Speech Topics

 

The Business Plan for the Body

 

Utilizing the concepts outlined in his #1 New York Timesbestseller, Jim uses the analogy of a classic business plan and applies it to a step-by-step plan to successfully lose weight and, most importantly, keep it off. The three components Jim highlights in achieving success are how to eat properly, exercise effectively and make simple lifestyle changes that will make all the difference in your program.

 

Flip the Switch

 

For many people, the biggest challenge in beginning a weight loss program is getting started. How many times have you said or heard the excuses such as, “I don’t have the time”, “I don’t have the money,” “I love to eat” or “I hate to exercise”? Jim says the key is to Flip The Switch, that is, get to the point where the desire to lose weight finally becomes more important than the desire to overeat and not exercise. Using the principles outlined in his second bestseller, Flip The Switch, Jim examines these obstacles and then provides a sensible and comprehensive action plan to overcome each barrier once and for all.

 

Balancing Act: Finding Time for a Healthy Body

 

Jim knows how difficult it is to juggle work, family, have some semblance of a social life and still find some time for YOU. Every bit of research points to the fact that the more time you spend on you, the more you improve your productivity, creativity, memory, patience and energy levels. At that same time, by following a healthier eating and exercise plan, you decrease the negative effects of stress, which affect everyone to some degree. Corporations throughout the country realize this is an issue and Jim provides advice on how to effectively enhance your life at home, in the office, while traveling and, most importantly, during the inevitable high stress times throughout the year.

 

The Energy Factor

 

Time is notour most precious commodity: Energy is.

Anyone who has seen Jim Karas speak would agree that he has what appears to be an unlimited supply of energy. The reason for this is simple: Jim eats, sleeps, exercises and lives in a way that optimizes his energy levels. Jim discusses how you, too, can make small changes in your routine to maximize your energy and, conversely, points out where you are probably making some mistakes that could be robbing you of it. By following Jim’s simple, yet effective advice you will be on the road to optimizing your energy and getting the most from your body and mind each and every day.

 

The Strength Solution for Seniors

 

Jim discusses the art of aging successfully and, more importantly, how to do it independently. Jim answers questions such as, “What is aging?”, “What is the biggest factor affecting how you age?”, and “What can I do to slow the aging process?” In addition to talking about how to eat the right foods, maintain a healthy weight and exercise properly, Jim downplays the role genes figure in this game of aging (they only count for 30% of the aging process – surprised?) and empowers you with the knowledge and tools to take control of your own health, at any age.

 

Ladies: Fight Fat After 40

As the Fitness Contributor to ABC’s Good Morning Americaand a Contributing Editor to Good Housekeeping, Jim has researched the most effective ways for women to combat excess weight as they age. Jim examines a variety of issues and identifies the variables that are unique to women as they strive to successfully maneuver the aging process. Jim also addresses the unique demands placed on women, whether they be working, staying at home, raising children, caring for a parent or any number of factors that fall on a woman’s shoulders. He discusses issues that affect body composition ranging from the effects of pregnancy, menopause, and osteoporosis to an examination of the physiological differences between men and women, and how to overcome their respective disadvantages and challenges.
