Walk into a gym any gym across the country and take a real good look around at how people are working out in hopes to lose weight. Do you notice the theme?
Here is the theme. Those that have anywhere from decent to great bodies are all hanging out with the free weights doing HARD exercises like squats, bench, lunges, step-ups, deadlifts, db rows and other real compound exercises. On the contrary those that have anywhere from 25,50,75+ pounds to lose will walk in and jump on an elliptical at level 1 for 20-40 minutes without hardly sweating at all and then go over to the machines. Once at the machines they will do some machine chest press, leg curls/ext’s, hip adductors/abductors, calves etc. Golly Gee do you think that will actually burn off over 50 lbs of weight in this lifetime? NO!
So, why don’t people realize this and change there ways?
Because they really don’t notice it. It’s just like that rich neighbor you have that has a ton of money and cars but you never really notice that 70-80 hour work week it takes them to achieve that. We always notice the more materialistic or superficial things because that is just how human nature works and it is very hard to be aware of it consistently. I know I personally fall victim to this often.
So, the next time you go into a gym notice what people are really doing to achieve their bodies…how hard they are actually working…the exercises they are doing, the intensity in their face…and oh yes the protein shake they chug after they are done.
I know this is just a rant but as a society we never really look at all the work it takes to achieve anything instead we just notice the end result and choose to envy that. So, next time as hard as it may be try to envy the hard work and determination it took that person to really achieve that body they have because that is the only way to achieve it for yourself and to appreciate it and maintain it once you have it.
Till next time have a great Christmas and Happy New Year,
Brian

I found your site on google. I couldn’t agree more. Weight loss isn’t rocket science like some people would have you believe. It just takes some dedication and discipline. I will definately be back to check your site.

Hey, found your site by accident doing a search on Google but I’ll definitely be coming back. As for your post… I agree with a lot of what you’re saying here but wouldn’t it be just as easy to move on? I mean why mess with your quality of life if you don’t have to?
