<em>This post is dedicated to the participants of the The Lose To Win Challenge 2009, the Singapore version of &#8216;The Biggest Loser&#8217;</em></p>
<p>Dear Friends,</p>
<p>Great Job this week! Intensity have been revved, there&#8217;s less talk and more action. We can see it in your eyes &#8211; You DO want to work hard and smart to achieve your fitness goals.</p>
<p>I bet you can see it in the trainers too &#8211; how much we want YOU to succeed. Along the way, we&#8217;ll work on other aspects of life too &#8211; such as positive thinking and team synergy.</p>
<p>On behalf of all the personal trainers here at Team Fitness Guru &#8211; Press on! Your engines are now warmed up, and your body is now getting conditioned for the next level. Thank you very much in your faith with us and our exercise prescription. Thank you in working so hard to achieve your goals.</p>
<p>Please work with us and do the &#8216;GREAT THINGS TO DO&#8217; every week. It is part of our Fitness Empowerment programme &#8211; physical activity must be complemented with sharing how you&#8217;re feeling, finding solutions to challenges that will obstruct your route to success.</p>
<p><strong>Fitness Empowerment</strong></p>
<p>Please ensure that you&#8217;re familiar with our fitness programme. This is *not* only an exercise workout.<br />
It is a Holistic Fitness Empowerment Programme that catapults you into changing your fitness lifestyle. Take what you&#8217;ve learnt here with us and use it in your daily lives. The trainer&#8217;s goals for you are Long Term. We want you to learn how to enjoy exercise and do it effectively and efficiently such that you&#8217;ll continue your workouts AFTER these three months with us.</p>
<p>For a start, use the Empowerment strategies in your own workouts on your own. 2 or 3 more times a week for about half an hour. Put on your earphones and crank the volume up of your ipods!</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 24pt; color: #030075;">GREAT THINGS TO DO</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>(A) Your Activity List<br />
</strong></p>
<p>1) Do two or three more 30 minutes session by yourself or with your friends. If cannot afford twice, then do one more time.  Play sports, go for a brisk walk, do bodyweight exercises, climb up staircase, etc. Just move!</p>
<p>2) Cut back your food consumption by another 10%. Which means, you should be eating 81% of your normal food consumption prior to session one of bootcamp. Throw or give the other 19% away. You should not be wasting the &#8216;extra&#8217; food in your body &#8211; it&#8217;ll just be converted to fat if you don&#8217;t burn it away.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>(B) Your Online Homework<br />
