1. The Ultimate PERMANENT Lifestyle Change Guide - “Give a man a fish; feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish; feed him for a lifetime”.

I’m sure by now, I don’t need to tell you that the the only way to PERMANENT weight loss and a better looking physique is Lifestyle Change. We all know how to eat healthy, exercise, and how to go on a ‘diet’. But with so much information out there - how do we do this in an ORGANIZED and SYSTEMATIC manner? One which has been PROVEN to work? My BodyRedemption System is a daily step-by-step approach that teaches you HOW to make gradual changes to your existing lifestyle (no matter how hectic or unhealthy it may be) - getting you closer to your dream body.

No shortcuts/gimmicks/magic bullets here - but real advice and the exact coaching methods I use with my clients to bring about dramatic body transformations in a step-by-step easy-to-follow format. By the time you complete the BodyRedemption System, you would be skilled and comfortable enough to practice these habits for the rest of your life! Think of all that $$$ you can possibly save from medical bills 20 years down the road with a much improved lifestyle. I’ll teach you exactly how to do this.

2. No Counting of Calories

In real life, calorie-counting is very unrealistic for most of us. Imagine having to do math in your head every time you have a meal or look at a nutritional label. I don’t know about you, but I hated maths way back in school. :-) My BodyRedemption System teaches you HABITS to follow, rather than getting you to focus on what can/cannot be eaten. And we all know, that habits can last a lifetime.

If you’re hoping to get a calorie table for popular local foods - you won’t find that in the BodyRedemption System because realistically - calorie counts can vary from hawker to hawker as the preparations/recipes are different - therefore, the calorie counts are NOT reliable… so why bother counting? Any online program that makes you select your daily food intake from a drop-down list or pre-set table of pre-calculated calories are a joke.

3. Gym Membership? NOT REQUIRED.

Here’s a dose of reality for you - are you ready? If you look at the bigger picture, exercise plays a rather small role when you desire body transformation, compared to what you are putting into your mouth. We’ve all seen contestants in reality weight loss tv shows who exercise up to 8 hours/day for a week but yet see no progress at their weekly weigh-in - how is that possible? You see, you can easily ‘out-do’ a super-intense workout in just minutes with that extra-large ice blended coffee you’ve been having, for example. People have been focusing on the wrong things for far too long - and health clubs have been trying to push personal training services as the ultimate answer to your fitness goals. My BodyRedemption System will get you focusing on the things that ACTUALLY MATTER - and guide you step-by-step DAILY so that it is practically foolproof.

A gym membership CAN help, and exercise IS good for you - but so can a daily walk in the park and some basic bodyweight exercises which you can even do at home by your bed!.
*For everyone’s convenience, the BodyRedemption System does come with a 60-day workout plan for both beginners and advanced exercisers to ensure a you’re exercising correctly.

4. It is NOT a ‘Diet’

One of the top questions I get here in Malaysia from my clients when it comes to body transformation is “Can I eat rice?”. Our typical Asian diet is one where we rely on rice quite heavily - but we’ve come to associate that as being a bad thing. Over time, due to the popularity of low-carb and zero-carb diets, we’ve come to equate body transformation with a rice-less/carbless diet. This is the biggest lie of all. Though some people can tolerate carbohydrates better than others, it is simply not right and practical to eliminate food groups from our diet - it is unhealthy, and not sustainable in the long run.

My BodyRedemption System will teach you how you can manipulate your food intake with scientifically-proven strategies. Dying to have that plate of chicken rice? You can - and I’ll teach you how you can eat your carbs and still see the transformation you desire. In other words, the BodyRedemption System will teach you how to “Have Your Cake and Eat It Too”.

5. ONE-off purchase - guaranteed not to suck your wallet dry and sneakily sell you other services.

No monthly subscription, no automatic renewals to cancel in advance - the price of my BodyRedemption System is about the price of just ONE personal training session with me, or about the cost of your gym membership for 1-month. Best of all - it comes with a Money Back Guarantee - so you’ve got nothing to lose (except bodyfat).

And if you’re wondering - what do you need to be able to use the BodyRedemption System?
1. An email address.
2. A desire to change. :-)

As I’m sitting down in front of my laptop on a magnificent Monday morning here at home, with my breakfast on the side, and glancing at what I was having for breakfast (a smoked salmon sandwich) - I was reminded of what my lifestyle was many years ago.

For those of you who don’t know about my story, I led a very unhealthy lifestyle back then during my schooling days and in college. To give you a rough idea of what my eating habits were like: [click to continue...]

While most people (me included) tend to lay back during the year-end, slowing down the pace of things, spending more time with family, eating more meals outside due to the holiday season - there’s no reason why one should absolutely stop working towards their fitness goals.

Sure, this may not be the time to achieve a new personal best, but as long as you keep the weight from piling on, or prevent yourself from ‘derailing’ too far from your fitness goals - I think that the year end holidays are a very welcome and much-needed ‘break’ for us. It is not realistic and not practical to be on a super-strict fitness routine 24/7, 365 days per year. This isn’t the Biggest Loser Asia… this is real life. :-D

Food is an important part of many holidays, celebrations, family and cultural traditions. In fact, people tend to gather ‘around’ food for special occasions, and as a result, many people gain a little (or a lot of) weight towards the year end holidays.

So to get you started on the right foot come January 2010, and to help you stay on track this holiday season, here are 5 tips that will come in handy. [click to continue...]

If there’s one thing I learned at the Asia Fitness Convention, it’s that the human body has incredible potential, and most of us have great potential to really excel in a sport.

Push yourself hard enough in the area you are weak, and your body has no choice but to respond. (but push yourself stupidly and you’ll end up injuring yourself like a Biggest Loser Asia team member, but we’ll save that for another blog post). Terms like Maximum performance, speed, power, and evasiveness - it’s almost as if you were describing a 40 million dollar fighter jet… but nope, it’s our body that I’m talking about.

I guess I’ve learned how to appreciate the body in a whole new way - even the way we walk, balance, sit, jump, and run - the simple things we do everyday without a thought can be improved to create a super-efficient body if we only trained it to.

In the new Integrated Fitness Training(TM) Model introduced by the American Council on Exercise, much emphasis is now being placed on getting the basics right for an individual wanting to train to see results. Even if that person is an athlete, or just a recreational exerciser, it is now recommended that the trainer takes a look at the basics for a start, focusing on client Stability, Mobility, and building a good aerobic-base. Get these right and strong from the beginning, and we’ll be able to push our bodies harder and stronger without injuring ourselves easily.

The rationale behind this is that if one has not even trained our body to do the basics correctly, and to even just move correctly (especially for a new exerciser) - then what business do we have adding more load to the body and immediately progressing to heavy resistance training, which will only further reinforce any poor technique, postural imbalances, etc that one may have?
