Two girls at the beach were admiring the passing scene, which included a bodybuilder who was strutting his best. “That’s my type,” said the first girl. “Well, I don’t know,” the other replied. ”I have a friend who married a man that owns a two-car garage, but he just keeps a bicycle in it!“
There’s a postulate in quantum physics that states, “We don’t know how much we don’t know.” This statement rings out such resounding truth when it comes to weight training… and, yes, sex… but for now we’ll stick to the topic of weight training.
Sunday was Soccer Day—a day in which I do nothing but watch English Premier League soccer, and I occasionally switch over to see how the Chiefs are doing.
You see, I love soccer
But Sunday, perhaps out of boredom (maybe even frustration with the soccer game ANDthe Chiefs), I spent 91 minutes watching a movie that I watched maybe twice when it first made it to the silver screen: Rocky IV.
I didn’t give it much thought back when it first came out, but WOWwhat a motivational story. Read the Rest of this Article…

As a personal trainer, I have been approached many times by clients or other women in the gym asking me questions on the best ways to “tone up, lose cellulite, get a butt that ’sticks out’, get a sexy stomach…” the list goes on.
My answers are always the same. There is no magic pill or powder or even secret that trainers, professional athletes or fitness models are keeping from the general public. It all comes down to hard work, being conscious of your diet and, most importantly, being consistent.
If it were easy everyone would be in perfect shape all of the time. To quote Bill Cosby,
“In order to succeed, the desire for success
must be greater than the fear of failure.”
Question: How can I be thin like the models in the magazines?
Answer:Thin people are the exception, rather than the rule, despite what the magazines portray. Most images in magazines are “computer slimmed” – they really are not that skinny. The average American woman is a size 14,so your aim should be not to be “thin”, rather, it should be to become healthy, full of energy and within the healthy weight range for your age and height. There is no such thing as an “ideal weight” but there is a healthy weight range you can work toward by making healthy food and exercise choices.
In gyms, playing fields, beaches, and bedrooms across the country, our bodies are constantly being measured. And in dressing room mirrors and on bathroom scales, we’re constantly measuring ourselves. But let’s set aside those vanity measurements and concentrate on measuring ourselves by a different set of criteria – the number of fat cells we’re carrying.
The average American has about30 billion fat cells; each of them is filled with greasy substances called lipids. When you pump doughnuts, corn chips, and fried Snickers bars into your system, those fat cells can expand – up to 1,000 times their original size.But a fat cell can get only so big; once it reaches its physical limit, it starts to behave like a long-running sitcom. It creates spin-offs, leaving you with two or more fat cells for the price of one.Only problem: Fat cells have a no-return policy. Once you have a fat cell, you’re stuck with it. So as you grow fatter and double the number of fat cells in your body, you also double the difficulty you’ll have losing the lipids inside them.

Success in any exercise program… and in LIFE, for that matter… depends largely on the attitude that a person brings to his endeavors. I want to touch on the importance of a positive mindset in achieving your ideal body.
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.
