Athlete Development Program

Excerpts from "Local trainer pumps up X-men star,"
- Vancouver Sun, Monday, May 12 '03

Movie ImageLocal Trainer, Steve Ramsbottom worked together with "mild mannered" Hugh Jackman, star of the latest X-men movie to help him "achieve every man's dream." Steve, worked with Hugh Jackman over six months ­ one to hours a day, five days a week to help Jackman put on approximately twenty pounds of muscle for the movie while staying quite lean. "Jackman didn't want to just look tough.so Ramsbottom, a local guy with a degree from UBC in Human Kinetics who also does rehab and special Olympics training, drafted a training routine that built his athleticism."

Ramsbottom worked with Jackman at his facility at 8-Rinks ­ the Performance Institute-a not so typical gym. While you will see the odd standard weight machine at his facility, in general, Ramsbottom feels that machines alone "don't prepare the body for real physical activity in the field. They may improve fitness, but people who then go out and try to play a game of soccer, or climb a mountain, often end up injuring themselves." With Ramsbottom's novel approach to training, "You get the look but you also get the function."

For Jackman, whose action-packed role as Wolverine included multiple combative scenes and holding a fighting pose while being suspended on a wire, maintaining both muscular size and definition without compromising athleticism was essential. To meet Jackman's needs, "Ramsbottom chose a regime that involved free weights for body building and swiss balls and balance boards for core strength and balance."

QUIT SMOKING

The Tobacco Conspiracy
Why You Have Not Been Able to Quit Smoking


Billions of dollars are at stake. Millions of deaths result. Top corporate executives sit around the boardroom and discuss ways to improve their market share. Their success depends on keeping you smoking and getting people that don’t smoke to start. It’ s all about the billions.

The tobacco companies have very deep pockets. They have spent billions of dollars in advertising over the years and they know how to keep their customers. They want you to die a smoker. Their bottom line depends on it. And you will if you do not quit.

What if I told you that stopping smoking was easy? That smoking is a body and mind addiction. Yes, body AND mind!

I don’t know anyone that actually picks up a cigarette and goes, “ mmmmm, tastes great!” Do you? Of course not. Your body rejects it. It coughs, hacks, spits, and does everything that it can to tell you this is bad stuff. You started because your mind was thinking how cool you will be, how much older it will make you look and your body is obeyed. Now you are addicted.

Everyone starts this way. EVERYONE. You had to use your mind to convince your body or you would reject it.

I find it fascinating that almost all methods of quitting smoking do not take into consideration the mind. There are pills and patches and inhalers and gums. All these programs have a very low success rate.

Doesn’t it make sense to use the very part of you that started the whole thing - Your mind?? Or course it does.

Everyone starts to smoke for some sort of motivating reason. If I gave you a piece of food that was stinky, burned your throat and made you cough and gag, how many pieces would you eat? I don’t think very many. See, it would be unnatural for you to want more.

Smoking is not natural or everyone would be smoking. You cannot grow a cigarette tree in your backyard or a cigarette plant in your garden. They are not natural. Tobacco may be natural but cigarettes are far more than tobacco with an estimated 4000 ingredients added! The list is highly guarded and protected by law as a trade secret. Imagine that. It’s the public’s health and it’s a trade secret. Something isn’t right.

But one thing that is right is the decision to quit smoking. Quitting smoking is the one thing that will immediately improve your life and the life of those around you. When a person realizes that quitting IS a Body and Mind process it makes the process much easier.

AAA Secret Weight Loss Program.

World renowned doctor discovers the secret to
long-lasting weight loss without dieting!
Dieting is About Losing Weight…
Losing Weight is About Looking & Feeling Good…
BUT, You DO NOT Have To Diet to Lose Weight,
Look Good and Feel Great!
LOOK GOOD – FEEL GREAT – LIVE LONG
Reveals A Time-Tested Way to Ditch Dieting and
Get Better Weight Loss Results in 30 Days or Less!
Look Good, Feel Great, Live Long reveals my AAA Secret to losing weight in painless ways that really work!

...With no damaging side affects—just a healthier life and weight loss that stays lost!

My “AAA Secret” is a Result of “Innovative Serendipity”!

The list is long of products and processes firmly imbedded in our culture that were discovered purely by accident—what I call a result of “Innovative Serendipity”.

Some of the “accidents” that surprised me were: potato chips, fireworks, Post-it Notes, the microwave oven, Corn Flakes, the Slinky, Silly Putty, Play-Doh, Viagra, Penicillin, X-Rays, Artificial Sweeteners, and Brandy!

I guess it can be said that some of the best solutions in life come about by accident—or serendipitously!

My “AAA” weight loss approach was a result of “innovative serendipity” too!

I never set out to develop a weight loss program! My entire career has been devoted to helping people add years to their life and life to their years—in other words, fighting the aging process to look younger longer!

I’ve spent the last several decades studying the aging process and researching ways to slow and sometimes even reverse the effects of aging!

Over the years as I coached thousands on how to look younger longer I noticed an unexpected pattern emerge – everyone that followed my advice for slowing the aging process dropped their excess weight and kept it off!

What made it really extraordinary was that when these same people tried to lose weight dieting, they failed—many of them time after time! But, when they changed their focus to fighting aging the weight dropped off automatically — and stayed off!

It turns out my years of researching and developing a plan to fight off the affects of aging accidentally (serendipitously) resulted in developing a weight loss program that isn’t a weight loss program at all! It just works better than one!

I call it my “Triple A” approach...
ANTI-AGING
ANTI-DIET
ALTERNATIVE for Weight Loss!
I'll ask you what I ask my patients...Which weight loss path would you rather pursue?

* One that has a long list of potentially damaging side effects (Dieting);
* Or, one that helps you live longer, look younger longer, and gets the weight off for good (My AAA Approach)?

Even if weight loss is your primary motivation, my AAA approach will still work better for you than any diet!

...And, if you think you’re too young to worry about the effects of aging let me share something with you…

I get asked all of the time, “When should I start fighting aging?”

My answer is always “At birth!” People usually laugh at that answer until they think about it and realize its true!

It’s a fact -- We all start dying the day we’re born!

Our only option to living longer is to start living our life wisely as soon as we can.

...And, by the way, being THINNER is a pleasant by-product of living wisely!

So even if weight loss is your only motivation, my AAA approach will help you drop the weight and keep it off in what will seem like effortless efforts compared to your dieting pangs and struggles of the past!

AND… Instead of exposing you to the dangerous side affects like dieting my AAA approach will keep you healthy and looking younger longer—something you’re sure to appreciate sooner than you think!

My AAA approach is not hard – it just requires making smarter choices!
