Dear Neighbor,
Are you tired of gaining weight during the holiday season?
Are your favorite "skinny' clothes hiding in the back of your closet?
Would you like to discover a fun, affordable, and effective way to beat holiday weight gain?
Halloween is the official kickoff of the holiday season. That's right. That means this wicked holiday is the beginning of the "feasting season" with halloween parties and holiday entertaining. Extra calories and sugary treats will lurk around every corner. Temptation will be everywhere...at work, at the doctor's office, the bank, you name it.
Fall is a wonderful time of year filled with family, friends, food, and fun. Unfortunely, for many of us, that means holiday weight gain.
One cannot argue that amidst all the shopping, socializing, traveling and entertaining, finding the time for regular exercise, and the discipline to stick to a calorie conscious “diet” can be quite challenging.
From now until January, you'll be tempted with the endless merry-go-round of parties and celebrations. All these extras add up, and if you're like most Americans, you'll put on between two to ten pounds by New Year's Day.
Well, I have some good news for you! You don’t have to resign to larger winter sizes or succumb to seemingly inevitable holiday weight gain. You don't have to fall into this trap.
Yes, It really is possible to enjoy the holidays and joy of the season without putting on a single pound.
I am going to share with you my MOST POWERFUL fat loss exercises and fitness routines that I use to get my clients in top shape using a PUMPKIN as an exercise tool!
Why Use a Pumpkin?
A pumpkin can be used as a weighted medicine ball. Medicine balls have been used by Professional Trainers and Strength Coaches for decades for overall conditioning, functional fitness, and “core” strength.
You need a strong “core” to help minimize the risk of injury and stress to your lower back. Training with a pumpkin or a weighted ball can help you develop the “core” strength you need that you can’t get from isolation machines at the gym.
In addition, a pumpkin is a lot less expensive than most fitness equipment. I picked my pumpkin up at the supermarket for under $4.00. Sure, pumpkins don't last forever, but they sure make a fun tool for exercising indoors or outdoors during this time of the year.
You will absolutely love the simple, fast, motivating and FUN exercises in the Pumpkin Workout Guide. I've been using pumpkins and medicine balls in my Women only boot camp program to get AMAZING results for my clients.

I Have 5 Weight Loss and Nutrition Tips to Share with You To Help You Avoid Holiday Weight Gain
Holiday Nutrition Tip #1: Eat Breakfast!
Eating within the hour you wake up is vital to breaking the fast your body goes into every night. When you prolong your morning meal on a frequent basis and don’t eat sufficiently, your body goes into "starvation mode"…bad news for your metabolism. If your goal is a faster metabolism, eat breakfast! This one tip alone can shift your body into a fat burning machine!
Holiday Nutrition Tip #2: Plan Ahead!
Those sugary treats and holiday goodies are going be everywhere you look. If you are prone to indulge, know the setting, the possible food temptations and social pressure that may arise ahead of time!
Plan ahead for what and how much you will eat at your "get togethers". Having a plan will allow you to create a position of control and create a guilt-free dinner.
Holiday Nutrition Tip #3: Control Your Portions!
Being aware of your portions will give you a great advantage when it comes to maintaining your weight. Take a moment to survey the foods before you make your choices. Try a small serving of the foods you really want and use a smaller plate for your serving. Doing so will psychologically give you the same feeling as eating from a full size dinner plate.
You'll still have the enjoyment of trying many foods without the extra calories. Don't deprive yourself of the foods you love (doing so will only increase your cravings and you'll be more likely to indulge).
Holiday Weight Loss and Nutrition Tip #4: Don't Skip Meals!
Don't make the DEADLY MISTAKE of starving yourself the day of a holiday meal thinking you can "save" calories for a bigger meal that evening. Not only will this slow down your metabolism, arriving in a ravenous state will guarantee overindulgence. Instead, start your day with a supportive breakfast - particularly something with a balance of protein and a high fiber carbohydrate.
Adding protein will help keep you full longer. You'll be less likely go overindulge, and reduce overall calorie consumption. Once you arrive, go ahead and enjoy the delicious array of your favorite foods. Since you have eaten regularly throughout the day, you will find you aren't as hungry and not nearly as tempted to eat everything in sight.
Holiday Weight Loss and Nutrition Tip #5: Eat Slowly!
Once you sit down for your meal, try to slow the pace of your meal by placing your silverware down in between each bite. You'll be able to savor your food and feel satisfied with less calories.
It takes 20 mintues for your stomach to send a message to your brain indicating that you are full. The slower you eat, the more aware you will become of your body's needs and the less likely you will overindulge and feel horible afterwards.
Here is what some of my most successful clients had to say about my program:
"I was a 43-year-old mother of three. I was soft, tired, and felt dumpy. I was running and lifting weights on my own, but was not seeing any changes in my body or my energy level. I was getting nowhere in my workouts and I needed a boost. It was time to make myself a higher priority in my life. Joe taught me how to work out for maximum efficiency. I soon started to see and feel REAL RESULTS. Those sculpted arms finally started to show! At 45-years old, I look and feel better now than before I had my kids! My body fat has dropped from 25% to 15% and I have dropped 4 sizes.
Thanks Joe!"
