Hi, Todd here again,
Three days ago I told you about my new 21 Day Rapid Fat Loss Program that starts Monday the 30th.
Well, the response to my 21 Day Rapid Fat Loss Boot Camp has been huge.
I have more information for those of you who want to start this fun 21 day life changing program.
Here’s the deal. We only had room for 10 new participant (as this camp will run concurrent within our existing boot camp)…now there’s only 3 spots remaining.
The 21 day rapid fat loss boot camp is an indoor fitness boot camp that will last (three weeks) and starts Monday November 30th. The best results will come if you attend 3-5 days per week.
Call in sick to work for those three weeks if you have to (just kidding)
Since it’s a group class everyone will participate at their own level so it doesn’t matter what shape you’re in… you’re going to get amazing results during these 21 days.
Here’s what you need to know:
• Boot camp times will be 9:15 AM Monday through Friday or 7:15 pm Monday – Thursday sat Precision Fitness in Warwick. (We ask that you commit to at least three days a week for best results)
• We’re cutting the cost from our regular class price of $197 down to only $97 for this special 21 day boot camp.
• We’re also including a free 21 day personalized, calorie and life style specific meal plan to help you get even faster results.
Since the response to this was bigger than I anticipated and since we only have room for 3 more participants we are doing the registration on a first “call” first serve basis.
We want to get everyone registered for this 21 day fun fest as soon as possible. So here is what you need to do to get in on the action.
Pick up the phone and call 401-732-6400 and Laura or myself will get you registered and squared away.
Or go to this special webpage: http://www.toddcambio.com/2009/11/21-day-rapid-fat-loss-program-is-back.html
I have set up and register there.
Remember, there are only 3 spots available so it’s all about first come first serve.
Committed to your success,

The number one reason why people don't exercise is...
...that they don't have time!
At least that's what they tell themselves .
I know we are all busy. Between getting to and from work, balancing responsibilities and having time for yourself, there's little left over for workouts.
With the holiday season fast approaching your busy schedule is sure to get even busier. There will be parties, shopping, decorating, cooking and family gatherings. It's no wonder that exercise quickly takes a backseat to holiday activities.
You don't have to succumb to weight gain this holiday season. Escape the time crunch excuse in three easy steps:
Step One: Schedule Your Workouts: You've heard this before, and it makes so much sense. If you treat your exercise time with the importance of a work meeting then you'd never skip a workout and you'd be in amazing shape.
While the scheduling concept is brilliant in its simplicity, you have to put it into practice to reap the benefits. Pull out your calendar and a pen. Don't laugh, I'm serious! Just do it. If you want to get into shape it starts with committing to a revised
schedule with a set exercise time.
Identify three 40-minute time slots and mark them on your calendar. That is when you'll exercise.
Remember this: if the thought that you should exercise this week is floating around in your head, but you haven't anchored it down to a specific time and date, then it will quickly disappear.
Step Two: Get the Most from Each Minute: The days of endless, mind numbing cardio are over. A great workout can take place in under an hour, when done correctly. The idea is to burn more calories each minute. This is done through short, intense bursts of exercise.
Use the following three tips to bring your routine up to the next level:

Use the following three tips to bring your routine up to the next level:
- Be Unstable: Use your entire body, and target your core, by performing exercises that engage stabilizing muscles. To do this use an exercise ball, a balance board, a balance disk, or you could simply stand on one leg.
- Add Resistance: The more resistance that you incorporate with your routine translates into higher intensity and more calories burned. Some ideas for adding resistance include: carrying dumbbells while doing lunges, wearing a weighted vest while walking or jogging, or putting a weight between your feet while doing leg raises.
- Use Intervals: Interval training is an amazing tool for creating short yet effective workouts. Don't worry, it's not complicated. Interval training is simply alternating between different short bursts of activity.
Here's an example: Let's say you want to focus on your legs and abs and to also get an effective cardiovascular workout. This would be a great interval routine for your goals:
- Lunge while curling dumbbells, 15-20 repetitions
- 30 seconds of intense cardio: sprint, jump rope, or jumping jacks
- Squat while pressing dumbbells overhead, 15-20 repetitions
- 30 seconds of intense cardio: sprint, jump rope, or jumping jacks
- Crunches on an exercise ball, 15-20 repetitions
- 30 seconds of intense cardio: sprint, jump rope, or jumping jacks
- Leg raises off the end of an exercise bench, 15-20 repetitions
Step Three: Twice the Results in Half the Time: What if I told you that I have a proven way to deliver twice the fitness results in half the time? It's simple really...
When you attempt to lose weight or meet a fitness goal on your own, the odds are stacked against you. Sure, you could do it over time – but it's a long and lonely road. A road lined with detours that threaten to undermine your progress.
When you start a program with me, you suddenly have the upper hand on weight loss. You have me in your corner, coaching you each step of the way, keeping you accountable to workouts and giving you that dose of encouragement went the going gets tough.
And I'll be the one congratulating you when your goal is met.
Call or email today to get started on a fitness program that will put exercise firmly on your calendar, and results squarely in your future.
Be Fit,
Todd

OverEating Survival Guide
Certain foods are powerful.
They cast a spell over the most well-meaning dieter, and cause logical people to overeat until their sides hurt.
They occupy your thoughts to the point of obsession as you try to ignore a plate of cookies. And when it's all said and done, they accumulate on your body in the most obtrusive way as a result of dozens of unused calories.
Why does food hold such power? And, most importantly, how can you control your eating?
The End of Overeating
David A. Kessler, MD set out to answer these pressing questions in his instant bestseller, The End of Overeating. Despite being a pediatrician, a former FDA commissioner, and former dean of the medical schools at Yale and the University of California, San Francisco, Dr. Kessler struggles with his weight.
Observing the current obesity epidemic, he knew that he wasn't alone. Dr. Kessler, with the insight of some of the brightest minds in medicine and science, discovered the following three reasons that most of us are compelled to overeat.

The End of Overeating
David A. Kessler, MD set out to answer these pressing questions in his instant bestseller, The End of Overeating. Despite being a pediatrician, a former FDA commissioner, and former dean of the medical schools at Yale and the University of California, San Francisco, Dr. Kessler struggles with his weight.
Observing the current obesity epidemic, he knew that he wasn't alone. Dr. Kessler, with the insight of some of the brightest minds in medicine and science, discovered the following three reasons that most of us are compelled to overeat.
1. An Irresistible Combination Rewires Your Brain:
Think of your favorite treat - most likely it can be broken down into the basic building blocks of sugar, fat and salt. This combination is known of as the ‘three points of the compass', a combination that has been shown to literally alter the biological circuitry of your brain. Sugar, fat and salt give food a high hedonic value which gives you pleasure. This pleasure reinforces you to return to your favorite foods time and time again.
2. The Food Industry Targets You:
Everywhere you go you'll see the clever work of the food industry, tempting you with highly palatable creations. Food has become a science, and your taste preferences the guiding light. The food industry has one goal - to get you hooked. By constructing food items that are high in sugar, fat and salt they know that you will come back time and time again.
3. Conditioned Hyper-eating Becomes a Way of Life:
Humans are conditioned to seek more reward. When readily available, hyper palatable food become our reward a pattern of hyper-eating quickly emerges. Dr. Kessler describes the cycle:
"Foods high in sugar, fat, and salt, and the cues that signal them, promote more of everything: more arousal...more thoughts of food...more urge to pursue food...more dopamine-stimulated approach behavior...more consumption...more opioid-driven reward...more overeating to feel better...more delay in feeling full...more loss of control...more preoccupation with food...more habit-driven behavior...and ultimately, more and more weight gain."
Breaking the Cycle
The good news is that you don't have to remain trapped in a cycle of overeating. The following three tips will put you back in control.
1. Set Your Rules:
In order to resist overeating in today's tempting food environment, you must eat by a set of self-imposed rules. Predetermined rules take away the need to make food decisions in vulnerable moments.
Dr. Kessler thinks these rules should be, "simple enough to fit with your busy life, but specific enough to remove uncertainty from the food equation." For suggestions as to what rules you should adopt, let's turn to another authority on eating, bestselling author of ‘In Defense of Food', Michael Pollan:
- Don't eat anything your great grandmother wouldn't recognize as food.
- Pay more, eat less. Look for quality of food over quantity.
- Eat meals. Cut out constant snacking, stick with a structured meal plan.
- Don't get your fuel from the same place your car does. Gas stations are great for fueling your car, but the food they sell are not suited to fuel you.
- Try not to eat alone. Eating can become mindless when alone, leading to overeating.
- Eat slowly. Eat foods that have been prepared slowly – that means no fast food.
2. Make Negative Associations:
When was the last time you peeled a lemon and ate it whole? Probably never. That's because your taste buds have a negative association with the sour taste.
Our taste buds have traditionally been our guide when it comes to food selection, but this must change for you to successfully avoid overeating. Since the food industry purposely crafts food items to please your taste buds (not waistline) what tastes good can no longer dictate what you eat. It's up to you to create negative associations with unhealthy food - despite their pleasing taste.
Here are some negatives to focus on:
- Those extra calories will accumulate around your waist.
- Your health will suffer.
- You will become more disappointed with your appearance.
- You'll feel sluggish.
3. Give Yourself a Real Reward:
The bottom line is that we eat unhealthy food as a reward, even though it causes more harm that good. It's time to give yourself a truly beneficial reward – exercise.
Exercise is a healthy reward that will not only release endorphins into your system, but will also give you the benefit of weight loss and improved health.
I truly believe that you can overcome your pattern of overeating with healthy eating and regular exercise. Call 401.732.6400 or email me today to get started on a program that will truly change your life.
Be Fit,
Todd
