28 Day Flat Belly Formula (ends today)

First off, I just want to congratulate everyone who secured their spot in my 28 Flat Belly Formula program (beta group).

If you missed the email I sent a couple days ago. Here are the details of the program for you...

See, while working with a few of my fitness training clients I stumbled upon a faster way to burn belly fat and to flatten your abs.

So I decided to test out my new fitness discovery with a beta test group. And that's where you come in because I'm only taking on 19 people for this 28 day program and I'm charging a fraction of what I normally charge for my training programs.

• I'm calling it the "28 Day Flat Belly Formula"
• The entire program is only going to be 28 days long It's in the name
• I'm going to provide you with a done for you meal plan crafted to help you increase your metabolism and burn more fat. (This is NOT a diet, it's a 28 day modified meal plan where all you have to do is read it, and eat it.)
• You'll need to workout with me  3-5 times per week online, at your gym, fitness center, home, or favorite workout space, during the 28 day program.
• The workouts will be challenging, even hard at times, but never impossible. And you'll always have motivation and accountability from me and the rest of the group via facebook, email, and phone contact.
• Here's the best part... even though we're going to work on burning belly fat and flattening and defining your abs, we're not going to do a single crunch or sit up. (imagine that, a sexy mid section and a flat belly without doing traditional ab exercises).
• At the end of the 28 days you should see weight loss of 12-19 pounds and flatter, more defined mid section. (you'll probably drop a clothes size or two)
• The program starts this coming Monday

Now, typically my clients pay around $247/month or more to get personal training from me.

But since this is going to be the first time (beta group online) that I try out this program on "non-clients" I'm not going to charge anything  for the entire 28 day flat belly training program AND meal plan. That's right the entire 28 day flat belly training program is free and then it is only 66 cents per day if you want to continue burning fat and flattening your belly!

I decided to only take on 19 participants for the beta program, and since sending out the last email, 11 people locked in their spot leaving only 8 spots open.

If you want one of these 8 spots and are ready to burn more fat, and Flatten your belly starting this Monday then please click here and sign up to lock in one of the 8 remaining spots Thanks a bunch!

CRSCBL All-Star Game Recap

All-Star Game Recap  The Big Train was well represented at yesterday's CRCBL ASG.   PHOTOS: CRCBL Home Run Derby & All-Star Game   In a game where the pitching was phenomenal and hits were hard to come by, the South All-Stars (Bethesda Big Train's team) beat out the North All-Stars 2-1.    The All-Star day event was great, from the batting practice to the 60 yard dash and from the Home Run Derby to the game itself. In the Home Run Derby, Wes Rea (Mississippi State) was the only competitor from the Big Train roster and he made his mark. In the first round he was able to get the crowd behind him, as every ball was thrown the crowd gasped and watched as Rea unloaded on the ball. Rea finished the first round with three home runs and made it to the finals, but was unable to hit a four bagger, resulting in a second place finish. In the game, the South All Stars had to wait until the seventh inning to record their first hit. After Logan Farrar (Virginia Commonwealth) walked in the 7th inning, Brandon Lowe(Maryland) singled. Both scored on later at-bats on ground outs by two different South players. Brandon Lowe's run proved to be the game winner, and he was named the All-Star Game MVP. Josh Thorne (Stetson) pitched the second inning for the South All-Stars. He gave up one hit while striking out a batter in a quick inning. Sean Labsan (Florida Atlantic) pitched the 4th inning and put the North All-Stars away in order, while striking out one batter.Tim Yandel (Tulane) closed the game and recorded a save in his 1-2-3 inning in the 9th.

New Big Train General Manager   Upon the conclusion of this season, there will be a new General Manger.  Adam Dantus, the team's General Manager for the past three seasons, will be stepping down to accept a position with the Washington Nationals. Effective August 1st, Eddie Herndon will be promoted to General Manager. Eddie has been with the Big Train for the past two years, most recently serving as Assistant GM. Eddie's commitment, knowledge of the operation, and passion for Big Train will ensure a smooth transition and continued growth for the team.

Coppin State men’s basketball to begin 2014-15 season at Oregon

BALTIMORE – The Michael Grant era will begin at the University of Oregon on Friday, November 14 when he leads the Coppin State men’s basketball program into Matthew Knight Arena for its 2014-15 season opening contest.

The game time has not been announced yet.

This will be the Eagles’ second trip in as many years to the state of Oregon. Coppin State defeated Oregon State, 78-73, last year. The opener against Oregon will also be the second straight season, the Eagles will start against a Pac-12 opponent.

The Eagles will be different when they hit the floor to begin the season. Coppin State hired Grant from Division II Stillman College. Coppin State, which won 12 games last season and advanced to the MEAC semifinals has 11 players returning.

Senior guard Taariq Cephas, senior forward Dallas Gary, senior guard Daquan Brickhouse, senior forward Arnold Fripp, senior forward Brandon St. Louis, and junior guard Sterling Smith are among the top returning players for the Eagles this season. Cephas, who averaged 9.4 points per game, finished third in the MEAC in assists per game (4.1). Smith is the Eagles leading returning scorer (10.9 ppg.). He also led the Eagles with 60 3-pointers.

Meanwhile, Oregon enjoyed a strong 2013-14 season, posting an overall record of 24-10 which included a 10-8 mark in league play. The Ducks advanced to the NCAA tournament for the second consecutive year, which was the fourth time in Oregon men’s basketball history that occurred. The Ducks defeated BYU in the second round before falling to Wisconsin in the third round.

Oregon will be led by senior Joseph Young, who averaged 18 points per game last season. The Ducks led the Pac-12 in scoring with 81.9 points per game in 2013-14. Oregon was ninth in the conference in scoring defense. Other key returnees for the Ducks include seniors Elgin Cook and Jalil Abdul-Bassit.

Overall, Coppin State’s 13-game non-conference schedule features opponents from the Pac 12, Big 10, American, ACC, CAA, MAC, and OVC.

The remainder of the schedule along with a huge road date against one of men’s basketball’s elite programs will be released at a later date.
