For most people, losing tummy fat and reducing the fat hanging around the stomach area is the toughest to accomplish. There is a huge industry targeted at helping people losing their tummy fat. You see it every day – infomercials selling ab gadgets or diet supplements that claim to help you burn off your tummy fat. If you’ve spent money buying any of these “amazing” ab toning products, you’ll see that they all come with guide on how to diet and exercise.

In fact, probably about 95% of your time and effort needs to be spent on getting the right information on a good diet and following through with the diet, and taking time several days a week to perform strength training exercises each week.

Now that we’ve established that you can’t spot reduce by specifically targeting your belly fat, what can you do to eventually lose your tummy fat? As mentioned already, the best way to reduce stomach fat is with a good diet and exercise that will help you burn fat off of your entire body. As you lose overall body fat, your tummy fat will also go down as well.

There are some transdermal fat burners that you can apply to specific problem areas that can help get rid of fat in the applied areas. Fat burning gels such as Lipoderm, has had some success with some users when it comes to reducing fat in applied regions. However, the caveat here is that if you have a high body fat percentage, you’re not going to notice any benefit from using a topical fat burning gel like Lipoderm.

You can also use various fat burners and diet pills available on the market. Some of the better fat burners such as Hydroxycut, VPX Meltdown, Nutrex Lipo 6, and Biotest Hot Rox can help you kick your metabolism in to high gear and increase your fat burning – while you’re taking them. But what will you do after you’ve finished using them? You can’t use these fat burners for long periods as your body will develop a tolerance for these diet pills and there is also a potential to develop a dependence on these fat burners from prolonged use.

Fat loss is not easy, nor is it impossible. It takes consistent effort and determination to maintain a good diet and exercise program that will help you lose tummy fat. You will hit some plateaus along the way, and when that happens, take a step back and re-evaluate what you are doing, and see where you can improve upon to continue your fat loss.

You know, despite the exciting developments in technolog… websites… blogging… pod-casting… email marketing… SMS marketing… the humble business card remains as one of the simplest, lowest-cost ways to promote your fitness business.

But unless your business card gives your prospect a strong reason to KEEP the card, then you’d be better of just scribbling your name & number on the back of a napkin.

Why?

Because thanks to the previously-mentioned technological boom over the past decade, business cards “live” just long enough so the carrier can pop your details into their PDA or computer (if you’re lucky), before they unceremoniously toss it in the bin! So why waste your hard-earned money on something that isn’t valued, and isn’t likely to give you a return on investment?

If you want your business cards to be put to work, the biggest and most important thing you need is to provide a strong reason to call. A “call to action”. This could be in the form of a free initial session. A free T-shirt & towel with every 6 month membership. Go in the drawer to win a holiday for 2 to Fiji, with every 12 month membership purchased. Or even a free report on how to get the world’s sexiest body by Christmas, which they can download from your website (of course, they’ll need to enter their name & email address first…)

Put a value on the card. Something like, “This card entitles you to a free sports drink with every court hire”. Or “Present this card for 10% off your first session”. Give them a strong reason to hang on to your card – but more importantly, to call or come in to your business.

You can even use your business card to capture qualified prospect’s contact details on autopilot. For around $40 a month (plus call costs), and virtually zero setup fee, you can have a 1300 or 1800 number, recorded message and answering service created just for your business card.

The 1300 number links to an answering service (”24 hour message for your convenience”) where interested prospects can leave their details. You get the contact details of qualified prospects sent straight to your email as an audio file, and you can target your info packs much more effectively. And best of all, you don’t have to have someone sitting by the phone all day!

Once you have a strong call to action, use it to create a powerful, eye-catching headline. Instead of placing your company name & logo at the top of the card (which your prospects aren’t really that interested in, to be honest) use this space instead to tell them why they should call YOU.
A sample headline could be,

“FREE audio CD tells you how to lose weight SAFELY and QUICKLY – without resorting to pills, potions or fad diets”.

“Are YOU making this back-damaging mistake when you lift weights? ”

Then again, you may opt for something simple like this:

“Don’t throw me away! I’m worth $15 at your first visit!”

…followed by the usual name & contact details.

Although many fitness business owners shy away from the idea, you will be surprised by the positive results when you include a mug-shot photo on your business card. Just as relationships are stronger when in person than over the phone or email, placing a casual “relaxed” photo of yourself on your card helps to create strong neurological pathways in your prospects mind. They remember you, like you, and have more trust in you simply by having your photo in front of them. The photo is particularly powerful if you’re a personal trainer – because you ARE the product!

Why waste the back of the card? You can use this to provide details on the free widget you offer on the front of the card, or to hold various client testimonials (to reduce scepticism in the mind of your prospect), or even for the prospect to write their name & contact details for entering into the raffle drawer (for that great holiday to Fiji!) They have to come in to the store to pop the card into the barrel, which is a great time to chat with them and encourage them to purchase or grab a trial membership. More importantly, your card has performed the highly-valuable task of capturing a qualified prospect.

For even stronger qualified prospects using this method, use a fitness-related prize as opposed to cash, or a holiday (it depends upon your particular business).

There is much more that could be said for business cards – they truly are one of the most overlooked and under-utilised marketing tools available to fitness professionals.

By using some (or all) of these ideas, you’ll be able to turn your boring humble business card into a response-generating marketing tool!

This has been a really quick overview on what you can do to maximise your business card’s impact – I’d love to hear your results!

Fitness should be a key component in anybody’s life simply for the fact that it makes you feel better. It is recommended that you get 30 minutes a day by most experts standards. But in my opinion you should do at least 40- 60 minutes of exercise a day.
The Benefits Of Being Fit
More Confidence
One of the first benefits that come to mind is confidence or raised self esteem. After all when you feel good you look good and that definitely shows in a person if they take care of themselves.
More Energy
Let’s face it people that exercise have or seem to have more energy than people that don’t. Let me give you an example. If you where to do cardio in the morning before you went to work do you think your day would run smoother and you would be more upbeat for the day? You beat you would. Working out might seem like a chore at first. You might even feel like you have no energy to workout. However remember this, working out on a regular bases give you more energy in the long run.
More Organized
I am drawing from personal experience here but whenever I am on a structured program or workout regime, I become more organized in other areas of my life. Area’s such as work, friends, family and leisure time. So try making fitness a part of your life. You never know what you might be able to accomplish.
Goal Setting & Achievement
Doing any kind of fitness program will help you with goal setting. Not only that it will help you in reaching those goals. Make sure when you set your goals they are always realistic and achievable. If your goals are really easy to reach your sub conscious mind won’t mind helping you reach your goals. But if your goals are set too high, then you might look at it as a negative if you don’t reach your goal, even though your still achieving. So set small, realistic, and achievable goals and you will get to your long term goal in no time.
Weight Management & Reduction
Of course with fitness brings weight loss and fat reduction but only if you have a balanced healthy diet. Weight loss however should not be the only reason why you embark on a fitness goal. Make it part of your lifestyle, so that it is something you do whether you are happy, sad, or tired.
These are just five reasons why fitness is important but the biggest thing you should take away from this article, is to make fitness a priority, make it part of your daily life and you will have a better life because of it.

If you don’t believe that such diet supplement exists, wait ’til you finish reading this page! But first things first…

Proactol is clinically proven, patented fibre complex that is a 100% natural & organic fat binder made from dehydrated leaves of the nutritious cactus.

Fat binding is safe method for treating obesity by removing fat from the body prior to digestion. Fat binder causes weight loss by binding with fats in your stomach, and preventing them from being digested, absorbed into your bloodstream and stored in your body.

Proactol fat binder is a product that is set to become the most credible weight loss pill available without prescription online. The results of clinical studies show that by taking Proactol after each meal you can reduce your dietary fat intake by up to 28%

Let’s cut to the chase, shall we? Here are main reasons why you should use Proactol diet pill:

The natural fibre complex consists of 2 fibres; a non-soluble fiber and a soluble fibre. They both work in different ways to help you manage your weight.

When Proactol non-soluble fibres come into contact with dietary fats, it binds with them immediately to form a fluid gel around the fat making it insoluble. Unabsorbed fats then pass naturally through your body. Proactol has been clinically proven to bind over 28% of dietary fats. This fat binding property of Proactol enables you to eat the foods you love and still lose weight.

Proactol soluble fibers are highly viscous when they bind with bile acids to create a very viscous solution. This process slows down digestion and slows down the absorption of glucose. This gives you a feeling of being full for much longer and it certainly will suppress your appetite and food cravings.

Waiting Is Over – Start Cutting Out 28% Of Your Dietary Fat Intake!

Proactol fat binder is a certified medical device product for weight loss management. Itpasses all of the guidelines set by the FDA and EU Directive (MDD/93/42/EEC) and it doesn’t have any side effects!

Unlike many cheap weight loss imitations and many untested and unregulated products, Proactol is backed by no less than 5 pre-clinical studies and a number of smaller studies.
