I just got back home from Afghanistan and as you may have guessed I'm pretty burnt... it's going to take some time for me to write that email so let me bring you up to date for now... I've got a great Karma story at the end of this email... I am happy to report we are finally doing our first YRG Certification classes on April 12th and 13th in Los Angeles, CA ... I have had people writing me from all over the world wondering how they can get certified to teach the YRG workout. I am looking for this to be a pretty big turnout, so sign up ASAP because it's on a first come, first serve basis since space is limited. This informative two-day workshop gives instructors the tools to create dynamic, user-friendly, YRG Workout classes and personal training. The program includes correct physical execution, transitions and modifications to YRG Movements, sequencing, individual and class formats. You will also learn effective ways to communicate the methods of developing safe teaching skills for all YRG positions. This program is designed for those interested in teaching YRG, practicing YRG, and learning The YRG Workout. For experienced YRG instructors, this workshop will offer new skills to properly teach a one-on-one YRG personal training program or teach YRG classes in the mainstream health club or gym environment, focusing on the physical fitness benefits of the YRG Workout. And yes, you will get hands-on experience guided by me, DDP, and Dr. Craig Aaron the "Yoga-Doc". Attendees who pass the course will receive a Certificate of Completion which qualifies them to teach The YRG Workout style classes or give personal YRG Workout training. If you're interested in pricing plans and an application go to www.YRGWorkout.com and hit "Get YRG Certified" ... If you're thinking of coming I would really appreciate it if you would put your app in ASAP because I trying to get an idea how many people will be attending. I wanna congratulate Casey Smith, who is a new member of Team YRG, and has already lost 37 pounds in his first 30 days... Damn, Casey, you not only beat Arthur who started at 5' 8'' 297 lost 34 and pounds his first 30 but you also beat record holder Big Rob who started at 6'1'' 476 and lost 36 pounds in the first 30 days. Casey accomplished this over the holidays which really takes dedication to a whole other level! I am really impressed... if you wanna see Casey's after pictures or his other YRG workout positions pictures go to the site and check him out...
Another great story I got was about a mother and daughter in Gainsville, FL. The YRG Workout is not only about weight loss as Jamie and Lexie use it as a way to bond and feel great! Check them out at www.myspace.com/jamiegutman. A lot of you have told me how much Arthur's video that his son Warren edited inspired you. Well Pro Indy Wrestler Chris Hawk was so inspired that he took it to another level and issued a fitness challenge and he is putting YRG in one corner vs. any other fitness program that wants to step up in the other. Here is part of his blog: I have decided that I am going to start a regular program, YRG. Yoga for Regular Guys is that fitness phenom that Diamond Dallas Page has taken to a HIGH DEGREE of prominence. I have seen DDP extolling the virtues of YRG for a while now, but like a lot of macho men I thought Yoga? Yeah, right! But I was fortunate to run across DDP's MySpace page and on it he has several videos of different people and what YRG has done for them. I remember seeing DDP on "The Best Damn Sports Show PERIOD" once and he was just going on and on and on about YRG, but I remember thinking "Yeah, right, dude." Usually when people say if it works for them it will work for anyone. And that's what he was saying. He said that his mobility wasn't what it should be from his time in wrestling; he had almost no flexibility. But I was thinking he was an experienced athlete. He, by virtue of making it to the top of the wrestling world, MUST be more predisposed to something like YOGA to work. Hell, in my mind, he could chase mice around trees and become highy in-shaped. In my messed up way of thinking. And I kept thinking that way...until I met Arthur. Chris is a guy I've never met until he emailed me on myspace. To check out the rest of his blog at www.myspace.com/chrishawkisgreat and see who's stepping up... We have gotten a great response to the new YRG website www.YRGWorkout.com.If you haven't already, I encourage you to check it out and post a comment in the forums if you want.
Next week I'll fill you in all the Great stories I have from Afghanistan... Get Healthy... Stay Strong... Be Unstoppable and Do your YRG or else! D. Dallas Page

To any of you who don't know this, whenever anyone purchases any YRG Workout dvd, I always try to follow it up with an email (if for some reason you didn't get an email from me it most likely ended up in your spam filter... Sorry)... and btw it's not coming from an electronic automatic email response, it's actually me who takes the time to personally send out each and every email... Well a little over a month ago, I sent out an email out to someone who had bought the YRG Workout Regular Guys dvd package with the autograph picture... Her name is Betsy and she requested that I personalize it to he boyfriend Adam for Christmas (which of course I did) because he was big fan and loved the book... I love it when that happens... But Betsy took her email a step farther. She also let me know that if I was ever coming to Washington DC that she would do her best to hook me up because she is a publicist for some of the bigger Hotels and restaurants in the DC area... Now this actually happens to me quite a bit, but most times I can't take advantage of people's generosity. I believe everything happens for a reason because I just happened to laying over for two days in DC on my way to Afghanistan to meet with some Professional Speaking agencies... So I took Betsy up on her offer and I have to tell you I had the best time... Betsy hooked me up at the MayFlower Hotel which is the Hotel in DC... and if that wasn't enough she also got one of her best friends Exaire to drive to all my meetings... Later that day Betsy hooked me up with a bunch of newspaper PR as we went to the May Flower gym to do The YRG workout. Oh yeah, what I didn't tell you is that Adam, Betsy's boy friend, had no idea that he was not only going to meet me and boy was it a surprise... like the Diamond Cutter he never saw it coming. That night we all went to dinner and had a hell of a time... I feel like I grew up with these guys ... Of course, we all did a YRG workout before we went out... Thanks for a Great time guys... that was some good Karma....jpg)
The next day Steve Yu who is filming the inspirational movie called "Inspired" came down to shoot Arthur, Dylan and I for his movie... I can't wait to see this movie when it's completed because I know he has some great footage of both of those guys...
