7 Ways To Make Pounds “FALL” Off!
7 Ways To Make Pounds “FALL” Off!
These are large categories of techniques to make pounds fall off. A change in one of these areas can start weight loss. If you use them all I can’t imagine weight loss not being guaranteed. We work on all these methods in our programs.
Environment Manipulation
This is as complicated as changing who you hang out with to as simple as putting your candy dish on the other side of the room. The king of this Category is Brian Wansink, PhD and food researcher at Cornell. We have recommended his books on our website www.talltrainer.com. The basic premise is to make good things easier and more appealing to do and bad things harder and less appealing. Veggies and fruit on the counter top and ice cream in the basement freezer are a couple more quick ideas.
Eliminate Foods
Most “diets” are based on this idea. You stop eating _______, whatever the blank is. People cut, carbs, sugar, fat, processed foods, fast food, Dairy, etc. By...
I was very down on myself!
Before doing the Tall Trainer Boot Camp I was very over weight, living a sedentary life, eating all the wrong foods and very down on myself. I had no motivation to take care of myself and was already diagnosed as type II diabetic.
Then at my yearly doctors visit, I was told that my blood pressure was high and that my cholesterol was not good and that I needed to take meds for that in addition to my diabetes medication. That is when I realized I needed to make a change.
A friend suggested I try the Tall Trainer Boot Camp. I was very scared at first because I was heavy and had been so sedentary for so long in addition to having a bad hip issue but decided to give it a try. It was the best decision I have ever made!
The people at Tall Trainer are all so wonderful and they helped me modify different things during our workouts if my hip was acting up. Each time I came to class I realized how much these people cared about me and wanted me to succeed....

MORE THAN A NUMBER ON THE SCALE
MORE THAN A NUMBER ON THE SCALE
One of the hardest obstacles of boot camp for me was the SCALE. I was (and some days still am) a person whose day was ruled by the number on the scale.
My back-story:
I was a “solid” kid who was much larger than the other girls in my class. In the 3rdgrade I became very aware of my body being bigger. My “dieting” began that year. But I was clueless and I also loved sugar. I steadily gained weight and THEN came high school! My freshman year in gym class, we all had to stand in a line to get weighed. I had an old hag of a gym teacher who said the numbers out loud as she weighed us. To me she might as well have been announcing this over the loud speaker. As she said the number there were a few that heard it. One boy said “she weighs more than me”. I clearly remember my body trembling, my stomach hitting the floor and literally wanting...

Sarah's 35th Birthday Workout
Sarah's 35th Birthday Workout
Here is a workout we did to celebrate my amazing wife's 35th birthday! It requires no equipment and you can work at your own pace. This workout is considered a ladder. You climb down and if you have time you can climb back up again.
There are 4 exercises in each round. The first round you do each one 35x the next 30x - 25x - 20x - 15x - 10x - 5x. You can take a rest break then or go after the next round with 4 new exercises and climb back up. Round 1 5x of each of the 4 exercises, then - 10x - 15x - 20x - 25x - 30x - 35x.
If you are working out with someone faster than you, you can challenge them to climb back down again on the last set. This workout could take anywhere from 30 - 60 min. Also, you don't have to start at 35x if you aren't as sure of yourself. You can start at 20x and on set 2 just climb to 20x (or other number that feels right for you)
Set 1 Exercises - (climbing down from 35 by 5's) V -ups
Burpees
High Knees
Arm Circles
Set 2...
