WAKE UP

Once again the nonsense that fitness sites and so called gurus spew continues to deceive the uninformed. Let me preface the following by reiterating that THERE ARE NO SHORTCUTS. Hard work and attention to nutrition are the cornerstones of true fitness. Gimmicks, contraptions, etc. only blur the truth of what it takes to achieve your goal. Hard work, and COMMON SENSE are the only way to improve. Understandably there are some that do not possess adequate knowledge, so here is a simple tip for you......RESEARCH! Ask an expert, surf the web (for reputable sites), and read literature. Many do more research on a car that they intend to purchase, than their own body. Where is the logic? Here is the latest "easy way" to lose weight.

"Drinking hot water, then cold water, and repeating helps you speed up your metabolism and helps you lose weight."

RRRRRRRight!?
Unfortunately, there was a health site that actually made this claim. Now, there is no doubt that water is a vital part of a health fitness and nutrition regimen, but simply alternating temperature to lose weight? There are studies that show that drinking cold water burns calories (about 10-12) through your body assimilating the water to your body temperature. But this does not mean that you can all of a sudden skip a cardio session or have that big slice of cake. Drink plenty of water, eat well, and exercise..........Period

Shortcuts?

With the wealth of supplements (legal & illegal), pills, powders, and drinks, the path to one's fitness goals can be confusing. But the bottom line, regardless of what you decide to ingest, is that you must work hard to achieve the physique you desire. Insane Fitness is not about shortcuts, but about pushing yourself to the limit and beyond. Reaching the next level only occurs through breaking mental barriers to obtain physical results. Make no mistake about it, there are some that cheat to get ahead, but they too have a price to pay. You only have one body, and the body never lies. What you put in is what you get out. Stop fooling yourself into thinking that the latest diet or workout will transform you overnight. SHUT UP AND TRAIN! Put in the time and put in the work. Only then will you reach the next level.

Gym rats stop kidding yourself........If your routine sacrifices form for gains in ego, you will never reach the summit of your fitness goals. I witness guys in the gym doing an entire workout with partial reps, never completing a full rep range. They grunt and yell and breathe heavy, and their routine would not suffice as a warm-up for serious lifters. For the uninitiated (AND THOSE THAT ARE JUST TOO MACHO) hire a trainer (A GOOD ONE) and learn the technique. Your gains will come much quicker with proper instruction. Now I am not suggesting that you put on a leotard and join a step aerobics class. But team up with a professional that can guide and push you. And for those still to stubborn to hire a trainer, CHANGE YOUR ROUTINE! Instead of hopping on a bench and throwing up some plates, complete sets of 100 push ups and then perform sets of 100 squats. You might find that you are not the tough guy you thought you were.

Just a thought.
