No BS. Get To Work!

Fall is here. The weather is getting colder. You can feel it in your gut--the pounds are starting to pack on again. STOP!!! Don't just dismiss this season, assuming its already a lost cause! No matter what you've done up to this point, you'll be better off if you start working hard today rather than waiting for January 1. There's nothing magical about the first day of the new year. If there were, we would all be in excellent shape. If the best of intentions had any power over anything, we would all be in excellent shape. How many years have you seen how weak that first day of the year and your best intentions are?
Get your ass to the gym, outside, to your living room, wherever you can get some exercise. You say, "I can't do pushups!" Bullshit. Start perfecting them NOW. Start with modified pushups. Progress to regular pushups. Work up to performing 20 reps. Start doing rotational, spiderman or dive bomber pushups. You say, "I can't do a pull up!" Bullshit. Take your kids to the park, use the monkey bars to work on your pullups. Your kids will love it and you will get stronger each time. Maybe you can do nothing more than hang there for the first few times. Keep pulling yourself up! Before you know it, your chin will be above the bar. No excuses. Just f*cking do it!
