A Happy Hello most fit, strong, healthy person of integrity in your world xx "Your Profession needs you to be Excellent!!"
PLEASE HELP ME?? I rarely ask for help so this request is very important to me...
If you are a Personal Trainer/Fitness Instructor, if you are a MAX student, if you have a "Fitness Professional"
helping you achieve your health and fitness goals OR of if you employ "Fitness Instructors", I need your help to
stop a dangerous trend...
The fitness profession has trainers, is employing trainers and the trusting general public are paying trainers who are not
qualified; people who have not completed their qualifications, they are not registered professionals and they do not
have insurance!!
BUT they are training people and being paid to do it.
An easy challenge to fix and it can be fixed fast...
•· If you are training people and being paid for it, you have not completed your qualifications,
do the right and respectful thing and complete your qualification
•· If you employ a trainer/trainers please ask to see their Qualification Certificates. If they do not
have the required paperwork, check with their education provider. (MAX will be putting ALL
our qualified International Fitness Professionals on our website. Please only employed
fully qualified trainers!!
•· If you pay a fitness instructor or personal trainer ask them and or their employer to see their
qualifications. If our trainer is not qualified and you choose to continue training with them,
at least you will know the risk and the truth
I am fighting for the Government, the Medical Professionals and the general public to give my fitness profession the respect it deserves as the number one answer for fighting fat, disease and depression and the very best way to be healthy, stay young and be energetic BUT I am fighting the small group of lazy, unprofessional, deceitful people who are pretending to be qualified and will give us all a bad name!!
Thankyou for your help, August is Awesome and may yours be even better!!
Love Rowie xx
The Joy of being alive!!! AND Thankyou for being the FITTEST, STRONGEST, HEALTHIEST, HAPPIEST person in your world xx
(ANd if you are not-why not??)
A HUGE Happy hello from Rowie xxx
Hello happy, fit strong Champion and Happy living long and strong!!
When did great food and effective exercise get so complicated? AND the more complicated we make it, the less the people who don't exercise, can be bothered!! Lets' not kid ourselves, there are more fat, sick, unhappy, out of shape people than ever in history but there is more information about food and exercise than there has ever been??? BUT...
The simplicity and long term effectiveness of...
•· A positive attitude
•· Drinking more water
•· Eating more real food out of the ground
•· Getting puffed regularly
•· Being strong (lifting some heavy stuff most weeks)
Has been lost in the millions of diets, latest fad exercise machines and opinionated fitness folks , with a Bzillion emotional convictions, all declaring, "We are right".
Please help to stop the confusion and keep it simple!! The people, who are not exercising, who really need our help, are getting tooooo fat (and sick and depressed) to keep confusing them with our opinions of whether we should eat protein or carbs, do 1 set or 3, or a periodisation, drop, set, multi-limbed, body-building program???
Let's get the ALL the folks as passionate and excited about quality food and daily exercise as my puppy dogs...They love both, everyday, everyday, everyday, every week, every year, without having to be motivated or conned into it with some false promise of a 12 week result!!
Love Rowie xx
Are you the critic or the criticised?
'The higher you climb, the more people will pull you down OR...If you have no people pulling you down, you are not climbing high enough!!"
Every minute we spend gossiping, pulling people down or criticising another person is 60 seconds we are NOT becoming a better person. And worse, the time spent pointing out faults will make us a more bitter, nasty and miserable person...
Grow up and be logical, being a nasty person will never make you a better person!!
And why do people gossip, criticise and find fault? Nice people don't do it so it must be because you are not a nice person and why not? Perhaps you don't like who you are very much so rather than tell the truth, sort the challenges you have with yourself and become a better person, it is easier to find the faults you have in other people with the goal to feel better because if other people are yucky, it can't be that bad?
A logical person understands that you cannot change another person and certainly not by criticising them or their actions, behind their back. If you really do have a challenge with another person's behaviour or actions, be brave, be courageous and do the right thing; tell them to their face!! A solution is not found by talking about a person to another person!!
And worse, with the new era of "Social Networking" (more like social nastiness), emailing, blogging, Face-booking and Tweeting your nasty opinion or criticism will now reveal the real you to the world, A person who does not have the maturity or the courage to sort their own challenges in private is not one to be respected, trusted or worse for you, employed!!
So easy to post a nasty comment, not so easy to talk to the person face-to-face and IMPOSSIBLE to remove from your life forever!! Savvy employers are no longer reading your Resume'/CV for the information, all we need is your name and Google/Facebook will give us all the information we need to find out who you really are. Including the way you treat the people who don't want to employ you, the way you dress when there is no standard, what you get up to in your part-time and who is in your circle of influence-they are the folks who usually determine who you really are. And access to what you think is private, deleted or personal is a simple computer mission by a clued in programmer.
The nasty note you post about a poor customer service experience will not change the experience or the business, it will just leave a permanent mark on your history as a person who can't handle pressure with maturity!!
And asking publicly on FACEBOOK or Twitter for the opinion of others? How many great experiences, restaurants, hotels, products could you miss out on experiencing, because you took the advice or believed the opinion of a stranger? Ask the folks you trust, not the world wide web of whiners!!
Solution: be a nice person, ALL the time. Live a life you would be proud to have exposed to the world. Treat every conversation as one that is filmed and could be broadcast on UTube. Treat all businesses and the people who work in them with respect, not because they deserve it or not, but because YOU are a respectful person. Be the example of logic, maturity and integrity!
I am sure you are the most Sparkly person in your world today!!
How much happier, funner and WOWer would the world be if gossiping, criticising, being mean and saying nasty things didn't exist!!
However, without the tough times and fascinating folks to test us, how would we get stronger, grow, learn and appreciate the FUN, WOW stuff in the world?? My challenge for us is that we are the folks that get stronger and more positive because of challenge and challenging folks, not become the challenge other folks need to overcome. Be the person who; makes the movie, opens the restaurant, writes the book, opens the business, wins the championship, does the stuff, not be the critic who writes their opinion in the paper or on a blog, or pulls down what the DOERS are doing!!
Be a DOER of great things not a critic of what other people have done!!
Love Rowie xx
Are you Mean? What does the WWW (word wide web) think?
Cyber bullying, whiner websites, gossip magazines, Facebook critics, nasty Tweets, new workplace policies to combat cyber harassment and a whole new era of school-yard meanness and immature silly folks have unfortunately become a sinister new part of our world-if we choose to let it in??
And remember that what you give out, send out, even email out, to the world will come back at you harder!!
How can we expect our kids to be nice to each other and treat each other with respect if the adults in their world have to have a, "Workplace cyber bully policy"?? Gossiping and criticism, nastiness and aggression are bad enough when they come in the form of auditory talk but luckily, said words can be forgotten and there are no records kept of the nasty things people say. Not so with email, Facebook, Twitter and all other forms of social, computer based communication.
A nasty comment typed about a person, followed by the send key, often said in anger, full of emotion and without any thought of the consequences, can end up going out to potentially and literally millions of people-AND it can NEVER be removed!!
People have been denied soooper new career opportunities because their potential employer does a Google search and finds the silly, petty or nasty things that they tweeted or Face-booked!!
And how much courage does it take to type and send gossip, criticism or negative comments about a business or a person? When you spread negativity, of any kind, it says more about you than the person you are gossiping about. Your reputation as a positive, up-front, courageous lovely person can be destroyed with one silly, angry email. If you really want to fix a challenge in the world, with a business or with a person, have the courage to speak to them in person , or at least on the phone. Writing a nasty Facebook entry or sending a BCC email to all of your friends may feel good at that angry, emotional moment but now that same ugly comment may be read years later, by a potential employer or even a potential new relationship-a person who has no time for negative nasty people and you lose!!
A superb life philosophy is to add value, not take it away!! Feedback for a person or a business is very, very valuable but typed in a nasty way to thousands of folks who cannot do anything about the challenge, wastes their time and reveals to the world that...
You are a whiner not a solution finder!! Send out positivity and you will get it back, send out nastiness and expect a life filled with it!!
be Nice, Love from Rowie xx
So you don't care what you wear??
Have you ever wondered why some people don't like you, don't respect you, don't get you or even don't trust you-before they even get to know you? Before you judge folks for judging you, if someone does not know you, what is the only thing they can judge you on??
Your appearance, your posture, your smile, your clothes, your make-up (ladies), your hairstyle, the way you smell-these are ALL a new person has to judge you on. And even when you open your mouth to introduce yourself, if you smell bad or look silly, most folks will still struggle with listening to what you have to say!!
And what if you, "Try" to dress to impress and it still isn't working?
The answer is simple: Dress to EXPRESS who you are and not to IMPRESS other people. Make sure the way you want the world to see you is exactly the way you present to the world!!
Your dress style and who you are need to be the same. If you are a funny, happy, positive person; dress and present like one and make sure your facial expressions and your posture match-grumpy face a slouchy posture won't work!!
If you are a professional person who charges top $$ for your services, your posture and facial expressions must be self confident and strong, your clothing and presentation at the top level and highest standards-chewed or chipped nails and dirty shoes will scream much louder than
any "Sales presentation" you make. You must be on time, well spoken, calm under pressure and a
non-gossiping, non criticizing, positive person. If you have been seen yelling at the parking attendant, being rude to the secretary or throwing your golf club because you duffed a shot, people will have judged your personality before they meet you and what you say is often disregarded!!
People will rarely remember how good you look but they will never forget how badly you treat them or other folks!!
So the goal is to have your personal style, your personal vocabulary, your clothes, your home, your car, your office and your communication; verbal, non verbal and written, in line and expressing who you really are!! Pretending to be someone you are not in any of these areas and people will distrust you, without even knowing why!!
Being successful and a professional is not a part time thing to do when you want to impress!! A "Most of the time professional" is as silly as "Sometimes
pregnant" you either are or your not. You must always dress, speak and be-WHO YOU ARE-in the office or at the beach!!
Hello from Rowie...
How To Be Happy..
Happiness comes from choosing to be happy and from doing happy things
Courage comes from acting courageously
Success comes from believing and you can be successful and doing whatever it takes until you make it happen!!
You will be scared until you feel scared and do it anyway!!
You will be poor until you start thinking rich
You will be lonely until you become the kind of person truly beautiful people want to be with
You have 100% chance of losing if you don't have a go
If you think you can't you never can
You will fail if you don't start
A winner is not the person who comes first...
You are winning continuously if you get up regardless of the number of falls along the way!!
Would you like some cheese with that, ‘whine'?"
We all hate listening to people whine-unless you are a whiner!! To avoid the reputation of being a whiner, whinger, whimpy person always ask this question before you speak...Will what I am going to say add value to this person, will it be positive? Will they feel better or worse after I say it? Will what I am going to say give me a reputation as a nice person or a "Whiner", a person who looks at the positive or the negative?? A suggestion is to think BEFORE you speak and if you choose to say what you are thinking, accept the consequences!! Everything you say will add or remove value from the people you are speaking to and EVERYTHING you say has an effect on your reputation. Imagine how many special people, business and opportunities you will attract into your life if people know you are a positive communicator not a whiner, they can trust you not to gossip or criticise and to always add value rather than remove it!!
Love Rowie xx
