Brett Hoebel: The Three Most Important Factors

Brett Hoebel is a world class trainer. Known for his "Rev"- olutionary body transformation program,

REVABS, he became internatioanlly known as one of the "unknown" trainers on The Biggest Loser Season 11. Currently, he is the host and trainer on Food Network's Fat Chef.

He recently wrote on Askmen.com a synopsis of how he trains. If you have ever heard him speak or watched video of him training, you know that he believes body transformation (ie: weight loss) is a simple science. For "The Dues Collector," it is a three step process.

You must "activate people emotionally so they are 100% committed." According to Brett, finding your "why" is important. You want to lose weight? Okay, but why? So that your blood pressure goes down? Okay, but why is that important? So you are there to give your daughter away on her wedding day? That's more like it!

People must be educated. That way they understand the reason they are doing certain things. In my own experiecne, people are more apt to stick with a routine when they understand exactly what they are doing. For example, take pushups, just doing them to say you can is meaningless, but doing them to stregthen you arms, chest, back, and core has meaning. Using them as part of a cardio regime to blast fat away has more meaning.

"Motivation is good, but inspiration is better." Brett reminds us of something that we didn't know, that we already knew. Motivation passes. Inspiration lasts. Motivation harps on a passing emotion like fear or anger. Inspiration leads off something meaningful to us, like love. When you are inspired, you can motivate those around you. It does not work the other way around.

Brett's advice is sound advice. He even guides us through how it helped a client, Rocco- a celebrity chef in Cleveland. After looking at these three steps, you can easily see how activation, education, and inspirationcan better our lives, and not just in sheedding a few pounds, but in our jobs, home life, even our spiritual battles.
