Hypnotic personal training is taking the Fitness Industry by storm. Here is some common questions about the unique service i offer and why it is catching on like wildfire...
Q: What is hypnotic personal training?
A; It is a phrase I coined myself to describe the special service I offer my clients. It is a combination of my three passions and expertise. Exercise, nutrition and the human mind, particularly the subconscious mind. My clients are taught how to run their brain, rather than have their brain run them, in order to super-boost their motivation and love of exercise. Craving for unhealthy food disappear, addictions to smoking and alcohol are collapsed, if needed. My clients can train for harder and longer, with less effort because they experience no mental fatigue. Athletes usually experience mental fatigue, way before they reach their physical limitation. In essence, if you are trying to reach any health or fitness goal, these are the three areas you need to concentrate on. Concentrating on just two, or even one will never get as good results.
Q: Could you tell us more about how our subconscious mind can help someone reach a fitness goal?
A: Of course, well.. you see all goals are set by our conscious mind but achieved by our subconscious mind. This fact is well known in all hypnotic, N.L.P and neuroscience communities. For instance I can say to myself consciously – I wanna get 6 pack abs, but only the subconscious can really MAKE it happen. Our subconscious, and all behaviour is run by emotions. So.. if I want to achieve 6 pack abs you have got to ask yourself Why? What emotion is stimulating me to want to do this? Do I want to look good so girls will think I am hot, .. or is it for a particular sport. Once we know the true reason we have leverage to influence our subconscious. This part of our mind, you see, only responds to emotions, memory and metaphors. We have all felt motivation before, if you won the lottery you would be motivated to go to the shop and pick up your winnings ok? What I teach allows my clients to take this motivation, put it in a bottle and anchor it towards exercise. Once you do this .. well.. the results speak for themselves.
Q; Could you tell us how nutrition fits into hypnotic personal training?
A: It fits in perfectly. People gain strong emotional attachments to their food. All these emotions originate and develop in our subconscious minds. This really is where the money is. Trust me, try and improve your diet with willpower and it will NEVER work. You have to learn this information if you ever want to succeed in reaching excellence with your training, diet.. and life. Because that is really what I am going for with each client – excellence.
Q; Can you tell us a little bit about your background and how you came up with hypnotic personal training?
A; I had been working as a Personal Trainer for only 6 months when i realised something crucial was missing in this important industry. All fitness professionals know how to prescribe exercise programs, but it doesn't mean jack if you can't motivate people to exercise, or change eating and lifestyle habits of your clients. So i started researching ways i could do this. I done psychology literature research after literature research. Tried and tested all the methods and came to only one rather depressing conclusion -none of the methods work. When i thought all hope was lost in this area i discovered hypnosis. The rest is, as they say - history. Here was the most effective therapy i have tried for behavioural change. Because that really is what the fitness industry is all about. Creating positive behavioural change in our clients so they reach the goals they want. A lot of people have false misconceptions about this vastly misunderstood therapy. We all have a subconscious mind, if you learn how to use this power we all have, your fitness goals become easy. This is all hypnosis is, teaching you how to USE your subc0nscious mind so you become master of your brain, and master of your actions.
I hope this has answered most of your questions about hypnotic personal training. To be coached personally by Luke go now to http://www.hypnoticpersonaltraining.com/home

How to DOUBLE recovery time after Exercise
I was chit chatting to a body builder today. He explained how he had a KICK ASS workout about 2 weeks ago and had worked his muscles so thorughly that it took him a whopping 48 hours to recover from!... i paused and replied.. "Isn't it cooler to take only 24 hours to recover from a workout? or better yet, even less time than that?"
The truth is that if you aim to workout for an hour every day, and you take longer than 23 hours to recover, there will come a time when you have to skip a day of training.. or risk over-training.
RECOVERY- is the missing link to an athlete's success. Speed this factor up, to optimise the frequency and intensity of your training, without any risk of over-training.
So how to increase your recovery time?
When we exercise, glycogen stores become depleted. These must be replenished in order to aid recovery. The consumption of delicious ripe fruit increases blood sugar fairly rapidly, and the conversion from this, to glycogen is not as fast. The exception is after exercise, when the blood is rich with the enzyme glucogenase. This doubles the body's ability to convert sugar to glycogen.
The two most important minerals are potassium and sodium. These are both lost during exercise and can reach dangerously low levels during an intense workout such as a triathlon. This is the reason many athletes are given salt tablets after exercise. However, salt is dangerously dehydrating to the body. A much better source of minerals, such as sodium and potassium is celery.
The third thing we must accomplish to aiid recovery is re-hydration. This is a no-brainer, but did you know that every single food you find in the supermarket dehydrates you to a certain extent? There are two exceptions to this rule: Fruits and vegetables.
So after just finishing a workout we need sugar,salt and water. The ULTIMATE post-workout meal, than is fresh ripe bananas and celery.
This combination gives you the perfect amount of sugar, minerals, and water.
Another factor we need to consider is the free radical damage that occurs to our muscle tissue during exercise. This is the cause of D.O.M.S (Delayed Onset of Muscle Soreness). The only way to reduce this is to increase our consumption of antioxidants. Fruit has the highest number of antioxidants per calorie than any other food group with vegetables coming in second place. Another reeason to choose them after a workout.
Try blended bananas poured over chopped celery with a few chopped dates chucked on top and .. VOILA you have the perfect post-workout food.
Give it a try and drop me an e-mail, letting me know how awesome your speed of recovery was!

The BEST exercise 4 weight loss
This is always a fun topic. Every body it seems, wants to loose weight. With this large amount of interest, there are many conflicting views and opinions on the best way to loose weight. Most fitness professionals concentrate on two factors: Diet and exercise. I will reveal today the third and MOST IMPORTANT factor to weight loss. Before i do that, let us invest some thought on the best exercise to promote weight loss.
The science behing loosing some belly fat is extremely simple. When calories taken in are less than those expired, the body will use up fat stores. So surely the best exercise for weight loss will be the one that burns calories most effectively and efficiently.
The breakdown of muscle tissue stimulates a response from our body. We re-build the muscle tissue, stronger than it was before. This process requires a lot of calories. Any exercise that breaks down muscle tissue will burn more calories because for 48 hrs after the workout, we are still burning calories by re-building the muscle tissue.
Strength exercises will break down muscle tissue most effectively. This includes using a high resistance for a low number of repetitions.
However, we have over 600 muscles in our body, so the BEST exercise for weight loss is one that uses as many as these 600 muscles as possible. A bicep curl is great for the biceps and even a few other muscles, but it is not a whole body exercise.
Bodyweight exercises that use as many muscles as possible whilst working each muscle AS HARD as possible is the BEST exercise for weight loss. Choose a bodyweight exercise that you can only do between 4-8 repetitions before fatigue. For the athletes reading this, a push up is too easy a bodyweight exercise to be seen as a strength exercise. It is an endurance exercise.
Demanding bodyweight exercises such as superman push-ups and rotating jump squats will serve you best (explained in my free report - http://www.luvexercise.com/home.html)
There is another major benefit to this type of exercise in relation to fat loss. In no time at all your muscle mass will increase. Muscle tissue is an extremely active tissue that burns a lot of calories even at rest. Increasing muscle mass will increase your resting metabolic rate. Therefore, you will burn more calories, even while resting. Pretty cool dont ya think!?
So now you know the best type of exercise to do for ultimate fat loss. But this information will not help you AT ALL if you are not motivated to exercise. Did you know that there are a set of techniques, that YOU could learn today to reprogram your mind so you LOVE exercise. It has worked wonders for me and all of my clients. Grab the free report before it goes off the market - http://www.luvexercise.com/home.html.
Now to tell you the third and most important factor with fat loss. A person is overweight because they over-eat. Simple as that. The reason for over-eating in 99% of cases is an emotional issue. Eating food not only provides pleasure, but it also provides emotional numbness. If we are feeling a particular negative emotion, for whatever reason, food is a great way to cover this up.
Learning how to master your brain and you can:
. learn how to stop over-eatin
. learn how to love low calorie foods such as fruits and vegetables
. collapse addictions to fatty foods
. learn to love exercise so you become a fat burning machine.

The power of feelings! (this will shock you)
Below is a paragraph from my new book. Get the first few chapters plus join the waiting list by going to http://www.luvexercise.com/home.html.
The power of feelings
I encourage you to try this experiment. Perform a barbell curl of a weight that you can only lift once or twice before fatigue. Before performing the repetition, think of something extremely happy. A past memory of you achieving something works best. An example would be when you graduated from high school, or won the school
championship... something along those lines. As you do bring those feelings to hear and now and perform the barbell curl. You will find that it is easier to lift. Now do the same thing again but this time think of something that makes you very sad. Overwhelm yourself (just for a few moments) in despair. A memory that gives you a feeling of failure works best. Bring those feelings to hear and now and than try to perform the barbell curl. As you may have already guessed, you will find it much, much harder to lift.
Our feelings have much more power than we give them credit for. This is good news for us, as it means we can use this knowledge to our advantage.

The TRUTH about achieving 6 pack-abs
As a Personal Trainer, the question i got most asked (by guys) is how to achieve 6 pack abs. Some of them had routinely done sit-ups every single day for years without seeing ANY improvement!
In this article i will tell you the two simple secrets you need to know to get awesome 6 pack abs. But first, it is extremely interesting to note that in a world where so many people are sednetary, a person could easily do sit-ups every day FOR YEARS even without seeing any improvement. The reason is that human behaviour is goverened by our emotions. Visualising yourself with 6 pack abs and all the benefits that would bring to your life stimulated the emotions of these people so much that they would do pretty much anything to get it. If you want to learn how to control your own emotions so you have endless motivation to exercise read this free report -http://www.luvexercise.com/home.html
Now for that all important information.. the two secrets to truly gain rock solid 6 pack abs:
1) Lower your percent body fat to a healthy range. This will be 3-9% for men and 13-19% for women. (Despite what some Glamour Models may say, lowering your fat to single digits for a women will cause all kinds of health problems!)
Once your fat is at a healthy range we can now see the abs coming through. Miss this step and nomatter how many ab crunches you do, you will not SEE any benefit.
2) Increase the STRENGTH of your abdominal muscles. Strength exercise include anything that is high resistance with low repetitons. Sit-ups are an endurance exercise (low resistance and high repetition) and is ineffective. Much better are prone extensions.
Extra tip: Sprint training is also awesome at building solid abs. Do this on top of your abdominal strngth exercises and you will be surprised at the results!
Essential secret Number 3:
You now know how to achieve solid abs. It is actually very simple. However, this information is useless if you do not have the motivation to exercise. How would you love to exercise as much as your favourite chocolate bar? Follow the link below to find out how:
