Beating the Hardest part of Exercising

You know, I’m no expert, I don’t have a doctorate, I have not been through all those hours of studying that millions of people in this world go through to write about what they believe is the basis of an idea!, but what I do have, is a lot of experience. I know and have worked out with lots of people of different structures, different mentalities, different temperaments and different cultures. I have had the pleasure of knowing some pure power lifters, hardcore bodybuilders, fitness freaks and some once a year, one set per body part, “Oooh” and “Ahhh” people. There are times I look back and I think I have been through all the phases, except for the “once a year, one set per body part, “Oooh” and “Ahhh”” phase.

The thing is, that regardless of whether you are a beginner, intermediate or advanced athlete, there is something that all of us, have in common. We are all indecisive when we start. Well a majority of us, at least. This is the hardest part of exercising.

Quite often you will see a newbie standing around looking at the guy bench pressing a 100lbs barbell and you can see the look on the newbie’s face…. A look of “When will I be doing that?” Most times though, if you remember to look around again the next day, the guy just hasn’t come back and you will not see him again.

There are two reasons for that. Either gyms aren’t his thing or he just doesn’t want to be the smallest, weakest person around. I would say it is the latter. Most guys don’t want to be baring arms when, at their thickest, they are as big as the other guys wrist. Well this is for those people.

However thin/slim you are, every guy in the gym started like you. Bodybuilding is an art and perfection takes years. No two bodies are alike, so everyone that is sculpted is a masterpiece. Being the best takes years of learning, hard work, time, patience and the ability to be able to make mistakes and learn from them.

So, beating the hardest part of exercising is deciding to stick with it, and the easiest way to decide that is to simply make the commitment to stay with it for six months. If you are completely committed, I guarantee that you will see changes in three months and you will not leave it after that without ever wanting to come back.

Losing weight doing what you are doing

Ok this is one for the women….. If I could wave a magic wand and you could be thin (well slim) I don’t like the word thin….. How much would you pay? Well, let’s face facts, if I charged a buck I would be a rich man once word gets around I make women slim.


Save your money….


I am a nice guy, so I am going to put away my dreams of being a Million, or (being optimistic here) a Billionaire for a little while and tell you the one thing will the first step you take in order to get the figure you always wanted…..


You ready….. Eat at home.


There, now I know that a lot of you are saying that’s what we are already doing. But, Are you?


Majority of women eat at home, but that is only dinner. With the corporate world racing past and everyone trying to reach the top faster, a proper meal is the last thing on your mind. We are all looking at getting meals on the move, to save time and most of the time we hardly taste the food, because we treat our meals like water, a necessity, only to be eaten when hunger pangs hit us.


Eating on the move means food that is either filled with preservatives, deep fried and/or has little or no protein. So if you are eating out look for places like subway, and stay away from the mayonnaise.


Now eating at home is difficult if you are out, obviously, but planning ahead means that you can cook a meal to fit your schedule. Bonus, this also saves you money. Let’s say you have a meeting at your office and you have to commute in your lunch time to your next appointment. Now dinner was sweet and sour chicken, would you could do is simply take a little out, drain the sauce and use the chicken and the vegetables wrapped in a pita bread, or simply use a couple of slices to drop it on and make a vegetable/chicken sandwich. Try to keep as much of the protein as possible in there.


Now let me say that this is not THE way to lose weight but, it is a start in the right direction……
