Joining me today is JJ Virgin, who has been inducted into the Fitness Hall of Fame, television and media personality, and a four-time New York Times Best Selling Author. She has launched over 10 businesses and is a 2-time Inc 5000 Founder. She is recognized as an authority on transformational leadership, as a Top Ten Finalist for the John C. Maxwell Award, as well as winner of the Mindshare Summit Pinnacle award. JJ’s first experience writing a book was with a screenwriter she was dating at the time. She had a connection with the publisher of Chicken Soup for the Soul, who offered her several thousand dollars for the book. Instead, she decided to self-publish her book and sign a contract with her boyfriend that gave him 50% of everything she did for the rest of her life. Her second book, “Six Weeks from Sleeveless to Sexy,” went out to lunch with a publisher, went to an editor at Simon and Shuster, took off her jacket, and the editor immediately wanted to buy her book! However, JJ says, “If you are going with a traditional publisher, that’s not what you want to do!”. When creating her cookbook, The Virgin Diet, another author published a cookbook with the same name six months earlier. The only reason JJ wasn’t able to get out ahead of the other author is that she was traditionally publishing, which takes a much longer process to get your book from idea to print. She recommends self-publishing as you can easily create a second edition of your book with updates without a huge issue. Traditionally publishing costs a large amount of money to make changes to your finished first edition. JJ also gives advice about marketing and the creation of cookbooks that every cookbook author needs to know! Listen in to find out how cookbooks are different from regular books, why a cookbook is harder, and what you should and shouldn’t do when you are writing a cookbook. Learn why you have to make sure your cookbook numbers are dialed in before you publish, and her tips on self-publishing cookbooks.  Show Notes [02:52] JJ’s first book was created while dating a screenwriter.  [04:54] How JJ made the mistake of traditional publishing her second book. [07:01] JJ’s process of frameworking her books as she doesn’t like to write. [08:47] Pairing up cookbooks with a regular book. What’s the difference between writing a cookbook and a regular book? [13:25] Why she can’t trademark her book name “The Virgin Diet.” [17:43] The best way you can find mistakes in your book is by doing a verbal readthrough out loud. [19:21] Differences between self-publishing and traditional publishing a cookbook. [22:57] Her tips and advice on creating a self-published cookbook. [28:34] How her product line and her books evolved over time. [32:07] The backend for her physical products  - what she is doing and how she is marketing her products. [34:19] How JJ creates multiple income streams with her books and products.

She also regularly writes for Rodale Wellness, Mind Body Green, and other major blogs and magazines. Her most important role is as mom of two budding entrepreneurial young men.Here’s a sneak peek of what you’ll hear:JJ’s lifelong obsession with nutrition and healthy eating. Growing up engaged in the theater world got her really interested in the nutrition space to stay healthy and fit for her dancing career. She shifted from teaching dance and calisthenics to settle on aerobics, and that’s how she ended up becoming a personal trainer when there wasn’t even a name for it. It’s in that space that she really quickly realized that someone cannot out-exercise a bad diet and so she had to dive deeper into studying nutrition. Find out more at 02:40You know how we all think that if someone wants to lose weight they need to eat less, exercise more, and create a 500 calorie deficit, and all that? Well, that’s all wrong and JJ will bust that untruth big time. How to successfully lose weight boils down to weight training to build more muscle which requires more energy to be on the body and improves insulin sensitivity, and also enables the body to burn fat much more easily. Go to 06:05 to learn more about that.Why grazing is super rotten for you. If you want to be younger and live longer, you have to have good insulin sensitivity, and JJ couldn’t stress this enough. When you eat, your body’s blood sugar goes up and your pancreas secretes insulin to bring blood sugar back down because when it’s up it’s toxic to your body. If not properly balanced, it all leads to diabetes, weight gain, and all around unhealthiness. Here’s a tip JJ shares, “Try getting a little hungry and if you feel hungry, take some water, and wait. Then when you get really hungry, eat something” Listen in at 09:53 for some more enlightenment on that.The Virgin Diet and how it helps in losing weight. There are a lot of things that cause weight loss resistance (the inability to lose weight) including genetics, menopause, thyroid problems, stress, lack of sleep, and gut issues. One of the ways to lose weight is by figuring out your hidden food intolerances from leaky gut. You can also try intermittent fasting or a ketogenic diet, but you have to get ready for it gradually instead of starting immediately. Go to 18:32 to get all the actionable advice from JJ on how to lose weight by figuring out your food intolerances.The 7 foods that you should avoid if you wanna lose weight and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Gluten is the worst culprit of them all. It makes you more insulin resistant, makes your gut more leaky, and is just horrendously bad for your blood sugar, your gut, and of course, keeps you from losing any weight . Another culprit at the top of the list is dairy and eggs especially because we get factory processed dairy products and eggs. The best way to go when it comes to those two foods is to get them from grass fed or pastured animals. Goat or sheep’s milk is also much better than cow’s milk. Learn more about the rest of the foods you should avoid at 30:55.Working on your longest term relationship; your relationship with food. One of the most important things you can do to adopt better eating habits is to connect the dots between what you eat, how you feel, and what you weigh. And JJ’s virgin diet will help you do just that by helping you design an eating program that will work for you in the long haul.

Key Takeaways: JJ wanted to be a broadway actress and dancer but transitioned into aerobics.  As JJ was helping her clients through their weight loss journey, she saw firsthand their struggles with weight. What’s the difference between a food intolerance and a food allergy? We’re taught that bloating is ‘normal’ and that joint pain is ‘normal.’ JJ recommends first taking a look at the quality of your food. What are the top seven most common food sensitivities? Gluten, Dairy, Corn, Eggs, Soy, Peanuts, Sugar, and Artificial Sweeteners. It’s important to get tested to really understand what you might be reacting badly to. Why is gluten so damaging to our gut?

Take some time to optimize your Vitamin D intake.   Episode Summary: JJ Virgin shares the seven most common food sensitivities our society faces and how food intolerance holds us back from living a younger, healthier life.

He opened his training facility on his own, learned how to delegate, and scaled his business by teaching others to do what he does. He quickly learned that, if he wanted more freedom and time with his kids, he was going to need a business model that didn’t rely 100% on him. Tune in to hear how his business grew into what it is today, how he overcame the growing pains, and why he believes the “personal” needs to stay in personal training.     In this episode, Joe and I discuss:  His certification courses for personal trainers and company, PT Profits.  How he teaches others to do what he does.  The difference between content and delivery and what to look for when you hire.   The challenges that come with teaching and coaching others.    What’s ruining the industry and why the “personal” needs to stay in personal training.   How Joe inspires an entrepreneurial attitude in his kids.     3:00 – 8:30 - The two tiers of Joe’s business, how he built them, and how he’s scaling  8:30 – 13:00 - Teaching the delivery of information and having reasonable expectations    13:00 – 17:00 - Attitude over skill  17:00 – 24:00 - The state of the industry, gaining experience, and creating long-term success   24:00 – 34:30 - Delegating, having a “get it done” attitude, and valuable teachings for the kids   34:30 – 38:00 – The Rapid Five

Her latest book, Miracle Mindset, shows warrior moms how to be strong, positive leaders for their families.

  “When You Give Goodness, Goodness Comes Back” Cathe Friedrich What a treat to finally get time to sit down and connect with the incredible Cathe Friedrich. I have been a fan of Cathe’s for as long as I can remember, but it was about 5 years ago that we connected in person for the first time.   We dive right in and talk about how from the very first fitness class she took, she knew this was her calling. From the music to the moves, Cathe connected with her passion and found her sense of purpose on that fateful day.   We talk about the early days of the CIA Instructor VHS series with Greg Twombly, and how after ordering and watching her first video, Cathe had the courage to call Greg to see what it would take to be in a video. From that conversation her on camera career began.   In the early days of her career Cathe commuted daily from New Jersey to NYC to practice her craft and build her resume. It was here, at a Boutique Studio over Carnegie Hall that she discovered the gift of creative movement and developed some of her first bench workouts before any of us had heard about “step aerobics”   It was so fantastic to hear how she did her 10,000 hours of practice and study to develop her own unique style and brand of fitness. From the start she incorporated HIT, Strength and Cardio training - decades before it was cool to do so.   Step n Motion One was the first video that Cathe filmed under her own name. With just a VHS player, her videos and a small booth space she took a leap of faith and went to World IDEA. From three people to ten people watching her class, to selling out of her inventory, it was at this moment that she knew she was onto something special and her rise to stardom began.   We discuss the balance between the ever evolving use of technology and how it compares to the heart to heart connection in a studio setting. Cathe talks about the importance of connecting with her community and how much she cherishes her fitness family of Cathletes.   We wrap the interview with a conversation on balance and her thoughts on how to manage your time and do the best that you can.   Connect With Cathe Online and in Social Media   Website   Facebook   Twitter   Instagram   More About Cathe   Cathe Friedrich is a long time certified fitness professional, entrepreneur, gym owner and leading innovator in the home exercise video industry. Very early in her fitness career, Cathe recognized the need to provide a simple, flexible, affordable and motivating way for individuals to exercise and stay fit. In 1988 she founded Step N Motion Videos, and in 1989 created and released one of the first step aerobics videos on the market. More than thirty years later, Cathe continues to produce fun, intense, and challenging workouts for all body types and fitness levels. Cathe is the founder of Cathe dot Com, one of the largest and most-visited fitness websites. Cathe has created and produced over 300 advanced fitness videos and over 120 livestream workouts. Her award-winning workouts have been featured in The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Fox Business News, Shape, Oxygen and Self, to name a few. Cathe continues to stay cutting edge through her CatheLive streaming channel, On Demand offerings and mobile video app. Cathe prides herself on staying true to three guiding principles: professionalism, passion, and quality. Her dedication to her craft and to the fitness industry led to her induction into the Fitness Hall of Fame in 2011. Today, Cathe continues to teach fitness classes at her gym, Four Seasons Fitness, in Glassboro, NJ. Cathe utilizes her brand and social media platforms to continue to share her message of healthy living directly with her fans, known as “Cathletes.” Cathe hosts yearly fitness events in major cities such as New York, Chicago, San Diego as well as in her own fitness facility. At these events, fitness enthusiasts come together to share their love of health, wellness and exercise. Since 1986, Cathe has been certified through the American Council on Exercise (ACE). Additional specialty fitness certifications include: Indoor Cycling, Body Pump, Body Flow, Kickboxing, Boxing, Silver Sneakers, Prenatal Fitness, Resist-A-Ball, Yoga Fit, Barre and more.

On Today’s show you’ll discover… …various methods for achieving your health and fitness goals; …if your favorites made the list; …and what health and fitness experts have to say call the show: 207-370-9797 email: sws0926@gmail.com Become an Outside Health and Fitness Fan, support the show and get exclusive rewards! Subscribe to Outside Health and Fitness iTunes | Android | Email | RSS | More Options Health and Fitness Trends The ACSM’s (American College of Sports Medicine) just released its annual “Worldwide Survey of Fitness Trends for 2016,”The survey asks close to 3000 health and fitness professionals to predict what we’ll see in fitness this year. I thought it would be fun to run down the list and hear from some of the experts I’ve had on the show. So here are the top results from the survey: 1 Wearable Fitness Tech I talked about one of the most interesting new health monitors on Funky Fitness Now a few weeks ago with my co-host Jessica Bailey. 2 Bodyweight Exercise With more people going back to basics and rediscovering the effectiveness of push-ups, squats and burpees it’s no wonder bodyweight training came in at number 2 on the survey. In episode 57 I talked with Jason Johnson from beyond fitness and asked him how to get started with bodyweight exercise. 3 Tabata Training   Izumi Tabata performed studies in 1996 and demonstrated that High Intensity Interval Training (H.I.I.T.) provided some impressive results in a short period of time. Tabata worked with Olympic Skaters. He applied a schedule of H.I.I.T.that covered 4 days and included a 5th day of steady state (traditional) training. During days scheduled for High Intensity Interval Training the athletes worked at their max capacity for 20 seconds followed by 10 seconds of rest 8 times in a row. Each session lasted a total of 4 minutes but despite the short time the results were impressive. I spoke with my good friend, celebrity fitness instructor Jessica Bailey on Episode 75 about why Tabata training is so effective. 4 Good ole’ fashioned strength training Whether you’re a man or a woman there are some big benefits to strength training and I spoke with Fitness Hall of Famer Kathy Kaehler on episode 149 about some of the extra benefits you get from including strength training in your fitness routine. 5 Creative Fitness Programs – Qualified Instructors A growing trend are the number of qualified fitness instructors available to help you achieve your goals. With more coming on-line everyday finding a class or program has never been easier. I was lucky to get a chance to talk with one of the best in episode 135 WolfPack Fitness. My guest was Luke Robinson who runs WolfPak Fitness in Auburn Maine and his approach to training others is creative, fun and effective. He has built a really unique program to help men and women get strong and gain confidence by exercising outside. On top of that he has the really amazing events all centered around fitness….the really cool part is these events also help give back to the community.  I asked him about one the Sunday Primal Fitness sessions I had seen on his the WolfPak Facebook page. 6 Personal Training If the “group” training thing isn’t for you and you prefer a one on one approach you’re not alone because Personal Training comes in at #6 on the top ten Fitness Trends. 7 Functional Fitness Do you prefer workouts that help you move better throughout your day? Functional Fitness uses strength training to improve balance, coordination, force, power, and endurance to enhance your ability to perform activities you do as part of your daily life. In episode 45 “Out of Your Mind Fitness” I spoke with WWE SuperStar John Morrison who developed a fitness program called Out of Your Mind Fitness based on functional training and maximizing your workout time. 8 Fitness Programs for Older Adults The needs of baby boomers are high on the radar as retirees and older adults want programs to stay healthy and active. Back in episode 48 “Choose Health with Dr. Lori Shemek” I was honored to talk with Dr. Lori Shemek. Dr. Lori is a TV personality, author, motivational speaker and helps design lifestyle programs for people who want to be healthy as they age. Dr. Lori and I talked about the impact low level inflammation can have on the body and how important proper nutrition and exercise is for healthy aging. 9 Combination Exercise and Weight Loss Programs The 9th top trend in fitness goes to health and fitness professionals who provide a combination of Exercise and Weight Loss programs to help their clients shed the fluff. I’ve had a number of great guests on the show who’ve shared their exercise and weight loss programs. Tyson Lee “Anti-Aging with Tyson Lee”, Dr. Eddie Fatakhov “The Skinny on Sustained Weightloss” and Dr. Michael Tremba “Brakthrough to a Healthy You” to name a few. 10 Yoga Yoga is popular for so many reasons but one of my favorites….you can do it anywhere and anytime! With so many styles and methods you can never get bored or plateau. Yoga is widely known for improving health, balance, flexibility and promoting relaxation. Conclusion Even though Outside Activities did not make the top ten I want to let you now that we did make the top 20 coming in at #14! Yeah…people love getting outside to be active! I guess the good news is that no matter what your health and fitness goals are there’s a wide variety of choices available, literally something for everyone.   Support the Show Become an Outside Health and Fitness Fan, support the show and get exclusive rewards!
