A Message From Lyn

Dear Boot Camp Candidate:

If I could help you safely and effectively take off all your extra pounds and get really healthy and fit - even if you haven't been healthy and fit for years - wouldn't you want to at least investigate what my Boot Camp is all about?

Imagine how you'll feel if you wake up every morning excited about how you look, full of energy and optimism all day, constantly amazing your family, friends and co-workers with your newly-toned and trimmed body.

I certainly don't blame you if you're initially skeptical about my Boot Camp: A ton of useless weight-loss programs and products are out there, and you may have wasted plenty of your time and money on them before. But there are a handful of programs that do work, and you're going to discover that my Boot Camp is among the very best.

Before going any further I've got THREE important questions for you:

       Are you willing to make a FEW adjustments to your eating habits if you can still eat lots of delicious foods?

       Are you willing to make a FEW changes in the way you exercise - or avoid exercise - if the exercise actually turns out to be the most stimulating, fun and exciting part of your day?

       Are you willing to change a FEW habits and thought processes if your new habits and thoughts actually make you feel happier while they help you lose your extra weight?

If you answered YES TO ALL THREE QUESTIONS, I believe you are ready to lose weight and get in great shape, and MY BOOT CAMP ABSOLUTELY WILL BE A GREAT WEIGHT-LOSS PROGRAM FOR YOU! Read On!

I cannot recommend enough how valuable Lyn's Boot Camp will be to overweight/out-of-shape people. She has considerable experience with different fitness regimes, has studied nutrition as it pertains to physical fitness, and has enormous enthusiasm for her classes and her participants. She has FUN workouts!
Margaret Green, Security, 50+, Charlotte

Here are the...

3 REASONS WHY MY BOOT CAMP IS VASTLY SUPERIOR to any other weight-loss program in the Charlotte area - in fact anywhere in the Carolinas - and why I am so confident my Boot Camp will work for you:

  1. At my Boot Camp I will teach you and then COACH YOU on how to eat correctly and sensibly so that you reduce calories and stay healthy while STILL ENJOYING MANY OF YOUR FAVORITE FOODS.
  2. At my Boot Camp I will teach you and then COACH YOU on how to recognize the negative thought patterns and habits that interfere with your weight loss - and I'll help you replace those negative thought patterns with positive ones that will LEAD YOU TOWARD YOUR GOAL OF FITNESS AND WEIGHT LOSS.
  3. At my Boot Camp I will teach you and then COACH YOU on how to exercise and workout safely and effectively so that you steadily burn calories and get into the best shape of your life.

If You Don't Know About Lyn, You Should!

Lyn Addy created Lyn's Boot Camp with the help of leading local and national experts in fitness, weight-loss, nutrition, exercise, mindfulness training, and behavior modification. She understands how hard it is - both mentally and physically - for many overweight people to lose weight. But she's on a mission to prove that everyone can lose weight and stay fit - and have a blast while doing so!

Lyn has been a fitness fanatic since she was a teenager. From the looks of her, that would seem to indicate that she's been at it for two or three years (she keeps herself in great shape). But in reality, she's been doing this for over 20 years!

Her credentials in the fitness and coaching field are extensive: She's an AFAA Certified Personal Trainer; she's ACE (American Council on Exercise) Certified in Lifestyles and Weight Management; she managed and co-directed YMCA and YWCA fitness centers in Charlotte; she's a Certified Senior Instructor in Kungfu and Tai Chi at The Peaceful Dragon, one of the top martial arts schools in the Carolinas; she holds a baccalaureate degree in Dance; she's practiced Zen Meditation and Chinese Yoga under Master Eric Sbarge for the past ten years; she's a Yogafit™ certified instructor; she's a NAPMA Certified Fitness Kickboxing instructor; she's taught dance and aerobics at popular studios and fitness centers in North and South Carolina; she's a Red Cross-Certified First Aid and CPR Instructor; she's trained clients in both weight-lifting and aerobic exercise at some of the most upscale and popular health clubs in the Carolinas; and she's had her own cutting-edge Personal Training and Coaching business for several years.

Her personal accomplishments are as impressive as her credentials: She took first place in the women's Full Contact Fighting Division at the national Kung Fu Kuoshu championships in Baltimore in 2002; she became the first woman ever sanctioned by A.C.C.S. (American Center for Chinese Studies) as a full-instructor in all of the martial arts styles taught through that prestigious New York center (the first and only in their 25 year history); and she ran her first Marathon Race (26 miles) faster than most seasoned racers ever do!

But let's be real, who wants to take part in just another exercise and workout routine? At my Boot Camp you'll ENJOY - that's right, ENJOY - the craziest, most off-the-wall, off-the-charts, innovative, mind-blowing and exciting workouts you've ever seen!

Keep on reading and in just a moment I'll tell your more about my Boot Camp workouts.

You may have noticed a key phrase above: COACH YOU. Just as John Fox coaches the Carolina Panthers -- guiding and motivating each player to achieve top fitness goals and reach their fullest potential -- I will be guiding and motivating YOU in my Boot Camp so that you achieve your fitness goals and realize your dream of weight loss. Finally you really will have somebody in your corner pulling for you and leading the way for your success!

It's Not Your Fault If You've Tried to Lose Weight and Failed

If you're overweight and you've never at least tried to lose the extra weight, well, maybe that is your fault. But if you've tried and failed, don't blame yourself. Your intentions and determination might have scored an A+, but if no one has taught you the RIGHT WAY to lose weight, and no one has MOTIVATED AND COACHED YOU on how to FOLLOW THE RIGHT WAY, and no one has even explained to you that THERE IS A RIGHT AND WRONG WAY - don't blame yourself.

If you're like the other 60% or more overweight Americans, you've probably tried:

  • Risky Pills That Appeal to Your Emotions But Are Really a Huge Hoax
  • Workout Videotapes That You Can't Communicate With Or Get Positive Feedback From - Especially Since They're Usually Collecting Dust on Your Shelf
  • Diets That Made Their Creators Richer, You Poorer, And Your Weight Unchanged
  • Gyms or Health Clubs Where You Quit Out of Frustration And The People There Were So Indifferent That They Never Asked Why You Quit (If They Even Noticed!)
  • Expensive Exercise Machines That You Use For Three Days And Then Stare At For Three Years Until Some Other Well-Intentioned Soul With Dreams Of Six-Pack Abs Finally Drags It Out Of Your Living Room

You've tried those things and they've failed. Maybe they worked for a few moments, or even a few months, but then your weight ended up right back where it started, or worse. Of course I hope you're going to enroll in my Boot Camp, but even if you don't, at least promise me (or more important yourself) that you won't fall victim to promoters who make exciting new ads but offer the same old products and methods that didn't work for people in the past, aren't working now, and surely aren't going to work in the future.

Take a look at the following list of the most common weight loss products and programs, and how much money most people waste on them:

Diet Pills $20- $150 per month
Health Clubs $50-$150 per month + membership fee
Aerobics Classes $50-150 per month + membership fee
Diet Centers $150-$400 per month + membership fee
Home Gyms $500-$6000
Liposuction
per body area
$2,000-$7,000

The reasons the above generally fail are simple: Some are hoaxes (the miracle diet pills); some become so routine and boring that virtually everyone quits before even coming close to achieving their fitness goals (the health clubs, home gyms, aerobics classes); and some are really only temporary measures to take weight off (the diet centers, liposuction).

Now look at two choices that often really do work for successful and long-term weight loss:
Personal Trainer 3x week $600 - $2000 per month
Live-in Weight Loss Center $6000 - $20,000 per month

Now, I've been ACE (American Council on Exercise) Certified in Lifestyles and Weight Management, and I'm an AFAA Certified Personal Trainer. I know what I'm talking about when it comes to what works for most people and what fails for most people when it comes to fitness and weight control. The reason a Personal Trainer or a Live-in Weight Control Center works for many people is very simple: You are being personally COACHED (monitored, motivated, encouraged, and guided) by experts in nutrition, exercise, and (with the most effective trainers) behavior modification.

You could hire me as a Personal Trainer.

But if you want to hire me, or any other reputable Personal Trainer, you're going to be paying between $50 to $150 per hour - a minimum of $600 per month. I personally charge $100 per hour, or about $1200 a month. Is it worth it? Absolutely, if you're serious about your health and fitness and your quality of life - and if you've got the extra $1200 a month to spend.

But here's the beauty of my Boot Camp: You'll get the same kind of coaching - and therefore the same likelihood of success - for a small fraction of the cost of hiring me or anyone else as a personal trainer.

And since you'll be part of a group of motivated and dedicated students, you'll actually have a whole lot more fun and an even better support team than you normally would with a personal trainer!

Succeeding in weight-loss is actually simple once you understand a few key scientific facts about your body, your mind, and the 80/20 principle.

First, let me tell you a simple fact about YOUR BODY:

There's nothing wrong with it!

lyn

God may have given you a thin body or a thick one, a tall one or a short one - it doesn't matter. All body types are beautiful. But all types of bodies can start carrying too much weight and get out of shape - and then you don't feel beautiful or handsome, you don't like the way you look, and you sure don't feel as healthy and energetic as you'd like to.

Well here's some good news: Just as any type of body can gain weight and get out of shape, any type of body can shed that weight and become fit again!

Before going any further, I urge you not to make excuses for yourself about slow metabolism, or unbalanced hormones, or the wrong genetics - these are merely small bumps in the road, not road blocks. It's true that some people's bodies gain weight more easily than others. But when you blame body characteristics for your weight gain, YOU GIVE UP CONTROL OF YOUR BODY. When you accept and TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR BODY, then you're ready to coast right over the bumps in the road and lose the extra weight easily regardless of your body characteristics.

So that there is no confusion, you can successfully get fit and lose your excess weight regardless of your genetics, hormones, metabolism or body type. Sure, there may be one in 10,000 who do have a medical condition that precludes easy weight loss - but accept the fact that you're with the other 9,999 unless a licensed medical doctor has proven to you otherwise.

Now let me tell you a simple fact about YOUR MIND:

It can be your own worst enemy if you don't understand it and learn how to monitor and use it correctly.

My martial arts instructor, Master Eric Sbarge, taught me over ten years ago how Chinese Zen masters refer to our mind: They call it The Wild Monkey Mind. Like a wild monkey running all over the place, our minds run all over the place with this thought and that thought; we try this and then just as suddenly we try that; we give in to this impulse and then we give in to that impulse.

jen
"Lyn is a great teacher! I'm sure you can lose weight with her help!"
Jen Bryant, 26, landscape gardener, Charlotte, NC

Zen monks and serious martial arts masters dedicate their lives to observing and controlling their mind and taming the wild monkey. While I'm no Zen nun, I do take my martial arts training and practice very seriously. I've been extremely fortunate to have learned from Master Sbarge a great number of essential strategies for being more MINDFUL and more IN CONTROL OF my thoughts, emotions and impulses.

Why is this relevant to you? Because your body is at the mercy of your mind, and if you're going to get control of your body and lose weight, you have to learn how to better observe and control your mind. Any weight loss program that doesn't offer genuine training in mindfulness and awareness, followed by positive behavior modification, is almost sure to fail.

It's astonishing how much your mental habits can undercut you, especially the negative patterns of thinking that you often aren't even aware of. When you're craving a calorie-laden piece of chocolate cake late at night, for example, you often eat it simply because you are used to the pattern of feeding your cravings - even though afterwards your body feels worse and your mind feels guilty and discouraged.

You've got to learn how to recognize the negative patterns and learn how to replace them with behavior patterns that positively lead you to your goal of fitness and weight loss.

I know you can't wait ten years to train your mind like a Zen master before losing weight, so I've taken all the methods for mind awareness that I've learned and tested over the years, and I've condensed them down to five of the very "best of the best."

Sherry Lu, MRI Technologist, 23, Charlotte

At my Boot Camp, I'll teach you and COACH YOU in:

THE 5 MOST IMPORTANT SECRETS To Mindfulness and Positive Pattern Changes. These Secrets Will Put YOU In Control of Your Mind And Your Body - And Help You Lose Weight Forever!

You can try just exercising and dieting all you want, but if you don't learn the secrets to mindfulness, awareness and habit modification so that you Tame Your Wild Monkey and overcome the thoughts and impulses that make you gain weight, you'll likely end up going around and around in circles and you - and your weight - will end up right back where you started. You'll only be more dizzy and tired.

Now Let Me Quickly Tell You About The 80/20 Principle

Simply put, the 80/20 Principle states that 20% of the things you do account for 80% of the results, and 80% of the things you do account for just 20% of the results. This is one of the most important principles you can learn for many things in life, but especially for weight loss.

You can take 80% or more of the steps you THINK will help you lose weight, but end up with 20% or less of the results you hoped for. But if you do the RIGHT 20% of things, you can easily have 80% or more of your desired weight loss come true!

I'll teach you the 20% -- the key weight loss concepts and strategies - that will make all the difference for you, and save you a lot of guess work and heartache. Once you've lost 80% of your extra weight, you'll confidently be able to keep going and take off more, even 100% of those unwanted pounds!

Here Are Just 10 Of The Key Weight Loss Concepts And Strategies That You'll Learn At My Boot Camp:

  1. How to prime your body's cells for weight loss
  2. How to eat right when away from home
  3. Two foods that you're probably not eating enough of that will boost your weight loss
  4. How to turn on your "fat burning hormones" and turn off your "fat storing hormones"
  5. How to super-charge your metabolism for maximum fat burning all day long
  6. What kinds of fats are actually good to eat and how much of them to eat
  7. How to notice and control emotional "food cravings" before they control you
  8. How to exercise without injury so you don't lose momentum
  9. How to handle the naysayers and skeptics who can sabotage your weight loss progress
  10. How to overcome erroneous fears, such as the fear of losing your friends and loved ones if you become thin

Here's why you won't find anything else that even comes close to my Boot Camp anywhere in the Carolinas

At my Boot Camp you'll be training along side other highly-motivated individuals so you can support and assist each other.

If you are accepted into my Boot Camp, you'll be training along side a highly-motivated and dedicated group of men and women who are at a point in their lives where they WILL NOT ACCEPT FAILURE in their quest to lose weight and keep it off. As your trainer and coach, I will be teaching you the most important secrets to natural and safe weight loss - but you and your training partners will be making it happen on a daily basis.

How do I know you'll be with other motivated and dedicated weight-loss students, and not just a bunch of wannabes? Very simple - I don't accept students who aren't serious. I make my living teaching fitness, and I could surely make a whole lot more money if I accepted just anybody in off the street who claims they want to lose weight.

But I don't take just anyone. I can't offer the great personalized service to you that you'll need for success if I accept too many candidates, and I'd rather focus on just the select group that is most intent on making weight-loss a reality. I weed out the really non-serious candidates right away: For example, you wouldn't have taken the time to come to my web site, and you wouldn't still be reading this letter, if you weren't a good potential candidate for my Boot Camp. And few people will take the time to completely fill out the Application Form for my Boot Camp if they are just dreamers or wannabes.

I'm not going to ask you to do ... no, let me re-phrase that ... I'm not going to allow you to do a traditional exercise program with me

I've taught and continue to teach aerobics, weight lifting, circuit training, martial arts, yoga - a whole lot of traditional ways to keep your mind and body in great shape. But for my Boot Camp, I threw all of those traditional programs out the window. It's not that they're not good: For some people, under the right circumstances, they're great. And I've certainly kept some elements of them in my Boot Camp.

But what I've observed in my many years of Fitness Training is that those traditional programs just don't work for most overweight and out-of-shape people. The reason is simple: Most overweight and out-of-shape people who try those traditional programs quit right away.

Let's take you, for example. You're most likely not all that interested in perfecting your Clean-and Jerk technique in the weight room, or earning a Black Belt, or putting your leg behind your head like a pretzel in a yoga class. Right now you want one thing and one thing only: To lose weight and get in great shape. If I put you in a demanding traditional exercise program at best you'll likely feel bored, unmotivated and disinterested at best - and at worst you'll feel frustrated, out-of-place, self-conscious, discouraged, in over your head, and downright miserable. With those kinds of feelings, of course you'd want to quit right away.

You won't want to quit with my exciting and empowering new blend of ever-changing and always-entertaining Boot Camp routines...

...and once again I promise you that at my Boot Camp you'll ENJOY - that's right, ENJOY - the most crazy, off-the-wall, off-the-charts, innovative, mind-blowing and exciting workouts you've ever seen!

I'm not going to tell you every crazy exercise you'll do during my Boot Camp workouts because that would spoil the surprise and take away the spontaneity that my members enjoy so much.

But I'll just say, don't be surprised if you're:

  • Chasing your training partners through wooded trails with water balloons and Super Soaker water guns
  • Losing weight just by laughing so hard as you and your partner do wheel barrow races with REAL WHEELBARROWS
  • Hopping around the training room like a frog as you chase after a giant fly (you'll see how the notion of "good food" isn't so absolute - and you can't believe how toned this drill will make your legs)
  • Shoveling gravel or hauling tree branches up a hill (We need to keep the grounds nice and you've got to earn your keep somehow. By the way, is it correct to say "hauling tree branches up a hill" when you'll actually be jogging up the hill with those branches?)
  • Only allowed to drink from your water bottle while using a Crazy Straw with the bottle on the floor and you in a push-up position.

Anyway, you get the idea. We'll also do some fun fitness kickboxing, some stretching and yoga, punch some heavy bags, a little aerobics - but it will be more fun than any exercise you've done since you were a kid - and maybe more fun than any exercise you've ever done, period.

And you'll be burning lots of calories and getting thinner and in better shape with every workout - I can promise you that!!!

Think For A Moment About What Will Happen If You Don't Join My Boot Camp

You may conjure up a hundred different reasons to put off joining my Boot Camp, but be aware of the likely results of your failure to join:

  1. You'll not only fail to start feeling more energetic and lively each day, but you'll start to feel worse every day! Unless you are under the age of 25, your body is naturally declining in energy, not growing. That decline is accelerated in people who do not maintain a quality fitness program.
  2. You will find it more difficult, not less difficult, to lose the extra weight the longer you wait. Why wait even one extra day and make your life harder than it has to be?
  3. You are considerably more likely to develop significant and even serious health problems if you are overweight. Why continue to risk your well-being - or even your life - when you can do something about it?
  4. The financial investment in my Boot Camp can pale compared to the financial burden of being overweight: Extra medical expenses, time missed from work due to illness or lack of energy, for some overeaters even a food budget that is grossly mismanaged, often higher clothing expenses -- can you afford to keep squandering your hard-earned money?
  5. You'll miss out on my 5 Important Secrets to Mindfulness that really have brought greater happiness and satisfaction in life to those people who have learned and implemented my methods.
