The Difference Between Evolution Bootcamp And Other Group Training Options

Alot of people ask me what's the difference between Bootcamp and other group training options.

Quite alot actually!

The first big difference is the nutritional support you get at Bootcamp.

Following the right nutrition plan is crucial if you want to see healthy fat loss results. Poor nutrition is like driving a Ferrari with cheap engine oil in it.You will not get very far. Here at Evolution Bootcamp we look at optimising your nutrition so that you can start to see results in just 28 days without compromising your health.

Our nutrition plan isn't just a few diet tips that you'll find on the internet, it's really more of a nutritional philosophy that's designed to get you some great fat loss results in just 28 days.

The programme is all about eating great food, drinking fresh clean water, avoiding processed food and eating organically whenever you can.

You won't find us pushing any pills, powders or supplements your way whatsover to make your results look better than they actually are - just eating the way mother nature intended you to eat, that's it!

The Second Big Difference Is The Workouts We Use

The sessions we use at Bootcamp have been tried and tested on all our private 1-2-1 clients, and with great success too.

Put simply, we know how to create the best fat loss workout in just 45 minutes.

All our workouts we use at Bootcamp are designed with metabolic disturbance in mind. This means how many calories you'll burn long AFTER the workout finishes, even when you're resting. something that you don't always get with other group training options.

Bootcamp takes place every Monday (9.30am), Tuesday (6.30pm), Wednesday (9.30am), Thursday (6.30pm) and Saturday (8.30am)in Knole Park, Sevenoaks.

It also takes place every Tuesday (6.30pm), Thursday (6.30pm) and Saturday (9.30am) in Tonbridge Park, Tonbridge.

Are YOU A Drug Addict?



Hey! How you doing?

I hope you're doing awesome? Today I wanted to talk to you about sugar and how this white stuff can not only affect your fat loss but your overall health aswell.

I wrote about this subject only a few months ago however I feel that the "sugar message" is STILL not getting through to alot of people so I'm re-visiting this.

When I talk about giving up sugar, most people 'think' they have, when this couldn't be further from the truth.

Giving up sugar goes much deeper than just cutting out cakes, biscuits and chocolates.

Hidden sugars are also found in so-called "healthy foods" aswell:

Cereals,
Salad dressings,
Soups,
Spreads,
Pre-packed sandwiches,
Pre-packed salads,
Alcoholic beverages,
Bread, etc.

If you're committed to getting your health back and are truly interested in WHY you should give sugar up (or seriously cut back on it) then just check out the staggering list below.

(Alot of people I come across seem to think that diabetes is the only health disorder linked with high sugar consumption, but, as the list below will show you, consuming too much can have huge health implications):

Unbelievable right?

Sugar is quite simply a drug and is actually more addictive than heroine, tobacco, cocaine and marijuana.

Just like any drug, it's really really hard to give up.

Here's what I think:

"Most People Are Addicted To Sugar They Just Don't Know It Yet"

The problem with sugar is that it's found it's way into most of our food and we really have to be careful about what we buy if we're to give it up completely.

It's likely that any food that's been tinned, canned or packaged has some kind of sugar in it to preserve it's lifespan. Anything ending is 'ose is basically sugar (Glucose, Sucrose, Lactose, Maltose, Galactose, Frutose, Dextrose, Mannose,
Saccharose, Levulose).

Below I've devised a 5-step plan to help you ween yourself off the nasty stuff that will not only help with your fat loss progress but your health aswell:

1) Give up sugar!

When you give up sugar (or severly cut down on your intake), it's likely that you'll experience some withdrawal symptoms. This is because you're a sugar addict and you're craving it. Go cold turkey for 2 months and try out some new and exciting sugar-free recipes. Avoid pre-packed food and focus on cooking with natural ingredients. Know where you're food and ingredients are coming from.

2) Check the labels when you go shopping

Do some detective work when you go shopping. Look for any of the hidden sugars mentioned above. Basically, anything ending in 'ose is sugar (fructose, sucrose, lactose, dextrose etc.)

3) Do Something else when your sugar craving kicks in

When a sugar craving kicks in, keep yourself busy and do something else. Go for a walk round the block or read a book for 20 minutes if you have to. This will help keep your mind off the food your craving.


4) Toughen Up!

Quit whingeing that you can't give up sugar and just DO it! If you're a "Fussy Eater" then do something about it and try out some different recipes. There's plenty of variety out there. This is your health we're talking about. When are you going to address it? When it's too late? When you have cancer? diabetes?

I'm sorry if that offended anyone but I feel it's my mission as your fat loss coach to be aware of the many health implications that sugar has on the human body.

Remember, the human body is a marvelous piece of machinery and it's not designed to eat sugar.

6) Don't Go Mad With The Fruit

Fruit is very good for us so please don't think I'm telling you that it's not! Just don't snack on it all day because at the end of the day, fruit contains fructose, which, although is sugar in it's natural form, it's still sugar and your body will see it as that. Replace with more fresh vegetables instead.


So there you have it! If you're interested in giving up sugar and want some recipes to try out that use nothing other than natural ingredients then let me know and I'll order you a cook book.

Here's to a sugar-free diet.

5 Killer Fat Loss Tips!



Hey! I hope you're doing awesome?

I certainly am. I'm into week 4 of my Elimination Diet and going well. No alcohol, caffeine, processed food or sugar for 30 days. If you want more information on this diet then check out my free fat loss report "9 Powerful Secrets to Losing Bodyfat!"

Anyway, that's not why I'm messaging you. I sometimes write about health & fat loss for my local magazine and, having thumbed through a recent edition, I realised I hadn't uploaded the article here so I just wanted to share with you my 5-step success plan. These are just some of the steps that I use successfully on both myself and with my private clients. I hope you are too.

1. Focus On Whole Natural Foods And Short Burst Workouts

Eat organically whenever you can and avoid anything that's been tinned, canned or packaged. Instead of long steady "cardio" activity focus on short burst workouts like circuit training and intervals to help burn off more bodyfat. These workouts have been research-proven to burn more calories long after the workout finishes.

2. Write Down What You're Eating.

Research shows that those that use a food diary are more likely to achieve fat loss success than those who don't. You can download yours for free over at my website.

3. Stop Beating Yourself Up!

If you fall off the wagon with your diet, then don't beat yourself up,just forget about it, move on and think that tomorrow will be a much better day. Try to get as much control over your health and fitness as you can by shopping, planning and preparing.Know what you're going to have to eat tomorrow, and the next and the next and STICK TO IT!

4. Surround Yourself With People Who Have The Same Goals As You.

The truth of the matter is that most people will hold you down and don't want to see you succeed. Hang around with others who share the same fitness/fat loss/health goals as you so you can benfit from shared knowledge, commitment, support and success.

Surround yourself with positive people and ditch the "energy drainers" from your life.

5) Create Some "Me-Time" For Yourself

Trying to please everybody is a recipe for failure. You need to find time you can label as your own, not your kids, your partner or your friends - YOURS!!! Because until you put yourself first, just occasionally, you will NEVER find the time to do what you want to do.

And there you have them, my 5-step fat loss success plan. Follow those steps and I'm sure you'll see some success.

Catch you soon,

Sam : )

Why Your Portion Sizes Maybe Keeping You Fat! (Plus My Vacation Photos From Tenerife).

Hey there,

How we all doing? I haven't written here in a while as I've been on vacation with my girlfriend Christie and only got back this week.

We both had an awesome time in Tenerife, lots of rest, recovery and regeneration and plenty of sunshine for the later part of the vacation which we were both happy about. Whilst we were there we managed to explore the famous Mount Teide volcano in the heart of the island. we also enjoyed a great boat trip where we saw some whales swimming real close to the boat.

Here are some of the pics I took whilst up Mount Teide and on the boat trip:





Mount Teide is the world's third biggest volcano at an altitude of 2,300 metres. It's also the highest point in Spain.

Our cattamerang trip saw us explore the west side of Tenerife during which time we saw a few whales that came up to the boat to do a bit of exploring themselves which was awesome!





I've never seen whales in the wild before so I was real happy that they came so close to the boat and that Christie & I could get some cool pics.

Anyway, I don't want to bore you too much with my holiday adventures but I DID want to talk to you about something I noticed in our hotel dining area every evening.

Something that most diners were doing that shocked me.

Something that will seriously put a BIG HAULT to your fat loss progress

..And this was PORTION SIZES

I couldn't believe how much food people were piling on their plate!

I'm guessing most of the guests staying at the hotel were 'all-inclusive' because ALL of them seemed to want to get their money's worth when it came to dining.

Don't get me wrong, I don't have an issue with people relaxing on their diet slightly when they go on vacation but piling plates and cutting half a loaf of bread for yourself seems somewhat greedy.

It was almost as if just because the food was there infront of them...they HAD to eat it!

You need to go EASY with the portion sizes when it comes to fat loss.

It doesn't matter whether you're on vacation, eating out or preparing something at home, you need to look at your portion sizes.

You can eat the healthiest food on this planet, and the best fat loss workouts money can buy yet you'll STILL put weight on if you're not thinking about how MUCH you're eating.

Any food is calories at the end of the day.

Make sure you're eating little and often. This will help to spread out your calories throughout the day instead of consuming most of your daily calories at the end of the day.

OK, rant over, just wanted to share that with you.

Here are some more pics from the holiday. And if you want to see ALL of the pics then make sure you check them out on my facebook page.













Peace out, and I'll talk to you again real soon...

9 Success Secrets To Maximise Fat Loss

I thought it would be cool to share with you some of the secrets I use with all my paying clients to help them achieve great fat loss success:

1) Quit waiting for the right time

Stop waiting around for the best time to start your fat loss plan. They'll NEVER be one. Just get going!!! Here's a workout to help you get started. Awesome chillout tune with it aswell : )



2) Be Honest With Yourself!

It's amazing how alot of people are disillusioned about the way they eat. Reality check: Cereal & toast for breakfast & Sandwiches for lunch isn't healthy. And what about the binge drinking the weekend. Have they "conveniently forgotton about that? If you want to lose body fat then don't be someone who suffers from "Dietary Dishonesty". Use a food diary and find out EXACTLY what you're eating on a daily basis.

Download my food diary I use with all my clients over at my personal training website

3) Surround yourself with positive people

Ditch the energy suckers from your life. If you're hanging out with people that are negative about diet & exercise then they will quickly pull you down to their level and suck the life out of you. They will stop you from moving forwards in life. Get rid of them if you want to see results.

4) Diarise Your Workouts

Make sure you schedule your workouts into your diary. If you haven't got a diary, buy one! Know WHEN you're going to workout and at WHAT time. Nothing is REAL until you schedule it!

5) Ditch the crap!!!

Humans aren't designed to eat processed food, sugar, salt or trans-fatty acids. Replace with more vegetables and fruit, combine with with 3 workouts a week, get to bed by 10:30pm and start to see a difference in your energy and your fat levels.

6) If you're not happy, make the change

"If you don't like something change it; if you can't change it, change the way you think about it." ~ Mary Engelbreit
I say if you're not happy about something in your life, whether it be personally or professionally then make the change. When you're through changing, you may aswell call it a day. Remember, ...it's not the strongest or most intelligent that survive, it's the person who can CHANGE the most.

7) Use intermittent fasting

Combining Brad Pilon's "Eat Stop Eat" nutritional Philosophy along with ours is going to help you burn a serious amount of bodyfat. We've been using "Eat Stop Eat" with our clients for the past 2 years and have had acceptional results with it. Go check it out Eat Stop Eat

8) Don't listen to the negative voice inside you!



9)Never, ever give up

Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up."- Thomas Edison
I say when it comes to your fat loss plan don't give up just because you've had a "bad diet day." Write it off and know in your mind that tomorrow will be MUCH much better.

Try implementing some of these secrets today : )

Peace out,

Sam
