Subject: PowerQuote for Wednesday

"He who works the land will have abundant food, but he who chases fantasies lacks judgement." Proverbs 2:11

I think that pretty much says it all, don't you? Look at the scripture a little deeper. How does that apply to you or anyone else who is attempting to lose weight and get in shape?

Are you one of those individuals who always seemed to get drawn into the latest gimmick when it comes to dieting or trying the latest diet pill? Or how about all those slim and trim "fitness model experts" you see on the QVC or Home Shopping network hocking the latest treadmill and how easy it is to get in shape?

Here is the good news when it comes to all of this. Hard work and consistency is the key to the success all the marketing gurus are promising you. Look at the last part of that scripture. ...'But he who chases fanatsies, lacks judgement." Anytime someone promises you that this is going to be easy and virtually painless requiring no discipline, then they are operating in a world of fantasy, or at least they are trying to draw you into that world.

Any personal fitness professional worth their weight in dumbbells is going to tell you that any attempt to transform your body and life is going to take time. It won't happen in 30 days, and chances are it won't happen in 60 days. In 90 days (12 weeks) you can see some pretty good changes, but will you really be where you need to be? Chances are you won't. So to think that you will achieve all of your goals in a realitively short amount of time is living in fantasy. And the scripture says that person lacks judgement.

My desire is to help you live in reality. If you are here visiting this board, you have made that step. There are many who visit this board but don't post any messages. They need to read the information posted here daily in order to help them achieve their goals.

Unfortunately, there are no magic pills, diets or exercise gimmicks. I have on many occassions taken clients off diets such as Slim Fast, Jenny Craig, Weight Watchers, and others in order to get them eating a diet more specific to their personal bioindividual and basil metabolic rate requirements. No two people can successfully follow the same diet nor can the same two people follow the same exercise programs and each get the exact same outcome. That is fantasy to offer it as such and to expect such.

Hard work, scientifically planned exercise programs, discipline, and nutriton plans designed around your specific metabolic requirements and likes, are what really get you to where you want to go.

I hope this helps you today. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me at my personal training center.

Have a strong and healthy day.
