Fitness Secrets of Real Men

Great article... works for me as well. I have to roll out of bed literally right onto the street and start my morning exercise before I have a chance to even talk myself out of it. I was once at 300+ pounds and have now been 225 for years now. If I wake, grab some coffee, go to the computer or couch -- it's over.
The day just goes so much better with that single accomplishment already under my belt -- done! Not having to weigh myself down with the "guilt" of not having exercised and the "dread" of having to eventually do it later at some point during the day makes it all worthwhile, plus of course, knowing that I'm maintaining a degree of health that I had desired for sooooo long.
Fortunately, it's finally become something i know longer think about, but just do -- like having breakfast or brushing my teeth.
THANKS!

It's great to see people being able to train on their own. I'm 60 years old and go for a run, about 4 miles, every morning and come back and do various workouts.

Like kbayer63 was saying it's difficult to start your exercise routine, it's easier to talk yourself out of it! Coffee, fast food and sitting in front of your pc for hours will put the weight on......and if you smoke as well!!??!!

The way to sort this one out is find something you don't mind doing eg running, X trainer, bike, rower. All give a good cardio workout but with all it's a psychological effort to get on and do it! What I do is sort it out in my head the evening before and give myself a choice: go for an easy run (if I'm feeling weak minded), go for a longer warm up and do a sprint jog routine or, if I'm up for it, go for a fastest time (that's the tough choice). All I'm saying is doing something is a lot better than nothing. You've set yourself up psychologically to be able to do something, whether it be easy or difficult. Even going for a walk first thing in the morning is better than nothing.

I'm new to internet marketing but have put a lot of stuff together ready to launch health and fitness website.

I'm not a man but I have struggled with my weight since I was 12 years old. These days I can't start my day right unless I have done my morning workout. It makes me feel ready to take on my daily tasks and I don't feel so guilty for plopping down in front of my PC for the next 8 hours.

It's one of the awesome motivational factors that keeps me working at my online business, I want to be my own boss and workout at 9am if I want too instead of sitting in commute traffic.

I was working out pretty regularly until I hit this forum...I'm waiting for WF exhaustion to set in so I can get back in shape.

Wrong motivations? ;-)

dont be afraid of pilates, its not only for women! and you will be surprised how well it works and how fast you will see results.

That article shows that their are some people that has that inner desire to go at it alone. There are prlenty of unsong guns like that in the world in all type of fields...still the article was motivationg......the word of the day..MOMENTUM

What a nice article.
Agreed, it is all about momentum.
Once we got the momentum,
we will have the energy to do anything

good job by them. the body-mind-spirit connection is valid and fitness momentum helps integrate these parts. the result is greater balance and productivity. i believe fitness plays an important role in our overall effectiveness. it certainly feels good physically. the discipline feels great mentally and the process gets ones juices flowing to achieve more with greater enjoyment and clarity.

a daily commitment to fitness can only have positive effects on all you endeavor for the day, which certainly includes your *business*. if you lack energy or focus, especially working from home, get out and get moving. just a 10 minute commitment is sure to help.

Hi Frank,

Thanks for sharing this article. I got to agree that momentum is a key to help us to achieve our goals. Once the momentum gets going, it is hard to stop us from achieving success.
