The report is on a recent provision passed by the Ohio Senate that would enact a ban on trans fats in restaurant foods. The Ohio Restaurant Association opposes the ban, saying that it would make it tough for restaurant chains to operate consistently throughout the state.

Yun, however, reminds Ohioans that trans fats have no nutritional value whatsoever. “They’re completely bad,” he says. “No health benefits can ever come from trans fats. They should be wiped off the market, taken off the shelves (and) out of restaurants.”

Acheieve Your Goals in 2010!!!

If someone said you could do group exercise but at your own pace, would you believe it? If you were told you could get an intense, fat-burning workout without the joint-jarring hops, skips, and jumps of a cardio routine, would you say, ‘No way.’ If you knew of a way to test these statements for two weeks entirely for free with no obligations, would you deny yourself that opportunity?

Well, not only are all these statements true, but you can see for yourself why Columbus-area’s Yun’s Fitness Boot Camps can erase all doubt about achieving your fitness goals in 2010.

See for yourself in the newly released interval training vido from Yun’s Fitness, available on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C24pha1ExeM. The video shows Bootcamp members moving through a circuit of up to eight different exercises, timed with rest periods in-between. These exercises involve tools like resistance bands and kettlebells, but also include calesthenics like push-ups and squats. Circuit interval training–like what you see in this video–is key to achieving the weight loss, toning, strength-building goals you have set. Even if you haven’t set any goals, your body will respond to these 45-minute workouts with increased energy and vitality and a leaner, stronger physique.

So take a look at this workout method on video from Yun’s Fitness. Subscribe to this and other videos on the Yun Fitness channel on YouTube. And then take the step toward better fitness by signing up for your two-week free trial at http://www.yunfitnessbootcamps.com/. Don’t take anybody else’s word for it when you can see it and try it for yourself.

Not too long ago Tobacco companies were using cartoon characters to influence children into thinking smoking was cool. They got in a lot of trouble for that, eventually.

Fast food companies partner with Hollywood and have all sorts of action figures from popular movies at their restaurants.

And corporations do the same to sell all kinds of things – including vitamins – for children.

Have you ever taken a good look at the labels of the leading brands of kid’s vitamins?

On there you’ll find:

Aspartame, which is a VERY controversial artificial sweetener.

DiCalcium Phosphate, which is used in the “feed” that poultry eats.

Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil, which NOBODY needs to be ingesting.

And all sorts of artificial colors.

Does that look NUTRITIOUS to you???

Ok, I know what you’re thinking:

“Yeah, that’s great. But what other choice do I have? If it doesn’t TASTE good, my kid’s not going to take it.”

Well, I may just have the answer to your prayers. But your child’s taste buds are going to have to decide. As a proud Prograde Partner I’m THRILLED to let you know they have just released an all-natural children’s vitamin. And they’ve gone to great lengths to taste test it with kids.

But again, your child will have to decide if it tastes good or not. So that’s why you can try Prograde Essentials for Kids for FREE! (Yes, there is a small S & H fee)

12/6/09

So tomorrow I start working out with Yun Fitness Bootcamps. It’s a free full month thanks to my good friend Jennifer who participated in the AFSP Community Walk with me. She won 2 gift certificates and gave me one.

I usually HATE working out… but I’m looking forward to this. From what I’ve seen, it’s never boring and it will challenge me. That’s something I never got working out on my own.

I’m curious to see how it will go. I have to be at work by 9am, so I chose the Monday, Wednesday and Friday 7am class. That means I have to get up by 6am. That’s a 45 minute workout, then I’ll drive to work and shower, get ready and have a full breakfast. I’m NOT a morning person, so just getting up out of bed will be a challenge for me.

I’m going to post my weight and measurements every week as I do this. I have a before picture, but because it is so bad, I will wait to post it until I have an after picture also. I’m already embarrassed about my weight and measurements, so feel privileged…

Current weight – 160 pounds

Current measurements -

Bust – 36?
Waist – 31?
Hips – 42?

So basically, since I was 25 years old, I have gained 30 pounds, 7? in my waist and 6? in my hips. YUCK. I MUST do something before it gets worse.

This isn’t just a change in my workout routine. It’s going to be a lifestyle change. I will be eating smaller meals 5 – 6 times a day, eating healthier meals, drinking more water, and getting up earlier. I will be a much healthier person in the end.

Here’s to a new beginning.

12/7

So this morning I started the Yun Fitness Bootcamp. Dragged my non-morning-person carcass out of bed at the butt-crack of dawn and got some comfortable clothes on. Drove out to Hilliard in 30 degree weather and got there at 7am. And got my ass kicked.

I walked in…. Met Jason, the head of the whole thing. He was very cool and supportive of everybody, and kept me motivated the whole time, even when I started getting worn out.

The exercises he had me do didn’t SEEM like much. That is, until I did them. Next thing I knew, I was working out muscles I didn’t even know I had.

I worked with things I had never worked with before. HUGE rubber bands that fit around my entire body, using them for resistance. Medicine balls. Kettle bells. And then we did some of the oddest looking exercises. By the end of it, I was HOUSED.

I was a retard and didn’t eat before the workout. I am so used to not eating until after, since all I really do when I have the rare desire to work out is get on the treadmill. Not a whole lot of challenge there. Sure I sweat a little and my heart rate goes up, but nothing major. These workouts, however, were INTENSE and HIGH IMPACT. My heart was pounding and the sweat was pouring down my back. After the first set I actually felt a little nausea. Jason grabbed me some water and I soldiered through the rest of the workout. I felt nauseated again on the way to work, but that went away quickly after grabbing some breakfast and taking a shower.

I could not believe it. I was worn out, but felt SO GOOD. I felt like I really accomplished something. I worked out the same amount of time I always did before, yet this was VERY different from before. I could feel a difference in my entire body. And unlike so many previous years in my life, I am actually looking forward to working out again on Wednesday.

Here’s to the beginning of me looking better naked.

12/9

I’m so frustrated. I worked out today at Yun Bootcamp and had to quit 15 minutes early because I started feeling sick.

I am SO SORE and it’s a real pain. Every muscle in my body hurts. Every step I take up stairs hurts. Hell, I can’t even sit on the toilet without it hurting! The past couple days, I found myself not getting up out of bed, but ROLLING out of bed instead. And this morning, I tried to do pushups, lift weights, etc… and kept having to switch to a lower impact version of the workout because I just wasn’t strong enough.

It’s annoying because I know what I want to do, but my body just won’t let me do it. I’m mad at myself for allowing myself to get so weak and out of shape. A lot of these exercises I was able to do in Jr. High when I was taking Phys Ed classes. Now it’s a challenge for me. I should have never let myself get this unhealthy.

On the positive side, I still feel good, even with the weakness, soreness, etc. I have slept better this week than I have in years. I have been in a great mood all week, and have more energy. I even get up early without hitting the snooze button. That alone is HUGE.

So, I’m trying to focus on the positive, that the soreness won’t last forever, that I will get stronger, and get healthier. I just need to be patient, because this doesn’t happen overnight.

12/13

I have been doing the Yun Fitness Bootcamp for a full week now, and here are my updated stats-

Weight- 159 pounds

Measurements-

Bust- 36?
Waist- 30?
Hips- 41?

Yep, that’s right… lost 1 pound and ONE inch in my waist and ONE inch in my hips! Woohooo!!!

12/14

So today I had my workout at Yun Bootcamp and for the first time I didn’t feel sick!

Also, I started feeling better over the weekend, and was showing Jared some of the exercises I was doing and was able to do them much more easily. So he challenged me… his 35 pound dumbbells were still in my car from the move, and he wanted to see how fast I could bring them to our apartment, one at a time. I took the challenge, and I was pretty quick. And the awesome thing was, I was able to lift them with one hand! Before I had to use two hands to pick up one of them. So that proved to me that I really am getting stronger.

Then this morning I was able to do a lot more and do less alternatives. And I’m starting to be able to get upstairs to my floor at work without huffing and puffing. It’s awesome!

I can’t wait until my next workout. I’m so excited!

12/19

I worked out at Yun Bootcamp again this morning, and I kicked ass!

I cannot get over how much more in shape I am in 2 weeks from this. I am able to do more than before, and push harder than before. And the crazy part is, I want to keep doing it. I actually look forward to these workouts. That is so new to me, because I always dreaded working out before.

I actually got to do a video testimonial for Yun Bootcamps yesterday. I was thrilled to do it. And Jason had us to a record challenge yesterday for squats… how many I could do in 90 seconds. I did 74! I remember when I first started… it was hard for me to do just 40. Now I’m doing over 70! I LOVE IT!

There won’t be bootcamp for the next couple weeks because of the holidays, but Jason said he will have home workouts for us to do. I still love actually going more than doing it at home. Can’t wait.

12/20

Weight- 162 pounds

Measurements-

Bust- 36?
Waist- 29?
Hips- 41?

So this is interesting… I have gained weight yet lost another inch in my waist.

But, muscle weighs more than fat. And I’m much stronger than I was two weeks ago. Not complaining.

….To Be Continued

I’d like to workout, but…

Runners (and many walkers) are funny creatures.  They collect motivational quotes about running–by runners and non-runners alike–and neatly compile them into books and websites as on-going celebration of their sport.  One such quote, attributed to a runner named Sarah Condor, goes like this: “Remember, the feeling you get from a good run is far better than the feeling you get from sitting around wishing you were running.”

Maybe you’re not at a point in your fitness regime where you miss it when you skip a workout.  Maybe you’re relieved when circumstances prevent you from getting out for a run (or walk, as the case may be).  In fact, maybe you look for any excuse to avoid exercise.  I hear lots of excuses.  There must be a million reasons why people can’t get healthy and fit.  Do any of these sound familiar?

• My child can’t be left alone; I have to care for and/or drive my child to school/practice/scouts
• My schedule is too hectic; I have a big project at work/home/school that prevents me from working out, but once things settle down, I promise I will do it regularly
• I can’t workout in the … humidity/dark/cold/wind/sun/rain
• It is impossible for me to… get up early enough to exercise in the morning/find time over lunch; I’m too busy and/or I get distracted/have no energy after work
• I can’t afford a…  gym membership/treadmill/personal trainer
• I can’t be… outside in the fresh air/inside in the air conditioning
• I don’t like to sweat
• I hate to workout… alone/with a group
• I suffer from… bad knees/arthritis/exercise-induced asthma/migraines/kidney stones/a heart condition
• I’m in retail… (seriously, someone told me that just last week)

I have no doubt that these excuses are real.  Your child is too young to stay home alone.  Your schedule is unbelievably hectic (just like everybody else’s).  Dragging your sorry ass out of bed in the morning is excruciating.  And if your health problems prevent you from exercising, you should see a doctor right away.

The fact is, this is your reality.  These are the cards that have been dealt you, so deal with them.  It is unrealistic to think you can wait till the day that the stars align and everything in your life is in perfect synchronicity…and then that’s the day you’ll work out.  Because, you know what?  That day will never come.  Ever.  You want to know why?  Because you’ll come up with new excuses, new reasons why it is impossible for you to stick with—or even start to—exercise.

To become healthy and fit, you need to put aside those excuses—whatever they are—that prevent you from establishing a regular workout routine.  You need to work around them, power through them, walk ‘em off, find solutions.  You need to organize your life so that you can incorporate meaningful exercise into your weekly routine, and stick with it for the rest of your life.  You can do it.  You can figure it out.

The reality is you’re never going to get healthy and fit otherwise.

So, let’s adjust Sarah’s quote to make it a little more meaningful to you.  Print this out or write it on a sticky note to keep by your PC, in your wallet, on your refrigerator or in your Day Timer (old school) as motivation:  “Remember: the feeling you get from working out is far better than the feeling you get from sitting around wishing you were healthy and fit.”

Is Healthy Fast Food Possible?

Fitness Expert Jason Yun Explains How Fast Food Doesn’t Always Have to be Bad Food

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Yun Strength and Fitness Systems LLC

Columbus, Ohio – Fast food restaurants bring you quick, convenient and cheap meals.  They also bring you high fat, salt and sugar.  It doesn’t always have to be that way.  Jason Yun from Yun Fitness Boot Camps compiled a list of the healthiest “fast foods” available so you can stay on track with your nutrition plan.

• Wendy’s Ultimate Chicken Grill and Mandarin Chicken Salad

Avoid mayo and dressing and these are your best choices at Wendy’s.  The sandwich has 7 grams of fat.  The salad has 25 grams of fat; 3 from saturated fat and the rest are the heart healthy kind.

• Subway’s Oven-Roasted Chicken Breast and Veggie Delite

Be aware that Subway’s wheat bread is actually enriched bread so it is not as healthy as real whole wheat bread.  Also make sure not to go overboard with your portions because you think what you are eating is healthier.

• Quizno’s Small Honey Bourbon Chicken on Wheat

This sandwich comes in at 310 calories and 4 grams of fat if you go with mustard and not mayonnaise.

• McDonald’s Grilled Chicken and Premium Southwest Salad with Grilled Chicken

This sandwich is the best out of the choices you have at McDonald’s.  Be sure to get the salad with grilled chicken, not crispy.

• Chipotle’s Chicken Burrito Bowl

Chipotle is not a very healthy place to dine but if it is your only choice, this Burrito Bowl is your best option.  Get the bowl with lettuce, black beans, green or red salsa and guacamole.  It comes in at 480 calories, 21 grams of fat, 62 grams of protein, 35 grams of carbs and a shopping 18 grams of fiber.

Yun reminds you that fast food is not even as close to healthy as you get when you cook at home.  But, sometimes it is your only option.  When it is, make sure to make the best choices.

Jason Yun’s Fitness Boot Camps Offer Something New for Central Ohio

Yun Fitness Boot Camps Promise the Opposite of a Relaxing Experience – But It is Worth the Sweat

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Yun Strength and Fitness Systems LLC
4825 Farber Row, Columbus, OH 43221
Tel: 614-432-9703

Columbus, Ohio – There is something to Yun Fitness Boot Camps.  When you hear boot camp, you may think of doing pull-ups in the rain and camouflage.  You may think of an instructor telling you how terrible you are and possibly cleaning the floor with your toothbrush.  Think again.

Yun Fitness Boot Camps are different.  The camps are a no frills, three times a week, hour-long session dedicated to working hard, living a healthier life and feeling better about your body.  You won’t hear soothing music, see candles and pillows, or hear about Zen.   You will see a highly organized, high intensity workout that you are guaranteed to feel the next day.

Yun Fitness Boot Camps are hard work.  Fitness expert Jason Yun admits not everyone makes it through his boot camps.  But if you have the dedication to do so, the lessons you learn during the classes and in other materials provided will help you lead a more fit and healthy life than you ever thought possible.  You will see results in your body and come out energized, toned, and transformed into someone you never thought you could be.  You will finally see an end to the exhausting and discouraging cycle of losing weight and gaining it back

Yun Fitness Boom Camps… are fun?  The idea of enjoying a boot camp may not sound possible, especially when you are at the end of a class, trying to hold a plank position for 60 seconds and your arms are shaking and your abs are on fire.  The fun comes when it’s all over with and you realize you feel electrified and inspired after a mere hour of class and you can’t wait until next time.

For more information on Yun Fitness Boot Camps, go to www.yunbootcamps.com or call (614) 432-9703.
