Make kids eat well....and watch them excel!

I was recently caught in a very heated discussion with a mother of four, not an easy situation to be in when we were discussing the health and nutrition of kids today and I have none of my own. Luckily I was able to offer up a few thoughts and solutions that brought somewhat of a smile to this particular mother.

The gist of the discussion was two fold, primarily based around the issue of what to pack in kids lunch boxes and what to feed them, leading on from this the impact of the food that they are fed on their behavior and acceptance by other children.

My advice was simple

Superhuman with Ben Greenfield

May 11th/12th saw the first presentation of "Become Superhuman" by Americas number one performance coach Ben Greenfield at Evolve gym in Dubai, the first time Ben has delivered this seminar out side of the USA.

The "Become Superhuman" seminar addresses 7 modules on which Ben Says: "If you understand and activate the content of these 7 modules then you are on your way to live a superhuman life." The modules include: Fat Loss, Performance, Recovery, Digestion, Brain, Sleep, Hormones and are all encompassing in the pursuit of maximizing performance and life. Each module is presented in a 2 hour seminar and leaves no stone unturned.

The seminar welcomed a diverse audience with differing motivations for attendance. One attendee commented: "This superhuman course is unbelievable. Scary how uninformed we really are though..." whilst another arrived for the second day stating: "I have already been able to activate some of the information that was delivered yesterday to improve my life."

Here is what Ben had to say about the seminar:


With the vision of InnerFight being focused on enhanced human performance this workshop is another stepping stone to be able to deliver education on performance to the people of the region. To have someone of Ben's caliber in Dubai presenting a workshop like this is invaluable for all. Ben will be returning to the region in March 2013 to race in the Abu Dhabi triathlon and we are looking to put on another workshop at that time. In the meantime we will be developing an affiliate program for Superhuman trainers in the region so look out for that.

There are also other performance gurus that I am discussing possible workshops with. Tapping into these resources and having these kinds of people deliver workshops of this standard in our region is beneficial on a number of fronts.

Each module was recorded and will be available for video download within the coming weeks. For further details on this or on any future events please contact winning@innerfight.com

Personal best

Never under estimate the huge impact that setting a personal best has on your performance!

We are in an era of the fitness industry where people are looking for improvement and results and they want them NOW! Have you every thought of setting a personal best every single time you enter the gym? Well if you haven't thought about it then how can you even start to do it.
Think for a second about the awesome feeling you get when you smash your 5km run time, or your bench press weight! Does it make you even thirstier for more? Does it make you want to come back to the gym sooner? Does it give you that drive that you need? I dare say the answer to all of those questions is yes.

Lets break this down really quickly. How do we set a personal best every time we hit the gym floor? Well the answer is simple, firstly prepare yourself mentally for it, start to believe it before you get into the gym that its going to happen. Secondly understand what a personal best is? If it's your squat we are talking about and your current squat is 100kg's then a new personal best is 101kg isn't it? So don't go trying to be superman and lift 110kgs just yet!

Yes it's that simple......and like I said to my mentor a few years back when he told me to "clam down you may not set a personal best every day"........"I may not but I can sure as hell try"

Keep setting personal bests people, keep getting better, take your performance to another level..... you will not be disappointed!
