I’ve just posted a new poll question on my Squidoo lens asking readers to give me their single, biggest obstacle or challenge keeping them from having six pack abs. If you have 15 seconds, can you please give me your thoughts? Thanks.

Over the last 2 days I’ve spent some quality time updating my six pack abs lens over at Squidoo. There is lots of good content there now. I’ll probably do some more updating this week as well.
Well, that’s all for today. Now I’m ready for some football !!

The countdown to the New Year has begun. We are less than 45 days a way from the busiest month a personal trainer has each year. As you can probably surmise, January produces more new training prospects and clients than any other month of the year. February is a close second.
But I can’t help but wonder if the U.S. financial crisis will put a crimp in some (or many?) people’s best laid plans to lose weight and build muscle using a personal trainer.
After all, having your own trainer is a discretionary expense. It’s not a necessity like food, clothing or shelter. It just may not fit into the personal budget this year for some.
However, let me posit the following argument right here and now:
Getting fit – losing weight, burning fat & building lean muscle with or without personal training – is a necessity! That’s right, I said it’s a necessity. Why? Because your quality of life is so dependent on a healthy mind and body… It affects nearly every aspect of your existence:
- Lifespan
- Whether or not you develop a chronic disease and to what degree
- Vitality & energy
- Mental health
- Ability to perform routine activities of daily living
Being able to positively improve these areas of has MANY BENEFITS:
- Have more fun & live longer for yourself & those who love you
- Peace of mind knowing you’re reducing the odds of getting cancer or heart disease
- Quality ‘activity time’ with your children
- More zest and enthusiasm for life
- Improved sexual performance
- And so much more…
If you can’t find the time or have the discipline to get back in shape yourself, you must get outside help now! If you’re middle-aged, it’s not too late to reverse nasty things like heart disease and type 2 diabetes. Again, your life depends on your health and fitness. Getting back in shape is a NECESSITY – not discretionary – unless of course you don’t value your life as you should.
I hope you value your life… I hope you care about your children enough to get yourself back in shape. I hope you care about having more energy to tackle the up’s and downs of life.
Are you tired of being out of shape? Call (845) 223-8168 or email me today and I’ll help you create a fitness and fat loss program that will give you the body and the quality of life you deserve. It’s time to get fit and healthy and look good doing it!
