Book Intro Idea

A lot of the things that ail you are directly related to the things you eat and the things you do. The extra weight you carry around in the form of unwanted body fat is killing you. You already know that. You know that extra body fat leads to increased chance of heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes and some cancers. I am not going to beat that into your brain any more than you already know from reading the news or watching TV. But what you may not realize is the extent it is affecting your life right now. Excess fat on your body affects your mental health, your self-image, your sex life, your complexion, the effectiveness of your immune system, your energy levels and much more. It can make you more irritable, indirectly affect your relationships, affect your sleep and impact your overall happiness.

I am not a full-time fitness professional. I am a full-time engineer that works in an office. I have a busy job, a lovely wife I want to keep a great relationship with, two kids to take and pick up from school, couple dogs, house and bills .... you get the idea. I used to be very overweight. I wasn't the biggest guy in the world, but I had over 65 pounds to lose and I had to figure out how I can keep living my life but still be really healthy. I do not live at a gym. I have to plan and make things work in my everyday life so being fit doesn't detract from my life ... it has to add to it. It is an investment. The time and energy invested has to be more beneficial to me and my family outside of just looking better.

I present this free book as a practical perspective on fitness.

The goal of this book is to inspire and guide you to making permanent changes to your lifestyle which will improve nearly every area of your life.

I want to help people understand the importance of eating well and exercise at a level where thinking about it comes naturally. I had to figure out what can work within the framework of my life and I think I found a lot of things that can help any person trying to get in shape and stay in shape forever. You will be in shape for the rest of your life because you will have the desire, the know-how and a deep understanding why you want to be in shape.

I want everyone to know that there is not a single person that cannot reach the level of fitness they want. If you are saying to yourself you can't really get lean, you are lying to yourself. We haven't even discussed the specifics, but I am telling you that I believe in you. No matter what age, what your genetic makeup is, you can do it. It may sound corny and fake, but I believe it. There has not been a single person who has not been able to get to a lean physique that didn't really want it. Everyone is different and has different challenges. You may have some cards stacked against you and that only means you may have to work harder. It does not mean you cannot get there ... ANYONE can! Ask yourself, do you really want it?
