Get in Shape for the New Year… WHY???

I’m going to be 59 this year and I’ve been working out for 38 years. I’ve been training people for 28 years. And while there are a few SECRETS to eating and training right, it surely is NOT nuclear physics.

You all KNOW the tremendous benefits of sound nutrition and regular exercise for you and your entire family. Then why the heck are we a country full of mostly fat, sick and poorly conditioned people?

A big part of the answer comes from a book my oldest daughter gave me for Christmas a few years back. It’s probably not part of any course she’s taking in college since it talks about what it means to be a real man and a real woman. This seems to be a touchy subject in our culture and the writer puts it in your face, pulling no punches.

He contends that deep in his heart, every man longs for a BATTLE TO FIGHT, an ADVENTURE TO LIVE and a BEAUTY TO RESCUE. And the longing of the woman is equally exciting as the Great Adventure is SHARED.

I’ll bet that if you had a big reason to REALLY LIVE, then training and eating right to get in shape would have some URGENCY. If you had some BIG DREAMS to chase, you would need your health to be at its optimal.

It’s okay to be angry if you’ve allowed yourself to get swallowed up in a way of life that has sapped your strength and robbed your vitality. Don’t make any ‘doomed to fail’ resolutions or excuses. Develop new HABITS. CHANGE your ATTITUDE and CHANGE the way you THINK… AND you’ll end up in the best shape of your life- Physically, Mentally and Spiritually!!!

I’m always asked about the BEST exercise for to do for troubling body parts. The BEST exercise we can do to start the year is to stop and THINK first. See where you are and what direction you should take. To that end I am offering a free e-gift. Just send me an email and I will send you a tool I have used many times over the years. It will change your life—for the better. Happy New Year!
