Eat to Train
Looking to shed fat? One sure fire to get your body into fat-burning mode is to Eat often! Yes, you read right, eat often. It is important to follow a regular eating schedule. 1st: It keeps your blood sugar stable instead of peaking and crashing which can lead to overeating. 2nd: Regular meals will speed up your metabolism by challenging it to keep processing calories, rather than storing them in a game of feast and famine.
So here's the game plan:
Breakfast, morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea, dinner, dessert. Ensure protein in each meal--you can substitute morning and afternoon tea with a yummy protein shake!

| LIFE AFTER RUGBY |
 Finding a new Direction in Life after Rugby Kori (Filipo) Laulusa was once riding the glory of a contracted rugby player. As a young boy he stood out from the rest, earning a place on a senior rugby club team at the tender age of 16.
From there his career boomed as he spread his wings to France gaining a secure position on the French Libourne Team. However, much to his dismay, this all came to a screeching halt with a knee injury that wiped him completely out of the game.
Kori returned home to Samoa, with wordly experience (being mentored by elite rugby coaches), an injury and with his lovely and supportive French wife by his side. He was quickly snatched up by Nina Netzler von Reiche and now works alongside her as an Xtreme Performance Trainer and takes the Xtreme Challengers through their paces every Wednesday morning at Apia park.
He entered his first ever Body Building Competition after training with Nina for only three months and went straight to the top winning the Gold medal for the u85kg division. He is ecstatic about his achievements and the fact that body building training has helped him rehabilitate his knee.
Today Kori is a sought after trainer and will soon be contracted under Xtreme Performance to Aggie Greys Resort to train guests requiring an exclusive personal training session and spa treatment under Manaia Spa & Gym.
 Tahiti-bound at the end of the month, Kori is off with team Samoa hunting for a Gold Medal in the under 80kg Open men's division. Good Luck Kori!!! Above: Kori posing at Musclemania Samoa 2009 where he won Gold in his first Bodybuilding competition. Below: Rugby Days |

The event was held at the STA Fale where the day was breezy the sun was out, DJ Olga Keil was playing the hits and the BBQ beef was delicious and healthy. For $10 you could have a plate full of tasty BBQ Beef kindly donated by the event's Major sponsor, Clean Island Butchers. Refreshments included your choice of chocolate, caramel or vanilla Balance brand Protein Shakes from Xtreme Performance.
