Big things have been taking place for Physiques’N’Weeks, LLC and it’s owner Jason Goodrich during the summer of 2011!
First, Jason was awarded the contract to train Carlos Boozer of the Chicago Bulls (NBA)!
Second, he was chosen to assist World renowned strength and conditioning guru Tim Grover at The Dwayne Wade Fantasy Camp!
Mr. Grover is the man responsible for training some of the NBA’s elite, including: Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Kobe Bryant, and Dwayne Wade to name a few. Jason was responsible for getting the 60+ campers ready for battle each morning by taking them through a dynamic warm up and stretch. He was given complete autonomy over the morning sessions and quickly gained the confidence and respect of all who were in attendance. By the camps conclusion, Jason was told that he would be working with any NBA player(s) sent to Miami by Mr. Grover!
The camp consisted of well to do business men from all over the country who loved to play the game of basketball. This was Wade’s first camp, as he has taken over for NBA legend Michael Jordan. Feedback was tremendous, as the camp has already sold out for next year! Top level college coaches and former NBA greats were among the participants over the 4 day camp. NBA analysts Tim Legler and Stephen A. Smith were just a few of the people who actually came to Jason for some inside information concerning his new client! The only thing he would reveal: “When we’re finished, Boozer will be one of the best conditioned athletes in the league!”
Stay tuned!

Pre-Tax Health Savings Accounts Will Still Cover Weight-Loss Programs
This coming January, people with certain health problems may be able to use doctor’s orders to help with work out expenses. Weight-loss programs managed to remain on the list of medical expenses eligible for pre-tax health savings account coverage, after the IRS made revisions to the U.S. tax code. In order to qualify as a medical expense, the weight loss must be for the treatment of a specific disease (i.e., hypertension, obesity or heart disease) diagnosed by a physician.
Activities for the improvement of appearance, general health or sense of well-being are not considered a medical expense. Additionally, though consumers cannot include gym membership fees, they can include fees paid separately for a weight reduction group or program.
You can find more information on IRS Publication 502 online at IRS.gov.
It’s the holiday season, and along with the gifts and giving, also comes big meals and weight gain. But you don’t have to gain the weight! You can still eat all the yummy food and not gain the typical holiday pounds. Just follow these tips:
- Don’t skip breakfast and avoid overeating at holiday meals – Eat breakfast and do not attempt to fast going into these meals, or you will overeat for sure.
- Plan what you eat before and after holiday meals to avoid weight gain – Lighten up on your calorie intake a couple of days before and after. Your weekly average intake is more important than one day’s intake, and you can balance it out if you are careful.
- Small plate = smaller portions = reduced calorie intake – Use a small plate: This keeps your portions in check. Sure, you can still pile high but that tends to get stares from other guests.
- Don’t deprive yourself of food, just reduce the amount you eat over the holiday season – Go ahead and get a dab of everything that you want to try; this will keep you from feeling deprived later.
- Make wise food choices so you enjoy the holidays – Do, however, choose between the bread and dessert. One or the other, your choice.
