My beloved business partner and friend WENDY LYNN CHANT, 44, of Lake Mary, passed away on Nov. 19, 2009 in Altamonte Springs, FL after a valiant fight against cancer.
Wendy inspired and motivated me and countless others to always strive to be better. Her discipline and work ethic served an example of what I aspired to achieve. As soon as she climbed to the top of a mountain, she would look around to find another one to climb.
She taught me that it was our duty and obligation to make sure people heard and understood the fat loss and fitness truth. I’m proud to say she was my friend and consider her one of my greatest mentors. Heaven has gained a Fitness Angel, but Earth has lost a Teacher, Coach, and Motivator whose example is what all people should strive for in life.
Here’s her story.
Wendy was born in Woodbury, NJ and moved to Florida in 1986. A certified Master Personal Trainer and Specialist in Performance Nutrition, a former marathon runner and body builder, she took her skills and founded Forever Fit in 1998.
An inspirational speaker, she took her message to those in the Central Florida area through her fitness and nutrition boot camp. She is the author of the New York Times Bestseller – “Crack the Fat Loss Code” and “Conquer the Fat Loss Code” (McGraw-Hill).
Wendy’s latest project Get Lean In 12 played on all her strengths as a visionary. By utilizing video Internet Coaching to spread her life-changing message on a global level, Wendy partnered with Body Transformation Expert Shaun Hadsall to help carry on her legacy and continue to help people Crack The Fat Loss Code for years to come.
Each of these endeavors embodies Wendy’s heartfelt mission- to motivate and help others transform their lives and their health through positive lifestyle changes with an “Anti-Diet”, habit-building approach.
Wendy was predeceased by her father, Charles W. Eisele. She is survived by her daughter, Valerie Rita Chant of Tampa, FL; her “Mom”, Ina Williams of Altamonte Springs, FL; her loving fiancé, Scott Tate of Lake Mary, FL; her mother, Doris Wilson, of Danbridge, TN, her beloved pup, “Rusty”; her brothers, Jeffrey Wilson, Thomas Eisele, Derek Wilson and Charles Eisele; her sisters, Kelly White, Crystal Casey and Gail
Campbell; and by a large family including aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews as well as scores of friends, who all will miss her dearly.
A memorial service to honor Wendy’s life will be held at Tuskawilla Presbyterian Church at 3600 W. SR 426, Oviedo, FL on Saturday, Nov. 28, 2009 at 11 a.m. In lieu of flowers, donations in her honor may be gifted to the Hospice of the Comforter, 480 W. Central Parkway, Altamonte Springs, FL 32714.
We will miss you dearly Wendy, but we will continue to carry on your name and legacy by helping people Crack The Fat Loss Code with Get Lean In 12!
Blessings and sincerest sympathy to Wendy’s loved ones,
The Get Lean In 12 Team
Every fat loss and fitness journey starts with the foundation necessary to succeed. Even though everybody wants a flat stomach or six-pack abs so they can fit into those “skinny-jeans” again and or take their shirt off at the beach this is an “outside-in” approach. If you really want success your fat burning program must have a long-term-lifestyle approach.
This means starting with an “inside-out” approach and finding your reason “why”.
We know that fat-loss and fitness are the catalyst to fulfillment in every area of life, that’s why I start out by asking you to find your reason “why”.
The one thing every person has in common that succeeds with their fat-loss program and their ability to build habits is that we all have…or had a big enough reason “why”.
So what’s yours? I hate to admit it, but sometimes it’s hard for me to talk about my reason “why” without crying because this information has had such an impact on my life.
Seriously, you can see the original before and after pictures and read part of the story right here; My Story
Ok, enough of the sappy stuff…let teach you about synergy!
After you found your reason “why”, you have to make up your mind that it’s big enough to build long term habits.
It won’t do you any good to use the super fast fat burning strategies we give you if you decide to go on some crazy diet or just want to use this temporarily to get to your initial goals.
The Get Lean In 12 fat-burning program is alllll about building long term lifestyle habits through synergy…period.
So if you want to program your body to be a “fat-burner” all day long, you need to learn about making synergy part of your everyday life…consistently.
The 3 components that create “synergy” will guarantee your long term fat loss success…so you can keep the weight off permanently.
How do you do you create synergy in your fat burning program?
By using Get Lean In 12;
Cardio workouts
Strength training routines and…
Fat burning nutrition
All 3 thing must be used together consistently to create a synergistic fat-burning effect. I go over these 3 powerful strategies in detail in the video above.
If you can synergistically use these 3 components consistently…not perfectly, the fat will melt off and your approach will build habits so that your fat-burning program will last a lifetime.
If you’re anything like me when I was first introduced to fat burning cardio workouts as a way to get the body I wanted, it was all about staying in my target-heart rate. I beat my head against the wall for 8 years straight doing 1 and 2 hours workouts with hardly any results until I discovered how to use cycling methods in my cardio, workouts, and nutrition.
Today, I’m going to show you how to apply this unique cycling strategy to your fat burning cardio workouts.
Even though the Get Lean In 12 fat burning cardio workout has always given me more “bang” for my “buck” (12 minutes) I’ve found it necessary to implement other strategies for variety and continuous progression with my fat loss efforts.
This information will change the way you think about and approach all your fat burning cardio workouts.
As we go into detail about cycling your cardio make sure you think about applying this approach to all 3 areas of your fitness program
Nutrition (up to 75% of your results)
Cardio (we’ll show you this today)
?Strength Training or Weights (You must train with weights)
Using Get Lean In 12 Cycling is one of the keys for you to have continuous fat-loss over the long-haul. It will also potentially prevent injury and burn-out that are so prevalent with over-training or other old-school approaches and other fat burning cardio workouts. Remember, this is a lifestyle.
Ok, so here we go. Again, the focus is on cardio today. There are 3 systems that you want to target in your cardio workouts.
System 1: Aerobic
System 2: Threshold
System 3: Creatine Phosphate
Today we will give you a foundation so you can start experimenting at your current level of fitness within each of these systems.
System 1: Foundation or Aerobic
Type of workout used for this cycle:
?Low Intensity, Long Duration (45 to 60 minutes)
Medium Intensity, Medium Duration (20 to 40 minutes)
Circuit Training (30 to 45 minutes)
In the aerobic system, oxygen is used to break down fatty acids and glucose to release energy. This is great for beginners and obese people. In other words, oxygen is primarily present so you can go longer.
Remember…more is NOT better. Perform this type of cardio at least once a week for 45 minutes or longer at a steady pace.
*Note: It’s also a good idea to practice this for a couple weeks before putting our famous GL-12 fat burning cardio workout to the test.
System 2: Threshold
Type of workout used for this cycle:
?Aerobic Interval Training (30 to 45 minutes)
GL-12 Threshold Training (20 to 40 minutes)
This is the intensity level just above Aerobic training and you can typically stay in this zone 3 to 5 minutes at a time before letting your heart rate come back and recovering for anywhere between 1 and 3 minutes.
This system has several important benefits. Research shows that threshold training allows your body to respond continuously from the aerobic type training discussed above.
This is important to know because so many people hit a wall when they get stuck in the aerobic zone. It will also help you burn more fat and calories but research shows this only works when incorporating a base of Aerobic (system 1) and Get Lean In 12 (system 3) along with it.
Try doing a 5 minute warm-up and doing medium-intensity burst for 1 to 3 minutes and then recover by going slower for 2 to 3 minutes. Repeat this cycle 4 or 5 times and cool down.
System 3: Creatine Phosphate or H.I.I.T.—High Intensity Interval Training
Type of workout used for this cycle:
?Get Lean In 12 (12 minutes)
H.I.I.T.— High Intensity Interval Training (15 to 30 minutes)
Lastly is creatine phosphate or Get Lean In 12. This system can only support high intensity effort for 15 to 30 seconds at a time. The main thing to remember with Get Lean In 12 workouts is that although they are only 12 minutes in length…they will increase both the “aerobic” AND “anaerobic” systems at the same exact time. No other cardio exercise that I know of has ever been shown to do this as effectively as Get Lean In 12. Not only that, but studies show you can elevate your metabolism for up to 48 hours from just one GL-12 workout.
Again, just remember the “more” is not “better” GL-12 philosophy. Doing a bunch of GL-12 workouts OR any other of the above workouts more than we recommend on a weekly basis is not the answer.
Continuously cycling your fat burning cardio workouts, weight training and carb-intake (a.k.a. macro-patterning) is the answer.
Don’t overcomplicate this wisdom. If you’re just getting started or you’re not advanced, experiment with 1 workout per system to start with.
If you add in weight training (which you definitely should) 3 or 4 times a week for 30 to 45 minutes you’ll be able to get a flat stomach or six pack abs in only 5 hours a week.
System #3 is actually like a ‘secret system’ because so many people are afraid of intensity. This is actually how Get Lean In 12 was founded and created because it saves the most time and gives you the biggest bang for your effort.
If you think you’ll get bored of the sprinting, change it up. You can use the GL12 cardio to do dozens of different exercises; mountain climbers, jump rope, standing jump-squats, squat thrusts, high-step sprints…you get the idea. Don’t be afraid to change it up. Variety is a spice of life.
Every 4 to 6 months you should go back to just aerobic training for a week or 2 to build a new foundation so you keep responding to H.I.I.T.
and GL12.
Also, once or twice a year during a Deplete Week or The 7 Day Diet you should take a week or two off training all together to help you reset your metabolism and recharge your body for longevity.
In fact, when I first discovered GL-12 I took my body fat to under 5% really fast, so I wondered “why” it worked so incredible. After doing my research I put together a free special report called “Get Lean In 12 Cardio Revealed” along with a Free audio CD revealing all our secrets.
