Weight Loss Gone Bad- The Truth About Diet Pills
Wednesday, October 14th, 2009
Weight loss pills have been around for years. It’s a multi-billion dollar industry every year. And it is showing no signs of slowing down. With Americans weighing in more and more every year at the current rate for adult obesity ranging around 25%. 1 in 4. 23 states actually increased their obesity rates from 2007 to 2008 and not a single state actually decreased.
So as you can see weight loss pills are here to stay. With millions and millions of people trying to lose weight and excess body fat the industry will only get richer. 
But what is a good weight loss pill. Is it an actual weight loss pill, a fat burner, a hunger suppressant, or another type?
It’s true there are some bogus companies out there trying to make a quick buck on people’s pain and suffering. That’s true with all types of industries. But the people that buy into these fly-by-night companies and their savvy marketing campaign 
get sucked in, the pill doesn’t work, and they feel even worse now.
What is a person to do?

Fitness Bootcamp in Columbus Starts a New Halloween Tradition- Pumpkin Workouts Benefiting Make-A-Wish
Tuesday, October 6th, 2009
The Columbus-based ‘Yun Fitness Bootcamps” will be starting a unique new tradition. Yun Fitness Bootcamps will be putting on their Freaky Fat-Loss Halloween Pumpkin Workout. For the entire workout the only piece of equipment needed will be you and a Pumpkin. The workout will take place at the Dexter Falls Park on October 17th @ 9:15 am.
The workout will be a charity workout and 100% of the proceeds from the event will be donated to the Make-A-Wish Foundation® of Greater Ohio, Kentucky & Indiana, Central Ohio Region.
“If you don’t think you can get a good workout in from just a pumpkin think again. A pumpkin can be used to simulate a medicine ball,” says owner and head trainer of Yun Fitness Bootcamps, Jason Yun. “Obviously some of the throwing exercises can’t be performed with a pumpkin, but beginners and experienced athletes, alike, will ‘feel the burn’. Working out on a consistent basis is not easy, but finding ways to keep your workouts interesting, like using a pumpkin, will definitely help.”
The workout will be made even more interesting if the participants decide to wear their Halloween costumes. The costumes are optional, but will add some interesting flavor to the workout. “Imagine walking by the park and seeing a clown, princess or Dracula doing jump squats with a bright, orange pumpkin. It will be quite a scene,” remarked Yun.
The Halloween event benefits the Make-A-Wish Foundation® of Greater Ohio, Kentucky & Indiana, Central Ohio Region, which is an organization Yun works closely with and personally supports. Minimum donations of at least $15 are required to join the workout.
Women are encouraged to bring a pumpkin in the range of 10 pounds and men closer to the 20 pound range. The Freaky Fat-Loss Halloween Pumpkin Workout is open to everybody in Columbus and the surrounding area. For more information, please visit http://www.yunbootcamps.com/pumpkinworkout.html or email jyun@yunbootcamps.com.

Vitamin help for women: Best vitamins for women to take!
Friday, September 11th, 2009Ok, so you know Vitamins and Minerals are important. Most every woman knows that.
However, not everyone understands WHY they are so important for their body. So I recently asked Registered Dietitian Jayson Hunter to give us the easy rundown on the Top Women’s Vitamins. Here’s what he had to say:
Vitamin A – This vitamin contributes to the health of you eyes, skin and nails.
Vitamim B – While B Vitamins are often referred to as “energy vitamins” they don’t actually give you a surge of energy, per se. What they actually do is help facilitate metabolic reaction in the body to create energy. They’re also necessary for a healthy metabolism.
Vitamin C – This women’s vitamin is a great antioxidant and immune system booster. It also helps skin health.
Vitamin D – Helps women absorb calcium. And it may help prevent certain types of cancer.
calcium – It’s actually a mineral not a vitamin. And as most women know already, it improves bone density.
Pretty simple, right? But you can also see why it’s so important to understand vitamins for women. Especially if you are a woman. When we understand the reasons to make healthier choices it helps us make them.
Now, I get asked all the time by women which vitamin supplements, if any, they need to be taking. Great question.
Well, if your nutrition is 100% perfect all the time then you probbaly don’t need to take any.
But that’s not the case for most women. Most women are busy as heck and don’t always find the time for proper nutrition. So if that’s the case with you I recommend taking a Whole Foods based Multi-Vitamin. And the only one I recommend is Prograde Nutrition’s VGF 25+ for Women.
It’s actually really cool because it’s literally made from 25 veggies, greens and fruits. You should definitely check out Prograde’s Women’s Vitamins. At the very top of the page is the list of ingredients. You can see the 25 whole foods they use to make VGF 25+ for Women.
Pretty cool, huh? The nutrtion of 25 whole foods in a bottle!

Columbus Bootcamp Instructor tells you how to get results from your weight loss program III
Friday, May 22nd, 2009PLANNING FOR ROADBLOCKS
What can come at you and stop you in your tracks from reaching your goals? This is what you need to plan for and come up with strategies to break through these roadblocks and continue on your path to the new you.
What’s the #1 excuse I hear? Time. ‘I’m too busy. I don’t have time to workout, or make my meals’. Whatever. There is always hidden time somewhere in your day. The amount of time people waste throughout the day is astonishing. If you really want this, you will find the time to do it. If you want to continue on with your ways so be it. I can’t change you. It takes you. You have to want to change. Ask yourself ‘if I continue on with my ways, what will happen to me?’ Perhaps you will be extremely overweight, unhealthy. Maybe you will die young? Maybe you will get depressed? Maybe you will develop heart disease, stroke, cancer, or diabetes? If this is important to you, you will change and find the time to do it. Stop watching Lost or Grey’s Anatomy! Schedule your workouts and meals into your day like you brush your teeth or shower, and I promise you will become who you want to be.
Other excuses I hear are alcohol. Drinking alcohol is one of the worst things you can do when trying to burn fat. If you want to look good then you need a low to none alcohol consumption. What’s more important to you—looking good or getting wasted? Once you reach your goals you can go back to alcohol in moderation. But you have to commit to looking good. Remember alcohol is 7 calories per gram and has absolutely no nutritional value at all. If you drink heavily or often, a lot of what you drink will simply not be burned off and will be converted to fat. Not good for trying to look your best.
These are just a couple common roadblocks I have come across. They will vary from individual to individual. And you need to find out what they are and plan accordingly so you don’t get thrown off track. Find someone close to you that wants you to succeed at this. Social support is a critical component in the weight loss game. Don’t give in to peer pressure from friends, family, or others who don’t want you to succeed. Don’t let them sabotage your efforts by trying to get you to make poor food choices, or by taking you away from your workouts. Tell them your goals; if they want you to be successful keep them around for social support. If they don’t, try and limit your contact with them. Good luck!
A Roadblock can be many things 
Columbus Bootcamp Instructor tells you how to get results from your weight loss program II
Thursday, May 21st, 2009WHAT AND WHEN?
Ok, now, what are you trying to get done and by what date. We already determined you want to look sexier. Great! Now we need to figure out what your objective goals will be needed in order to accomplish this and by what date.
In order to figure out, or track, the progress to ‘the what’ I have come up with 3 cost effective methods.
1. Weighing on a scale. This is the least important, but it gives you a number that you can obviously track. Losing weight, and only tracking on the scale you don’t know if it is fat, muscle, water, or a combination of all 3. The best way to track is through actual body fat percentage. Not the scales that measure body fat through your feet—they are completely inaccurate and a waste of time and money. When you weigh yourself on the scale you will weigh yourself initially, then not again until 2-weeks later. 4 weeks works even better. Body weight is a bad indicator of progress as you are trying to lose body fat and build lean muscle tissue. When you do this the scale might not change too much as muscle weighs more than fat. If the scale is too de-motivating for you don’t use it all. Try #2 or #3.
2. Dress/Pant Size: How are you clothes fitting you? This is a very effective and simple way to measure progress. As you lose fat and put on lean muscle tissue, your body will become slimmer and your clothes will start to not feel as tight. Before you start try and find a pair of pants or a dress you haven’t been able to fit into in a while and periodically try it on. By the time your goal date is reached you should be able to fit back into those skinny jeans! There really is nothing greater than being able to fit into clothes that you almost ripped when you used to try and put them on. You will feel ecstatic.
3. Digital Pictures: They don’t lie. You see everything in a picture. Big belly, hips, thighs, butt, arms, face. A picture will show you what’s wrong. If you want to look better naked then a picture is the best tracker you can use. When you take a before picture, you are telling yourself and everybody that ‘this is me on such and such date—look how awesome I look now!’ When you take this picture make sure you are wearing clothes you want to look good in the future- by your goal date. So maybe take the picture in a pair of pants or dress that you want to fit into mentioned in #2. Maybe it’s a tank top, or bikini, or bathing suit. If you want to look good naked, take it naked (just don’t put it on Flickr). Make sure when you take it you use similar lighting and take a front, both sides, and a back picture. Believe me, once you reach your goal these before pictures are going to be a trophy for you. You must do this if you are absolutely serious.
Columbus Bootcamp Instructor tells you how to get results from your weight loss program
Wednesday, May 20th, 2009I have helped a whole lot of people get into the best shape of their lives. Weather they wanted to lose weight/body fat, improve conditioning, performance, energy levels, or just feel better overall I have done it. So I know what it takes for people to lose unwanted body fat and look better naked faster than most. A big reason for this is the fact that I incorporate nutrition along with exercise. A lot of trainers are all about exercise and don’t give or have a nutritional system in place. Nutrition is by far the most important aspect in the fat loss game. But when combined with exercise your results will be even more profound. I’m going to share some things with you today that must be in place before you start a fitness and nutrition program.
So how do I manage to help my client’s get the results they seek? It’s not just my incredible nutrition and bootcamp system. It works, yes. But you have to be able to start. That’s the most important aspect. If you never start, you will never see results. After you start you need to stick with it. So it really comes down to goals. Making them, following through with them, and achieving them.
Before I start with the process needed to set goals, I know a lot of you will stop reading now. But let me stress, that goal setting is not a useless, time-wasting thing. The most successful people in life will set goals, daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly. And I’m not just talking about weight loss; I’m talking overall success in life– Business, family, friends, social, money, fitness, and fun! Goals allow you to plan for roadblocks, and give you your map to success. Without a map you will get lost. That’s why most people give up on their New Year’s resolution soon after the New Year– They have no map. So let’s start, shall we?
WHY- WHAT REASON ARE YOU DOING THIS?
NO- You can’t just say ‘ you want to lose weight’. That is unacceptable. If you come to me, I already know that. I need to know the real reason. I need to know why you are going to all of sudden start a fitness and nutrition program and commit to it, when you haven’t been able to in the past.
Everybody wants to feel good about themselves, and look sexy. It’s probably the #1 motivator of people out there (although it should be getting healthy). Most people want to look better to the opposite sex. It’s human nature.
So write out the real reason you want to do this. ‘I want to lose weight because ______”. It can be any reason really. You want to fit into a pair of jeans you haven’t been able to for years. You want to be bikini ready. You want to lose that gut. Your getting married. Your high school reunion is coming up. You want to look better for your spouse. And the list goes on and on.
It all starts with the WHY. Get that down and everything after that is easier.
Is Your Body Ready For Summertime, Columbus?!
Thursday, May 14th, 2009Winter is over. Spring is almost over. Bathing suit season will soon be upon us. Have you lost that holiday weight yet? Have you put on a little extra in the first five months of 2009?
Well if so don’t you think it’s about time to change? Are you ready to slip into that bikini this summer? Or take that shirt off at the pool without being embarrassed?
A good fitness routine will help you drop 4-8 pounds of unsightly body fat. But the most important aspect when it comes to losing body fat is intensity. It’s actually the most important factor weather or not your fitness program will be successful.
Now when it comes to intensity, nothing beats fitness bootcamps. Don’t expect to come into a class full of ‘easy’. ‘Easy’ is running on a treadmill for 30 minutes strait.
Bootcamp is 45 minutes of high-intensity intervals, weight training, abs, glutes, and thighs circuits. Everyday is different. It keeps the body guessing. Soreness is common. You get stronger faster and have fun. Again– you have fun while exercising.
But where do you find such a place in Columbus?
The premier bootcamp in Columbus is Yun Fitness Boot Camps (yunbootcamps.com), based out of Hilliard, OH.
The class is taught inside a Martial Arts Studio for the morning camps and outside for the evening classes. Classes include various types of people from all different walks of life. From age 14 up to early 60′s. Men, women, children, students. Two people even drive down every morning from Springfield for the camp. Yes, it’s that good.
The camp is taught by Jason Yun, who is also the owner of the company. He is a certified personal trainer and sports nutritionist. He adds even more to classes by providing his students nutrition handouts every week, and also has a 12-week nutrition course that has helped his students results skyrocket.
What makes people try this bootcamp workout? Like the various people in the class, the reasons are also different. Some have tried the Jenny Craig’s, Weight Watchers, Atkins, and every other diet under the sun and not seen results. Others can’t work out on their own, and need some motivation and accountability. Some can’t stand the gym and the same old boring routine. For others the gym is too intimidating for them.
The first impression you get from Yun’s bootcamp is a good one. For starters your first 2-weeks are free. Next each class starts off with a dynamic warmup– body weight movements to get the blood flowing to the major muscles and joints of the body. Hips, shoulders, knees, and low back need to be warmed for the pre-planned intervals to come. After about 6-12 minutes of intervals we move into the main workout of the day. Which will vary everyday but will include at least 6 different stations and/or exercise of varying difficulty. But all exercises are easily modified for beginners.
The program is guaranteed or your money back.
The next class starts May 26th. Spots will be limited for new campers and it is a first-come, first-served basis. So register online on soon as you can.
Visit http://www.yunbootcamps.com/specialoffer.html to register for 2-weeks free of Yun Fitness Bootcamps. Jason Yun is a certified strength and conditioning specialist and sports nutritionist. He is the owner of Yun Strength and Fitness Systems, LLC where he has helped 100′s of people get into the best shape of their lives.
