Results TALK – B.S WALKS

Dear Reader,

As I was going through my sprints and pull-ups today, several thoughts flashed into my mind – thoughts that had been there a while, and thoughts that I’m gonna share with you now.

This email is going to come off as even more “right off the bat” – and “in the flow” – and “from the heart” than my normal dispatches do. So be it …

Ok, so this morning I sent out an email where I included the above “Results Talk – B.S walks” part.

I’ll expound more on this now.

I remember walking into my parent’s living room a coupla weeks ago, when another couple was sitting there. According to my wife it was my sister’s in laws – and of course, my daughter being the naughty “sociable” (mischievous!) almost-5 year old, ’twas but natural for her to join the luncheon party as it were.

I think what happened was that she was munching on macaroni – or at least, that was the plan.

Apparently things didn’t go according to plan, and yours truly was “sent” by “guess who” to (amongst other things) figure out if our little angel had eaten – and if so, what, and if not, why, and … uh, but you get the drift, I believe!

She hadn’t – but as I walked out of the living room to do some other things, I overheard a few “whispered” comments.

“He’s lost a lot of weight, hasn’t he”, chimed in the male part of the “visiting duo”

“Yes, he has”, my mom chimed in (in a tab somber tone, I thought). “I could barely recognize him!”

I then heard my father nodding in agreement (if thats possible to do!).

“YEs, yes. He’s lost a lot!”

Now remember these guys were comparing me to when I was around 120 kgs – a while ago – but given my parents see me fairly regularly, and given this was NOT intended as praise or a compliment (’twas a matter of fact observation) – and given that it’s been years since I’ve been anywhere near out of shape – well – says a lot about my RECENT results, doesn’t it?

I still recall my wife goggling at me when I walked in the door last year (after a few months away).

“Is that really you??” she went on.

(This, by the way was during my “leaning out” phase – a phase where 0 Excuses Fitness came to my aid – just as it does now during my “strength, maintenance and overall fitness” phase).

Funny, and sad part is this though – all these people, though they see the results are quick to “scoff” at the methods.

It’s either “that won’t work” or “it’s too hard” or “thats too simple! it just can’t work!” – and so forth – and its NOT just my family that says this either. If I had a dollar for every time I told an average person to get off their duff and DO what I teach and sell – – and every time I received said response – – well, I’d be a multi-billionaire several times over by now.

I see folks walking in the local park here daily – bellies jiggling as they “furiously” try and walk the weight away, but it doesnt happen.

Years pass, and when I return to this local park after another one of my  China jaunts, I see these same people walking in the park, with nary a change in their rotund bodies.

At this point, a lot of folks chime in and claim “well, that’s not what we want. We’re satisfied with what we’re doing and our results”.

Huh?? Are you for real??

You’re satisfied with mediocre results – – and you expect me to believe that?

Look, NO-ONE on this planet is satisfied with mediocre fitness results and time wasted in the gym or elsewhere, and if you needed further proof, the barrage of questions I get on a daily basis by those that see me in person proves the point even further.

Then we have the “well, everyone goes to the gym, so it must be right” crowd. “Pushups! Pull-ups! Bear crawls! Pah! No-one really does those! That’s kiddie stuff!  That’s easy!”

Well, fair enough.

If you want to “do what everyone does”, thats certainly your biz, my friend and you sure as heck ain’t gonna hear a peep out of me in that regard. To each his or her own is what I’ve always said and am gonna say NOW.

But you’ll get the results “everyone” does as well. That’s just a fact.

One of my sister-in-laws, for example, has back pain from a) no exercise and b) wearing high heels all day at work and c) eating out all the time – a toxic combo if there ever was one.

This could easily be combated by doing the back bridge – an exercise I teach in 0 Excuses Fitness – and doing it RIGHT as opposed to how it’s normally taught.

You can access 0 Excuses Fitness right here – – http://0excusesfitness.com/0excusesfitnessystem/.

And of course, replacing the offending heels – but then again – “everyone wears ’em, so … ”

Ah, hell. I give up!

Point of today’s somewhat lengthy dispatch is THIS – my friend – that results talk, and B.S. walks.

Learn from someone that not only follows what he preaches – but also has the RESULTS to prove.

Not many are willing to do this – but those that are get spectacular results – results like I’ve gotten or even better – – and results YOU can – and WILL get too!

So that’s it for today. Thanks as always for reading – and if you workout today – make it an awesome one!

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

P.S. – And yes, you may end up getting in such good shape that your own family members blink and do double takes when they see you. Such is life on the 0 Excuses Fitness System, my friend – it IS truly the BEST darn fitness system out there, bar none.

P.S. #2 – And if you’re part of the crowd that has bought machines and treadmills to use at home – – “because you have no time”, and are STILL not getting in shape (and believe you me, there are folks that have done this for years and are NOT making progress)  – – well, do the smart thing, and make the right investment. Machines and treadmills don’t hold a candle to what I promote my friend. They sure don’t – and the proof is in the PUDDING!

P.P.S – – We recently created a “No B.S” Facebook group as well – if you’re interested, hark on over here to see what the fuss is all about – – https://www.facebook.com/groups/407913166390689/. I think you have to “apply” to be a part of it, but I ain’t sure as yet. While you’re at it though, remember to follow us on our other social media accounts as well (Twitter – @0xcusesfitness; Instagram – @0excusesfitness).

 

Can I fidget the lard lumps away?

Dear Reader,

Many moons ago, yours truly was a skinny 19 year old in college in the Southern United States.

The many beers I’d gleefully down (ah, little did I know back then!) hadn’t quite caught up with me back then, and while I wasn’t quite a “clothes hanger” (as my mom was called by one of her husband’s friends when she got married), I was pretty darn skinny regardless.

Those were the days, of course. I’d be wearing jeans three times my size – why? Well, the “hipsta’s” did so I had to, of course …

Anyway, I was required for some reason or the other to go to a career counselor at some point during school.

Now, although my habits and way of thinking was way, way different back then than it is NOW – there was ONE thing that was the SAME – and that was that I did NOT want to work a full time job – EVER .

And if I did so, I didn’t want to work an 8-5 job.

Turns out that one of the best and most successful jobs that I’ve worked (which was in theory) a 9-6 job somehow “morphed into” exactly what I’ve mentioned above – – where I did most of my work from HOME – – but that’s another tale, and I’m not going to get into it in this email – – but you can, and should read about it right HERE – – http://0excusesfitness.com/products/10-commandments-of-successful-sales/ .

That above book will work for those trying to make sales in any economy, btw, but back on track.

So I was sitting there in her office, fidgeting away nineteen to the dozen. Legs shaking furiously, arms constantly moving, and thus forth.

In walked the lady, a 40 something year old dame with (admittedly) more than a bit of extra flabbage on her, but she was attractive nonetheless.

We spoke briefly regarding careers, and then she made the comment.

“Do you exercise a lot?”

“Uh …. ”

I hadn’t really thought about it at that point.

“No, oh, ah … yes, I guess I do”

And I was about to rattle off the fact that I climbed seven flights of stairs to my dorm daily (and never took the elevator, so I could sneak in a few brews) and swam 50 laps in an Olympic sized pool just cos it was “fun” – plus walked all over campus between classes and work etc – but just as I was about to, she spoke.

“You fidget so much! Of course you’ll be skinny”

Huh?? Fidgeting to burn calories??? Now how dumb can THAT be?

If fidgeting and silly movements of that nature burned calories, all the general populace would have to do would be to plonk their bootocks down on their comfy (or not) office chairs all day and do what most do anyway – which is to fidget and clock watch for the majority of the day.

And if you thought THAT was silly, well, here’s what I saw on a Twitter account of an old boss of mine (a great guy by the way) –

“Don’t sit still. Fidget, stand and chew gum – such activities have been shown to help torch an extra 300 to 2000 calories per day”.

Apparently this came from a “NEAT” philosophy – which translates into “Non exercise activity thermogenesis (sp?)”

I was going to research this a bit more, but the entire statement is so ridiculous and retarded that a quick Google search was all I did, and I didn’t even click on the neat guy’s website.

In short – it’s yet another concept that panders to the lazy – and promotes exactly what it should NOT – i.e. the idea of sitting on a couch, doing nothing and losing weight.

Uggggggh. Ditto for all the tummy trimmers, “fat loss bands”, and all the other junkola out there – stuff that doesn’t work, and yet sells – and why? Because it panders to the “lazy amongst” us.

And as for bunny crunches, the LESS said the better. Ugh! If there was ever a more useless exercise than the crunch (well, other than the bench press), I’m yet to hear about it.

Heck, I don’t know about you – but even if this were to be true – I’d rather get my exercise in within 15 minutes or less- and then ENJOY the rest of the day without fidgeting or worrying about “how many calories I’d burn during my workout”.

I’ve written before that I’ve never counted calories in my life, and never do – and I never will. And if that annoys the fitness pundits, so be it. The ball busters in the 0 Excuses Fitness System ensures that I never need to do so – and results speak for themselves.

As they say, results talk, and B.S. walks. Well, I modified the saying a bit but you get my drift. 😉

Last, but not least, if you’re REALLY looking to torch calories, then shaking your bum about on the office chair or “twitching” or moving your legs a wee bit or even chewing the almighty GUM ain’t-a-gonna whack dem lard lumps.

What will do is brief, intense workouts such as the type I detail in my Advanced Hill Training course. And yes, you CAN do these workouts on flat ground as well in case you’re wondering.

You literally CAN eat more – and weigh less – and if further proof is needed, well, look at what happened to yours truly during the mayhem of Lunar New Year 2018. All detailed on the page and the book – take a gander if you so choose – – and literally FEEL the fat stripping off your body as you go through these movements!

Ok, my friend – that’s it for now. I don’t know about you, but I’ll be doing my sprints later on tonight. You’re welcome to join me – or fidget away as I sprint, hehe.

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

P.S. – And if this email has you fidgeting internally and has got your thumb “itching” to press that order button to see what the fuss is all about, well, don’t “fight the urge”. This itch is a good thing – and you DO need to scratch it (while burning calories apparently, hehe) – – and here is where you can scratch dat itch – – http://0excusesfitness.com/0excusesfitnessystem/

 

Learn how to forget the past

Dear Reader,

A couple of emails ago I wrote about the bestselling “Psycho Cybernetics” book – a book that has changed my life to be honest, and a book I highly recommend YOU pick up as well to improve your life.

I care not what “stage” of life you’re at – much like the 0 Excuses Fitness System itself, there is something for everyone in that book. Grab it now if you’re so inclined – and thank me later!

Anyway, Dr. Maltz makes an excellent point in the book about the past.

I’ll paraphrase. “The minute you stop letting the past control you is the moment the past loses it’s power over you”.

I might have erred a bit in quoting the exact words, but that’s the gist of it. And it’s so true, my friend. It’s so true.

And as I woke up this morning, I saw a meme on Twitter which said this – “Forget your past. Forgive yourself. And begin AGAIN!”.

I may share this to our Twitter/Instagram accounts – stay tuned – but for now, why am I telling you this?

Well, for obvious reasons, but first off, when I first started to embark on the fitness journey of my life, I had NO inkling that I’d receive some of the most negative comments I hadn’t even imagined (to be honest).

“Oh, yes, you’re getting fit now – but so what? You’ve been fat before!” (this from a significant other from whom you’d least expect such comments).

“Oh you’re doing good at them pull-ups but it’s not going to last. It never does” (this from a friend – a good guy no less!).

“Oh, that’s good, but will you really be able to keep the weight off?”

Astounding as it might sound, my friends, this is exactly how it is when you embark on a new venture, either life or fitness related. There are very few people that you can expect any sort of genuine support from to be honest, and it’s NOT their fault either.

Folks are subconsciously programmed to “brings others down to their level” – whether that level be fitness related or life related is a moot point.

If they’re seeing you get super fit – and STICK to a routine – while they’re not – well, guess what’s gonna happen.

Thats why I’ve always maintained you’re best off keeping your goals to yourself bar a few select people who raise your energy / vibration levels as opposed to lowering it.

If you feel enthused and “raring to go” after telling someone your goals – well, thats the right person to share ’em with.

If you on the other hand (and this is common) feel a sense of “lethargy” (or even hopelessness and frustration) creeping in upon sharing dem goals – well – wrong person, my friend – and believe it or not, those closest to you can and ARE (albeit unknowingly) often the biggest energy drains.

Anyway, in terms of fitness, what does all this mean?

Well, simple.

You might have been fat – but that’s not your destiny, my friend. Follow the right programs, and you can accomplish virtually ANY (and then some) fitness goals you want to achieve.

Forget the errors you made, and the number of times you fell of the wagon.  It really don’t make a darn bit of difference at this stage.

We all mess up. We all make mistakes. That’s life.

Learning from them mistakes and moving on – and making corrections is key.

Last, but not least, when I say “forget” – I don’t mean erase the memory altogether from your “hard drive”.

What I mean is to erase the negative emotions associated with that image in your mind.

So you were fat. So you were a lard lump – or maybe you are NOW.

So what?

So long as you’ve made the decision to get on the right fitness program and STICK to it come rain, hail or shine – that is what ultimately matters.

As the good Doctor famously said, once you erase the negative emotions of the past – the past stops controlling you, and you’re free to scale peaks you never previously imagined possible.

Well, my friend, that’s it for today. I trust this will inspire – and if you workout today – make sure you follow the best darn exercise System there is on this planet, bar NONE. Here is where you can pick up a copy – – http://0excusesfitness.com/0excusesfitnessystem/

I’m off for now. The daughter is off to school, and we’ve got a few hours of peace and quiet – – hopefully!

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

P.S. – More such motivation is available in the 0 Excuses Fitness BOOK. No, it’s NOT just a fitness related book in that regard!

Be a WOLF – not a sheep

Dear Reader,

I borrowed that line from one of my favorite movies – a Denzel Washington flick “Training Day”. If by any chance you haven’t seen it already (though I’m sure you’ve heard of it) – go ahead and see it – you will probably love it.

Training Day is essentially a movie about a corrupt to the core narcotics office r(a Detective) – and a rookie cop trying to enter the “hallowed” realms and become a “narc”.

What happens thereafter and the various shennanigans that take place are for you to watch, enjoy and critique (and thus forth) but there’s a line in the movie where Denzel sagely instructs his protege to “be a wolf, not a sheep!”

“To protect the sheep, you gotta become a wolf. Are you a wolf, dawg? Or are you a sheep?”

He then howls like a wolf and instructs his protege to do so as well.

Said protege does, and apparently doesnt do it too well on the first try.

“That’s not a wolf! That’s a rooster!” cackles the wily “Alonzo Harris” (Denzel’s character in the movie) “Give me a wolf, dog, a wolf!”

All in good fun – I enjoyed the movie – I’m sure you will too!

Anyway why am I telling you this?

This morning I posted something similar on my Instagram. The caption of the picture ran thus “Wolves don’t lose sleep over the opinion of sheep”.

So true, my friend. So true – -and the only thing missing was to ask you, the reader, to howl like a wolf if just to agree, hehe.

Way too many people are influenced by what the masses – or what I like to term as the “sheeple” out there say, or do.

This is one prime reason the vast majority of people never end up following their dreams or true passion in life – or more accurately, never even start or try to do so.

“It’s  not going to work”. “You need something stable” “That idea won’t work! No-one’s does it before”

And thus forth, and the babel of “no’s” ends up drowning out all but the most determined of YES’s.

And if you’re on this list, and enjoy  our daily dispatches, YOU, my friend are likely part of the “most determined” gang – that is determined to do what they want regardless of what others think, say or opine.

And so it should be. Heck, no-one thought Henry Ford’s idea was a good one until he finally did it – and I don’t think anyone can argue with those results, can they?

No-one thought Edison would actually invent the light bulb after his 10000 or so failures – and after being put on the reject list at school – but he did, my friend. He also went on to invent many more things – although we associate the light bulb with Edison, the man has invented many a thing other than that as well.

Always remember that you’ll encounter nothing but negativity and naysayers for the most part when you first start to tackle a goal you want to blast through.

This is, in part, one of the reasons I rarely, if ever share my goals with anyone – family included.

More on that later, but fitness wise, rest assured that if you’re just jumping on to the 0 Excuses Fitness bandwagon after being tired and disappointed with the results you got at the gym, or from pounding the pavement galore, then you’ll get plenty of comments directed at you.

And most of them will NOT be complimentary.

“Heck, just pushups! How on earth can pushups constitute an entire workout!”

“500 squats! Everyone knows that one can’t build strength without weights – and more so, once you can do 10 reps of anything, you’re not getting any stronger once you progress past those 10 reps!”

And so forth. The sheep will bay loud and clear, but the wolves will be silent – and keep on doing their thing – and THEIR results, at the end are what will shine through.

I’ve mentioned the 120-60 kgs story here. I’ve mentioned how I do the exact opposite of what the “sh-experts” say, and still accomplish way better results than the average trainee.

And so can YOU – my friend – so can YOU – but only if you’re a WOLF.

That decision, as ole Alonzo would say, is yours to make.

YOU have to decide whether your a wolf – or a sheep”.

Sage indeed, and if you’re interested in being a wolf – and joining up with others that are wolves as well, well then get cracking on the very same thing your brethren do – and do on a regular basis right HERE – – http://0excusesfitness.com/0excusesfitnessystem/

It’ll stand you in better stead than being a sheep – that is for sure!

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

P.S. – Howl out – and do so LOUDLY about anything you so desire via our social media accounts – – Twitter (@0xcusesfitness) and Instagram (@0excusesfitness) would be great places to “follow” us. Remember though, no sheep allowed – you gotta be a WOLF – and a 0 Excuses one at that, hehe. . .

Embrace a new YOU!

Dear Reader,

I’ve been dealing with some crap as of the last day or so – things that annoy me.

Things that get me down – but things that most importantly, I HATE.

Funnily enough, other than those three things, everything has been great since Thursday (remember THAT day?). I’ve been progressing along the path to my current goals – I’ve been getting great workouts in – and things have generally just been falling into place – except for said occurences above.

Yours truly (as readers of this email list know) is HUGE on visualizing and feeling good as opposed to just “thinking” positive (which IMO hardly ever works without the correct emotions attached to it).

But I’m human as well, and last night was a time that a lot of negative emotions somehow bubbled to the surface, and I was “struggling” to deal with them.

“How can this happen?” “I’m the guy that’s feeling good – and good things are happening, and yet …”

Well, this morning I woke up – feeling great as usual, and investigated the root cause of WHY I was feeling down.

Turns out it’s actually good those bad things happened – because a) I could acknowledge that they did happen – and work upon dissipating those negative emotions rather than letting them swirl around in my sub conscious – and b) because doing what I just said put me on the path to yet another new goal – something that excites me tremendously!

I’m not going to divulge what that goal is just as yet – but rest assured I will when the time comes.

In the meantime, and in a nutshell – the reason I’m writing to you about this is this – sometimes bad things (or undesirable outcomes) occur to us DESPITE us feeling good – and positive – and doing all the right things.

It’s easy to question one’s faith in the Universe at such times. We’ve all been there, haven’t we?

But the bottom line is this, my friend – the Universe is looking out for you – and it’s giving you what you really WANT!

Undesirable occurences, annoyances, and other “life issues” are but mere stepping stones to what will ultimately be the NEW YOU – and this belief is KEY to accomplishing (or manifesting, as some like to say) whatever goal it is that you aspire to achieve.

Take it all in stride, as it were.

Dr. Maltz wrote about how a missile “zigs and zags” before it gets to it’s ultimate target in his bestselling Psycho Cybernetics book – a book I highly recommend you pick up (and no, I get nothing for promoting it).

Your mind, and the Universe connected to it works in the SAME manner, my friend. Those minor blips will occur – but so long as the goal is clear, you’ll end up using those blips as stepping stones to greater achievement –  as I did this morning.

Ok, so what does this mean in terms of fitness?

Well, let’s say you’re about 50 kgs overweight, and looking “longingly” at all the slim fit jeans at the store you could never fit into right now.

Let’s say you’ve just watched a movie – where the actors have chiseled bods – bods that you WANT – but don’t have as of now, and can’t even “dream” of having at this point?

Believe me, I’ve been there, my friend. I know how it feels – and yet, all this is a sign from the Universe that you CAN have what it is you want in terms of fitness.

If you couldn’t – you wouldn’t be coming into contact with your “ideal” shape – it’s just that simple!

Belief when translated into solid action can produce astounding results, my friend – and yours truly is living proof.

That’s what is great about the 0 Excuses Fitness System. As you progress along to higher reps, and better performances in the exercises, you not only train the muscles and body – you train the internal systems of the body as well – the most important of which being your MIND.

Yes, these exercises make you CALM – in a way you’ve never imagined possible before. If you don’t believe me, crank out 50 reps of the best darn exercise ever, and you’ll see exactly what I mean.

OK, so that’s the motivation for today. Have a great Sunday — and if you work out today — make it a great, great one!

Best,

Rahul

P.S. – I’m off to take my daughter off for a haircut (well, trim, to be exact) – – but before I go, here is a little pearl of wisdom for you – courtesy Dr. Maltz –

The word cybernetics comes from a Greek term that means ‘a helmsman who steers his ship to port.’ Psycho-Cybernetics is a term I coined which means, ‘Steering your mind to a productive, useful goal …. so you can reach the greatest port in the world … peace of mind. With it, you’re somebody. Without it, you’re nothing.
