Dear Health & Fitness Friend,

I was recently talking with a client we call Cathy to protect her privacy.

“I am diabetic and need to lose weight but doesn’t matter what I do, I don’t seem to be able to do lose weight.” Cathy said. “I do everything I am supposed to, what all the experts say.”

 ”I asked my trainer and he said I have reached weight loss plateau. He seemed to be guessing but really didn´t know,” Cathy continued. “I asked my friends and they seem to be in the same boat as I was. Everyone tells me that I am doing the right things, but if I am, why can’t I lose the weight or keep the weight off?”

The sad part is I hear this all the time – Weight loss attempts that are emotionally draining, but simply don´t work.

Millions of people every year spent thousands of dollars or hundreds of hours (or both) getting into one exercise program after another and one diet program after another usually in January to find it doesn´t do much of anything for them by March or April. They find themselves once again stuck, feeling frustrated because it is another year they have failed. They´re not getting the results they wanted (i.e. getting flat abs, trim triceps, getting rid of the double chin or droopy eyes), and no one can really tell them what the problem is.

The worst part of this is that they don’t know what to do.  First off, most fitness experts really know very little about effective mental images, nutrition or metabolic boosting exercises. They repeat the information from unreliable or unethical sources which want to sell you products even if these products make you sick.

One simple example is antioxidants. They are praised for their anti-aging and anti-cancer properties. Who wants to get old or get cancer? No one of course.  So consumers spend millions of dollars to buy anti-oxidants in bottles. However, here is the truth. In 2005, The Journal of the American Medical Association published a report of a study that included close to a quarter of million people (232, 606 to be exact.) The conclusion: “Treatment with beta carotene, vitamin A, and vitamin E may increase mortality.” Translation. Taking these “antioxidants” could cause more death in those who were taking them in comparison to those who did not. How many “magic weight loss pills” ended up in courts because they killed people? I know of too many. 

When you think about it, it makes sense. It is easier and more profitable to sell you “magic pill” products than to take the hard road of educating you. And for many businesses, profits are more important than lives.  It doesn’t help that everyone wants a short cut regardless how often these magic pills have failed them, and how dangerous they can be; consumers continue to  search for the next magic pill.

Then there are the TV infomercial and Internet fitness gurus out there. Sure they have lots of advice (and a lot of it is good advice) on losing weight on the Internet. Unfortunately, their advice is non-specific for personal use and without a comprehensive foundation that addresses your mental, emotional, nutritional and physical needs.   You see; many of those gurus have already made a name for themselves by training clients one-on-one before they took to the Internet o TV to sell their products. Their success rate is dismal in mass markets.  

I know of a product that has about 500 success stories out of over 3,000,000 sold. They put the disclaimer that, “results like these are not typical.” However, they don’t  tell you 500 success stories in 3,000,000 mean that only one out of every 6,000 people who purchase these products are successful.  The reason for this low success rate is that personal instructions cannot be transferred over the DVD or the Internet effectively, and when you hit road bumps, there is no one to help you get over it.  So you are once again left alone to deal with your challenges.

And even in personal one-on-one training most fitness instructors don´t go deep enough. They don´t give you a basic foundation of who you really are  from spiritual point of view as well as genetic physical point of view.  And without that knowledge, it´s very difficult to create a fitness program that gives you long-term results.

And that´s why I decided to start X5 Fitness Camp as a Holistic Approach To Fitness & Weight Loss!

Then, X5 Fitness Camp  is exactly what you´ve been looking for. However,  if you are looking for quick fixes that have failed you before, then this is not for you.

 

But first, why should you listen to me?

I have been training people since 1976. Thirty-six years has passed and the picture you see is me a couple of years ago at age 52.  I have seen the failed promises of the latest “new gadget” and “latest new magic pill” so many times that it is now sad.  And I have seen little improvement in the poor state of health most people are in. Back in 1976 there weren’t any personal trainers. There were athletes in various fields who trained others usually in their own field. They were coaches.

Fitness and exercise have always been a part of my life. It  started with a pair of dumbbells and moved into a higher level when I entered my Tae Kwon Do training. By the time I received my second degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do,  I had trained in many sports from bodybuilding to wrestling, I had experienced benefits and drawbacks of various styles of training. I have all the injuries that come with trial and error and poor information and coaching. 

I am embarrassed to think how little I knew and how arrogant I was about the little I knew.

The world of health and fitness is huge,  and no one can ever know all the intricacies of the human physical body let alone emotional, mental and spiritual part of him.  I made a promise to myself never to allow arrogance to get in the way of my learning and to keep an open mind to new innovations and changes.  However,  my degree in biological sciences and a lifetime in personal research require a detailed scrutiny of what is actually new, factual and effective and what is just hype and marketing propaganda.

Selling products requires less effort and  is more profitable than providing a service. So most people want to sell products.  I know that scientific data can be manipulated but more importantly the interpretation of the data could and usually is biased toward selling you products.

Through years of experience and research,  I know that most of the exercise programs and diets are “consumer driven” and designed to sell you  “magic pills.” These diets can be backed with faulty science and biased interpretation paid for by large industries. If you ever find a high prized body transformation contest that is not sponsored by a vitamin company let me know. 

The basic marketing concept behind multi-billion dollar industries wants to relieve you of your responsibilities as a consumer. And you ultimately suffer or benefit from your own actions. Many in business tell you if you buy their “magic pill” you would no longer have to worry about changing your lifestyle. Not a day goes by that you don’t see dozens of commercial on TV selling fitness and weight loss products.

 What is the result of these magic pills?

✓ According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention adults suffer – 2 in 3 (68.3 %) adults are either obese or overweight. Now children are suffering – 1 in 5 (19.6%) children age 6-11 are obese, 1 in 10 (10.4%) children age 2-5 are obese.

✓ American Cancer Society tells us that men in US have a 47% chance of getting cancer and women have a 38% chance. That is 1 in every 2 men and 2 in 5 women you know can have a fight with cancer.

✓ American Diabetes Association tells us that 1 in 10 (11.3% ) of adults between 20 and 65 and 1 in 4 (26.9% ) of adults over the age of 65 have diabetes. The real scary part is that over 79 million people are pre-diabetic and over 7,000,000 don’t even know that they have diabetes.

✓ According to National Institutes of Health 81,000,000 Americans suffer from heart disease.  And heart disease remains the one killer in US.

How many people do you know including yourself who suffer from obesity, heart disease, cancer or diabetes?

I know you expected a rosy picture on the first page of my website to make you feel warm and fuzzy and get you in the mood to buy. It would be easy to tell you how a few simple and quick adjustments could help you lose weight and get fit. The truth is far different from that,  and I value truth.

The verifiable truth which most people are not ready to hear is this.

We as Americans should be in much better health if all these exercise programs and diets on the market were effective.  We should be happier, more relaxed and healthier. The facts show that we are not even close to any of these ideals.  We keep spending more and more money on our health and fitness, and we have less and less to show for it.

Are you ready to make a positive, meaningful long-lasting change?

Only a few of you are ready.

Sadly most people will continue their quest for magic pills and short cuts. I started X5 fitness camp for those few.  In fact, the beginning of X5 was in response to the needs of a few friends who wanted access to the information I had,  but they wanted it in a group setting to enjoy each other’s company.  They wanted me to organize and streamline the facts in a way they could understand and use. They wanted the tools to become healthy, happy and fit.

One of these friends is Anousheh. The owner of Ignis Salon. Her picture is below and later I take you through her body transformation story.

 

I taught Anousheh that weight loss is a by-product of a healthy self-image, healthy emotional balance, healthy nutrition and a vibrant body.  Weight loss should never be a goal,  and we should never reduce our whole identity to what the scale and mirrors show us.  Most of your weight loss activities are not physical. Your thought patterns and your emotional responses influence your activities and the results you experience. Large industries are spending millions of dollars to study your behavior, to influence your thought patterns and emotions to make you dependent on their products, and you are paying the price by being unhappy, sick, and overweight.

As I said, I didn’t come across my expertise overnight. It took me over 30 years. There were a lot of trial and error. I learned the hard way what actually worked and what was junk (and in the process wasting thousands of hours and thousands of dollars in education, in equipment trials, nutrition trials, seminars, etc.) Until eventually I put together the five X5 principles that consistently brought me results. The things I could do at age 54 are beyond what most people can do at age 20.

That´s not the best part. The best part is that I was able take this knowledge and experience and help my get my clients get healthy. So not only have I seen these techniques work for myself, but I´ve also witnessed them working for my clients!  You can see the results on this web page.

In my personal training and consulting business, I put together a whole system to walk my clients through what´s going wrong with their fitness and weight-loss goals and how they could fix it.

However, I quickly discovered I couldn´t help everyone. First off, not everyone can afford my personal training fees.  Second, even if everyone COULD afford to pay my fees, there just simply isn´t enough time in the day for me to work with everyone who needs help on a personal basis. Third, not everyone is ready for a comprehensive fitness plan. Most people would prefer a quick fix regardless of how often the quick fixes have failed them.

The X5 steps I teach are fundamental transformation techniques – they work if you´re a stay at home mom, or a busy executive,  if you have never worked out,  or you have worked out every day of your life,  if you have the genes for it or you don’t think you have the genes for it, if you have failed at everything before, or if you have limited mobility due to injuries. JUST AS LONG AS YOU WORK TO KNOW YOURSELF AND LET THE BODY TRANSFORMATION OCCUR FROM AWARENESS.  If you´re not interested in a holistic approach, then this isn´t for you.

 

Finally, a step by step fitness program to walk you through why you struggle with fitness and weight loss and what you can do about it.

First off, I introduce to you the simple but amazingly effective X5 principles. They aren’t what you expect since they are not about diet or exercise. I know you have tried all kinds of diets and exercise before.

These principles help you look within yourself for solutions and let these solutions guide you in your fitness and weight-loss efforts. To recognize the power that sits dormant within you. You need this inner strength to make challenging lifestyle changes, to succeed where most people fail.

 Jennifer, one of my clients who has overcome so many challenges, wrote the following:

 “”I have been working out with Vishy at X5 for four months now, and it is the best thing I have ever done for myself. He is extremely professional, skilled and knowledgeable. He takes a personal interest in the goals and dreams of every participant in the camp. He continually helps me to set new goals and to achieve them.  - Jennifer S.

A few months later she wrote, “ I am also aware that photographic images of me are not ME, and the flesh and bones also are not ME. I am separate from these and have been ME all along no matter what I look like or how I grow, shrink, or deteriorate. From the time before I was even born and even after I leave this world I am just ME – always have been and will be forever. The real ME is the one who lives and loves and does my best.”

Let me take you through a journey of transformation with Anousheh and the first of X5 principles, which is awareness.

 

 

Awareness – First X5 Principle

Recognizing self-made barriers and taking steps in removing them is part of expansion of awareness. Fear, guilt, self-doubt, inaccurate nutrition information and ineffective exercise programs are just few of these self-made barriers. And there is a way for you to remove them. This way is unique to you, and you need to take active steps to find it. Removing self-made barriers are never easy. However the rewards are beyond description.

  

Mistaken beliefs along with limited and often negative self-image hold you back and keep many of your amazing abilities hidden and dormant. Expansion of awareness helps you replace fear, impatience, agitation and low self-esteem with love, compassion, calmness and confidence.

Expansion of awareness helps you replace addictive, disease-causing and fattening foods with satisfying, health-promoting nutrition plans. You come to understand that food is hardwired into your genetic code, and many economic and political forces take advantage of this and influence your decision-making.

  

Expansion of awareness helps you replace in-effective, time-consuming and imbalanced exercises with effective, efficient and balanced exercises. You’ll begin to understand the difference between exercises that work for an hour and exercises that boost your metabolism for days and weeks.

 

Expansion of awareness allows you to recognize how past experiences fix your attention on the same event and force you to repeat it in your mind. This mental repetition enforces a self-image in your mind of your identity, and your capabilities based on the events you run in your head.

Your behavior and your body composition reflect your self-image. External activities such as diet and exercise without expansion in your awareness will take you only so far before you snap back to your long-established self-image.

Your experiences are reflections of your degree of awareness.

Yesterday, at the camp, Jennifer teased Anousheh by asking her, “Where is the rest of you? Do you even remember how it was?” Anousheh responded, “Honestly; I don’t remember, my clients no longer remember and thank God; my husband doesn’t even remember.”

When you no longer even remember about your struggles with weight loss, you are at a new state and never again have to worry about weight loss.

X5 fitness camp participation includes on camp and off camp training.  The on camp training begins with an orientation and movement analysis session to go over the basic movement analysis exercises. These are the exercises to help you find any muscle imbalances you may have and become aware of how to fix them. Each exercise shows you specific weakness in left and right part of your body and any instability in core, shoulders, knees or lower back. In fact, in 30 minutes, you’ll  EXACTLY where the problems (or problems) are with your  body and  what you need to do to start burning calories and getting rid of fat.

Here´s a sampling of what else you´ll get at the camp and off the camp:

✴ The biggest mistake people make when trying to achieve goals (don´t understand this, and you would fail more often than you succeed).

✴ The common myth  people follow when trying to burn belly fat (follow this, and you could be struggling with fat loss and hurt your lower back too).

✴ The one thing you should do before you do ANYTHING else with your goals (in fact, without this, you can´t even start a decent fitness plan or strategy for yourself).

✴ Is your nutrition plan making you sick? You´ll discover the secrets of the difference between being thin and sick and fit and healthy.

✴ The one element on your diet that you need to have right – this is the element is number one contributing factor to your weight gain, water retention, allergies and worse. Keep having this in your diet and chances of fat loss is reduced drastically. Remove this from your diet and your weight comes off fast.

✴ One simple exercise strategy that will be the difference from you just struggling with your aerobic capacity and weight loss to having the heart of an athlete.

✴ Weight-loss plan plateaued or not working? If you´re like the vast majority of those struggling with weight loss, you´ve probably made (or our considering making) this VERY costly mistake.

✴ An easy and effective way to relax (so that the stress and fat hormones don’t kick in.)

 

 

The X5 Fitness Camp isn´t about theory or advice from people who don’t know the interaction between your thoughts, your emotions, your nutrition, your physical body and your transformation goal.  It´s about a holistic, no-nonsense, fact based,  tried-and-tested principles AND an actual  plan with specific action steps to help you transform your body and develop the mental, emotional and physical habits to expand your success in larger parts of your life.

Are you ready for real change?
