The 24 minute workout

And thats how long it took – by the CLOCK, my dear reader.

I should actually call this the “24 hour” routine, since it can literally be done ANYTIME of the day.

Or perhaps the “2 in 1” routine as I got in workout #2 plus EXTRAS in during this time. All this without doing a single pushup, BTW  – though I’ll be getting to pushups later this evening.

What did I do? Well, the correct way to put it would be “DEEP BREATHING WITH EVERY REP while working out”.

Yes, the words are capitalized for a reason. Not to say the actual workout was any less important, but and as I say REPEATEDLY in my book, there is NO point doing any of the stuff I mention if you don’t add CONSCIOUS deep breathing into the mix.

There is a breath with every rep, and this, my dear reader, is probably the most powerful fitness tip there is out there.

Yes, it might sound strange, but do it the way I tell you to and you’ll know what I mean.

And believe me, it wasn’t me that “made this discovery”; this has been around for ages. It’s just that  it’s being ignored these days for the rubbish that passes as “serious training” or, as in parlance, the “bro culture”.

I don’t care if your lifting weights, working outdoors, running, or simply even doing 10 pushups. You need to focus upon your breathing to gain optimal benefit.

Subtract the breathing, and you get about 10-15% of the benefits (real benefits).

Anyway, my routine took exactly 24 minutes today. 400 squats done with the same different hand technique I mentioned (or I think I did) a few days ago followed up with some bridging routines which  I generally do in my 10-15 nightly routine.

All this includes “toweling off” time and short (few seconds) breaks, by the way, and there were NO WARM UPS required whatsoever.

So there it is. A 24 minute blast you can do anytime, anyplace, ANY DAY!

Try it, and tell me how it works for you.

450 squats, 15:12

Dear reader,

Well ,for once this post didnt write itself while I was training, but that understandable when doing high rep squats (most of them toughies, by the way).

I can barely see out  my glasses right now, so pardon any typos (like I care either way about “perfect” typing, hehe, I’d rather do PERFECT REPS!).

I’m feeling ON TOP of the world, and it look less than 16 minutes. Amazingly enough I wasn’t feeling sort of like, well, crud this morning, but 15 minutes is all it took to get that WINNING – and GREAT – feeling back!

You too can get this sort of feeling, my friend, if you just DO the thing. Doesnt take much time at all as you can tell.

As for today’s tip, believe it or not, a SLIGHT (yes, slight) change in HAND position of all things made all the difference with the squats. I’d post it right here, but you’ll probably think I’ve gone stark raving bonkers if I do so I’m not.

Although, whats “crazy” for most of the world such as 500 daily squats, for instance, isn’t as crazy as it may seem or sound.

Take that for it’s worth. I’m out for now – more later!

P.S. – Plenty of 15 minute blasts right HERE: – The Book

500 rep workout

Well, the evening workout just FLEW by, my friends. I banged out 350 odd pushups and a total of 150 squats, and it JUST – FLEW – by.

500 reps, and it took like about an hour in all, and this WITH stretching. Seems like I’m flying past 250 pushups these days, and pretty soon 500 a day will become the new norm.

I’ve done 500 before, and have blogged about it before on my old site, but for now, let me just say that I’m feeling great, despite having wasted my time with yet another “time waster” (though it was an online seller this time, as opposed to more freeloaders, hehe).

The one thing I do want to post about is soreness  – before I head off to finish my writing for the day, of course – I’m looking forward to another THREE SOLID hours of writing – maybe less. Depends on how long it takes me to get to 21 K odd words … and of course, the actual tale itself, hehe.

Anyhow, I’m sore throughout my chest area today, but NOT the actual pectoral itself. I’m sort of sore in that little area UNDERNEATH the pecs – right where my left pec meets my ribcage, and thats the best way I can think of to describe it.

Probably because I’ve been doing a SUPER DUPER advanced version of my very favorite exercise for the past few days – and NO, the best thing to do is NOT to sit on my ass and “hope it recovers”.

I’m a huge believer in active recovery unless of course it’s something more serious like a torn muscle or a fracture, but even then, I recall a time when I was 17 and fell out of a running bus RIGHT on my right hand. BANG – OUCH!

My entire right forearm was  in a cast for the next two weeks, and while I wasn’t near the exercise fanatic I was back THEN that I am NOW, I do remember going stir crazy not being able to do the upper body stuff I did back then – and I DID move around a lot even during that period.

And what I’m doing now is the same thing. I simply modified positions etc slightly to make sure I hit the muscles a bit differently, and so I’m pretty sure I’ll recover from the muscle pull, or ligament strain, or sore tendon, or whatever the heck it is pretty darn soon!

There’s a tip right there for ya – but the other thing, of course, is that that fall meant my right wrist, which for whatever reason has ALWAYS been weaker than the left from birth (stronger side, and all that jazz) became even weaker, as it apparently didnt heal correctly.

Fast forward to the age of 26, and I developed a nasty bone spur in my LEFT wrist, pretty much because I was doing handstand pushups when I was NOT ready for them (and NO, I was NOT overweight at that point in time either).

Fast forward to now, and my grip – on BOTH arms – is EASILY one of the best parts of my overall strength “portfolio”, although  you may not think it by looking at me.

I took my weak areas – and I TURNED THEM INTO MY STRONGEST AREAS, my friend.

And THAT is what it’s all about.

You are only as strong as your weakest link – always remember that.

And on that sage (not) not, I’m out. More later!

Best,

Rahul

P.S. – I am not going to post details of what I am currently writing here, but there’s a lot of interesting stuff you can check out right HERE: – Others

17,000 words and a couple of updates

Well, dear reader, THIS is a classic case of being “in the flow” (one of many I’ve mentioned before)!

Woke up later than I expected this morning, a couple of hours later, and my first thoughts were “Ah, jeez. Am I even going to able to get it done” (it referring to a new novella I’m working upon at the moment – NOT fitness related though).

And I figured I’d get my workout in and get to it in the evening.

But life has a funny way of “happening” when your in the flow, and despite my late “arising”, and despite the fact that I had yet another crappy evening yesterday (though NOT because of my workout or something to do with me at all) – it just happened.

Before I knew it I was sitting down at the ole laptop, opened up Word, and the words just started flowing. In fact it wouldn’t be a stretch to say that while I missed my 17000 target (I am at 15,348 at this point in time) by a small margin, I did however end up writing with nary a break for three hours straight.

And that, my friends is NOT an exaggeration.

Might come as a shock to those (and here I should say the “majority of folks” )for whom writing can often be a chore, but its the exact, polar opposite for me. Put me in the Tundra and give me a laptop and internet connection (along with my trusty green tea, hehe), and I’ll write for days on end non-stop.

Would the solitude bother me? Hell no! I’d enjoy it, and I’d make sure to workout even harder during the few breaks that I took.

The above may sound strange to the average reader, and I realize that, but if your one of those that has read my other books and “is in the flow”, you’ll know what I mean.

You’ll know what it means to wake up in the morning, books seemingly having written themselves in their sleep.

You’ll KNOW what I mean about blog posts writing themselves while working out.

Anyway, I’ll get to my ~24000 word limit soon enough I suspect, but I gotta rush for the nonce. Life, uggggghhh, but so it goes …

Before I “pound out the door” though, here are the updates : One, the lady who was supposed to train with me tonight for 30 minutes, the much esteemed (in my NOT so humble opinion) Cindy, who so happily assisted me while I was getting the whole 0 Excuses fitness off the ground being the lady in question.

As I just posted on the “come train with me” page, I’m more than happy to personally train folks, though I do believe my books and videos do more than an adequate job at this.

But if you fall into the rarest of rare category that is WILLING TO DO WHAT IT takes – well – you know what to do.

Second update being that for a change, I did NOT workout in the morning as I normally do. Workout #1 was shelved temporarily in favor of the other goal of 17,000 words being achieved, and given the length of THIS post itself, I may have well got even closer to that goal.

But note I said temporarily. I’m CHOMPING at the bit right now and RARING to workout and I’ll likely get in a “combo” workout a few hours later either this evening or tonight.

When it’ll happen I cannot promise or foretell but believe you me, it WILL happen.

I make it a matter of PERSONAL pride to set goals and stick to them, and one of those being to “do something everyday”, which I keep telling everyone else to do as well.

Doesn’t have to “going for broke” each and every time, but do SOMETHING. ANYTHING.

Given how PUMPED I am right now, without doing a single movement by the way, I might just go for broke tonight.

Stay tuned!

P.S. – Health is wealth, and that, pally, IS the bottom line.  And the biggest thing you can do for your bank account at THIS point in time is to pause and ponder where you stand fitness wise. Set goals. And then TAKE ACTION. Here is the #1 step you need to take on that road: – The Book

Lady “L” and the “free gift”

Well, dear reader, today’s post will be a somewhat lengthy one.

It could really be titled “My opinion of time wasters”, or “Can you give it to me as a gift” (this is me quoting VERBATIM from an actual convo, by the way.

Or, what do I think of “el cheapo deapos”, hehe.

Well first off, my antenna go up ANY and every time someone asks me for free products and offering NOTHING in return.

Why? Well, the reasons are obvious but the first reason obviously is that free (for most people) equates to ZERO value. Most people are also under the impression that “this person” (or business) would only give away “freebies” if they had no business to start with, which is true in some cases, but certainly not all.

Give away something for free and they’ll “thank you and down for it”, and you’ll likely never hear from them again in your entire life.

Most of all though, it’s because in the vast majority of these people will (amazingly enough, at least to me) never even BOTHER TO USE the – get this – FREE – info that they thought valuable enough to badger you for incessantly.

Last, but not least, whats funny is that I offer plenty of free tips in my emails/blog posts – but these same people somehow “dont find time ” to read ’em.

Anyway, so this brings me to the “tale of Lady “L”” (I’ll call her that for the sake of privacy).

This woman was introduced to me by a mutual contact recently because, well, um, and to quote verbatim again … “we have same hobby, so I add you”

(Pardon the English – I’m quoting verbatim from the convo here).

“Um, OK …” was my response.

And sure enough, it came shortly thereafter.

“My friend says your a good fitness instructor. Do you mind giving me your book as a gift?”

I was about to reply with something along the lines of “What do you think”, but for once, I held my tongue.

Turns out this lady has – get this – PAID – a personal trainer as well as a gym where she trains (apparently something to do with “hoisting barbells overhead”, though she didnt provide further details).

Side note – Overhead presses by the way are a GREAT exercise, but only and only if done right. They’re actually one of the very weight lifting exercises I do recommend (although again, handstands and handstand pushups are way better in many regards).

She then went to claim “it works!”

“Well, if it works – dont change it! Keep doing it!” was my response. And this is what I say in my book anyway. If your doing something that works – well – if it ain’t broke – dont fix it! I’ve actually blogged on this in the past as well IIRC …

But of course, that was a primer of sorts as well.

“I need reduce the flab on my arms” (a few days later)

I think y’all can see where this is going, right? Obviously what she is doing is NOT working to her satisfaction or she’d never have contacted me in the first place.

Now, at this point it bears mentioning that my opinion of those that ask for freebies doesnt mean I never help anyone out for “free”.

Quite the contrary. Those that know me in person know that I’m quite a “giving” person, both in terms of time and my knowledge on fitness/other issues – but IF – and this is a HUGE IF – and IF ONLY – the person is WILLING to HONESTLY learn (and invest the time and effort required to learn).

But most people (that ask for freebies) do NOT fall into this category. Stew all you like (you know who you are), but its true – and if you have an opinion that runs contrary to mine, well, by all means post it or email me about it and I’ll be happy to address it.

Long story short (again), I figured I’d give her a chance.

“Hey Rahul, aren’t you being too harsh on her?”

“Maybe she does deserve a chance!”

And so I finally agreed to give her a copy of the book for a very low value and when I say “value” I don’t mean money. I simply asked her to DO what was mentioned in the book and get back to me on how difficult the exercises were. Fair enough you’d say, eh?

Given she lifts weights, I also put in the slight addendum about “If you don’t like it, then TELL me you prefer lifting weights”.

In short, I gave her all the options she could possibly want.

And needless to say, she never got back.

Now, the point of this is not to emphasize the obvious about those who ask about freebies.

It’s to emphasize the fact that most people waste time on stuff that is MEANINGLESS.

Take this lady, for example. She wasted all that time going back and forth with me in terms of “getting a freebie” – but now that she got it – well, it’s consigned forever to the “dark annals” of her computer, if that makes sense (or mobile phone, hehe).

I mean, seriously. She’s got a goldmine of info at her fingertips – FOR FREE – that she can use to accomplish the “goal” (I use that term loosely in her case, of course) of “reducing the flab on her arms”, and yet, all she does is a big fat ZERO …

I’ve no doubt of course, that she’ll eventually get back with some nonsense about “I’m too busy to read this” or something along those lines and want yet another free bie.

I’ll let y’ll know what transpires when she does, hehe.

Anyway, I’m buzzed and STOKED as usual! Got done with the “50/400” workout (thats 50 squats and 400 pushups) and it’s back to work as usual now.

More later!

Best,

Rahul

P.S. – I realize this may piss off some of the “smart alecs” who contacted me last week with regard to “we’ll promote your stuff for free” if you “give us the goods for free”.

Um, thanks, but no thanks, pally. If that makes me “lose business” as you claim – so be it – I could give a rats ass less about losing biz.

What (and ALL that) I DO CARE about is DELIVERING THE GOODS in a BRUTALLY honest and DIRECT manner. Take it or leave it.

P.S. #2 – Want to see me pound out 250 plus pushups in LESS than 30 minutes? Then rush on over HERE: – Videos

Workout #2 last night

Dear reader,

Well, it’s 11:15 P.M. in China at the time of writing this although it’ll likely be midnight by the time it’s actually posted. Aarghhhh, them “tech gremlins” at work again, hehe.

Anyway, be that as it may, I’m as a relaxed as a daisy (or sunflower, NO puns intended!) floating in the breeze, so to speak.

Workout #2 had a LOT to do with that, of course. FOUR simple stretches, which took 10 minutes in all, and that was THAT.

It was also another one of those “somewhat emotional” workouts (although NOWHERE near the emotion levels I experienced this afternoon to be honest) as I focused upon certain things that really matter to me.

REALLY matter. I mean REALLY!

But this time, instead of any actual tears, I felt an overpowering sense of happiness sweep over me as I relaxed further and further into the bridge.

I pretty much lost count and track of time, as it were. ALL I focused upon was deep breathing and my goals – and of course, the sheer sense of CONTENTMENT sweeping over me.

And  THIS, my dear reader is the REAL key to anything you do in life (contrary to what most expect, and have been brought up or otherwise “conditioned” to believe; it’s NOT money).

Although money IS important, and IS required, it’s never the REAL underlying reason for accomplishments at the end  of the day.

And those that have been there and done that know what I’m talking about here.

Anyway, this feeling of contentment will last for hours, my friend. It’ll last on until the next day actually, and I’ll wake up in a contented, happy frame of mind as opposed to the “crabby, wrong side of the bed” mindset that seems to be the norm (when it really should be the exception).

And that, my dear reader, is that – back again with more.

Rahul Mookerjee

P.S. – Ended up being the next morning instead of midnight…!!

Exercise can be – and IS – cathartic

Dear reader,

Yes, you read that right. Exercise can be, and IS cathartic. And I’m living proof of this in MORE ways than one.

I’m not going to get in “more ways than one” here, but I’ve already spoken at length in previous posts about having “goals” in mind while training. As I said before, these need not necessarily be fitness related goals – although it’s even better if they ARE fitness related for most folks out there.

Key thing being your already comfortable with the movements though – as I said before, if your not that comfortable with the actual movements themselves, then you will naturally need to focus upon the BREATHING and the movement itself before anything else.

Anyhow, I focused upon a series of VERY PERSONAL goals today while working out.

And while I’m NOT going to detail those goals, let me just say they CUT deep in more ways than one.

Let me just say that a lot of what I was focusing upon (while working out) literally made me emotional – so EMOTIONAL that I actually shed tears during the initial portion of my workout, after which it was back to biz as usual.

Now, the majority of folks reading this might think what I wrote above is strange, but let me tell you, the goals that you DO ACHIEVE in life are things that you are PASSIONATE about.

Things that you CARE about DEEPLY! The reasons don’t matter – what matters is you really, really, really CARE.

My self help books on the site  and other sites speak at LENGTH about this, of course, but for now, let me just say it was a great, great workout and I finished in 1:10 (10 minutes taken to compose myself after the “emotional” part).

Fitness wise, what does this mean?

Well, simple –  and TWO SIMPLE questions will answer that question.

ANSWER HONESTLY!

  1. Do you REALLY care about getting fit?

2. Are you REALLY willing to DO WHAT IT TAKES?

Think about this long and hard.

And if the answer is yes to BOTH of those (and what should be) SIMPLE questions, well, then congratulations – your in the minority that at least DOES – DOES SOMETHING. The vast majority of folks reading this would probably “cop out” at this stage if asked these questions in a “brutally honest” manner like I just asked you.

No, saying yes to EITHER ONE of them does NOT count towards being serious. You need to be in it ALL THE WAY – or not at all ,my friends.

There’s no cop-outs. No excuses. A desire to do plus hard work is ALL there is, and that’s just how it is.

And the workout itself? 400/254, and no, there’s no reason for those numbers as opposed to the usual “50/250, or 250/250”.

Thats just how it went, and the majority of the routine actually was a “22” routine if that makes sense (and if you have been following my blog regularly I am sure it does) .

And I feel great, great great! Got some more books planned for later on this evening, and I’ll probably get started on one later.

All for now -back later!

Best,

Rahul

P.S: – My books are all available on the website. There’s only ONE that is EXCLUSIVE to Amazon, but I’ll be putting that on here as well by December. Stay tuned!

P.S.#2 – If your serious, well, you know where to head on to NOW: –

The Book

Slow and steady …

Dear reader,

Well, the title  may come as a surprise given I ALWAYS advocate “quick’n’dirty” workouts – and rightfully so, because they a) WORK and b) they don’t allow you the chance to make excuses.

The “8 minute” workout I wrote about a few days ago is a prime example of this. Busy, you say? My goodness, everyone has 8 minutes, don’t they??

And if you don’t have even THAT much time – well – a serious re-evaluation of priorities and your LIFE is in order, my friend. That’s just the bottom line.

As I’ve said many times before, health is wealth, and that old axiom DOES hold true.

And no, this is NOT about getting rich. I care not if your looking to get rich – good health is an essential component of getting the most out of LIFE itself – and even my most ardent detractors, naysayers, “gym (selfie) addicts” etc will be nodding their heads in agreement upon reading this.

So thats the “fast and furious”part, but sometimes, just sometimes, you’ll find that “slow” workouts are just the “pick me up tonic” you need after or during a brutal day.

Last night was one of these days for me. My initial workout was along the usual “45” minute lines, and and then it was time for workout #2.

Now, workout #2 as I’ve mentioned before is usually a quick’n’dirty 10-15 minute “easy” (for me) routine which keeps the blood flowing, my mind clear, and my focus ever sharpened.

But yesterday, I turned this into an half hour routine and no I wasn’t focusing upon the actual time … I was focusing more upon the actual exercises themselves.

I had a day from HELL yesterday, and so the ONLY thing I wanted to do was to focus upon the movements and my breathing – and though I do that anyway, I wanted to “slow things down”, and REALLY, REALLY focus upon said things.

Sort of like a slow, meditative version of 0 Excuses Fitness if I may say so.

As I moved through the motions, I did so fluidly – but not “ultra rapidly” if you get my drift.

The ocean waves gently lapped at the shore as opposed to the “swift” back and forth “pounding” that usually happens.

I focused on every muscle, every sinew, and every DEEP breath with EVERY movement.

And when I did get to the bridging part, I didn’t do 2-3 sets as I normally do. I did ONE giant set – but I mixed in a whole bunch of stuff in there – and I really, really, focused upon the MOVEMENT itself.

Toweled off, took a long shower, did some mental exercises (that I talk about in my various other publications available here: – Others)

A quick dinner, and off I was to bed and BOY do I feel GREAT this morning!

So thats something that I do – not often, but occasionally depending upon the situation.

Try this little tip when your ultra stressed. Try it when your having “one of those days”.  It works a hell of a lot better than the ole “beer and pizza” routine, hehe.

Let me know how it works for you!

Best,

Rahul

P.S.: – Pizza is actually not as  unhealthy as it sounds IF – and only IF – the ingredients used are right. Unhealthy food is fine once in a while for a “treat”, but NOT the majority of the time.

Follow the right diet 99 percent of the time, and allow yourself an indulgence every so often and you’ll do just fine.

And as for the ideal diet – well – you can learn about it right here: – http://0excusesfitness.com/others/simple-and-effective-diet/

P.S. #2 – More on the “slow and steady” part … a good exercise routine is like putting money in a piggy bank. Those little DAILY deposits add up over time, slowly and steadily … Key thing being to DO something EVERY DAY without fail!

Thats a golden tip by itself – for more, well, you know where to go – http://0excusesfitness.com/the-book/

The circle – and the “vicious circle (cycle?)”

Dear reader,

I often structure my workouts in a “circular” sort of manner so that I sort of finish off with the same, or similar exercise that I started off with.

Works great for me but this is not one of those things which is “written in stone”.

How did I get this idea? Well – simple – some of the movements I do could be considered “circular” motions insofar as the actual execution of the exercise goes, and that suddenly gave me the idea one fine afternoon while doing pushups.

And it just “feels right” on some days, and so forth. Again, thats not written in stone, although it’s something that probably WILL work well for you in some regards.

But today’s post is more about the “vicious circle” or “vicious cycle” as it’s commonly referred to.

I sort of think “circle” is a better way to describe it as you quite literally go “round and round in circles” and end up exactly where you started right back off. Or, perhaps “cycle” is? Except in this case it might well be called cycling backwards …

Now, what exactly am I “ranting” about now, you may ask?

Well, I’m talking about the vicious “cycle” that a lot of folks find themselves to be stuck in (think hamster on a treadmill) and – REFUSE to get out of (or should I say refuse to be “open” to getting out of it).

Now, it’s not so much these people’s “fault” as it is their “unwillingness to learn new things”. Or, should I say the “fear of accepting the unknown as a current possibility”.

That last sentence I just wrote is a powerful, powerful one indeed, and as with  much of what I say it applies to LIFE as well as it does fitness.

But let’s talk fitness here.

I get contacted routinely by a lot of folks who want to get fit, but aren’t willing to take the actions required to get fit.

 

Those actions being simple enough – a) invest in the products that will move you on towards your goal and b) DO the thing.

“Oh, ah, I don’t want to…uh, buy”.

“Ok, no problem. Follow the blog – there’s plenty of FREEE tips for you there!” (and that IS what I tell folks that for whatever reason email me saying “they dont want to buy” – a colossal waste of time indeed for someone to even send that, but whatever).

And lets be honest – ain’t nothing with free tips, is there?

A few days later …

“Uh, I …”

“?”

“I couldn’t find <stutter> time to read the blog”. “It’s too long”. Yada, nada schnada, and the nonsense keeps pouring out.

And at this point I pretty much tell them to a) get their ass in gear if they REALLY want to – or b) stop wasting time.

And of course, thats the point where the “how dare he” part kicks in.

It’s far easier to live in denial of current facts than it is to actually confront said facts rationally (and NO, what most people consider “rational thought” is anything but to be honest).

It’s far easier to “ignore obvious truths and reality (yes, it DOES bite – though it doesnt HAVE to be that way!)” and simply pull out the oft used excuse “I’m busy”.

It’s far easier to pay a personal trainer and then “moan” or “whine” about optimal results not being achieved.

It’s far easier to get a fancy membership at a gym or “health club” and then rarely use it – and then complain about “not being able to get fit”. Or “it not working”.

It’s far easier to … Ah, but I guess you see my drift? Long story short – far easier to “shoot” the messenger as it were than actually do what it takes to “keep the messenger away”.

Curiously enough though and in terms of the “I’m busy” rubbish; these same “busy” people make time to be on Facebook and other TRUE TIME WASTING apps all day long. Yet, amazingly enough they’re too busy – when – get this – one actually responds in an honest manner to questions THEY ASKED in the first place!

I mean – look – I got in a BALL BUSTER of a workout yesterday in LESS than 9 minutes! Are you telling me you ain’t got 9 minutes to workout but you’ve got all day to while away looking at the various meaningless updates on Facebook?

I mean, this is so ludicrous and hilarious that I  literally spit up some of my green tea while I’m writing this.

I’m sure you see what I mean by circle now? This just keeps going round and round in circles, with no solution being reached – and NOT because the solution isn’t there – it’s because the person is NOT OPEN to the solution which is RIGHT THERE in front of him/her!

Back to fitness – buy the book. Watch the videos. DO. START someplace! THAT is as simple as it gets, folks – and THAT is all that is needed.

I was contacted a lady last night who complimented me on my physique and then COMPLETELY RUINED it by saying this (when I sent her a note of appreciation for her positive remark) –

“Don’t thank me. Thank God”.

“Huh???”

“Thank God for giving you this wonderful body that you have now!”

“Huh??????????????????????????????????????????”

I mean Jesus jumping Christ on a pogo stick; it literally doesnt get any more ridiculous than this. 

I (and any other person walking the face of this planet that you might consider to be successful in ANY endeavor) did NOT just get to where we are because someone dumped a plate of goodies in their lap!

Yet, amazingly enough thats how most people react when they see success. Amazingly enough they ignore the facts (which in my case are clearly laid out on the website) and continue to live in denial (of the fact that THEY too can achieve this!).

It just takes a small change in mindset, my friend – but that ONE change is ENOUGH to open up new possibilities and avenues in your life that you never knew existed.

A small minority of people reading this will know what I’m talking about. For the rest, well … All I can say is that if you disagree “no problemo, amigo”.

And I really dont care if the majority of people reading this disagree with it – that’s just how I am. I say it like it is and am willing to back up what I say – but, I am NOT going to “make the horse drink” after “leading it to the water”.

And for the lady thats probably reading this right now (or later, haha) – and yes you know who you are – that last sentence is for YOU!

Onward – and UPWARD!

Rahul

Workout #3, and some more updates

Well, the first thing I’ll get into is the workout obviously.

Those of you that “did the math” with regard to the last post know that I got in about 245 squats and 160 odd pushups (am I right?) in TWO BRIEF – SHORT – and INTENSE workouts this morning!

Took a total of 26 minutes or so, and if you can’t make THAT much time to exercise, my friend, well – then – you really need to sit down and think about the negative impact this has (IS HAVING) on your overall health.

Let’s not even get into fitness, strength, “building wind”, flexibility etc – just your HEALTH.

If you can’t make 15-20 minutes daily to be “health time” – but can make plenty of time for everything else – then something is seriously, seriously WRONG.

Anyway, my own workout #2 lasted yet another 20 minutes (though I didnt time it EXACTLY as I wasn’t “as” pressed for time this time around). 100 pushups followed by a few stretches and some bridging – and I was DONE.

Thats a total of 260 odd pushups for the day, by the way. Not to mention the other things.

All done in less than 50 minutes and truth be told, every ONE of those workouts was a bull buster by themselves.

On other fronts, I’ve received quite a few inquiries from customers in mainland China where “paying via QR codes” is the order of the day.

So I goofed around with the site for a couple of hours and did finally get it all integrated – and then promptly removed what I had just enabled.

Why – because it makes things too darn complicated.

Perhaps it’s how I got it done that is making it complicated, and perhaps I’ll add in a dedicated WeChat/Alipay payment method in future (for those in mainland China).

However, and to be honest, Paypal allows mainland Chinese users to shop online with debit cards anyway – and being that’s the mode of payment I’m currently using – well – YOU GUYS have NO excuses either!

And that, my dear reader, is that for now. Be back again tomorrow!

Best,

Rahul
