celebrated the Canadian and American Holidays, then today is the day to do that. Have a HUGE BBQ dinner tonight, have a glass of wine or a pop and have that ice cream treat when you are done. Trust me your body will thank you for it, especially after a week of staying focused on your nutrition game plan. If you already did over indulge, then get back on your Empowered Nutrition Meal Plans and consider adding a STOP day to your schedule and surprise yourself just how easy it is and how much work you get done today.

3 Minute Dip Challenge

Patrick — Mon, 07 Jun 2010 20:27:27 +0000

Part 4 of 4 in our 3 Minute Challenge... 3 Minute Dip Challenge This is not an easy task by any means since you will be using a very small muscle group to move your body through space. Another factor that is going to limit the consistency of the results is how you perform the exercise. To make this equally fair for all we will be using a chair dip or bench dip. To execute this one, you need to have your arms behind you on one chair and your feet either on another chair or on the ground simply as pivot points not to be used for pushing and cheating. This falls into both the muscle ENDURANCE and POWER challenges, since you will be using a small muscle to move your weight you need power to even get started and since it is such a small group exhaustion will come quickly and you will need muscle endurance for your triceps to keep going rep after rep for 3 minutes. You will also be working your core stabilization, some front delts and even traps during this exercise. Here are the requirements for this dip challenge: 1 or 2 chairs Timer – here’s one for you http://e.ggtimer.com/3-minutes State Your Name, Weight and Total Reps Will power and muscle endurance INCENTIVE: To challenge yourself Set a new standard for you to beat each month Video this and post it on YouTube for all to see Tag and link EmpoweredNutrition.com and add your link to the comments on this post (this helps build your YouTube traffic as well) 1 Night Hotel Stay - Do the Video version of your challenge and let us know and I will send you 1 Night Free Hotel Stay on me just for entering. Come on its going to be fun, motivate you to beat yourself and others and I will give you a prize just for entering a free contest. I look forward to seeing your results. Even if you don’t do the whole video thing, post your results as a comment on the blog post and we will be sure to add you to our long list of Empowered Achievers. Here is the list of 3 Minute Challenges for you... Challenge #1 – Push Ups Challenge #2 – Chin Ups Challenge #3 – Squats Challenge #4 – Dips For ideal results and the ability to track your results from all your nutrition and training you should set up a standard set of tests for yourself to see where you are today and where you are going and to make sure you are on track on the way. After all you can’t drive to Disney without a road map, a game plan and some check points on the way. JOIN the 3 Minute Dip Challenge FREE and Get 1 Night Hotel Stay www.EmpoweredNutrition.com

3 Minute Squat Challenge

Patrick — Fri, 04 Jun 2010 19:39:30 +0000

Today is the big day in our 4 part series of bodyweight challenges... 3 Minute Squat Challenge OK this one is probably going to feel a bit different than the other two. Push Ups for Chest (front delts, triceps and core stabilization) was pretty tough, but more of a muscle ENDURANCE event Chin Ups for back (rear delts and biceps) required more POWER than push ups and was probably the toughest of the three to complete even half the reps of Push Ups Squats for Quads, Hamstrings, even calves (lower back and core stabilization) will be more of a SPEED STRENGTH challenge. So far in Challenge #3 of 4 we have covered 3 different exercises and 3 different training techniques for 3 totally different outcomes even though we are limited to our bodyweight and our time (3 minutes). The other constant is we are always moving our bodies thru space, rather than moving weights through space which is pound for pound always easier than moving the same bodyweight through space. It’s weird but true. Think about this. You can do a Bench Press with say a max weight of 315 pounds. Now if you were 315 pounds do you think you could do the same amount of reps with your feet on a bench for push ups? It’s doubtful. Even if you can, you aren’t really moving a true 315 pounds of bodyweight through space, you are moving a portion of your total bodyweight... and it’s tough. So today’s 3 minute challenge is going to be really, really tough. You will need to have muscle ENDURANCE as you will no doubt be able to complete a fairly high amount of repetitions, but need to keep strict form. You need to combine POWER since you are moving your entire bodyweight through space up and down repeatedly. You need to have SPEED to set a pace that you can control for as long as you can to complete 3 minutes of body weight squats and yet to be the champion, to be your best you will need to move quickly and if you are a bigger guy or girl you will be challenged to keep that pace and strength going for the full three minutes. I am certain that you will complete so many reps in one set that you will start to creep into the lactic acid threshold very quickly. So here we go. I wish you the best of luck and the most reps to you. Everyone challenging themselves in this squat challenge that posts a video of their challenge and tagging or linking back to EmpoweredNutrition.com will receive a Hotel Night Stay on me. Good to use anytime within 1 year. How to Enter the Challenge: Set a timer for 3 minutes. Here’s one ready to go for 3 minutes for you http://e.ggtimer.com/3-minutes Set up your video camera, flip cam, phone or laptop camera to start recording Assume the position. In this case, the Squat position. Start the camera, start the timer and start the reps. In your video please share your name, weight and the number of reps you completed. Post a comment on this blog post and link to your video to build your YouTube traffic and I will send you 1 Night Hotel Stay just for tagging EmpoweredNutrition.com in your video. That’s it. 3 minutes of Squats. 1 minute to add a tag and a link to EmpoweredNutrition.com to your video. 1 minute to load your video to YouTube.com. 30 seconds to add a comment with your video link on this post. A total of 5-6 minutes and you get a FREE 1 Night Hotel Stay compliments of EmpoweredNutrition.com and me (Patrick McGuire) I look forward to seeing your results. Even if you don’t do the whole video thing, post your results as a comment on the blog post and we will be sure to add you to our long list of Empowered Achievers. Here is the list of 3 Minute Challenges for you... Challenge #1 – Push Ups Challenge #2 – Chin Ups Challenge #3 – Squats Challenge #4 – Dips For ideal results and the ability to track your results from all your nutrition and training you should set up a standard set of tests for yourself to see where you are today and where you are going and to make sure you are on track on the way.

3 Minute Chin Up Challenge

Patrick — Wed, 02 Jun 2010 19:40:28 +0000

This is part 2 of our 4 part series in the Empowered 3 minute challenge series. Todays challenge is the... 3 Minute Chin Up Challenge OK so before I say anything this is tough. A lot tougher than yesterdays 3 Minute Push Up Challenge. Check out some of the success stories for the 3 Minute Push Up Challenge CLICK HERE. Alright so you probably already know the protocol. Just in case here's the recap of the challenge details. Get a timer. Any timer, use your phone, egg timer or even try this online timer I set up for you, but before you click that link be ready to start, the timer starts as soon as you hit that page (you can always hit "refresh" to reset it). Here it is for you >> http://e.ggtimer.com/3minutes Be prepared in advance. Here's what you need: A bar, steel gurter or even a park play ground to do chin ups a strong mind a stronger will grip strength of steel and a fear of failure... believe me you will fail, this is next to one of the most impossible tasks I have ever attempted I suggest having a towel handy to wipe the sweat from your hands so you don't slip and hurt yourself. The Techniques You have 2 techniques to choose from, both with mid grip width. The two styles are Overhand and Underhand grips. You need to pick on and use that technique each time you test yourself... oh and be sure to let us know which grip you used in the blog comments and your videos. I like overhand shoulder width as it truly taxes the back and is a strong position for this test. However for maximum stretch, power, strength and endurance the slightly narrower than shoulder width underhand grip will allow you to use more biceps, but be careful in this test they could burn out and be your weakest link. OK its GO-time! Read the rest and find out what today's prize is... Let me know how you do with this one. Add it to your training notes and compare this test again in the near future, say ever 30 - 60 days, or whenever you feel like it. Here's some more images to help you visualize a wide chin up in case that is the method you choose to test yourself with wide grip chins. Again anyone who videos this one and either sends it to me for validation or post the video results to YouTube.com and tags or links EmpoweredNutrition.com will receive a 1 night hotel stay at one of thousands of 4 and 5 star hotels to choose from.

315,532,800 Celebration

Patrick — Thu, 20 May 2010 16:39:58 +0000

315,532,800 Happy Anniversary to My Amazing and Beautiful Wife Terri! So why 315,532,800... well that is precisely the time we have been married in seconds. It could very well be the same number of pounds of fat I have helped people lose... I guess we need to start that tally now too. (I have a special gift for you too... click the link at the end of this post). Here is a weird way to tally how long I have been married and all during the process I have struggled with weight gain, weight loss, muscle gain, muscle loss, the urge to train, bulk up, mountainbike, resume MMA training and even from time to time think longingly for the days back in the royal Canadian Military. But I wouldn't trade what I have today with Terri and our 3 amazing kids for any of that silly boy stuff... Well sort of... I am back to training, but don't plan on competing in any body building events. I am flipping tires and doign strong man things, but won't compete again. I do like to toss the football and skate but won't go semi pro again.. not that I would even make the first round of cuts. I am mountain biking once again and it feels great... entering into a race series starting next Tuesday. So I am getting some old habits (only the good and healthy ones), but for the greater good of my personal well being and that of my family. When I train I am a better person. I feel better, look better and think better. I have a better eating habit and supplement more regularly with my multi vitamins and proteins... which by the way enhances your mental outlook and your internals and hormone profiles as well as functions. I encourage you today to consider doing at least 20 minutes of intense activity 3-5 even 7 days a week. I walk 20-30 minutes after I take the kids to the school bus in the morning and train or mountain bike 5 days a week. Its only been a few weeks and I feel great. So here's a bunch of dumb numbers to say its 10 years later and I am still married and love my wife and kids more today than I did 10 years ago (my oldest is only 6). Check it out... crazy numbers... The total number of days between Saturday, May 20th, 2000 and Thursday, May 20th, 2010 is 3,652 days. This is equal to exactly 9 years and 12 months. This does not include the end date (today), so it's accurate if you're measuring in days, or the total days between the start and end date. But if you want the duration of an event that includes both the starting date and the ending date, then it would actually be 3,653 days. The total time span from 2000-05-20 to 2010-05-20 is 87,648 hours. This is equivalent to 5,258,880 minutes. You can also convert 3,652 days to 315,532,800 seconds. May 20th, 2000 was a Saturday. It is the 141st day of the year, and in the 20th week of the year (assuming each week starts on a Monday), or the 2nd quarter of the year. There are 31 days in this month. 2000 is a leap year, so there are 366 days in this year. The short form for this date used in the United States is 5/20/2000. May 20th, 2010 is a Thursday. It is the 140th day of the year, and in the 20th week of the year (assuming each week starts on a Monday), or the 2nd quarter of the year. There are 31 days in this month. 2010 is not a leap year, so there are 365 days in this year. The short form for this date used in the United States is 5/20/2010. Yeah and just to be 100% truthful I am not smart enough or make that way to smart to do all those calculations myself. I used this handy tool >> http://www.convertunits.com/dates/from/May+20,+2000/to/May+20,+2010 Well I have to say I am more than excited for this day. I am pretty busy, but I will shut things down later today and do something with my wife and kids, then just my amazing wife (Terri). Today is the day that celebrates 10 years since we have been married... and to my amazement she still loves me... I hope its more or at least the same as back in the day, after all much has changed, especially me, our lifestyle and the number of people in the house (+3 kids). WOW! To celebrate I am having a 3 day sale. Starting at noon (12pm) today until noon (12pm) on Sunday I will be almost giving away the Done-For-You Fast Fat Loss System for half its normal price. If you are looking to lose fat fast, then today you can celebrate with me and lose some fat real fast.

Empowered 3 Minute Challenge

Patrick — Tue, 18 May 2010 06:40:19 +0000

Patrick How Can I Be 100% Positive My Nutrition Program Is Working? CHALLENGE YOURSELF! That is a great question. I get asked that a lot. Now most of the time with any of our Empowered Nutrition Meal Plans and especially our Personalized Nutrition Programs it is very obvious and easily identified. But how do you know the program is working for performance. Well that is as easy as taking your measurements and comparing them to the last set of measurements. Lately I have been on a bit of a journey myself. You see I started back in the day wanting to be a competitive body builder. Problem was I was skinny. Great for non contact hockey, but eventually things got rough and I had to bulk up and still keep my skills on the ice. Well I played at a high level of hockey and football, went thru the military and honestly breezed thru the QL bootcamps and became a competitive body builder. All that was great and I literally set goals and accomplished them every season. Now fast forward many years, 3 kids an awesome wifem a crazy busy business and lots of desk jockey time and I need to refocus, energize and motivate myself to get back at it and get in great physical performance conditioning. So what motivates me to get back at it today? These days its not just setting big goals, but its the little goals that are really making a difference in my comeback. Its hard enough to find time to exercise these days. The thing I found is working for me is to CHALLENGE myself to workout 1, 2, 3 even 4, 5 and 6 days a week. I’m not doing too badly. I’m up to a consistent 3 sessions a week. That’s pretty good considering March 1 2010 I was getting in 1 workout a week on a good week. Now here is a little challenge I am enjoying these days. I like to test myself each and every workout. Literally I put together some exercises I want to see if I can do it and just go out and attack it. I am not really into counting reps anymore or just yet again, so I am using my iPhone to time various challenges. Here’s one that is real easy to implement and will be a real fast tell tale if your nutrition and training program is working for you. I want you to take the test and report back to me in a comment below. The Empowered 3 Minute Challenge Set your timer to chime every 3 minutes Do each exercise to failure, rest and go at it for 3 minutes total until the timer rings Do a light warm up. I like a 3 minute run / walk program 1 minute run, 1 minute walk, 1 minute run, 1 minute walk, 1 minute run, 1 minute walk... total warm up 6 minutes and you should be ready to do a light stretch, but not too much, you do not want to burn any extra glycogen since you want to test yourself to a time failure with this Empowered 3 Minute Challenge. Exercise #1 (3 minutes) – Bodyweight Squats Rest 1 Minute Exercise #2 (3 minutes) - Push Ups Rest 1 Minute Exercise #3 (3 minutes) – Chin Ups That’s it. Just hit 12-15 minutes of activity and when your done stretch it out and report back to me in the comments below. Wait a month, focus on your nutrition, step up your exercise routine and test yourself again in a month and come on back and drop an update to your comment and let me know how you are doing. Be sure to challenge yourself in everything you do. Goals are only accomplished in a few ways. One is to set goals and crush it. The other is to challenge yourself to do better each and every day. If you are serious about increasing your Empowered 3 Minute Challenge results, then add a Personalized Nutrition Program to your mix.

Look Who’s Half Way to 72

Patrick — Mon, 19 Apr 2010 17:53:04 +0000

OK this is NOT your ordinary blog post from me... I am going to tell you this point blank and center for all our benefit. Today I turned 36 on April 19th, 2010. I am excited as I feel young, not old and I know that as bad as my nutrition is, it is the good nutrition that far outweighs my bad days and keeps me feeling this way. So to celebrate my 36 years young, 3 kids, 1 awesome wife and a great life, I am going to do my best to help you AND help others the one way I know how to do that... I am going to urge you to help me help others. I want you to help me accomplish my goal of providing FOOD and WATER for those in need and make it your goal as well. For example, Haiti is still in desperate need of BOTH Food and Water. They need much more than that, but those two are essential. My friends at the Village of Hope in Oouagadougo are always in need of more food and water, but tehy are now growing thier own food thanks to the water well drilling and installation (I was part of that team) that took place about 7 years ago and are now providing water and food for other neighboring cities and even tribes living in the bushes... yeah I know amazing since I was there when it was all red clay sand and the main factor to lush vegetation was simply WATER.

GSP, UFC, Empowered Nutrition and Israeli Special Forces

Patrick — Mon, 29 Mar 2010 21:07:30 +0000

Today is a great day for fitness, fat loss and fight fans. Well really Saturday was, but I was without internet access all weekend. GSP, UFC, Empowered and TACFIT! I have to say it was a great day as my fellow Canadian Georges St. Pierre won his title defense against Dan Hardy from the UK. Why is it a great day for Empowered Nutrition? Well Georges clearly showed up, bigger, faster, stronger and leaner than ever before, but still made the same weight. This is significant as he made it public that he hired a personal chef to take care of his food prep for 12 weeks leading to the contest. What!?! Israeli Special Forces? No GSP did not get attacked (who in thier right mid would try and mug this guy) but he did incorporate every bit of traning he could to be the most rounded performance athlete in the world and it showed on Saturday night when he won his title defense. I want you to take the same approach as Georges and his fellow UFC athletes and focus on nutrition and incorporate many aspects of training into your fat loss, muscle building and performance programs. I got one way to help you to do exactly that and it is free for another 12 hours, then its gone. Scott Sonnen has given access to Empowered Nutrition Insiders to get a FREE TACFIT Israeli Special Forces Challenge Video and Workout, but at midnight its gone. I personally cannot think of a time when I was in better shape then when I was coming off of a power lifting / body building phase and in the military with the Royal Canadian Armored Corps. I could do it all. I could run, swim, fight and do it for 18 hours a day at full speed. Now that said I was also in the best shape of my life 2 other times... during my years as a hockey player and body building and during my years with the NFC Champion football team as a middle linebacker just after getting ready for a bodybuilding competition. Its all about mixing it up and being able to use ALL the tools you have been given and developing over the years. So I want you to mix it up a bit more by adding this free TACFIT Isreali Special Forces Challenge to your program. Here's how you can mix it up and still stay on track for your primary goals. Get TACFIT Free >> www.GetTACFIT.info I got 2 ways to make TACFIT work for you 1. Train as normal and add a 20 minute TACFIT sequence at the end of your regular training program 2. Train as normal and on your training days add the 20 minute TACFIT program as an active rest day I can tell you this TACFIT is not easy and its ONLY 4 unique moves to get started with that will leave you feeling tired and energized at the same time. Its great and works on total bodyweight movements that include the explosive dynamic actions and short rest training. Best of all TACFIT can be done in your hotel room, office or gym in the space of a large beach towel and will increase your fat loss nutrition program results. I accepted the TACFIT mission and le tme tell you the first day (Friday... TACFIT CRUSHED ME) and I fully intend to send you a message saying I CRUSHED TACFIT real soon. Get TACFIT Workout and Video Today Free >> www.GetTACFIT.info If you choose to accept the mission, report in and see what your team mates are saying and let us know your mission details >> http://EmpoweredNutrition.com/I-Crushed-TACFIT

I CRUSHED TACFIT

Patrick — Thu, 25 Mar 2010 20:13:00 +0000

Hey, I want to have some fun with my friends over at TACFIT. I need your help on this mission. I have personally been pretty lax these days when it comes to actually training. Some of you know I am in the midst of re-writing my own fatness fitness program. Let's just say with 3 kids (all under 6), a growing online and very established offline nutrition business, consulting to many organizations and sitting on several boards of directors all the while over the last 12 years sorting my way in and out and through partners that lack the long term vision and the pain threshold I put myself thru has needless to say wreaked havoc on my body and fitness. Sure I am more fit than most, but reality is I am totally unfit and nowhere near where I want to be, let alone mention it to you... but I am NOT fit, just OK. Why do I tell you all this? I am going to grab the free TACFIT Israeli Special Forces Workout and put it to the test tonight myself. I encourage you to do the same. Your Mission if you choose to accept it: Grab Your FREE TACFIT Video and Workout >> www.GetTACFIT.info Watch the Israeli TACFIT Video and Read the Workout Attack the Israeli Special Forces Workout Tonight and Report Back with a Comment Below. I am going to do the same and report back to you. The mission is mine... Do you accept this Mission to CRUSH the TACFIT Workout? www.GetTACFIT.info before the FREE Video and Workout are gone!

I Got Grilled by Nick Nilsson

Patrick — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 03:08:47 +0000

I Got Grilled By Nick Nilsson! Yeah you read it... I GOT GRILLED! Nick Nilsson, and I have been bashing it back and forth, nutrition versus exercise and its all good. In fact we both agree that they are both integral to a successful fat loss and muscle building program. Nick fully supports the Nutrition side of things. I completely believe that if you are going to train you might as well get the best [Check out Metabolic Surge Program Click Here]. Like me, Nick believes you need to turn to a coach to maximize your results. I mean for example the Olympics recently happened and some of the athletes had as many as 6 coaches... just for one sport... and guess what. Some of them won medals! We had a few glitches at the start (my call dropped) but definitely listen in...we covered a LOT of good stuff. - the ins and outs of how his personalized nutrition programs work and what they can do for you - should you eat first thing in the morning before training - what's the best snack for on-the-go fat loss eating - can specific foods be used to target specific bodyparts? - do you HAVE to eat first thing in the morning in order to lose fat effectively? - is "afterburn" fat-loss real and does it stop if you eat after training? - Get all the info here! Listen to Nick Grill me (Patrick) CLICK the LINK >> http://attendthisevent.com/?eventID=11814357 If you are here to read or listen in to this interview where Nick Nilsson grills me about my Personalized Nutrition Programs and Nutrition Strategies. I suggest that you add a solid workout program to your Empowered Nutrition and if you want to maximize fat burning and muscle building then you should check out Nick's program Metabolic Surge Program >> www.MetabolicSurgeProgram.com
