1) Upcoming Boot Camp

The Shocking Truth about how to get functionally fit while burning fat simultaneously.

Dear friend,

In my experience as a personal trainer, I’ve learned all about how to build bigger and stronger muscles. It wasn’t until the last 3 years that I really learned how to not only accomplish those things but to do so while increasing the body’s ability to perform better.

I learned this partly through my career as a martial artist. Getting bigger and stronger with isolated exercises made me look better but certainly didn’t help me perform better. The only thing that helped was training my body to move through space as it was designed to do. I’m talking about working the body as a whole.

Before incorporating these types of workouts into my routine I thought I knew everything. After all, I was a personal trainer. Good thing I kept myself open to new things. Look what one of my students, Regina Fitzpatrick has said about my boot camp training method:

"I really enjoyed "boot camp." Billy is a great instructor. In three weeks, I definitely saw an improvement in my strength, tone and energy level. I am looking forward to my next boot camp. Thanks Billy!" - Regina Fitzpatrick, Lindenhurst, NY

Do you have the desire to increase flexibility, gain functional strength, and reshape your body? You can do all these things in my upcoming 4 week boot camp. You can reach all of your current fitness goals and more by using nothing more than your own body weight. Yes, it’s true that you don’t need weights to get into great shape. Once you learn the methods of boot camp training you can save money by forgoing gym memberships in the nicer weather and you won’t have to spend another dime on useless fitness equipment that you don’t need.

Does this sound too good to be true? Many of the martial artists that I know and personally train with do nothing but train with their own body and get into phenomenal shape. Functional fitness is what these athletes have and what you can attain by training with the same principles.

The reason I decided to do this boot camp is to give people the chance to look great and more importantly to perform great. The attendees will be able to have a strong core that will allow them to turn in all directions with ease.

In the boot camp workouts you will perform amazing upper body workouts. Some of the exercises will not be new to you but the way you do them will be brand new. Your arms will become more toned, almost instantly after beginning boot camp.

Your legs will develop speed, agility, and quickness. No, speed is not the same as quickness. The quickness will result in more “spring in your step.” Your thighs will become lean and solid as you learn the proper form and speed of these ultimate leg exercises.

You will not leave boot camp without a more developed core. I guarantee it! This abs, low back, and oblique workout will be much different than what you’ve seen. We won’t be isolating as much as we’ll be focusing on entire movements. This type of training will allow you to perform real life activities more efficiently. Doesn’t matter if it’s hitting a jump shot, putting groceries away, or moving furniture. You will be better at it than before boot camp.

The Hofe-Man boot camp will also teach your body to avoid injury and possibly rid your body of current aches and pains. Wake up feeling great about yourself each day.

It’s hard to put a price tag on this information packed boot camp but I did want to make it affordable for everyone, even those who can’t afford to train with me one on one. Along with the 4 week, 3 times per week boot camp, you will receive a Hofe-Man Boot Camp T-shirt that you can proudly wear as well as a Hofe-Man Boot Camp training log you can use to stay organized with your fitness.

The camp will meet every Tuesday and Thursday at 6 AM and every Saturday at 9:30 AM beginning on September 13th and ending on October 8th. Each session will meet at Tanner Park in Copiague. If you sign up prior to September 9th, your investment will only be $199. If you sign up after that date and there are still spaces left, your investment will be $225.

I also have 2 surprise guests joining me this year. One is a female doctoral candidate in physical therapy who will help you rid your body of nagging injuries while the other is a health and wellness specialist in amazing shape himself.

Call (631) 225-7831 today to sign up before missing this golden opportunity.

Best,

Billy Hofacker

Ps. This boot camp is one of the best investments you can make!

2) Lose Body Fat With Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Nutrition

WARNING: Don’t Exercise or Play Sports Again Until You Read This

The Shocking Truth about what is needed for optimal performance results

Dear fellow exercise enthusiast,

When I first began grappling under the instruction of Matt and Nick Serra in 1999, I thought I knew everything. Training jiu-jitsu and maybe lifting some weights was all I needed to be the best I could be. Right? Not exactly. Although I was putting in quite a bit of mat time, I didn’t always feel my best. Some days I’d feel great, almost unstoppable, but on other days I’d feel like crap. I also had some nagging injuries which never seemed to go away. Can you relate to any of these problems?

I knew there had to be more to the “jiu-jitsu puzzle” so I began researching performance nutrition. I did plenty of independent research as a personal fitness trainer in the last 8 years. I have been helping people on a daily basis to improve their nutritional and exercise habits for improved performance and looks. The results have been fantastic. You can see some of them right on my website.

I have joined forces with the Serra brothers to offer you 1.5 hours of cutting edge performance nutrition info on September 10th at 11:30 AM at their Huntington academy.

Forget about feeling too tired to train or feeling tired after only a few minutes of training. You’d be surprised to learn how much impact NUTRITION has on these things.

Say good bye to nagging injuries. Injuries are often aggravated when muscles are working but are not properly fueled. Whether you want to be the best athlete you can be, simply feel better about yourself, or torch some unwanted body fat right off your body, this seminar is for you.

Learn exactly what to eat before training, during training, and after training. Learn how much to eat and at what times. Learn to figure out how many calories should be ingested into your body for your specific goals. Most importantly, learn how to fit these ideas into your lifestyle no matter how hectic life seems to be.

Since I have worked an arrangement out with the Serra brothers, this jam packed Performance Nutrition Seminar is going to be available to you for only $49.

Follow the information you learn in this seminar and the world is yours to conquer. You’ll have people giving you compliments and/or wondering what your doing to be in such great shape. Call (631) 225-7831 to sign up today. This seminar will be the best nutritional investment you have ever made.

Sincerely,

Your fellow functional fitness freak, Billy Hofacker

P.S. This seminar is the best investment in your health and nutrition you will ever make. Call and sign up today.

3) What are Lipids and How do They Relate to Atherosclerosis Part II

Last issue I discussed the recommended levels for total cholesterol, LDL, and HDL. There is however a bit more to the picture. The total cholesterol/HDL ratio can be calculated to further assess risk in regards to cholesterol and HDL scores. For example, an individual can have a negative high value for cholesterol but a positively high HDL value. Ideally, the ratio should be 3.5 with 4.5 presenting an average risk, and a ratio of 5 or higher showing a high risk. A person can have 290 mg/dl as their cholesterol and 75 mg/dl for their HDL value. Even though the cholesterol alone would be considered high they have a ratio of 3.9 which indicates a low risk.

Here are some tips to ensure a healthy heart:

1)Cut down on saturated fat. Consume less fat, especially saturated animal fat and tropical oils such as coconut and palm. This means cutting down on fatty red meat, greasy burgers, fatty cheeses, and commercially made baked goods. You don’t have to eliminate all fats from your diet, especially if you have a healthy cholesterol level. As with most things, moderation is key.

2)Consume more soluble fiber. The fiber in oats and beans protect against heart disease. Many foods with soluble fiber are also great carbohydrate sources for sustained energy. I eat oatmeal or cream of rice most days of the week.

3)Consume fish. Some research also indicates fish oils can help prevent heart disease. The best choices are the ones highest in omega-3 fats like salmon, mackerel, albacore, tuna, and herring. Just make sure your fish is prepared in low fat methods (not fried in butter). I supplement with fish oil pills because I don’t think I eat enough fish. I’m sure I would be better off with the real thing rather than capsules.

I hope these healthy heart tips help your heart beat strongly for many years.
