RESULTS Belley Beach Body MarshFIT 8 Week Challenge

It was a difficult decision.

I’ve actually had the opportunity to ponder over it for 2 months, never mind the last 2 weeks of reading essays and looking at photos.

I mean, I couldn’t vote for myself. That would be too obvious!

I’d love to give myself a hundred bucks and train for free at my own studio =) But I can’t be selfish here either ;)

I am a very fortunate person. I have the opportunity to constantly observe and guide people to push themselves to thresholds. You can learn ridiculous amounts of wisdom from people in this respect.

Information a text book or online article could never present or instruct accurately.

And our finalists were two of those people.

Two girls who really kill themselves when they train or attack challenges.

They have always embodied what Belley Fitness has been.

In terms of training they have always been go-getter’s.

They’d run through a wall if I convinced them they could achieve anything.

No questions. No bullshit. Even in fears they still try things endlessly.

Sure they fatigue and tire out as each of us would, but, what separates their approach is their focus and relentlessness. People know these girls at the studio. They speak of them often. They are cornerstones of the training philosophy of my own training.

How do you get stuff done?

You simply do it.

No rocket science. No ridiculous theorems. Nothing fancy. Simply do.

These two have always done that.

They’ve embodied the spirit of our studio and training philosophy since day one.

Not to say others haven’t. There are many other girls at men at the studio who I am and have been super proud of over the years. But for this 8 week distinction of time, they pushed a little harder. They stayed consistent and bit more. Not to cliché, but they dug a little deeper.

What separates a success from a failure?

Taking action.

What separates a winning from losing?

Consistency.

Doing the little and big things consistently right, moment after moment, more so than your opponent.

The crazy thing here is, these girls weren’t ACTUALLY competing against each other.

Heck these girls are actually friends at the studio and there is no bad blood between them at all.

THEY WERE COMPETING AGAINST THEMSELVES.

THE ONLY PERSON WHO MATTERED.

ONESELF.

Without further ado, I’m proud to present our two finalist in the 2011 SPRING Belley Beach Body MarshFIT 8 Week Challenge™:

JENNIFER GALLANT

It was time for a change.

I, however, had every excuse in the world as to why I couldn't get in shape.

I have always wanted to be fitter and healthier but there was always a reason in my mind why I couldn't be.

I am a single mother, I work full time, I don't have a babysitter, I don't have the money, I have too much to do.

I could go on and on and on.

One day I had enough. I lost 20 pounds when I lost the excuses!

I had been training at Robert Belley Fitness off and on for about 2 years. Rob always told me exactly what I needed to do to shed the pounds and feel better but I always deviated from the plan.

One slice of pizza won't kill me I would tell myself, 3 slices later I would feel awful. Finally I had enough! I called Rob and said what do I need to do?

This is how I started the Belley Beach Body MarshFIT 8 Week Challenge™. 8 weeks of eating clean and working out with Rob 2 days a week. No more excuses. Just suck it up and get it done it's only 8 weeks.

My work outs were fabulous. Rob was always changing it up so I never got bored.

Eating clean is easier then you think.

I wasn't dieting I was eating plenty but it was healthy and organic.

There's also 1 cheat day a week when you can eat whatever you want!

I started feeling results almost immediately.

I was happier, my clothes were more comfortable, after 4 weeks I had lost 10 pounds!

That was enough to keep me motivated for the last 4 weeks. Eating clean isn't always easy but as long as I stayed prepared I did great.

One trick I learned is it's just as easy to swing in the grocery store for something healthy as it is to swing by the fast food chain and grab something gross!

After 8 weeks the Belley Beach Body MarshFIT 8 Week Challenge™ has become a way of life for me. I eat clean and cannot get enough gym time in! I love my workouts and I deserve me time.

I am a better mom, employee and friend because of what I have done for myself!

Thank you Robert Belley Fitness.

KATIE SHANAHAN

Hi, my name is Katie Shanahan.

8 weeks ago I signed up to compete in the Rob Belley Beach Body MarshFIT 8 Week Challenge™.

I am a person who has always struggled with losing weight and inches and I have suffered
emotionally because of it. Before starting this challenge I always put in the physical effort of training and working out, but never saw the results I was looking for because I just could not get my diet under control.

Day after day I would kill myself with cardio and weight training and for what, so I could have that ice cream that cancelled out all my hard work. Then I would wonder why my body wasn’t changing and why I couldn’t stand to look at myself in the mirror. I despised myself for what I was doing to my body.

Then Rob comes up with the MarshFIT 8 Week Challenge™ and I said this is it, this is what is going to get be on track to the person I have always dreamed of being.

I took this as a challenge, not against everyone else, but a challenge against myself and to beat the person who has held me back for so many years.

8 weeks ago I would train about 3 times a week and eat whatever I wanted to. I was depressed with very little energy. It was a hard 8 weeks fighting cravings, headaches, irritability, and planning out the right meals, but I got through it with a lot of determination.

Now here I am 8 weeks later 2.3 inches smaller in my waist and 5lbs lighter.

I am more energized and motivated.

I am eating a much healthier diet that consists of everything being organic and natural.

I am training 2 times a week and the rest of the days I do interval training for cardio.

I am eating food that is good for me but also taste great and I enjoy eating it.

I never used to eat 3 meals a day, but now I eat breakfast, lunch and dinner with snacks in between to keep me energized throughout the day. Even though the Belley Beach Body MarshFIT 8 Week Challenge™ is over, my personal challenge and journey to a happier fitter me is still in motion.

I am going to continue on the track that I have set forth and I have done that by extending my 8 weeks to 12 weeks and I am now on week 10.

I could not be happier with my results and how far I have come in such a short amount of time and that gives me all the motivation I need to never go back to that unhappy and unhealthy person who didn’t love herself.

Katie

Can you see my dilemma?

How do you pick between these two girls?

They’re fantastic women and they work so hard at their goals.

When they’re “on” they’re scorching hot! They train intensely. But intensity is what succeeds!

And they exemplify success and intensity.

So I’ve decided to congratulate them as CO-WINNERS of the Belley Beach Body MarshFIT 8 Week Challenge!

It was just too difficult a decision and they both truly earned it!

In fact they will be, no doubt, and not surprising, challenging themselves in the Ruckus event at the Marshfield Fairgrounds tomorrow morning alongside me on Saturday June 4, 2011.

They’re just those type of people.

They attack. They succeed.

It’s a lesson we all need to be reminded from time to time and it’s motivating to witness.

So they each have won $100 and 8 free training sessions at the studio!

I’m so proud of these girls.

And honestly, each day I look forward to their sessions because I know it’s gonna be fun, I can kick their asses a bit J and they’re good people.

So congratulations to Katie and Jenn!!

You girls are unbelievable!

The TRUTH About ABS!! From a Nationally Respected Professional... And NOT ME

Reposted via an email I received from Mike Boyle of MBSC (Mike Boyle Sports Conditioning).

Mike has trained countless Olympians, Pro Athletes, Jane and Joe Workout Enthusiasts, Youth Athletes, Collegaite Athletes and more and has earned the credential of TOP FITNESS GYM in AMERICA by Men's Health magazine more than once.

He's an industry legend and pioneer. I've attended a few of his seminars and presentations and have enjoyed talking with him in the past.

CHECK THIS OUT... IT's THE TRUTH :)

Is Doing Abs A Waste Of Time?

I can't even tell you how often I hear someone at the end of the workout say something like "I need to do more abs, I want to get a six-pack."

The truth is that passing on a six-pack is a better way to get a six-pack than six hundred sit-ups. The key to abdominal definition is the visibility of the abdominal musculature, not the strength of the muscles.

You can do one million sit-ups, crunches or whatever exercise you want and it will have no effect on abdominal definition.

When people ask me the best exercise for abs I tell them table push-aways.

It usually takes a few minutes for them to get it. It's not a joke, it's the truth. If you want better abs, eat less and train more but, don't just train your abs.

The idea of working abs to get abs is one of the oldest misconceptions in training. This goes back to the old idea of spot reduction. Spot reduction has never and will never work. The research has been done over and over and the answer is always the same.

You can't decrease the fat layer on a particular area by working that area. That means that the guys doing sit-ups to lose abdominal fat and the lady sitting on the adductor (inner thigh) machine are both wasting their time.


Good total body work is, was, and always will be the key to fat loss.

Want better abdominal definition?

Finish every workout with some hard interval training instead of extra sit-ups or crunches. Interval training or what is currently called


High Intensity Interval Training (abbreviated HIIT) is the real key to fat loss and the resulting definition.

Interval training burns more calories than steady state aerobic training and because it is s sprint program you get a sprinters body.

Abdominal training may potentially reduce the diameter of the waistline but, will very little to reduce bodyfat.

The truth is there are lots of good reasons to do abdominal work or core training as we now like to call it. A strong core (strong abs) is one of the keys in the prevention of back pain. A strong core will help you look better and improve performance in a host of sports but, sit-ups or any other abdominal exercise will not reduce bodyfat. The fact of the matter is that crunches will lead to back pain long before they lead to visual abs.

Another good tip.

Don't do crunches. A good abdominal or core program is a lot more than crunches. Most of your core work should be isometric exercises like front planks and side planks or carries like Suitcase carries.

One of the major functions of the core musculature is the prevention of motion.


What does that mean? It means that the abdominals are great stabilizers. Work on the stability function, not on flexion and extension.


Regards,

Mike Boyle

BEST SHORTCUT TO FAT LOSS EVER

Researchers last week discovered that 99% of all study results are accurate 100% of the time when there is a product to be sold or purchased by consumers that are eager and willing to alleviate their own hopes and dreams at better health, weight management and lifestyle through supplementation, dietary changes and philosophical implementation.


This development has led other researchers to swiftly surge companies with their own studies indicating, after contract renegotiations, and through direct deposit, to show the results of a fascinating new study in which a solution to the obesity epidemic, near-professional athletic performance/potential can be reached, GQ and Vanity Fair beauty is possible and death is now reached at an age of 315.


STUDY SUMMARY:
The easy way out doesn’t exist.


SORRY :(


But! I have a formula guaranteed to work. Here it is:

Eat non-processed/boxed foods, organic fruits and vegetables, organic free range chickens and grass fed meats, wild caught fish, whole grains (quinoa, wheat berries, steel cut oats), organic cottage cheese, non-sugared flavored yogurts. There some others for the list but this will get you going towards immediate improvement.


And then add:

45 minutes of moderate-to-intense exercise 4 sessions a week.
60 minutes once a week.
15 minutes 4 sessions per week.

(TOTAL 9 Sessions = 5 hours [out of 168 in a week, 2.98% of the week])


EXPECT AMAZING RESULTS!!!

Consistent, long-term nutritional efforts.

Dedicated, repeated fitness sessions.

Positive attitude, belief in yourself.

These are a few of the tools necessary for achievement.

Add in some social support and some healthy challenges that will motivate you like the Belley Beach Body MarshFIT Challenge below and you're good to go.


But it's not easy.



PS – You can’t rich easy either.

All those millionaires and celebrities actually work their ass off to get where they got to and still do just to maintain their status and wealth. It’s true. I’ve known many.


There is no easy way!


As soon as it is accepted, the faster your body will change towards your dream vision and the more money you will most likely earn. Just saying…


***

BONUS

On Saturday feel free to eat whatever the hell edible foods you want as much as you would like so long as you’re not putting yourself in a life-threatening position through any food or liquid consumption means.

Use common sense for your own allergies and that drinking a gallon of milk in a hour or water is purely not healthy and that over-consumption of alcohol could lead to liver toxicity, stomach pumping, alcoholism and or possibly more potentially serious illegal and health devastating effects.

START YOUR LIFE AGAIN - BE BETTER

Winter is almost behind us.

As crazy as this South Shore winter has been, it’s even crazier that MOST OF US stayed holed up, eating out of boredom, claiming Nabisco, Ben & Jerry’s, Pepsi, House of Pizza, candy, candy canes, candy corn, and syrup as our major food groups.



I’m willing to bet that MOST OF US gained a few inches on the belly button since November of 2010.

And I’m willing to bet that MOST OF US haven’t been taking the necessary steps to get that NEW TO YOU FAT off your love handles, ass and under chin.

Sorry, but truth hurts sometimes.

And truth is, when you gain fat IT goes to the areas that IT loves MOST!

Not the places we love most. :(

NOW WHAT DOES ANY OF THIS HAVE TO DO WITH YOU?

WHAT DOESN’T IT?

Your Memorial Day weekend party is about 12 weeks away (3 months) and it’ll take a bit of time to even begin to get back to where you were last summer.



What?

You don’t spend Memorial Day weekend stuck inside of a pink box? To each their own.

So here’s the deal.
- Train like a Belley Fitness client
- EAT like you’re supposed to for actual fat loss
- And you win FREE Training for the summer if you do the best!

AND IF NOT FOR BEING THE BEST, WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO MAKE ANOTHER EXCUSE WHY YOU CAN’T GET WHAT YOU WANT?

The funny thing about fat loss, fitness level, feeling great, being happy and living the dream is that it is ALL ABOUT PERCEPTION.

If you believe something will be challenging and hard I PROMISE YOU it will be.

If you believe you can’t be fit, energetic and happy I PROMISE YOU: you never will be.

If you believe living the dream is beyond your lifestyle reach I PROMISE YOU it will be too.

NOW CONVERSELY, AND I PROMISE THIS IS TRUE

If you believe YOU WILL be happy, sexy and fit I PROMISE YOU WILL BE!

If you believe YOU’RE FITTER than YOU THINK I PROMISE YOU the workouts will be enjoyable.

If you believe EATING HEALTHIER, MORE NUTRITIOUS FOOD will make you fitter, leaner, with less fat enveloping those problem areas and leave you fuller, happier and excited for your opportunity to be a better you I PROMISE YOU you’re absolutely right.

It will.

I’m extremely fortunate for my passion and my lifestyle. It leads to a healthier means and it provides me the ability to experience life in a way most people cannot.
They physically just can’t.

But what would make me happier is FOR YOU to understand what it feels like FOR ME and also experience life in a refreshing, exciting, rejuvenating world.

I WANT YOU to Live The Dream.

Your Dream.

And I believe this kick in the ass WILL HELP YOU.

A few weeks ago I was tired of not eating clean after the holidays.

My conscience began to eat away at me for falling out of the shape I had been in just 5 months prior in August of 2010.




I had a great run for 2 years of drastically improving my own fitness. http://robertbelley.blogspot.com/2010/12/something-cool-happened-to-me-in-fall.html

Now I had covered my abs again with belly fat, lost some strength and my face began to show signs of wear and tear. By feeding myself terribly with ‘Natural’ products, reducing my fruit and vegetable intake and not taking my vitamins and fish oil my face literally began to show the signs.



My eyes became baggier, my crow’s feet deeper wrinkled, my eyes a foggier green, and my gum health even became affected… despite brushing each morning, after meals and before bed.

I felt I looked pretty banged up and this really INSPIRED ME to finally get this long-thought-of CHALLENGE a go at the studio for you and everyone else.

So in January I decided enough of the bullshit.

I just turned another leaf year and was ready to not only match myself of summer 2010 but I NEEDED AND WANTED to BETTTER MYSELF. I have this ‘thing’ about being a better version of myself each year and to OUT DUE my prior-year-self.

I WANT TO IMPROVE MY INTELLIGENCE

I WANT TO LOOK FITTER

I WANT TO FEEL BETTER

I WANT TO RUN FURTHER

I WANT TO CRUSH MY OWN SELF OF MY YOUTH HEAD TO HEAD

I refuse to accept that my younger self IS or COULD be a better version of me.

The ME Today is the BEST ME Yet.

I’m hoping the BELLEY BEACH BODY MARSHFIT CHALLENGE will help spur this in YOU TOO!
And thankfully I’m young enough to have plenty of time to keep showing myself up as you do too!

I’m 32.

Granted my collegiate 21/22 year old self was no slouch or unfit in proficiency or appearance.

Neither was my 25 year old self or my 30 year old self.

SO I DON’T WANT TO HEAR THAT TRADITIONAL WEAK BULLSHIT ANSWER OF
“WAIT TILL YOU’RE BLAH-BLAH-BLAH AGE”
I swear nothing drives me crazier than a cynical individual who spouts that off in terms of the ability to accomplish/do things.

Same people who will profess,
“WHEN I WAS YOUR AGE I COULD DO THAT TOO AND BETTER THAN YOU”
Who look nothing the part just years or decades later.

IT’S ABSOLUTE CRAP. AND WHEN THOUGHT SAID THE CONSCIENCE KNOWS IT.

There’s no room for excuses or cynicism. Excuses are plain disgusting and a cancer. People should feel ashamed of themselves for even putting those embarrassing ‘words of wisdom’ in front of someone who may not know any better or the like.

I feel it’s the equivalent of stealing a life from somebody. Especially if it’s someone who respects said individual. Then it’s downright atrocious what kind of impact those words and behavior can have on a developing and formative mind.

~ But LIFE IS MEANT to be lived.
~ Life is meant to be embraced.
~ Life is meant to experience.
~ Life is meant to be celebrated.

Life is meant to empower and exchange energy amongst one another and to encourage one another to create a better life.

I understand not everyone shares my optimistic view of this reality. And that is fine. But I’m hoping you do. I’m hoping you GET IT. That you too are someone who lives their life appreciating the abilities they have and the opportunities that are presented to them on a daily basis.

The ability to BE ABLE TO WALK.

The ability to BE ABLE TO SPEAK.

The ability to BE ABLE TO SMILE.

The ability to BE ABLE TO BREATHE.

The ability to be able to perform all these wonderful and organic involuntary and voluntary behaviors free of machines, braces, injections, science and any means of help.





SO WHY WOULD YOU TAKE ALL THOSE AMAZING OPPORTUNITIES and JUST TRASH THEM ON A DAILY BASIS BY EATING THE PROCESSED RUBBISH FOUND IN MOST GROCER AISLES and NOT PUSH YOURSELF ON A WEEKLY BASIS IN FITNESS TO CELEBRATE THE ABILITIES YOU DO HAVE CONTROL OVER and LEAD BY EXAMPLE so YOUR OWN KIDS and PEOPLE CLOSE TO YOU CAN FEEL ENCOURAGED TO DO THE SAME?

I don’t know.

I don’t get it either.

But I suppose that’s why I’m fortunate that my passion for life also helps me to lead by example when I need to and help those that look up to me feel compelled to take action for themselves and push harder.

HAVE I MENTIONED I LOVE MY TRAINING FAMILY/CLIENTS???

My life is rewarding and enriching. Each morning and night I have the ability to see people I care for become better versions of self at my fitness studio.

And the motivation I get from one of my clientele family do well at a particular workout or challenge brings the best out of me. How lucky am I?

I tell someone to perform a task.

They nail it.

Now I have to out due it to keep my name on the door.

I’m lucky.

So what do you have?

Who do you have to motivate you?

BELIEVE IT OR NOT YOU.

YOU HAVE YOU.

Have you ever taken a picture of yourself?

An honest picture?

I do it all the time.

Hell I do it near once a month.

And do you know what it tells me?

IT TELLS ME THE TRUTH ABOUT WHAT I’VE BEEN DOING THE LAST 4 WEEKS.

These were my latest photos.



Maybe for some people that’s being in shape. For me it’s a bit out of shape.

I CAN DO BETTER.

AND WHAT’S BEST IS I KNOW I CAN.

AND I HAVE BEEN…

Each week I take new photo’s on Saturday mornings to chart my progress.



And that’s what I want you to do.

8 weeks.

8 little weeks to chart your before and after photo’s so you can be HONEST WITH YOURSELF and get the most out of your own life before summer hits!

Do you want to feel confident at the beach or do you want to hide from the beach?

HAVE YOU BEEN TO THE BEACH IN RECENT SUMMERS?

It’s beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. Amazing in fact. How could you not take some of your day to appreciate a small fraction of a natural gift from this planet?

A teaching I learned from Bruce Lee as a child has developed my appreciation for water. In a glass it could save your life. In a wave it could kill you. Be like water. Flow within space. Appreciate it for its beauty and respect it. So be like water.

I may be a American boy cliché, but I grew up digging Bruce Lee, Superheroes, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Rocky films, Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, WINNING, competition, beautiful women, pizza, chocolate milk and ice cream because I thought they were cool and they profoundly impacted my development.

Throw in great music from the 70’s and 80‘s, some red Osh Gosh B’Gosh overalls, Star Wars films, pen and paper to create and draw on and maybe write out some emotions, lots of laughing, fun friends and taking some big risks and you’ve pretty much wrapped up my childhood: A Very Belley Life.

But despite my typical American upbringing I have been pushing to achieve and develop into a better person year to year. And I use the word despite in all sincerity with fevered respect for an upbringing.

Many people grow up utilizing their high school and pre 20’s as the greatest physical time of their life: their best shape; their best health; their greatest vigor.

By their late 20’s/early 30’s its all begun to fall apart.

DON’T BE THAT PERSON.

DON’T BE TYPICAL.

DON’T REVEL ON THE PAST.

IGNITE AT THE POTENTIONAL FOR WHAT’S NEXT!

THRIVE IN THE UNCERTAINTY, BUT ABILITY TO CONTROL WHAT IS YOUR FUTURE!

EVERY SECOND THAT GOES BY IS ANOTHER YOU’VE LOST….

or….

EVERY SECOND THAT GOES BY HAS JUST BROUGHT YOU CLOSER TO WHO YOU REALLY ARE.

SO WHO ARE YOU?

WHO ARE YOU UNDER THOSE CLOTHES?

ARE YOU VIBRANT, HEALTHY AND FIT?

IF NOT, WHY AREN’T YOU?

THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO REDEEM LESS THAN BRILLIANT ATTEMPTS AT RESOLUTIONS.

THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO TURN EVERYTHING YOU KNOW ABOUT YOURSELF INTO AN AMAZING FUTURE.

THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO OVERCOME THE FEARS THAT HAVE HELD YOU BACK AND RUN WILD WITH NEW SELF-ASSURANCE.

THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO BE YOU.

SO WHEN ARE YOU GONNA START?

THE DETAILS ARE BELOW.

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS BE HONEST.

BEGIN YOUR LIFE AGAIN!!

ACCOUNTABILTY PHOTOS

So this it...


Here is the shape I've fallen into since summer 2010.


For me this is out of shape.


And it was a good wake-up call after the freezer of milk chocolate candies and gar-bage eating led to this... and lack of hardcore training too.


Last week I placed an order for new supplements and I began accepting that I need to do a better job of BEING MYSELF (the flagship and prinicipal beach body at my Marshfield Fitness studio).


So here's what I'm doing.


Posting pictures of myself.


Now be aware they are compression shorts. I figure if I'm gonna be accountable I may as well be so to the limit... embarassing as it may be.

And this is what I'm going to do...

***1. Each meal I will tweet over at www.Twitter.com/RobertBelley which is my personal Twitter account. Kinda funny but I've had one for years... before the hype blew up!

But there you'll be able to read what I feed myself and see a pic of it through my DROID.

***2. Give some example of the session I have each day over at Twitter too!
