Orange County Boot Camp for Women ~ April 27-May 22nd camp session

Thursday, April 23, 2009

A message from the desk of Dr. John Spencer Ellis

Hello and good day to you!

Here’s a short message to enhance your life and keep you informed about upcoming events.

First, I want to thank ALL OF YOU who came out to our special Saturday Adventure Boot Camp. We had a huge turnout and everyone had fun. I will have photos and video posted online very soon!

I wanted to share a simple concept with you that will help you ACHIEVE ANY GOAL you have in life.

It’s real simple… here we go! You cannot have internal conflict in your goals and beliefs.

Examples:

You cannot have a goal of a fit body, and also have a belief that exercise is hard work.

You cannot attain a large amount of wealth if you think wealthy people are selfish. If you really think that, why would you ever want to be wealthy?

You cannot have a successful relationship if you think a relationship doesn’t allow you to become “more of a person” than you are without it.

You cannot make wise food choices to enhance your health if you also tell yourself that healthy foods are not tasty.

So, in short, pause for a moment and assess. Do you have any conflicting beliefs or values which hold you back? If you find they exist, get to the root of the negative believe and learn why the conflict exists. Once you do, you will quickly find yourself moving towards your goals with a smile on your face. I can coach you on these challenges and goals with The Compass Coaching Program.

The Next Orange County Adventure Boot Camp begins on Monday, April 27. Yes, that is this coming Monday!

I spoke with two ladies at our Saturday camp and they told me how they BOTH lost 15 pounds of fat with Adventure Boot Camp. Good for you ladies! Way to go!

Hey, it’s warm and beautiful outside! Quit hiding your arms and legs. Make them firm and hot……… and then strut it!

Now is the time.

And, remember, we now have a Ladera Ranch location to better serve you. Spaces are going quickly. Make it happen. http://www.ocbootcamp.com

And, finally, I want to personally invite you and a friend to attend The Lifestyle Designers LIVE event in Newport Beach on Saturday, May 2. It’s all about your home and body! Join Kelli Ellis and me for 4 hours of life changing information.

Kelli is a celebrity interior designer from HGTV (Take Over My Makeover), TLC (Clean Sweep) and Bravo (The Real Housewives). She will teach you how to make over your home for pennies on the dollar. You’ll learn how to make your home into your haven. Your home will be more functional and beautiful, which, in turn, will make you more successful in all areas of life.
http://www.thelifestyledesigners.net

I will teach you how all of my secrets for fat loss, sculpted abs, and a body ready for summer.

Bring your friends and have a blast.

Enjoy your day.

Be well!

John

Orange County Fitness and Weight Loss Programs from Adventure Boot Camp and John Spencer Ellis

Orange County Fitness and Weight Loss Programs from Adventure Boot Camp and John Spencer Ellis


From the desk of Dr. John Spencer Ellis and Adventure Boot Camp

Here we are… it’s spring. It’s the time to refresh and renew. Your body has to be part of that renewal. I’d like to take just a moment to share some fast, easy and effective tips for getting your body strong, healthy and lean in record time. Are you ready? Here we go…

1. Switch to organic foods when and where possible. Toxins and chemicals in traditionally grown foods cause inflammation and allergies. Puffy = Added Weight

2. Be consistent with your approach to exercise. All too often, I have seen people slide backwards because of an “on and off” approach to exercise and proper eating.

3. Follow these simple rules to improve sleep quality: create a ritual before you go to bed such a bath, reading, breathing exercises, meditation or gentle stretching; keep your room about 65 degrees and 65% humidity; have your room as dark as possible; remove electronics from your bedroom – the lights AND the electronic waves BOTH inhibit melatonin. Melatonin is what allows you to get to the deepest levels of sleep.

4. Increase Omega 3 in your diet. It is found in cold water fish such as salmon. It can also be found in plants sources such as soy. You can easily supplement Omega 3 in pill form. Omega 3 has so many health benefits; you are crazy not to take advantage of it. Benefits include heart health, brain health, skin health, inflammation reduction and many others. Get going!

5. Get curious! If you don’t have the answers, go get them. Rely on a source you trust and ask all the questions you’ve always wanted to know. I always welcome your questions and comments. You can email me directly at johnspencerellis@gmail.com
I want to make you aware of all the resources that I have created for you to get in the best shape of your life this spring. I’ve been here for you since 1992 and I’m still here to answer your questions and guide you to the highest levels of health and fitness.

My world-class team of Adventure Boot Camp instructors are all joining together to teach a BOOT CAMP MEGA CLASS at the Irvine Spectrum Center on Saturday, April 18th, 8:15 AM. Sign up online at http://www.ocbootcamp.com. Tell your friends now because space is very limited and we’re already 70% full.

Remember, our next Adventure Boot camp 4-week session is coming up fast. Did you know that Adventure Boot Camp is the original boot camp workout program that started the entire fitness boot camp craze around the world? It’s true! It began back in January of 2000. So, you are working with an industry leader and originator. You are in good hands. Your next session begins on April 27th. You can register for your location of choice at http://www.ocbootcamp.com.

If you are ready for a fun and complimentary LIVE EVENT to enhance your life, please join me and Kelli Ellis (HGTV) for The Lifestyle designers LIVE in Newport Beach on May 2, 2009. You will learn the best ways to enhance your home with “Dollar Wise Design” and my new “Rapid Body Makeover”. You must enroll for this quickly because we only have a few seats left. We are also surprised it has filled so quickly. Make sure all of your friends sign up individually. Each person must be counted. Do it right now! http://www.thelifestyledesigners.net

Finally, DietGuru is a weight management program that is used by hundreds of people who – not so long ago – used to be a lot heavier. What is their secret? They use Diet Guru to easily acquire the power to take command of their diet. It really couldn’t be any easier. Here is where it all happens… http://www.dietguru.com

Remember, I’m always here to answer your questions and help you discover your ideal health and well-defined body.

Be well,

John
