Nearly everybody who's
started out with the dream
to get into shape, build
muscle or lose fat, has
fallen prey to some type of
fitness myth. Many times,
those myths come from
sources and publications
that we trust. Maybe it's
false advertising that leads
somebody to start a myth or
the quest to get rich. Or
maybe it's just simple
ignorance.

The secret to getting super lean –
I’m
talking about being RIPPED, not just “average body
fat”
– is all about mastering the art of "peaking." Most people do
not
have a clue about what it takes to reach the type of low body fat
levels that reveal ripped six-pack abs, muscle striations, vascularity
and extreme muscular definition, so they go about it completely the

nutrition program is not much help.

Having your spouse as part
of your fitness lifestyle
can take your own levels of
fitness to a new level.
Imagine that you go to the
gym and workout and are
around 100% intensity.
Now imagine that you BOTH
go to the gym and workout
and are around 100%
intensity and it carries
over into other aspects of
your life (sleeping, eating,
etc).

seem to have when you’ve got a body fat problem. You want the

Not long ago, one of the members of my health club
poked her head in my office for some advice. Linda was a 46 year old
mother of two, and she had been a member for over a year. She had been
working out sporadically, with (not surprisingly), sporadic results. On
that particular day, she seemed to have enthusiasm and a twinkle in her
eye that I hadn’t seen before.

"Battle Your Biology? Fat Chance," proclaimed a
headline recently in the health section of the New York Post newspaper.
Quoting new research and citing psychologists, dietitians and
physicians, the article says that more and more evidence proves that
your weight is genetically determined, and if you're fat, "it's not
your fault."
