To tell you the truth I’m almost sick of saying this…almost!..if you are fat you will die before your time. You will not live to be 80 or 90 if you are more than 30 lbs over fat…a heart attack or Cancer is in your not so distant future.

If you think that I am trying to use scare tactics…you’re absolutely right. I do want to scare the shit out of you! If premature death doesn’t scare you into getting your fat ass out of the chair and working out, then make sure your insurance is paid up and your plot is picked out.

If you have young children make sure your spouse will be able to take care of them when your dead. If they can’t …start looking for a good orphanage or foster home…maybe a relative.

If you die prematurely you are robbing the world around you of your experience. An experience that holds value in people’s eyes and hearts that you may not even know about. People love you and want you to live a long life…unless you’re a child molester and then I want you to burn in a car fire…but that’s another rant.

New years resolutions abound with weight loss and fitness goals.  The number one New Years resolution is still some variety of  “I want to lose weight”.  I  ask that you repel the inclination to run out and sign up for that Gym membership right now.

All the stupid people are thinking that it is a good move to get there ass moving in 2009 and think that a gym membership will do the trick. Gym memberships are a piece of paper and a deduction every month from your credit card.  I haven’t yet seen a credit card statement drag anyone’s ass to the gym yet. As part of your New Years resolution I would like you to promise to become and act a little smarter when it comes to your fitness and weight loss goals.

It is more important that you begin an exercise program on your own.  There are many program’s including several of mine that require no gym membership to get you started.  Consistency is the key, not a membership card.  When you feel you have made your fitness a priority and are comfortable with it becoming a healthy habit, then and only then would I advise you to spend your hard earned cash in these difficult economic times on a customer service deprived gym membership.  Good luck with your fitness goals and watch my video for a better understanding of why I’m asking you not to join a gym.

One of the most annoying things that I can think of, is when one of my clients, subscribers or followers tell me that they think their friends are undermining them.  I hear this more then I would like to.  Fat friends that don’t support you in your weight loss efforts aren’t real friends of yours and need to be dismissed as such.

Any weight loss and exercise program not only takes your determination to want to change your life but it also takes the support of your family, friends and co-workers.  In the words of Hillary Clinton…it takes a village.  If your friends are not there to support you and they give snide remarks or break your balls about “how thin you are” then you have two choices…slap them in the head (which I would do) or be less violent and “kick them to the curb” and find new friends that share the same goals and aspirations.

Arm Circles…that’s right Arm Circles.  Everyone looks at me like I have two heads…my hair’s on fire and I have snot as big as Texas shooting out of my nose whenever I tell people at my boot camps to do Arm Circles.

I get; “I haven’t done those since second grade”…”what kind of fitness expert would have adults do kiddie exercises”

Then I tell them to shut up and do the friggin exercise for sixty seconds one way and without stopping do 60 seconds the other way.  Then do you know what I hear from the same idiots mouth!

“Holy Shit! I can’t believe how F**ckin hard these are.”…”These suck…I hate you.”  “I can’t keep my arms up that long”

So much for kiddie exercises.  Watch the video to learn how to perform Arm Circles properly.
