My very own Health and Fitness Retreat!!! July 10-12 2009

2009-06-08T22:01:00.005-04:00

OMG, it's happening!

I put it on my vision board about One and a half months ago, and POOF.. it's right around the corner! It's happening July 10,11, and 12 2009 at The most Amazing Vacation Spot in Delray Beach,Florida- Crane's BeachHouse..

You know, I envisioned it just like this:

A beutiful,relaxing, and peaceful environment. Top health, fitness, and alternative medicine professionals. Being sorrounded by great and positive people who are intrigued to know the secrets to TRULY living a healthy lifestyle. I even see them taking notes on the powerful information that is about to change their lives for the better.

I also see tons of laughter, t-shirts drenched from the beach yoga and my kickbutt workouts, and when done, they are lying on the sand for a 5-10 minutes with the most serene expressions on their faces, just breathing, and simply appreciating the moment.

And Finally I envision Sunday, the last day of the weekend retreat, everyone smiling, exchanging information, thanking each other, and giving warm hugs and kisses. I feel that my mission for the retreat was completed; Everyone's expectations were met, their questions were clearly answered, and got even more than what they expected for their body, mind, and spirit.

As for me, I also learned a heck of a lot, had lots of fun, and enjoyed every single moment!

My"Truth or Dare??" Game at yesterday's Wellness Fair...

2009-05-30T11:31:00.020-04:00

So..."Truth or Dare?" are the words I enthusiastically asked as the Employees of Biotest Pharmaceuticals walked in front of my booth at their wellness fair. Ha..some looked at me with a smile, others said "Huh", others histerically laughed - I'm sure this question brought back some devious and exciting childhood memories-, while a few others just said "oh no,no, none of the above"...

I loved and embraced all of their reactions and definitely had some fun with it!!

Above, is me and the WINNERS of my "Truth or Dare?" Challege. 6 of them got my Get Fit in 6 V neck T-Shirts and The Grand Prize winner received a Gift Certificate of 1 hour Consultation, 1 hour personal training, Nutrition Plan and a $50 BONUS towards any of my personal training or group programs ($400 Value) !!!!!

Do you wanna know what my "Truth or Dare" Game Challenge is?

First off, it's engaging and makes you think outside the box! Secondly, it switches your mindset for a more positive outlook on exercise, health, nutrition, and fitness. And Third, "You think you know, but you have no idea!"...

Not to toot my own horn, but I had captured the most attention in comparison to the other booths that were present at the fair. Why? Because I made it fun! And that's the point!!

HMMM... now that I'm thinking about explaining to you what exactly my "Truth or Dare" Game Challenge is, how about this bright idea of mine instead-->Invite me to visit your company... click here-->http://getfitin6.com/contact.html ... talk to your HR manager or your Benefits and Recreation Manager!! You and your co-workers would have a blast, while at the same time gaining knowledge on how to be healthier, gain more confidence, fit better in your work clothes, and avoid getting sick, going to doctors, and losing money because of it.

And hey if you are the owner of a company, you have the Advantage and Power to decide you want to make a positive change for your Company. Your employees would be so happy and believe it or not, probably work more efficiently that week. And later we would be able to discuss a Wellness Program that is suitable for your company so this can happen:

Enhanced recruitment and retention of healthy
employees
• Reduced health care costs
• Decreased rates of illness and injuries
• Reduced employee absenteeism
• Improved employee relations and morale
• Increased productivity

Here is another fact:

A U.S. Department of Health and Human Services report
in 2002 revealed that at work sites with physical activity
programs, employers have:

• Reduced healthcare costs by 20 to 55 %
• Reduced short-term sick leave by six to 32 %
• Increased productivity by two to 52 %

And if you don't live in South Florida, consider inviting either a wellness company or a personal trainer, a motivational speaker, nutritionist, a comedian, ...the possibilities are endless!

God, I love my job!!

I wish you lots of positive energy, love, and happiness!

Coach Yari,

Detox is OVER...I feel AMAZING!

2009-03-09T20:47:00.005-04:00

Checking my email inbox and seeing people's great comments, and success stories about their Detox experience was what made writing about it and sharing it worth my while. That is why I LOVE what I do! (7lb loss by Deb: read comment on March 3rd blog, and other 6-10lb weight loss results -read Valentine's Detox Group blog comments below)

Gosh, I can only imagine what even greater results people could achieve if they also did my Online Getfitin6 program or my actual live class.

Congratulations to all that did it with me and thank you for your support!!

The hardest part of the detox for me was being in a social setting, while being sorrounded by wine, cheese, bread, and sweets. Other than that, it was an amazing experience.

I even discovered one very important thing: I can NOT have as much Manna Bread as I was having...It messes my stomach up! I had to cut back on it. I actually now realize that I am pretty intolerant to wheat.

After the detox, I began buying rice bread because it is yeast free, gluten free, and wheat free!!!
I know what you are thinking...it's a little extreme, I know. But I have that with almond cheese and it taste good to me! - which is all that matters. Most importantly, I'm listening to my body.

Brown rice and sweet potatoes also work well for me. I also found these snacks by Go Raw, that are amazing tasting and they are sprouted, organic, wheat free, gluten free, and yeast free. ( http://www.goraw.com/ ) However, I have to separate a serving into a little baggie because they are so good, I may eat the whole bag!

I don't eat more than 140 grams of carbohydrates daily. And many (probably 4 out of 7) days I will have no more than 80-90grams of carbs. 40-60 of those come from berries or fruit.

Please feel free to share your stories and write comments, it helps all of us!

Lots of Love,

Coach Yari

P.S. Check out the comment that I replied to Debi on Detox update Day 9. This is important information for AFTER detox is over.

Detox Update Day 9

2009-03-03T23:58:00.007-05:00

I definitely feel I am detoxifying my body...however at the same time I am listening to it.

Day 7 of my detox, I felt my stomach a little raw, if you know what I mean. In other words extremely sensitive. I decided NOT to drink the pills which consisted of the laxative, milk thistle, and the fiber. The next day I felt better already. Like I have mentioned to you before, listen to YOUR Body! It doesn't matter what the instructions say, your body is a much better tool for knowing what you can and can not handle.

I do feel more energetic, lost 3 lbs, not that i needed to lose any, but it's just the way it is...and many of my students who decided to follow along with me have lost anywhere from 5-10 lbs thus far. You can read their comments on the "Valentine's Detox" blog. And some have even posted recipies.

But, make it through the Detox, even if it requires you just to remain eating clean without any pills at all. Stick to it. It's only 14 days of your life. Your body needs the detox from all the pollutants that our environment exposes us to, the foods you eat, unless of course you eat 100% organic all of the time, and even then, it isn't really 100% just because the label says "Certified Organic". Think of a detox as a tune up. Your vehicle cannot run optimally unless it's taken care of. I know I'm being a bit repetitive, but at times repetition is key in order to really grasp it.

If you still haven't started the detox, I posted it just 2 blogs below this one. It explains everything I'm doing there.

P.S. New Website is almost done...You are gonna love it! And from my website You will be able to go back and forth to my blog because they will be linked.

Alright, gotta hit the sack...

gotta get up early to train my peeps, take my probiotic as soon as I wake, meditate, eat breakfast and keep on rockin' and rollin'!

Lots of Love,

Coach

P.S.S. I went back on the pills tonight day 9 but now I decreased the amount of laxatives from 3 to 1. And the milk thistle I increased from 1 to 2, just cause that's what it said on the directions. And the fiber pills, I kept the same.

My Detox Update Day 1

2009-02-22T21:22:00.003-05:00

After another long day of work (yes, I work Sundays sometimes too)of training my students and doing more changes on my upcoming Website, Finally, I am sitting down with my laptop, on my dark brown leather couch, in front of my television, watching the Oscars! (Wow, that was a long sentence)

I love the Oscars! Sitting feels great right now, I must say.

So I decided to write in between commercials about The Famous Detox Day in which over 70 people, which you could be one of them, are doing right along with me. (If you haven't read about it yet, you can take a look at it right below this blog.)

I thought the eating part was relatively easy, considering that I already eat really clean (has taken several years to be as extreme as I am), and my taste buds can handle things like Manna bread.

The only things I took out from my nutrition were:my dark chocolate, almond cheese, Olivio butter because they are all processed.

Two other things I changed were: my decision to not eat out at all during these next two weeks, along with making sure that EVERYTHING is Organic. Not that I don't eat organic, but at times I have bought Natural chicken, or conventional blueberries instead of organic.

I know that Organic cost so much more, but it is well worth it for the health of your body.

You wanna know what I ate today?

1. Manna Bread with 2 eggs and 1 Yolk...Green Tea 20 minutes after.
2. Go Raw Snack made with Organic Coconut, Organic Date, Organic Banana, and Organic Flax seeds
3. Salmon Sushi (8)with brown Rice and avocado and slices of ginger on top
4. Organic Steak seasoned with Sea Salt, Pepper and Olive oil and a side Organic baby Romain lettuce, pumpkin seeds, balsamic vinegar and olive oil.
5. Whey Protein Shake- Completely lactose free!

and ofcourse all my supplements throughout the day, and I also worked out in the morning for about 15 minutes.

My body feels awesome!!! No Stomach aches. And Full of energy still at this time.

I'm gonna' continue to watch the Oscars now,and actually, prepare for my Next 6 week Program that starts tomorrow, as well as plan out my meals for tomorrow!!

Just wanted to give you a little insight, and hopefully encouragement. My wish is to inspire as many people as possible to live a healthy life...Life is Awesome!

Lots of Love, Peace, and Happiness,

Coach Yari

P.S. Feel free to leave your comments...

My Valentine's Detox Group

2009-02-21T04:01:00.000-05:00

This blog is dedicated to all those brave souls who are doing the Detox with me after the crazy amount of chocolate that was eaten, along with a little wine drinking both done over the Valentine's weekend (I'm guilty too! haha) This was mainly what struck me with the idea of doing a Complete Body Cleanse.

As I promised to my newsletter readers( www.getfitin6.com ) and those that opted to participate in doing this 14 day Detox with me, I have written out what I intend to do, how I intend to it, and which cleanse I will be using. You will read all about it in just a couple of paragraphs down below, but first I need to tell you why I am up and doing this so late on a Friday night.

What's crazy, is that it's 4 in the morning on a Friday and I'm trying to get this done for you... I had to go out around 10 pm because I had told a friend that I would be there to support an event they had. I didn't take my car, so I did not mean to stay out this late... So please excuse my bad grammar. and flow of this blog..I am writing as I am thinking right now.

As soon as I got home I got on the computer and started trying to figure out how I am supposed to email those that emailed me back...because there are 67 of you, I couldn't write an email one by one. I mean I could of, but surely you would have started your detox late because of the amount of time it would have taken me....

In any case I am so happy to be helping you all do a detox!!! So without further blah blah here it is! :

Yey!

Detox Time!!!

Here is the Detox that I am doing and I am glad you are gonna follow along with me! I do this about 1 to 2 times a year. My body is pretty clear on letting me know what is going on. I have become more and more aware of my body over the years, whether it is feeling tired, or my hip hurts, or I have a stomach ache. Your body says it all loud and clear, I believe the body is your unconscious mind-LISTEN TO YOUR BODY.

2 Great Books to Help you with Your Detox: (Optional, but Highly Recommended)

One Great Book You may want to invest in for understanding the messages your body is trying to give you is: You Can Heal Your Life by Louise L. Hay. I feel detoxing has also to do with mind and spirit, not just body.

The other very helpful book that which I will be using as my guide for this Particular Detox is The Detox Strategy, by Brenda Watson, C.N.C. with Leonard Smith M.D.

The reasons why I wanna detox are because
1. I always need to be as healthy as possible so i can help others do the same (practice what i preach)
2. I feel a extra tired lately and having lots of stomach discomfort...somethings not right!
3. I wanna get rid of my caffeine addiction which is partly due to me feeling tired.
4. I wanna feel My 100% self...full of life and energy
5. My sinuses!!!
6. I wanna look younger for longer!! Ha
7. Because I love life and want to enjoy it to the fullest!!

Overall Detoxing will help you:

Increase your energy levels (you may be tired due to toxins), help absorb nutrients properly, help get rid of that excess weight you've been holding on to, help you get rid of waste and toxins, help your organs take a break, help decelerate the aging process, Boost your immune system, cleanses urinary tract, benefits skin conditions, purifies the blood, helps decrease respiratory mucus, soothes bowel elimination, and help preserve vitality and overall health!

The Cleanse I bought

365 Whole Foods Brand-Complete Body Cleanse. (I saved $15 dolla, make me holla) It is the generic version of Enzymatica Whole Body Cleanse. This one in particular is very gentle on the system and it does not contain any powder mixtures, which i find kind of gross-just my personal opinion. This one in particular is 14 days. Ooops...I know I had mentioned 7 but I'm gonna do 14. So 14 it is my friends, You can do it! (In the Detox Strategy book, Brenda Watson recommends doing a total body basic cleanse first, which is for a period of 14 days.)

If you can't find that brand, another good one is Renew Life brand.

This is What I will be doing Saturday...and hopefully YOU Too! (along with filming the intro to my brand new site...yippee...hope i have the energy since its 420 am right now and filming is at 11)

1. Go buy the Cleanse at either Whole Foods or any other Natural Food Store.
Enzymatica or Whole Foods Brand
Renew Life
2. Go to Grocery Store and Stock up on the following foods (mainly Organically grown) and Supplements:

1. Vitamins and Minerals , Mine is from Juice Plus, or you can get other forms such as Alive or Country life (these vitamins are made from food so they are completely bioavailable by the body)

and an additional calcium and magnesium supplement for women and a magnesium supplement for men.

2. Protein: Eggs, Chicken, Turkey, Whey Protein (best one is from http://www.americanwhey.com/ it is completely free of lactose, very low on carbs and fat, and tastes like a milkshake with only adding ice and water!) or choose one free of lactose, wild fish (preferably salmon).

3. Krill or Fish oil caps(if allergic to fish chose flax seed caps)

4. Probiotic with all strands mine is Renew Life brand

5. A good Enzyme Supplement that digest carbs, fats, dairy, and protein...mine is Enzymedica brand

6. Green Formula or Super Food Pill form for me, I dislike powder.

7. Water!! Either Filtered or Distilled, avoid tap...and add lemon to your water( lemon is a natural stimulant to bile production and helps cleanse the kidneys) Drink half your body weight at least...if you exercise double that.

8. All sorts of green leafy veggies

9. Fruits low on glycemic index..I do mainly berries (blueberries, raspberries, ) but you can also do pears,peaches, plums.

10. Mana bread is ok...it is sprouted, yeast free and salt free.

11. Oatmeal is ok.

What to Avoid or minimize...
1. No beans, starchy veggies such as squash, yams, potatoes.
2. No coffee (if you are a coffee drinker ween yourself off of it with green tea)
3. No black teas either
4. No Dairy products (if you must include chose plain yogurt or cheeses such as goat or feta..use sparingly, no more than 1/2 cup)
5. No Soy except for in the form of tempeh, miso, or natto
6. No alcohol
7. No mushrooms, broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts (can cause gas and bloating)
8. No Sugar, artificial sweeteners, artificial colorings,
9. No Wheat

(I already eat like this pretty much, but it took several years.)

Certain Things You should know that have certainly helped me with my digestive issues...I had digestive issues since I was little. Doctors would recommend pills, but I knew there was a better way to get to the root of the problem...

1. Don't drink with your meals, wait at least 20 minutes because it does not help the digestion process
2. add lemon to your water as much as possible, it helps with normalizing your pH and helps with digestion
3. Take an enzyme right before your meals
4. Eat Slowly to help in your digestion
5. Eat Small Meals
6. Try to avoid as much as possible those items mentioned above
7. Exercise!!!

Wow...so much being covered....

Alright so here is my cleansing schedule More or less!

1. 745am (this is when I awake) Drink 12 oz small water bottle. Probiotic...oh and add lemon to the water
2. 800 am. Take 4 pills of Fiber blend with another glass of water...Meditate for 10 minutes.
3. 8;15 Eat breakfast: 2 slices of Mana bread 2 egg whites 1 yolk, 1/2 cup of blueberries..Take Enzyme, Fish oil, and multivitamin 8;45 Hot green tea

These Kids WILL have Presents for Christmas!

2008-12-22T12:35:00.001-05:00

What an amazing feeling, and I will certainly Do it again...is all I have to say!

It was last Saturday, December 13,when I volunteered to wrap some " treasure boxes" for some of the most underprivileged kids of Palm Beach and Broward Counties.

I was introduced to the "Treasure Box Project" by one of my Students, and the president of this Wonderful Non-Profit Organization. She is one of the worlds best Children's Entertainer (Suzy Hammer..I love her...what a sweetheart! )

The purpose of "The Treasure Box" is to bring these kids joy and happiness for Christmas by providing a beautifully, and artfully designed wrapped boxes filled with all kinds of toys. They would normally not receive anything-Can you imagine?!

When I arrived you could smell, taste, and hear the spirit of the holidays. I felt so happy to be there because I knew that with my help (along with lots of other volunteers) I could bring children the joy and excitement they deserve for Christmas.

The wrapping was done at a local community clubhouse in Delray Beach. In the entrance of the clubhouse there was a table with all the volunteers names on it, and two happy people eager to place it on your shirt. They pinned it on me, and asked if I wanted to wrap or stuff the boxes. I opted for the wrapping. As I got around the table and past the wall that was blocking all the action, I got even more excited seeing all sorts of people of all ages so active and dedicated, trying to get all 4,000 boxes filled, wrapped, and then boxed by the end of the day to soon be delivered for Christmas.

I must say i never thought I would have had as much fun as I did... I even brought other friends to help out too!

I almost forgot to mention...

Thank You, to those of you who have bought my book "The Cellulite Reduction Program: Getting Rid of the "Dimples of Doom"...For every book sold 10% goes to "The Treasure Box Project"...That is equal to 1 box, which means 1 more child is getting a Gift for the Holidays!!!

For More info you can go to http://www.treasureboxproject.org/ or if you would like to get in Shape and help the Treasure Box Project, You can go directly to my website and order one today! http://www.getfitin6.com/

Alright, gotta go back to work...on my new site, oh and I'm having a new photo shoot in January!!

Lots of Love,

Coach Yari

P.S. Go out and Volunteer for something, its one of the best feelings in the world to give back... I hadn't done anything like this before and now I want to do it every year!! You will feel awesome!

Inspiration from "The Secret"

2008-11-30T10:55:00.000-05:00

I woke up this morning, knowing that I have to go film the introduction to my NEW website, which is being revamped! I'm so excited about the new look and how people will be able to navigate through it much easier!

In any case, I decided to pop in the movie, "The Secret"....It is so inspirational, this is about the 10th time I have seen it and it doesn't get old!

So If you have the movie, Go Now and re watch it! I promise you will get something out of it! Get re inspired!

Life is awesome, we just sometimes have a brain fart and forget.

Know that You are the creator of your life, You can be, do, create, and have anything your heart desires!

Wish You Peace, Love, and Happiness!

I WON! I WON! Get Fit in 6 DVD is comin' out!

2008-09-08T23:28:00.000-04:00

Wow! I Won! I did it like I knew I would! ...You can check the demo video link at the bottom of the page.

I just won the production of my Very Own DVD and $1000 cash! This was an out of the blue contest I entered at projectbreakout.com to become the next Fitness Phenomenon! Freekin AWESOME. I wanted it so bad, that there was no way I wasn't going to get it!

If you try your hardest, I have found, there is no room for failure! It is my desire to inspire others to do the same...go for it, do it, take that leap, what is the worst that could happen?

These past two weeks have been exhausting, but well worth it! The adrenaline was definitely pumping through my veins. I breathed, ate, and slept fitness phenom! It was crazy.

I had to enter the contest quickly because there were only 2 days left before they closed off the contest. The thing is, I could of made excuses as to why not to enter the contest such as: Oh, its too late, there's no way, what if there is someone better than me, I'm a minority, etc., etc. But, I didn't. I came up with something quick, and submitted my first demo clip "6 minute Workout"..."Whoomp there it is"...I made it to the finals! Now I was competing against 30 competitors instead of the initial 100.

I thought, "holy crap, now I only have 1 week to submit this. What do I do? Who's gonna film this? What is my fitness philosophy? Who is Coach Yari?" All of these thoughts were just going on an on in my head. I brainstormed... and brainstormed some more. I wrote all of my thoughts down, every time I had a chance to, including in between clients, in the middle of my not so restful sleep (because of the excitement), and on napkins as I dined out.

And then, I went over my ideas with friends, and battled it out with one of my closest...he certainly pushed me. He pushed me to find ME and figure out what makes me different! There it was...I had an epiphany. I broke lose. I showed ME.

My lesson? Don't be AFRAID to be YOURSELF!

I also figured out the exact type of training I do to help people achieve their results! Voala! Core Training through Compound and Dynamic Movement-that's what I do! And, in a short period of time-literally, as little as 6 minutes!!!

Now, getting people to vote, was next! A task, but Everyone was so supportive, it was amazing! I am so thankful for everyone being so helpful. By everyone voting, writing comments, and keeping me in the top of the game, the judges were able to keep their eye on me and not overlook me.

I WON!

Thank You everyone. And in case you haven't seen the latest of my winning check my Winner's Page, with My clip: In Your FACE! Core Workout

Lots of Love and Go for YOUR Dreams, Your Goals, YOU CAN do it!!!

I just Discovered a NEW Super Tasty, Healthy Snack!

2008-06-27T17:51:00.000-04:00

I'm moving this weekend and have lots to do! So, of course, I bought groceries that were going to be easy to just "grab and go".

I bought the following:

Blueberries
Deli Honey Ham and Turkey (hormone free, and antibiotic free)
Eggs
Whey Protein Powder...from Nutrition + store in Boca Raton, Fl., but you can get it at http://www.americanwhey.com/
Green Beans with Garlic (Pre-cooked at whole foods)
Genesis Bread (sprouted bread, flour less)
Stuffed Mediterranean Grape Leaves

Today, I just felt like I wanted something different, but quick, 'cause I have to get back to training my Get Fit in 6 group at 6:30 PM. And,I didn't want a protein shake because I wanted something solid.

Honey Ham Wrapped

Green Beans!!!

Prep time: 2 minutes

Ingredients:

Steamed Green Beans with Garlic Cloves(optional)
1 Teaspoon of Olive Oil
Honey Ham

I took out my Green Beans and my Honey Ham, and it clicked! "Why didn't I think about this before? ...I don't know, but the combination is AWESOME!", I thought to myself.

I then wrapped about 8 green beans inside of one slice of Honey ham, and had 3 of those. Just perfect! What can I say? I'm a genius..ha ha!

If you happen to buy the green beans raw (not cooked), all it takes is about 5 minutes to steam them, and no need to add salt...the ham, or even turkey, if you wish, has all the flavor!

I got just about 12 grams of protein, Only 5 grams of fat, and tons of fiber and antioxidants! Yey!

I definitely encourage you to try it. It will hit the spot if you want something crunchy (don't overcook those green beans) and tasty!

On the look out, Lots of Love,

Coach Yari

P.S. Don't forget that now I can Coach you in your very own home through my Getfitin6 Online Program: http://getfitin6.com/OnlineTraining/index.htm

I try to always be as active as I can. I decided to join a flag football league with my friends down in Miami....so much fun by the way! However, This experience then led to a whole other one...

A cool, sexy, black eye from a fun game of flag football, turned out to be a true "eye opener"

The black eye inspired me to do a photo shoot. Originally i thought of it because I thought about showing a strong, fit, determined and driven woman, who would physically go through sweat, blood, and tears to show her will. But the photo shoot turned out to be something else.

Little did I know that this photo shoot would bring about enlightenment!

This pic represents the complete opposite of my essence(lively, vibrant, energetic, loving, lovable, passionate, light). Instead I see a lifeless, sad, beat up, exhausted, frustrated, vulnerable,dense, and unloved Yari. ( www.myspace.com/yarimiami)

I am grateful for the photographer bringing these very real emotions to my attention. He truly "painted" the picture for me.

Its good to be aware that these negative emotions exist, and that way you can choose to go on the opposite end of the spectrum.

But, feeling is what life is about!

Experience!!!

Thank You Paul.

Getting RID of CELLULITE for GOOD!!!!

2007-09-12T13:38:00.000-04:00

I have been pretty busy lately writing my new ebook on the highly dreaded "dimples of doom" (cellulite)!!

its been quite a journey. I've been researching for the past months like crazy to figure out exactly what it is, where it comes from, and most importantly how to get Rid of it for Good!! Seriously.

85 % of women have this! but I refuse to live with it... a little fat on my body feels ok, thats normal. But those dimples had to go! I didn't have it when i was a teenager, why should I begin to live with it now? I got it over a year ago...one day just happened to look at myself in a hotel mirror-you know when theres tons of lighting and you can see all those little imperfections. I was in awwe! I just couldn't beleive how much of it I had on my body, and I'm a trainer(im not supposed to have this).

I took it upon myself to figure out the perfect remedies combining the 4 primary things that get rid of it, or reduce the appearance, so much that it looks completely vanished!
1. Exercise
2. Nutrition
3. Therapies
4. Topical Creams
and i would like to add in one very important one, which is MINDSET (a positive outlook, envisioning, affirmations, believing) this is also backed by science.

So, great news! I came up with my book that is not biased towards a single method, but rather combines the best methods all in one book!

Watch for it on my site. It will be officially for sale on the 20th of September 2007!

This is exciting, my work has not only paid off for me, but also for all of the women out there looking for the perfect solution

MY DELRAY DECISION FITNESS CHALLENGE

2007-01-20T14:29:00.000-05:00

Working all day and night to create the best and most result driven fitness challenges ever.

I got together and met for the first time this past Wednesday the 17th of January with Annette and Jeremy , founders of the Delray Decision (www.delraydecision.com) to create a brand New Program to help an entire community lose 1000lbs in 100 days! They are definately some cool people-very down to earth, genuine, and full of spirit. They could not have come up with a better idea.
So, of coarse I figured to jump in and help, and so did a lot of other businesses in Delray Beach. Many restaurants have a special menu for the members and stores have discounts...I even have a huge discount -only offered to those of the DelrayDecision. I put out all the details on my site www.getfitin6.com

On January 29th, 2007 Coach Yari's Delray Decision Fitness Challenge BEGINS. It is so result driven that I am challenging the members of the Delray Decision to lose up to 10lbs in 4 weeks! Whoever has the best results at the end of the four weeks wins My Get Fit in 6 3x a week program($559 VALUE).

Even though I have not been sleeping many hours because of the turntables in my brain are just going crazy with ideas and putting everything together on the site, it's been worth it and I feel ecstatic about the whole thing.

But, ofcourse I still eat every 3 hours and have exercised every day. "Can nobody hold me down, oh no, I got to keep on moving"..you know that song?

I feel great. I have even been meditating in the mornings which has been wonderful. Meditation and affirmations definately keep me positive, healthy, focused, and full of energy.

Lots of love and peace always for everyone.

Yari

My Secret

2006-11-02T13:26:00.000-05:00

I just want to give you an example real quick on how I got on the cover of Personal Fitness Proffesional. I literally was telling my friend that I was going to be on the cover of a magazine. I said I don't know how but I will find out and I attempted to get on myspace and tell some group forum for models about what I wanted to do and I literally imagined myself on a fitness cover and 2 weeks later, it landed right on my lap, they contacted me through people that I knew in the industry... I was literally jumping up and down because I thought to myself that I was just telling myself this 2 weeks ago and it happened.

This is how all things work. Your thoughts are that powerful. You want something bad enough and surely you will get it.

There is a reason why some people are happier and more genuinely fulfilled than others. I want to share with you the secret of why it is this way.

I know some people who know me may wonder why I seem so happy and full of joy at all times. You know, I go to teach my Get Fit in Six classes every Monday and Wednesday and I am so happy to do it and help people reach the goals they want to achieve.

Sometimes when I engage in conversations with my clients and talk about topics such as “how to think positive” or “everything that you want to do begins with intention” and they sometimes just look at me in admiration, which can be quite flattering.... Flattering because I am a young 24 year old woman that can cause such an impact on someone else’s life.

I used to get mad or angry at certain things or people. But now I am finding that I don’t get mad as often as I did, in fact, I allow almost anything to slide right off of my shoulder. Why get mad? Getting mad is a negative emotion and can does not resolve anything. Getting mad will only attract negative energy towards you.

I can honestly tell you that I attract only positive people into my life, and if a negative person happens to come along, it is only because they are seeking to be positive and happier, and that is the direction I lead them into.

You, who are subscribed to my blog, or just simply reading it, are seeking not only to get in better shape, but to also find true happiness and that is why you are attracted to what I have to offer.

What is the Secret? How is it that you can get what you want and find the way to happiness?

First, write down everything you love about yourself…do not think about anything negative. Free yourself from all the negative emotions that you have about yourself.

Everyday write more things you love about yourself.

Envision, exactly what you want, this does not necessarily have to be about your body, it could be about anything. But if your body is your main concern then write about it. In fact, write it down now. Write down that you weigh x amount of lbs…referring to your ideal weight. See yourself at that ideal weight in your mind and embrace that thought. Remind yourself of that image and feel that you are that image right now. Know that you are capable of being that person at that ideal weight.

I promise you that if you do this without a doubt you can do and be anything that you want.

I apply this to my life and this is why I am happy…happy with what I do for a living, happy with the way I look, happy with where I live, happy with the life I lead, and happy with the fact that I am helping others and sharing with them this very valuable information.

Interestingly enough, I watched the movie “The Secret” (www.thesecret.tv) which I highly, highly encourage you to own or watch. It states almost the exact things that I have been trying to teach my clients to do, which is focusing on only the positive and never the negatives. Now I have an even more structured way of teaching it and making it simpler, because it is simple.

My love for all of you and hopes that you reach whatever it is you want.

Coach Yari

August:What an exciting month for me!

2006-08-16T01:01:00.000-04:00

I have had quite an exciting month I must say. I got on the cover of the Personal Fitness Proffessional Magazine, I just did a radio on the Performance Nutrition Show(http://www.performancenutritionshow.com/index.php), I am helping a lot of people one- on one, my infamous Get Fit in Six class, I begin school this coming week to be on the road of obtaining my exercise science and health promotion degree, and I have been working out 5x a week.....and of course all those other things that normal people do: cook, clean, laundry, shop, etc.

I find ways to continue to motivate myself and I sincerly hope that I can continue to motivate you. As both you and I know, there is no excuse for not working out. The day has too many minutes for you not to be able to get in a workout. Always remember that even if you can only do 6 little minutes of a couple of exercises, it is a lot better than none. I sometimes do that when I can't seem to fit in a workout in my day, and if I can, I'll do 6 min in the morning and 6 at night.

Never work through any pain!

2006-08-11T22:55:00.000-04:00

Lesson # 1: Never work through pain because you will injure yourself worse.

Lesson # 2: When the doctor says to lay off of anything, do it! I know it’s hard, but there is a reason for it and that is because you will most likely continue to injure it.

This is kind of what happened in the story that I have to tell you written below. Basically the girl was running a race and she hurt her knee but she decided to continue and now she can’t run outside. Period.

Here’s my story:

I had a very good day today. You know why? We’ll probably a reason that you might not be thinking of. No, I didn’t go dancing, nor did I win any cash, nor did I go to the beach. But, what I did do was help someone out.

I was working out at the gym and I saw this girl that I always see in there. She is always doing cardio…at least 1.5-2 hours…crazy cardio. Either she is on the bike or she is on the elliptical or treadmill. So I casually started talking to her and that’s when I found out that she does that much cardio.

Anyway the reason that she does so much cardio is because she used to run marathons but she hurt her knee a while back and hasn’t been able to really run outside ever since. She went to the doctor and the doctor didn’t find anything wrong... so, nothing torn, nothing sprained, and her limitations were just no running outside and to lay off of it for a couple of weeks until it feels better.

So I told her that I would help her out. I told her that I am not a physical therapist, but I am a personal trainer and have been working with all sorts of injured people for the past 5, almost 6 years.

I said to her that if I wasn’t able to help her I would recommend that she goes to a physical therapist. So she agreed. I helped her stretch the muscles that I saw tight and taught her how to foam roll to get rid of the knots, which most likely play a role in the fact that her knee bothers her. After those 15 minutes I took with her she told me that she felt so much better.

Oh and I also gave her some tips on better eating habits, so she could knock off some weight and when she does that there will be less impact on her knee.

It felt so good to help someone out. I’ll keep you posted on her progress.

Salsa Dancing---Great Calorie Burner!

2006-07-10T11:37:00.000-04:00

In addition to my 4-5 x a week workouts, I have found another way to enhance my healthy living. Salsa! It is so exciting, and wow, what a workout! I am fortunate enough to have a salsa instructor for a roommate. She not only gives me lessons, but we go out every Thurs and now Sunday nights to dance. I would definitely consider this my favorite cardio and core workout. On top of it all, it is fun, so it makes me want to do it for hours and I don't even know that hours have gone by.

If you can get out there and dance, do it! It really makes you feel alive. But, of course, don't give up your strength training, because this is really what will continue to keep your metabolism going and it will keep your tone and definition. I can assure you that salsa and other forms of dancing is great, but I will also assure you that I will never give up my squats, push-ups, pull-ups, planks, or my Get Fit in Six type training--the best interval type of training I have created to really keep me in my best shape. This is why I don't fatigue at all when I go out there and dance salsa for hours.

Don't worry guys; soon this will be available to all of you so you too can be in your best shape ever! I know, I keep mentioning it, but my Get Fit in Six Audio CD is most definitely going to be the # 1 tool out there on the market to whip anyone into tip-top shape. I am making final touches to ensure I deliver nothing but the best to you.

Take care of yourselves and don't forget to read the newsletters from COACHYARI. COM'S "OUT FATNESS AND IN WITH FITNESS" so that you can read my expert advice on all those questions that have been wondering about on shaping up, losing weight, building muscle, and feeling your very best.

Your health and fitness advisor,

Get Fit in Six Audio CD ourse

2006-06-01T11:44:00.000-04:00

Yes Boys and Girls. I have been working very hard lately. The reason for it is because I wanted to be able to create a program that is easy to follow, yet effective, efficient, and intense all at the same time. A program that will whip people into shape considering all different levels of fitness, so no one is left out. I am almost done with my awesome Get Fit in Six Audio CD program that mimic my Get Fit in Six Class in Boca! So if you can't come to me, then I will come to you. I truly can't wait to be able to get this out to you. My program uses minimal equipment, in fact, most of the time what you will need is your body alone! Oh and it is as little as 6 minutes and at most it is 24 minutes and that is it. Make no mistake though, it is designed to give you a kick@$$ workout in that little time. So anyway, just thought I'd fill you in a little on what's going on in my crazy life. ...Not too crazy, you know what I mean. I'll keep you updated on it though.
Take care of yourselves and don't forget to workout today...At least do a couple of push-ups and sit-ups if you absolutely can't make it to the gym.

TTYl,

me... Coach Yari

What is better for weightloss?

2006-05-26T08:45:00.000-04:00

Hey guys just wanted to share with you some research that I am reading this morning as I drink my delicious cup of coffee.
The research article that that I am reading about talks about weight loss and how it is better achieved when comparing exercise alone and dietary fat intake alone. So basically the outcome shows that for both women and men restricting fat intake was more effective than increasing exercise. Women don't lose weight with exercise alone...So it says. Men do get weight loss benefits with exercise alone. Weightloss is greater for women who increase their workout substantially or even moderately, and again this is with restricted fat intake. Men on the other hand who are restricting their dietary fat intake and increase their exercise receive a small weight loss benefit if at all. Interesting huh? Trust me reading this research article is no easy task, I had to dissect all the fluff they add to it. I literally had to write down on a sheet of paper women's results vs. Men's in plain English so I could better understand this "caca" myself.

So what does all of this mean? I say exercise and eat healthier because again they are just talking about weight loss, not your body composition. In other words, they don't talk about the inches that you lose, nor the change in body fat %, nor how you feel. Both men and women will see a change in their body if they eat better and exercise more. Or you could chose to exercise more efficiently;) that's why soon I will have out my Get Fit in Six audio CD course. I will teach you how to exercise in less than half of the time you spend working out and with even better results! Woo Hoo!

Anyways,

Gotta go workout now.

Take Care.

Coach Yari

Oh and if time seems to be an issue for you to exercise more

Mother's Day...An excuse to eat!

2006-05-14T20:34:00.000-04:00

Yes, it was Mother's Day yesterday. Happy belated Mother's Day to all the moms out there. But, since it was Mother's Day that means that it was really family day. Therefore, it was more likely to be a family celebration. At least in my case it was because my Mom had a BBQ at her place and I ate things that I normally would not eat, such as cheetos, "pastelitos", and a burger. So this means that I have to shape up this week. I will most certainly get back on my regular eating habbits and probably even take out 200 calories such as my almond butter that I normally put on my Ezequiel bread. I will also stick in an aditional 30 min of circuit training like what I do in my Get Fit in Six class, which involves a very intense full body workout. Oh, by the way, soon you will be able to do the same because I am coming out with my Get Fit in Six Audio CD course soon! I'll let you know more details later.

I encourage you to do something a little extra this week so that way you don't set yourself back from all your hard work. Add 15 min extra to your workout if you have to. No biggie. Don't beat yourself up about it, just do something about it.

Best Always,

Coach Yari

Pretty Cool Day Today!

2006-04-27T23:05:00.000-04:00

Today I finished my Get Fit in Six Course! Wow, what a great experience this time around. Such great results…everyone did an exceptional job! I also felt that everyone became very united and became a true team. One of the exercises of today was flipping the heavy 300 lb tires! There was so much team involvement and team building. I am just truly pleased and happy with the overall Get Fit in Six experienceJ.

Before then I went to South beach and visited an agency that solely concentrates on sport modeling. I want to pursue fitness modeling as well. I find it fun taking pictures I guess.

And right now I just finished sending my clients their before and after pictures. I still have more pictures to send over to more of them tomorrow. That is pretty time consuming by the way, so I am going to get some sleep and wake up to a beautiful day tomorrow. Sleep tight.

Love ya,

Coach Yari
