Inspiration Through Men's Health

One of the key components I can help with is providing daily inspiration through personal experience and sharing other things that inspire me.

Why do i think that this is important? Well, I have noticed that during the times in my life I either subscribed to Men's Health magazine or purchased them regularly from the grocery store, I had overall better results. Yes ... the magazine that is universally panned by many in the fitness world becasue of the glossy covers and repetitive headlines (I once had two old magazines that weren't even three months apart and the cover healdines were practically identical except they managed to trim your waist in only 8 days .... down from 9! Progress!!). I get why the magazine is dissed by others, but I think it can have great value.

Typically, I buy a magazine like that and I glance through it and read a couple articles that immediately interest me. Then, it goes into the magazine holder we have in our bathroom. In the morning, when I first wake up, I go the restroom and pick it up. They have lots of little tidbits you can read in a few seconds. Some information on the latest study on blueberries or something small like that. I don't force myself to pick it up ... it is just there and it is easy to read. And I find that just implanting little thoughts makes a huge difference. It has helped me eat a little better and workout a little harder. And over time, it makes a huge difference. I don't work for them or get any benefit from others subscribing through my advice, but maybe I should look into that. :-)
