Quotation of the Week

"Eliminate your ego and be open to what works. I don't care what you like. The only thing that matters is the result. It doesn't matter what the sign says, what the magazines say, what you think should happen. What actually happens is the only important thing." - Alwyn Cosgrove


Okay, maybe you've heard one idea about exercise over and over again throughout your whole life. BUT... maybe that one idea has been an ineffective exercise modality. Other ideas have proven themselves to be WAY more effective toward the goals that you are striving for.

So, why the heck are you holding on to that old, broken idea?? Is it pure loyalty? Is it blind trust in popular magazines and media outlets? Or is it simply the fear of change? Or maybe you just want to continue hoping that you'll get a different result by doing the same thing over and over and over...

If a 'new' idea is proven to work in the exercise world - and by that I mean, there are stacks upon stacks of testimonials and before/after pictures and solid proof to back up the efficacy of this different exercise idea - then maybe, just maybe, YOU should give it a try!!

Stop fighting it, friends. Stop hearing my words, and then ignoring them because some ridiculous women's magazine article perpetuated your old, tired, useless, outdated exercise idea!

I'm trying to help you. I'm trying to get you to give up something that is a waste of time. AND, I'm trying to pass on the strategies that will get you exactly where you want to be, physically. People like myself and Alwyn Cosgrove, the fat loss expert quoted above, are trying to give you what you want! Stop fighting it!!

You may get upset at me because it scares you to give up your precious cardio, start lifting some actual weights, add starchy carbs back into your diet, and say yes to fats like cheese. It goes against your internal belief system because you've had certain ideas pounded into your head for so, so, SO long...

But, don't be scared. Don't be upset. Give something new a chance. You can't experience a drastic change in your physique overnight. So, if you attempt something new, and stick with it consistently, for 2-4 weeks... your before and after measurements will tell you the truth about whether the idea really works or not.

So, you gotta be open to the "new" stuff. Otherwise, you'll just have to be satisfied with the way you are right now. What do ya think about that idea?? Yeah, I thought so...
