5 Minute Fat Loss

Okay… I need a little help. I need someone to explain something to me.

Hear me out, please.

Whether we are trying to lose unwanted body fat or gain additional muscle to our bodies, nutrition comprises 70-80 percent of the equation when it comes to reaching our fitness goals. Cardio training and resistance training make up only the remaining 20-30 percent. This is an irrefutable fact! There is no questioning this. It has been documented and confirmed time and time again. Anyone who has walked into a health club, or read a fitness magazine has heard this concept.

That being said, here is my question:

People have been telling me for the last week that my previous post (Excuses Are For Losers, February 15, 2009) offended them and that they took some of my comments personally.

Want to know my response to them?

“Good!” 

They need to take it personally.

They need to be offended.

Brad is a 26 year-old bodybuilder that lives in Blue Springs, MO.

He is not a fictitious character.

He is a real person.

Brad has been exercising for about twelve years now. Brad isn’t a large man by any means. He weighs about 165 pounds. If you met Brad you wouldn’t think anything special is standing in front of you. He is a very kind, unassuming individual. But Brad is a special as it gets.

Brad has the heart of a lion and a will to live that is rare and exceptional.

Brad is what I want to be.

Brad loves life and is doing what is necessary to live.

Okay…I’m standing in the gym one day. It was a Friday. I know that because I had just finished with a grueling triceps and bicep workout. I look up in the mirror and see, what had to be eight of the skinniest, goofiest looking dudes come in. They all looked like a bunch of little Eminems (not the candies…the rapper). They all had on wife-beater undershirts (you know the tight fitting white ripped tanks). All of them had a little peach fuzz on their upper lip (a very weak mustache), and of course all of these kids thought they were Arnold Schwarzenegger.

So, after seeing these guys walk in I thought to myself, “Self, something really funny is about to happen.” So I decided to hang around for a little bit while watching these guys. Here in my town these guys are local high-school football players…well, they are on the team. They are all little clones of each other, a bunch of little freaks that think they are bigger and stronger than what they really are. They thought they were so cool. They had their “posse” and felt that everyone should be concerned about them. Apparently the high school gym was closed for the day so they thought they would grace us with their presence. Thank God they did!

I remember, years ago – we’re talking over three decades ago, and I was talking with my college soccer coach shortly after being selected for the NAIA National All-Tournament Team. He told me that I was so much bigger than the other atletes in the tournament and that maybe I should lose some muscle if I wished to continue my soccer career professionally…

That wouldn’t be the last time I was told I was getting too big…
