by dailymuscle on May 7, 2010

Dear readers,

As promised on my Facebook page, I’ve got TWO seats to give away for an upcoming course organised by FiT Malaysia!

The Advanced Muscle & Strength Development Course

The course would help you:
* Learn how to maximize muscle & strength gains
* Correctly train & spot your clients on resistance training
* Learn the best exercises & techniques for a specific muscle group
* Learn how to manipulate protein & carbohydrate intake for accelerated muscle gains
* Learn how to design & implement your very own periodization programmes for different fitness levels

Course Facilitator: Jerrican Tan, CSCS
Course Fees: RM 720
Date: 22nd May 2010 (8am to 6pm) & 23rd May 2010 (8am to 12pm)
Location: To be confirmed

Who is this course for?

This course would appeal to both fitness professionals (Personal Trainers, Fitness Instructors, Sports Coaches, Lecturers/Academic staff teaching a related subject) AND to the reasonably experienced exerciser. To ACE-certified professionals, this course carries 0.9 CEC points which can be applied towards your renewal. So if you’ve been working out for a couple of years and consider yourself pretty experienced and want to go to the ‘next level’ - this is for you.

Who it isn’t for…

The recreational exerciser, someone new to exercise or just starting out on an exercise program
Unfortunately, it is not for beginners as you may find the course to be overwhelming.

The Good news!

I’m not selling this course for a discount, but I’m actually sponsoring 2 seats for 2 lucky blog readers. Yes, you get to go for it absolutely fully paid for. This is a pretty ‘informal’ contest, so all you need to do is:

BodyRedemption System - Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

by dailymuscle on February 24, 2010

As we draw closer to the official launch of my BodyRedemption System on 1st March 2010, I’d like to shed some light on exactly how it works. I don’t wish to shroud my product in mystery or to trick anyone into buying it without being able to make an informed decision - so to summarize what the BodyRedemption System is…

1. What is the BodyRedemption System?
The BodyRedemption System, or BRS for short - is a 31-day Online Program that uses a habit-based coaching methodology, designed entirely by me. Over the years, in my own personal life, experience, and working with clients from all walks of life - I’ve come to grasp what the biggest challenge to an individual is - lifestyle change. And as simple as ‘lifestyle change’ may sound, it actually can be a bit overwhelming to implement in one’s everyday life because there just isn’t a guided method or approach to make these changes permanently - until now.

2. How does BRS work?
The system is delivered to you entirely online, via email. Everyday, for 31 days, you will receive carefully structured and well planned lessons, assignments, profound new knowledge based on cutting edge research, and life-altering material - all designed to get you to your fitness goal as fast as possible.

You will receive a daily lesson in PDF format - which you can print out or save on your computer. At the end of 31 days, you would have received the full complete BodyRedemption System.

To give you yet another sneak preview on what you can expect (in no particular order), here are some of the things you will master in the BRS:
- Consuming fat for maximum fat loss
- Kitchen makeover
- Set a fitness/weightloss goal you wouldn’t dare break
- Using progress measurements for continuous motivation
- Eat the carbs you desire and still get lean
- Meal timing - what to eat, and when
- A simple trick to avoid food rebounds
- Using protein for maximum fatloss/fitness goals
- Eating strategies ANYONE can follow
- How to shop at the grocery store for the best foods at the lowest cost
- How a professional photographer can help you reach your fitness goals
- Realistically eating multiple/smaller meals per day
- Motivation when all hope seems lost
- So much more!

3. So is it a weight-loss program?
Yes, and MORE. Being a program that is designed to effectively change the way you do things for good - how you eat, how you make food-based decisions, how you live, and more - BRS instills habits that will bring about a positive change regardless of what your fitness goals are - weightloss? weight gain? reduced risk of heart disease/hypertension/diabetes? improvement in your sport? No problem.

4. Will the BRS be easy to follow?
The BRS is designed to be extremely versatile - if you think you’re up for the challenge, you can complete it in 31 days - if you’re a little busy and would like to take it at your own pace - that’s OKAY too. As long as you complete all the lessons, assignments, and tasks - I guarantee that you’ll be empowered with the knowledge to not only change your world, but also those around you like your family and loved ones. why keep a good thing to yourself?

5. What if the BRS doesn’t work for me?
I have absolute confidence that the BRS would work for you. In fact, I guarantee it. But, if for some insane reason, you aren’t satisfied with your results - I’ll give you a full refund, AND you get to keep all the materials. What do you have to lose? (besides bodyfat)

The BodyRedemption System launches just next week on 1st March 2010 - and it costs as much as you would pay for 1 personal training session with a certified trainer. Just one small investment, for a completely revamped physique. To know more, and to qualify for the exclusive launch discount of a whopping 50% off the retail price, head over to http://www.bodyredemptionsystem.com now.

Jerrican Tan - An Interview with A Friend and Fitness Professional

by dailymuscle on November 25, 2009

In today’s blog post, I share with you guys on my recent encounter with my good friend and mentor Jerrican Tan, CSCS (Managing Director at Fitness Innovations Malaysia, FiT) – who played a major role in me finally being able to take a bold step out of my full time IT career, into the fitness business.

Catching up over dinner and totally unplanned, I decided to turn this into an opportunity to update you guys on what’s been happening behind the doors at FiT Malaysia, the country’s first International Standard Training and Certification Centre for Fitness Professionals – which is where I spent a lot of time when I was first getting started out in the fitness business as a full time Personal Trainer.

Today’s post is really informal, and I’ll leave out the small talk, and present you guys with the juicy bits - also… there are quite a few people out there who think that Jerrican is the DailyMuscle blogger! - well, hopefully, with today’s post, you will now know that he is not. I can’t be having dinner with myself right? ;)

DM: Jerrican, things have certainly changed here in Fitness Innovations since I last did my preparation course - can you tell us how business has been for you this year, and the changes you have seen in the local Fitness Industry?

Jerrican: Certainly many changes! We had 46 people taking the ACE certification just 2 weeks ago, compared to the 15 during our first exam held here. Yes, our country is moving forward! I am also happy that universities are sending people here. [click to continue...]
