Bootcamp

Admin — Mon, 30 Mar 2009 09:00:00 +0000

Let me start off by saying that my schedule has been nuts this past year and I have been so excited about having some time off so you can imagine when I found out that there was going to be a “bootcamp” set up this past weekend for the eliminated contestants from Season 7, I was way too tired to commit. So I went out this past Saturday to check up on them and give them a workout….. well let me tell you, I had the best time with them! They were all so happy to be there and it was such a positive experience. We had a great workout and a GREAT time just reconnecting. I was so excited about our experience that I set up a time to go out there again on Sunday AND today, which is Monday. I was juggling 15 people at a time and doing my best to give them the best possible workout and then every day we finished off with a great meditation. It was FANTASTIC!! There are times when we are shooting the show that filming and many other things, especially THE GAME, interfere with the work that is the most important to me, working out. So now all of a sudden I have a whole group of people that are there because they want to be and we have no other agenda other than health and wellness. It has got me thinking about doing some sort of bootcamp that is open to the public that people can come for a long weekend of working out, motivational speaking, hiking, nutrition, yoga and meditation. I would be very interested in your thoughts on this, so let me know. Most all of the eliminated people are doing great and it was really fun to work with some people that I didn’t get a chance to work with during their stay on the ranch, namely Jerry & Estella from the white team, Blaine from the black team and Daniel from the orange team. I LOVED them!! They were amazing. I got to feel so reenergized from working with them and I am so grateful that I got this opportunity. Let me know your thoughts on my idea of Bob’s Bootcamp. Would you come?? I’m going to see Billy Joel and Elton John tonight. I will tell you all about it…..

Destiny

Hey everyone….. I hope you had a good day. Well I just got back from Detroit MI working, which was great but I gotta tell you that the car industry is really hurting right now there and you can feel it in the air. This economy has got to turn around and we really do have to trust the process and trust our leaders right now. It brings me to a very good point that I always talk to my contestant’s about on the show, I have a sign in the the gym that says, “Believe in yourself, trust the process, change forever.” This is a time that we must trust the process. This holds true with people that want to change their lives for whatever reason, in my industry it is all about health. So when you decide to make a change and you have 20lbs or 200lbs to lose, what you must do is trust that what you do today will really make a difference in the big picture. All you can do is think about the day at hand. Did you make the proper food choices? Did you make time to exercise? Are you taking responsibility for your actions? Are you in control of your life? Your destiny? Just put your mind and your efforts into this day and trust the process, knowing that what you are doing WILL make a difference. I watched The Oprah Show today, LOVE HER!!!!! Anyway, she was talking about people that were morbidly obese and I’m not talking about my friends on the show, I’m talking 800lbs and more. It was gut wrenching to see their struggles and they also showed a rehab center for the morbidly obese, which makes so much sense because I have always said that overeating is an addiction to food. It was so hard to see people that have lost all hope and that have let go, for whatever reason, but having a rehab center for people that need that support was very uplifting. It was a powerful show. I hope you got to see it.

Now onto some personal news. I have been dealing with a foot injury….UGH!!! I have what is called a Morton’s Neuroma in my left foot and it has been so painful during all of season 7. I thought it would go away but it didn’t so now I have been fitted for orthotics and today I was able to run 6 miles. I was so happy not to have that pain today. We will see if they continue to work.

I’m excited that the eliminated contestants are coming back this weekend for a boot camp before the finale which is May 12th. It is going to be so much fun to see everyone and work them out again. We have never done this before so I know they are excited and so am I. Okay, I hope you all have a good and healthy dinner tonight and I will speak to you very soon. xoxox

Traveling

Admin — Thu, 08 Jan 2009 09:00:00 +0000

Hey guys….so check it out, I have been doing alot of traveling. I flew to NYC on Sunday and got to hang out with some good friends of mine for a little bit and then on Monday morning I had to go to the rehearsal for the Regis and Kelly show. They wanted me to wear workout clothes but I didn’t really want to so I said no. I don’t think that the producer was too happy with me but in the end, I didn’t think it really mattered. After the rehearsal, I went and did a little shopping a couple of my favorite stores in NY, Rick Owens, Jeffrey and Atelier. They are the BEST men’s stores in NY and I had too much fun buying some new clothes…..I like to shop way too much, hahahaha. After that I went to Barney’s uptown and had lunch with a friend of mine. I ate a few french fries and the waiter looked at me with judgement…..he asked me if I really wanted that. I thought that was funny. Later that night I went to an off Broadway show called, The Marvelous Wonderettes. It was very cute and the lead girl had an amazing voice. After a busy day, I went back to my hotel and prepared for a very busy Tuesday. I got up early and did the Today Show to promote Season 7 and then jumped into a car to quickly get to The Regis and Kelly Show. They were so nice to me and we had a great time. I loved Kelly!!! She is so tiny and so sweet. I just wanted to squeeze her. When I was finished with that I had to get to the airport and fly to Minneapolis, MN and boy was it cold. I had the rest of the day off so I walked around town. They have structured their city with tunnels and tubes to get from one building to the next without ever going outside. I decided to brave the outside because I live in LA and we don’t get weather like that. I then went back to my hotel. I stayed at a place called, The Chambers and I absolutely love this hotel. I am fond of modern art and they have a great collection. Check it out on their website sometime. I got in a good workout at the hotel and then I got ready and watched the premiere with a producer from my show and some people that work with General Mills. We had a really good time and I thought the show was great!!!! Wait until you see me yell next week. I had a contestant that really pushed me over the edge….we made up. After the show, we had a little dinner and I went back to my room and CRASHED!!! The next morning I did an interview live on a radio station there and then I was off to General Mills to speak to the employees and executives there and I had the BEST TIME!! Everyone was so great and we are so excited about the launch of The Pound for Pound Challenge. If you haven’t made a pledge yet, GET ON IT!! I am going to have my face on cereal boxes which is kind of cool. They presented me with a box of Wheaties with me on the box and I thought that was SO COOL!! So the next time you are at the grocery store, look for me in the cereal aisle. When all that was done, I went to a local school and hung out with some 8th graders, which was alot of fun and then it was back to LA. I got home last night, watched the premiere of Damages and got up early this morning and had to speak to a bunch of radio stations live over the phone promoting my book, Are You Ready! that just came out in paperback. If you haven’t gotten it yet, get it today!!! After that, I got to workout a writer for Yahoo that wanted to get a Biggest Loser workout and boy did I give her the workout of her life. She was hurting and I had the best time doing it. You will get to see it on yahoo’s home page soon because we shot the whole thing…..get ready to laugh. When that was done, I went and worked out and now I’m here…..boy am I tired!!!!

Today Show with Regis and Kelly

Hey everybody on MyTrainerBob.com! It’s your trainer, Bob.

Well it is Wednesday morning, the morning after the premiere of Season 7 of The Biggest Loser and I gotta say… it was GREAT!!! All of those contestants are so great and in need of help. I was so moved by Nicole on the scale in tears. She just broke my heart. And did you see the previews for next week? I have a complete breakdown. LOL! I really lost my mind that day and I don’t do that. Wait until you see it. You are gonna crack up.

Well I just left NYC yesterday after doing the Today Show with Regis and Kelly. All the guys at The Today Show are so great. I love doing that show with them. I did Regis and Kelly for the first time yesterday and they were so nice to me. Kelly is TINY!!! When we were rolling all over those balls together, I had the best time with them. I can’t wait to go back to that show.

Now it is Wednesday morning and I’m in Minneapolis meeting with the guys at General Mills because we have launched a program called, The Pound for Pound Challenge. We are motivating people to lose weight and with every pound people pledge to lose, General Mills will donate one pound of food… almost 1 million pounds has already been pledged!!! I love all the people out there that want to make 2009 a great and positive year.

So remember that it is the first week of January and we MUST stay on track. It is time to start this new way of living with healthy eating and moving your body around more. 2009 is gonna be OUR YEAR!!! Whatever you want, you can achieve it. I believe in you. Well, I’m off to work but I will check in with you guys later. Let me know how things are going for you and please start building up your support group!!!
