Your big fat gut won’t go away, you’ve tried “everything,” (“OH YES I HAVE,” you say with conviction).
And you’re going to fight me too with all 300 excuses and reasons with things you’ve tried:
Diet pills Diet Gatorade
Diet Coke Diet Water
Diet beer Diet French fries (so the package said)
Diet candy Diet coffee
Diet cheese Diet peanut butter and jelly sandwiches
Diet yogurt Diet blueberry pancakes
Diet pizza Diet cosmetic surgery
Diet bread Diet vacationing
Diet magazines Diet face cream
Diet Sketcher shape up shoes Diet cellulite cream
Diet Spanx Diet skinny jeans
Diet Gum Diet Tic Tacs
Diet body wraps Diet facial peels
Diet sunless tanning cream Diet whirlpool spas
Diet 100 calorie packs Diet breakfast burritos
Diet starving Diet caramel dipped apples….and I am positive you’ve experienced favorable results with these and the many other things you have tried.
So, what happened? Did you starve to fit in the wedding dress, get married and then decide it was time to blow up again?
Awesome.
You’ve gotten your gym membership (from the guy who looks, speaks and acts like a used car salesman), that you’ve used three times so far this year, but you feel GREAT about spending the enrollment fee (it was on sale for chrissakes and it was the FINAL DAY ((the 1000th final day of the thing too)), and keep paying the monthly fee because it makes you feel like you’re getting something done of course).
Yes I understand.
You also have your friend to go walking with but it gets dark too early in the day and heaven forbid you get up before going to work to walk, (still dark, I get it). And what happened to taking clothes with you to work, or at least a pair of tennis shoes to walk in during lunch?
• Oh I get it, you only get an hour for lunch and you have to go across the street to buy a lunch that will stick to your already complaining muffin top, and you’ll barely have enough time to eat by the time you get back. (Uh huh, I get it).
• No wait, you can’t because it’s too hot outside and you have to go back to work. (I get it, really).
• Oh hold on, what about going to the already planned, there for you THREE DAYS A WEEK, Pilates/strengthening class, that’s in your office building on the 3rd floor out of 6 floors total, that all you’ll need to do is walk over to it, that your employer is providing you—for FREE? (Yes, I provide some of this FREE training that you somehow can’t make it to).Perhaps the gym membership is only “good” when your friend goes with you and if that friend doesn’t go with you………you can’t go because it’s just not that fun and perish the thought you grow some initiative and go on your own. (I see.)
Maybe you have a gym membership but you regret buying it because only dummies work out in a “gym,” where you’d much rather exercise outside in the gorgeous elements and commune with nature, rocks, mud and lush green hills, and the smart money says it won’t cost you anything. But you haven’t taken one step outside in this effort because….because…. ummmmm. (And you haven’t cancelled your gym membership yet. Yes, the gyms LOVE your kind. Just keep giving them your money in the “hope” that either you’ll go back one day or “just in case” you cannot get an outdoor workout in, you’ll actually use that god-forsaken membership. And you bought one for your significant other too). (Yeah, I hear ya).
And of course going to exercise, wherever, after work is absolutely impossible because you have kids, got to pick them up, make dinner, (a quick stop at Taco Bell), do homework, (that they do on your way to driving them to practice), get home, hope to say “boo” to your male OR female spouse (who never helps with the household chores OR carting kids anywhere), and pray to squeeze in some “me” time before it all begins again the next day. (Oh NOW I’m getting it).
So let me get this straight:
You’re saying you have absolutely zero time- -ZERO time- – to get any kind of exercise in, period, and there’s NO POSSIBLE WAY that you can eat better because it costs too much, (but WOW are you willing to pay a few hundred bucks a month for the meds you can’t do without, but you really ‘could’ do without given clean food and exercise- -but we won’t go there), but instead send me emails on Facebook telling me your story of how you:
• “Just can’t get it together.”
• “My doctor is putting me on meds.”
• “I have not been motivated to go to my gym. I have high blood pressure and love salt. So I know what I need to do, but I am scared to work out too hard. My eating is the big thing. I don’t know what to eat.”
• “Well I bought the treats for the kids and they didn’t like it so I HAD to eat it so as not to waste food.”
• “So by Saturday evening, my left knee didn’t feel too good. I babied it a little bit. By Sunday morning couldn’t hardly walk.. Went to the doctor’s and took X-rays and found out I have Arthritis in my left knee…It’s a lot, and probably in my other joints, but concentrated on just my knee for now..so, on meds, and still limping, feeling better, but now know my weight loss is a must… Any suggestions please let me know….I can still exercise, just not as much hard impact and so many days….Talk to u soon…”
• “I’m fully aware that I need to lose weight, I just….I just can’t seem to do it.”…..and still there’s hesitation to do what’s good for you.
Yup, I get it.
“No Annette I don’t even have 10 minutes to do anything and besides, what the hell good is 10 minutes anyway?”
And my favorite:
“I can’t afford it.”
You’re always looking for a discount….because you believe you deserve it.
So you’re saying that I can also deliver discount services, correct?
I’ve heard it a million times too: “If somebody would just give me a handout, train me for free and see that I REALLY DO want to lose weight. Ohhh I wish I wish I wish that could happen to me. Can’t they see the real me? Can’t they see that I would do all the workouts they gave me and keep it forever?”
Deep breath.
So I’ve even catered to this mentality by offering free training.
For 6 weeks during the holidays I trained 6 people for FREE. I gave them their own meal plans for FREE. I gave them the best trainer tips, input, training strategies they could ever get, (because they told me that I did).
Would you like to know what happened after the 6 weeks of training with me, 6 weeks of email coaching, exact structure of how, what and when to eat, after the constant encouragement of how to continue their progress AND I even threw in an added lifetime discount that would make you slap your forehead in amazement, ($3.46 per training)?
Here it comes.
Only 1 returned.
Their reasons are many to include “I can’t afford it” to “I was scared to come in after being gone for so long.”
And that’s okay, as long as you are comfortable with your choice/s.
Truth time.
You may not embrace this, and honestly, that’s your issue.
In a nutshell:
There’s nothing “wrong” with you.
What you’re looking for is a quick fix, a “wake up and the transformation will be there,” an instant gratification.
You’re lazy.
You’re afraid.
Earning isn’t in your vocabulary, self worth hasn’t been realized.
Stop being a puss.
You’ve tried “everything,” right?
Cool, so now do something different.
INVEST in a coach because apparently everything you’ve done on your own hasn’t worked, right?
And do it for more than 5 minutes this time.
INVEST your time because apparently (again), you HAVE done everything and it hasn’t worked, correct?
It is said a habit is built in 21 days. I say build a GREAT and LASTING habit. Take at least 3 months to do it, and if you feel you need more time than that, take it. Prepare for it. Make a plan for it.
Focus on the behavior, not the result.
Pretty simple here, it’s the behavior.
Look at what you do and how you do it, and you’ll quickly see that you look like your behavior.
This creates accountability.
You can take the accountability in one of three ways:
1. Self hate and throw a pity party. Hell, invite ALL your victim friends, it’ll be fun!
2. Say F it, I’m gonna die anyway. OR…..
3. Change the behaviorWho or what are you giving the power to?
Umm, why?
Start here, Small Group Training w/Annette: http://wp.me/pmtrp-cS
Oh that doesn’t work for you?
Okay, go here, Fire It Up w/trainer Annette: http://wp.me/pmtrp-dP
That doesn’t work for you either?
Okay, go here and scroll down, Personal Training w/Annette: http://www.absolute-fitness-results.com/personal-trainer-orange-county.html
That doesn’t work for you either?
Then take your BUTT outside and move it.
The solution:
FOCUS ON THE BEHAVIOR, NOT THE RESULT.
The results are continually the side effect of the behavior.
Now bring it,
Annette
P.S. Three ways to do it:
1. Small Group Training w/Annette: http://wp.me/pmtrp-cS
2. Fire it Up w/trainer Annette: http://wp.me/pmtrp-dP
3. Personal training w/Annette: http://www.absolute-fitness-results.com/personal-trainer-orange-county.htmlP.S.S. Nothing happens without action. NOTHING.

A few weeks ago I was asked by the owner of the private gym I train at, to train his boot camp this past Saturday.
Of course it was an easy decision, so I added my own small group training clients into the mix, and asked for the help of another trainer friend of mine.
Everybody started arriving with this funny look on their faces–I could only guess it was terror, as I had the privilege of training them once before?
Giggle!
Well the thing is, they came back knowing I was a guest trainer.
That says a TON about their character.
I put the final touches on the circuit and also put on my military voice. Then we headed from the inside of the gym to the outside, to give them the lay of the land and what was expected of them.
“Form is EVERYTHING here ladies. If you’ve been coming to train but are still not seeing the results you came in expecting to get, let’s consider a few things: the fat in between your thighs. If you don’t like it, then do this station like this. If you’re done with the belly dripping over into the muffin top, keep your feet here when doing this. You’ll feel the soreness and spike a different result. And if you’re still cryin about MENOPAUSE and you woke up 15lbs heavier and it just won’t go away, consider this…..INTENSITY IS KEY. Ya gotta jump out of your comfort zone and GET uncomfortable. Its pretty simple.”
So I continued to demonstrate the exercises at each station while showing options for safety and to either increase or decrease the intensity, and I was listening in the background to their muttled chatter as to why they couldn’t execute that particular exercise.
Ooooh I got fired up and bellowed…..
“Oh ‘BOO-HOO’ I can’t do that because….., I can’t do that one either because……, oh she expects me to do THAT?! No friggin way am I gonna do THAT,” I projected with my best sarcasm. And then I demanded,
“Okay, tell me why you can’t. WHY is this SO unattainable for you miss carpal tunnel, miss fibromyalgia, miss no cartilage or meniscus? PLEASE SHARE why you miss ‘my back hurts right here every time I do that exercise so I just don’t do it anymore’ WHY you can’t? I believe I just offered, with a special invite on top of that, for each and every issue you have each told me about, an option that will not hurt you but rather SERVE you and deliver the results you want so now…….WHY CAN’T YOU DO IT?”
Silence and giggles. And one final exercise instruction from me:
“Oh and by the way, after you reach this station, you’re running to the beach and back.” (‘The beach’ is actually Beach Blvd., and its .6 miles to and from the gym).
They heard that and immediately thereafter came the grand, harmonized symphony of moans & groans.
And then I delivered the “speech.” One of my favorite ones.
The 90% mental, 10% physical speech.
“Guys here’s the thing–you have GOT TO BELIEVE this is an attainable goal. A HUGE key to success is the simple belief and re-routing the negative about WHATEVER you are telling yourself and allowing to fill your brain to the point of crippling behavior, into the thing that makes you believe success is eminent. Training is 90% mental and 10% physical. PERIOD. All this B.S. you’re pouring into your heads that “you can’t do this, you can’t do that,” is the EXACT thing you’re going to produce. Today I invite you to cut the bulls**t and EXPECT more of yourself–because completing today’s format is what the movies like Rocky are made out of. Strive for a greater goal from yourself. Do what your body IS able to do, not what it “can’t.” TELL YOURSELF exactly what you’re going to do, then do it. Now grab your station, we start in 5, 4, 3, 2…….”
So what 12 things about all this impressed me?
12 people.
12 people impressed me by their ability to show up.
And on time.
12 people impressed me who within 8 minutes of pre-training instruction, fear of the unknown to the actual instruction and what to expect, to coaching of the mind set that was readily available to use, to the execution of the first station up to the last, decided they were going to change the fear faces they were wearing.
12 people impressed me who chose difference and because of it not only completed the course, but couldn’t believe they actually DID it, and they were beaming with the awesome sense of accomplishment only the kind of work they did can produce.
They stood sweaty.
They stood taller.
They stood with confidence.
They stood proud.
They earned it.
Because they chose it.
Thank you Joe for trusting us with your clients.
They killed it.

Okay seriously, its RARE that I actually SAY what’s ‘really’ on my mind about this topic, but today I just CANNOT help it.
See, not only am I an awesome personal trainer, but I’m also an exceptional group fitness instructor.
Really, ask anybody.
So when I teach and train, it is forever my goal to provide perfection in execution, from me to my clients & classes, thus encouraging the recipients to reach for higher goals and EXPECT more of themselves-while receiving superior attention to detail TO AVOID INJURY so they can continue to come back w/out any lull due to BEING INJURED due to lack of attention and/or education!!!!
ITS CALLED INTEGRITY PEOPLE!!
So there I was, like any other day at one of the big box gyms I work out and teach at which I will NOT name, (but it sounds like 24Hour Fitness) and by now throughout the years it has been about 15,000 times I’ve made these trips to and from, and there it was……
As I see it EVERY time I go.
NEVER fails.
Consistently there and it makes me CRINGE….
A two-year old trainer standing back watching, ALLOWING his client do the STUPIDEST thing EVER….
The JACKASS dead lift.
Oh you didn’t know there was such a thing?
Sure, its called 45lb free bar, 45lb weights on each side of the bar, feet wide, toes pointed out like a ballerina, locked up knees like a FLAMINGO!, slumped shoulders all wrapped up with the Quazimoto slouch that rivaled even the hump of a camel.
And there was the client, doing exactly what the trainer was telling him to do.
Wow.
Now what I really wanted to do was grab the bar from the client, and effing CHUCK it at the trainer, but instead I turned a blind eye (for the 27 GO-ZILLION th time), and went on my way.
Is it the trainers fault?
Nah.
To me its the clubs issue for hiring this way and not follow up with supervision but rather, have a heartbeat to continue to bring in another dollar. A trainer can get certified after a 2-3 hour course and guess what…..
GOOD TO GO!
Its a cattle call for the most part when working at the big boxes, and as long as there are people paying, we will have the 2 year olds to train them.
Well all I KNOW I can say is this:
You train with me, this won’t EVER happen.
EVER.
Which is why I train in small groups.
You can see how we “do” my Small Group Training here: http://wp.me/pmtrp-cS
And again, ask anybody.
Okay, I’m done venting, thanks for listening on this one!
Let me know what you guys think about this below!

So if you’re on Facebook, you got a mini-view of my post-turned-blog (the turn to blog is this post!!).
I was a MESS yesterday!
It started with the idea to put in some more miles this past Sunday w/my half marathon running buddy Isabel.
10 miles was the goal, and for both of us it would be the longest we had gone thus far.
Kind of a scary thought–at least for me!
I’ve deliberately chosen to switch my “face” for running from: “I HATE running,” to “okay, I have a goal, its time I step up to the plate, walk the talk and get it done.”
That decision became easy…..after repeating this to myself in the mirror for 15 days: “I AM a runner. My body is made to do this. I am strong, I am blessed, and I can go for miles.”
But getting to that point took deliberate action.
Onto the 10-mile run we went, along with 2 additional friends of mine, I’ll call them 1 & 2, just cause I don’t have their permission to throw them here on my blog!
The day was chilly, about 53 degrees when we started. I had my black 3/4 workout shorts and my red long-sleeved nike training layer. (This top turns me into Wonder Woman-that and my Suunto watch which still doesn’t have the correct time set on it but I wear it anyway), but the sun was out, it was beautiful.
#1 friend took off like a shot. Nobody else existed except her headphones and the embrace of the pavement.
We were all relying on #1 to keep the mileage counts for us. It was a bit uncomfortable for me, but I still, after about 4 months, have not set my Suunto!
Trot trot trot we go. Note to self: get a new pair of earphones with the hook-thingies that go behind your ear.
The short, #1 is headed back, I look at her and mouth to her “where’s the 5 mile mark?”
She shouts back “West Lincoln then turn back.”
“Okay cool, I’m almost there,” I said to myself. “Whew!”
So I continued until West Lincoln showed up.
Didn’t show up.
Still didn’t show up.
Still messin with the right earbud, it kept fallin out.
“WHERE’S WEST LINCOLN?!”
“$hit, I’m tired! Okay, I’ll stop at the next bridge-looking thing. Its kinda far but eh, I’ll make it.”
I stopped at Taft, chugged my bottle of water and came back!
About 15 trots back I realized that mayyyyybe I went to far!
Laughing OUT LOUD at myself there went yet ANOTHER face, another mind set of “awww yeah, time to suck it up and finish.”
And now there was a head wind.
Didn’t seem like it was going to end! Every mind game available was present, taunting me with every single step I took.
Legs feeling like concrete, I allowed the mind games to have their say, and beat em back with “I AM a runner. My body is made to do this. I am strong, I am blessed, and I can go for miles.”
Upon return I was welcomed by my friends, and a big “WHAT HAPPENED!?”
So I regaled the “West Lincoln” story.
And here comes #1–”Nooooo Annette I said ‘just PAST’ Lincoln. To go a little bit PAST Lincoln and turn around!”
Yup, there I was, the tontita with my Wonder Woman shirt, Suunto
watch that doesn’t tell time yet, my shaking legs and the BIGGEST smile of accomplishment!Well ended up I ran close to 13 miles. I haven’t mapped it out yet, but its a pretty good estimation.
Do you have a mission to accomplish? I think you do!
You can start here: http://wp.me/pmtrp-di
The only reason you need is…..you.
And then some,
Annette
P.S. I EARNED those miles yesterday. Learn what earning “you” can mean here: http://wp.me/pmtrp-di

I got an offer.
For $1
One dollar.
Yeah, one dollar.
There’s a lot of power in it.
$1 can get you a TON of good stuff—with me.
The power of $1.
See, we are creatures of skepticism and do not want to fork anything out unless we know what we’re getting, right?
Just to make sure we’re not getting ripped off.
I get it, I am the same way.
Because of this I would like to invite you experience training with me—for the rest of this current week, for $1.
This is what I’m doing now: http://wp.me/pmtrp-cS
BUT STARTING TOMORROW TUE JAN 19 THROUGH SAT JAN 23, I am offering the goods to you, any and ALL trainings…..for $1.
Come and test drive what you’ve been hearing about.
Check this out: http://wp.me/pmtrp-cS
Yes, I really want you to experience me, trainer Annette and what I can offer you.
So much so, I’m offering it for just $1.
No tricks.
No gimmicks.
No rip offs.
You’ll experience “it.”
That “it” is you.
This just in from Facebook:
“BTW- I am convinced that you are the BEST trainer! Now that we moved I go to another gym. The people “leading” the class suck!!!! They don’t model the moves or give modifications like you do. Keep on doing what you do because you are good at it. I was SUPER close to just leaving out of frustration a couple of times.”
~Christine Aguilar
Of course I’d like you to continue with the Small Group Training beginning Monday February 1, 2010. http://wp.me/pmtrp-cS
Definitely that is my intent are you kidding?
But I’ll have another special offer for the last week of Jan 25 through Jan 31.
(Shhhhhhhhh………)
But if all you want to do is come and get the best formatted trainings that burn how you want to burn, find a place that you didn’t believe you could reach and experience your level of excellence for $1…..
Well then COME OUT AND GET IT!
For $1.
And let’s dispel the rumors that “Oh she’ll think I’m cheap cause I don’t want to afford the Small Group Training so I can’t go and show my face and then leave when the just-about-free stuff is gone.”
No, that’s not what I will think.
That’s your story.
What I will think is that your choice to invest in yourself is within your comfort zone and you haven’t given yourself permission to adjust your lifestyle to create selfishness….yet.
And my definition of selfish: “A discipline and integrity unto yourself.”
So wherever you choose to hold your own “selfish” is exactly where you want to be.
And if you’re okay with that, who am I to say any different?
That’s not how I roll.
I’m rolling with a buck.
$1.
One dollar.
Now tell me you can’t afford it.
I’d love to know you’re coming.
Get some free coaching while we’re talking too!
Call me. 562 650 2395
Email me: annette@absolute-fitness-results.com
Bring it,
Annette
P.S. $1. It’s another offer you can’t refuse. It begins tomorrow Jan 19 and lasts through Jan 23. I suggest you jump.

“RESULTS RESULTS RESULTS!!!! I have been exercising for 5 years and I realized that there are classes that I enjoy which help me maintain a healthy lifestyle, however when I train with you or take your classes I am always challenged. I truly feel like you get what you pay for……and you are worth every penny. I enjoy training in a small group because everyone has a different strength and weakness. I find that you feed off of others and their energy. This experience has been rewarding, special, enjoyable and most of all challenging. I am sure everyone in this group has learned a lot about what they are capable of considering we have such a strong voice “Annette’s” pushing and reminding us of why we wanted to be a part of this work out program.”
~Adina Somoza
What a way to get a jump on the New Year’s resolution that, as we all know, doesn’t really begin till the SECOND week of the New Year because the excuse that “hangs out there” is, “Oh well I have so many leftovers, I have to get settled in the New Year,” that the first week is defeated even before you start.
With all this awesome stuff in an offer I know you can’t refuse, may I suggest you jump?
