Keep that HEART RATE up!
- - Burn max fat

Dear Reader,

One of the reasons a lot of people don’t believe about the fat loss effects of bodyweight conditioning – is this – that a) they’ve been conned into thinking it’s “too easy – and b) more importantly from a fat loss perspective, they aren’t doing it RIGHT.

Way, way too many people equate bodyweight training with pumping weights in sets at the gym – and that right there is a huge mistake, my friend.

This morning my workout was my usual (while in “quarantine”, hehe) 2000 jumps and 200 squats.

I did NOT do the jumps straight. Contrary to what you might think working out daily doesn’t necessarily you increase the number of straight reps daily – if that were to be the case I would probably be at 200000 reps by now, hehe.

You CHANGE things up, my friend – you do so daily – and thats one key to burning fat like never before, and building a heck of a lot of functional MUSCLE.

(and feeling great too, but thats another story!).

I interspersed 250 jumps with 50 squats today – and went that way for the first part of my workout.

The second part was mixing in pushups WHILE jumping rope and doing a few stretches – and believe me, this hit my entire body like never before.

But I still haven’t gotten to the magic key, my friend.

That being this – you don’t DWADLE between sets.

You do NOT dilly – and you do NOT daddle – and you most certainly don’t spend 10 or 15 minutes “recovering” after each set of an exercise, for instance!

It’s NOT weight training, my friend.

It’s not pumping and preening (or as my friend from the Marines once so adroitly put it “puffing and buffing”.

It’s real training – and more to the point, its real CONDITIONING.

When you’re cranking out 250 pushups straight – you get it done as quickly as possible, and that, my friend is the key to burning fat like never before – not just the actual exercise itself.

One of the reasons my hill workouts are so effective isn’t so much the actual hill, but this – that when I’m out of breath – I always have another set of stairs to climb – that is staring me in the EYE, and goading me, so to speak – to GET IT OVER WITH!

To get it done as soon as possible.

And so even my “rest” periods – even when my heart feels like its going to thump straight out of my chest – include light walks up hill, or at least a couple of stairs.

No standing around, no selfies, and nothing of that nature my friend.

You KEEP GOING – and you keep BREATHING THE WAY I taught you in 0 Excuses Fitness (another massive key) – and that is how you burn MAX FAT – and build max MUSCLE.

And that, my friend is today’s tip – or should I say TWO. I’ve just given away two of my most valuable tips for free – and as for the third, you’ll have to crack open the System to see what I mean.

All for now!

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

P.S – A couple of folks have asked me when I’m coming out with a course on jumping rope and all it’s variations. Well – it’s in the works – but for now – feast “yerself” on our latest “offering” right here, hehe – – https://0excusesfitness.com/pushup-central/

“Too tight around the thighs – and TOO LOOSE around the waist!”
- - they dont make clothes like they should, hehe

Dear Reader,

So, was engaged in a bit of conversation with my wife the other day.

It was about clothing for whatever reason, and I felt the need to bitch up a storm.

“Dang, these track pants”, I went. “I bought them at the end of 2018 – – and they’re already way, way too tight around the leg – – and too loose around the waist!”

Her response?

“Buy better brands and better quality!”

“Huh”, I replied. “Last I know, my Jockey training pants had the exact same, if not quite as acute, issue … as did my sports vests!”

And this problem gets even more acute, my friend – if the clothing I’m wearing has been purchased (note I’m not saying “manufactured”) in the country I’m in – that being China.

Apparently the apparel manufactures have forgotten that the Chinese (holy smokes, I know!) are getting FAT too – and a LOT of them.

And apparently those in the rest of the world have designed their clothes for the atypical “gym bodies”.

What do I mean?

Well, in terms of T-shirts and pants both – I end up having to buy one size too large.

For the T-shirts, this is to ensure that my shoulders don’t “break right through” the sleeve. Unfortunately this has the effect of making the waist “billow” if you get my drift!

And for the pants, it’s a struggle to get the thighs and ass in with the right size – but the waist goes all the way up my lower chest, hehe, if you can picture that!

Of course, this won’t cause any issues for the typical “beach body” gym goes with unnaturally scuplted “twelve” packs – a puffy chest – little to NO back development – and spindly “spinster like” or “pelican like” legs.

You may think I’m being a tad bit unkind here my friend but I’m not – look at the average “gym fanatic” supposedly “exercising” while seated on a padded seat pumping away furiously at the pec deck – and you’ll see what I mean!

It’s sad, but true. They don’t make clothes for those of us interested in REAL health, strength and fitness.

Those of us that have narrow waists – and keep on whittling it down even further while our shoulders, thighs and hips all increase in sheer SIZE and strength (not to mention the calves and forearms as well!).

Those of us that are built well with broad backs and a muscular, strong, rugged CHEST – – and have traps to boot as well.

Those of us with, … ah, but you get the picture!

So if you’re interested in “fitting into” your clothes right off the rack, my friend – then you might as well give 0 Excuses Fitness a MISS, and a ROYAL one at that. Join the gym and start pounding out some crunches – more power to ya!

But if you’re amongst the few interested in REAL health, STRENGTH – and fitness from the inside out – then you’ll gladly put up with the inconveniences I’ve listed above – and CONTINUE training the 0 Excuses way!

The choice is yours, my friend – but I know what I’d do. And if I were your brother, I KNOW what choice I’d give you!

It’s a no brainer my friend. Jump on the very best fitness program on the planet – right NOW – – and start CRANKING!

Best,

The one exercise akin to stair climbing ….
- ... that will lower your resting pulse rate quicker than anything else!

Dear Reader,

Way back in the day, when yours truly slogged up the hill the first time with “Ann” Lee – whom I’ll always remember if for no other reason than to introduce me to the HILL – the almighty HILL I write about so much – and love so much – I wasn’t in the best of shape – and thats putting it politely.

Now, I was strong – don’t get me wrong. I used to lift weights and had a strong grip – as well as a strong upper body – but the bulge was literally expanding by the day if you get my drift.

My digestion was off – my legs were “somewhat strong” – or so I thought – and core? Forget about it, my friend.

Well, I was hammered the first time I climbed that hill – thats a story I’ve told you so many times that you probably remember it the first thing every time you work out, hehe.

My entire body was PULVERISED – in a good way.

“Can I do this daily”, I asked Ann. “Well, maybe not. I work late and … ” (the procrastination part of me speaking up there!).

“No excuses! You CAN do it daily!” was the tart response, and thus started the fitness journey – – of a LIFETIME, my friend.

I’ve detailed how I climbed that hill galore – late at night – early in the AM – multiple times a day – at noon – and the great shape it got me into.

Prior to this, my resting pulse rate was an unhealthy 95 – and after? I got it down to 70.

But sad as it may sound, I’ve had occasions where I have had to move to another city in China – or elsewhere – and did NOT have access to my favorite workout “tool” at that point.

I still stayed in great shape by running up stairs etc … but there was something missing, I always felt.

One day I saw some Matt Furey videos about Hindu Squats – and my first thought was “Gosh, that’s gotta be EASY”

“Can I really get in even better shape with those?”

If I had been like most people, I’d have knocked the exercise right there and then – but I didn’t.

The first time I did the squats RIGHT – I was so sore I couldn’t walk properly for two days.

That’s right – much like what happened the first time I slogged up the HILL!

And slowly as I progressed in this great, great exercise – – I developed versions of my own – – and started teaching it to my students all over the world – – and the results have been GREAT for everyone that has actually DONE the exercise as it SHOULD be done.

“Bodyweight exercises are too easy”, you hear people say.

Well let’s see you do a set of 50 Hindu squats, my friend – and then tell me how you feel the next day.

“I really can’t lose weight without at least half an hour of cardio”.

Fooey. Once you get to the point you can do 100 straight squats in less than 3 minutes, and then 500 straight in around 17 minutes (ideally 13-15, by which time you’ll be at Superman status!) – you’ll realize that quick’n’dirty – and HARD – workouts are the way to go when it comes to burning FAT, my friend.

Not to mention lowering that resting pulse rate – mine dropped to (believe it or not) – 60 after a couple of months of doing these every other day religiously.

Am I saying these are BETTER than the hill – or even running stairs?

No – but they’re not WORSE – they’re just as good in terms of overall fat loss and muscle building. Believe me, you’ll feel your chest and shoulders work too (I know, sounds strange, doesn’t it?) as you work up to higher reps of this great, great exercise.

My workout today was 2000 rope jumps interspersed with 200 squats, and I could have done it the other way around too – to make it tougher – much tougher!

Anything over 500 squats in a workout is no joke – BELIEVE me.

Anyway, I feel great. Had a bit of a case of the sniffles, and this heart pounding, sweat inducing, lard BURNING workout was JUST what I needed.

It’s just what you need too, my friend – but bear in mind – proper form is key on the Hindu squat – as well as many of the other great exercises I teach.

The secret(s) to weight loss that you aren’t being TOLD
- - and how they can help you lose weight rapidly

Dear Reader,

There is a secret to rapid fat loss – WEIGHT loss – over your entire body, and especially that pesky midsection area that you aren’t being told.

The “experts” aren’t telling you because most of them don’t know about it themselves. And if they did, they’d sneer at it despite the solid proof that it WORKS.

Ditto for commercial gyms, relatives, friends – and just about whoever you reveal this secret (or should I say secrets) to.

But mark my words my friend (and I learned this the HARD way) – this is KEY to reducing FAT in the fastest possible amount of time – while making VERY little – or even NO change to your diet – and believe me, I’ve been there and done that.

I’ve been in the situation where I was working out – gaining muscle – getting better – but still, there was something missing.

I wasn’t getting my midsection in the sort of shape I wanted. I’d try and watch what I ate (not to an extreme), and while that worked to a degree – it never really accomplished the REAL results I wanted (think rapid weight loss from a portly 120 kgs – to a slim, svelte and STRONG 60 kgs – NO, that ain’t an exaggeration either!).

And before you jump on this as being “yet another marketing message” for Eat More – Weigh Less – well – HOLD YER HORSES, my friend.

While the above manual is an INDISPENSABLE tool in your fitness and weight loss arsenal, the point is this – – it isn’t the entire secret.

The secret isn’t what you eat – or watching your calories, or even so much WHEN you eat.

While workouts DO factor into the secret (obviously huh), they are NOT the full secret – and NOT in the way you’d think.

No, it’s a combination of various factors – – and this is something I’ve never written about before fully in my books and courses. I have no idea why, by the way. I’ve always been meaning to do it, but …

Anyway, due to the sheer number of people asking me about these things – and exercises etc – I figure I’m going to go into detail on this one “combo tip” in the 0 Excuses Fitness Ship – and back it up with facts. So for those of you that are really interested in supreme health, fitness and VITALITY levels – sign up now – you’ll never regret it!

On other fronts, Pushup Central seems to disappearing off the shelves as fast as we can restock – good thing it’s an electronically delivered book so we don’t have to physically restock. If you haven’t yet gotten your paws on it – do so NOW, my friend.

And that’s that for now. I will be back again soon!!

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

P.S. – In terms of secrets, Eat More – Weigh Less (and indeed even the 0 Excuses Fitness system) reveals another one that is NOT talked about in contemporary fitness circles – – that being how to RECOVER from being out of breath – quicker. No more panting “for ages” until you finally get back to it – once you master this secret – you’ll be recovering from them sprints like no-one’s business!

“Are pushups good for a lot of muscles?”
- - and more on the PLANK

Dear Reader,

So, just had an interesting conversation with a good friend and old “cohort”, hehe, who had apparently noticed my posts on social media about the plank – and of course Pushup Central.

He asked me about the Coronavirus in China, and we discussed that a bit. Differing opinions we had on that one, but in any case,we quickly got to talking about EXERCISE.

This guy, by the way is a 6’1″ former Army man – as well as wrestler – so you’d think he knows a thing or two about conditioning. Hehe.

“I didn’t contact you about the virus, Rahul, actually … ”

“Well thats good!” I responded, laughing. “I’m certainly no expert on the virus … ”

“Are planks good”, he abruptly followed up with. “I saw your recent posts regarding the plank, and … ”

“Can the plank be done with other exercises?”

“Planks are great”, I responded, smiling. “Did you hear the new about the ex-Marine breaking the record for the longest consecutive period of time spent in the plank position?”

“Sure did”, he responded.

“Planks are great”, I repeated. “But if there is ONE exercise I’d do – I’d do the pushup. If there is ONE exercise I’d choose – it’s the pushup. If there is ONE exercise that hits the ENTIRE body – it’s the PUSHUP!”

“Do pushups work a lot of muscles”, he asked.

“Hell yes they do! There is a reason boxers and wrestlers use them in their training … ”

There was more, of course, hehe, but I think you can guess what I told him.

“Thanks Rahul”, he replied. “I’m going to seriously consider your product – but I still think the best way to lose weight is to stop drinking a ton of beer”, he said, grinning from ear to ear.

“Can’t argue with THAT, my friend”, I laughed. “Especially not if you’re polishing off 5-6 large bottles of lager a day, hehe. Or whiskey, for that matter. If you’re serious about losing weight – – STOP drinking – period!”

Now, those of you that are regular readers will probably chime in at this point.

What gives, Rahul? What about Eat More – Weigh Less? What about the results you posted from following exactly what is being posted in that book?

Well the results are true, my friend – but it doesn’t mean that you can go “bottoms up” every night and still improve your health, my friend.

True health is from the INSIDE OUT – and while you WILL lose weight externally if you’re on Eat More Weigh Less routines, drinking too much is NOT good for your internal organs, regardless of the sort of external shape you’re in (or look to be in).

Anyway, I didn’t probe further on why he was asking me these questions – but I got it. Haha.

The Coronavirus lockdown in China has pretty much kept folks indoors for months on end – and people are getting antsy – and “acting strange” (he wasn’t – but a lot are) from being cooped up with nothing to do all day.

Funny part though is, a few GOOD home workouts would not only take care of the excess flab – but also the “antsy” part!

Trust me, my friend. I wrote to you this morning about how good I feel – and now – hours later – and it’s evening here – that feeling has NOT gone away, despite my NOT going out anywhere at all during the day.

Thats how good these workouts make you feel – and look, of course, hehe.

Especially pushups, my friend – and if you’re not already rifling through Pushup Central to find out what exactly the big deal is about – well – then – do so NOW – by grabbing the course right here – – https://0excusesfitness.com/pushup-central/.

You give me 20 minutes – I give YOU a six pack!
- - and it's easy, my friend. It's easy - if you just DO it!

Dear Reader,

One of my all time favorites movies that I believed I’ve mentioned before is Training Day – with Denzel Washington as the main lead (Ethan Hawke I believe as the young rookie??).

In that movie Denzel plays a wizened, experienced, yet corrupt to the bone LAPD Narc – and he takes on a young trainee (Jake Hoyt) under his “wing” for ONE day – and ONE day alone to see “what he is made of” and if he can fit him into his squad.

Well, the story is interesting enough (even though it’s a “pot boiler’ish” flick of sorts – but a GOOD one – kudos Denzel) – and at one point, Denzel is trying to get the young rookie to take the blame for a shooting that he didn’t commit – all supposedly “for the team”.

“You give me 18 months, son”, Denzel intones, looking directly at Jake as the latter points a double barreled shotgun at him (the same gun that was used to shoot a person a minute or so ago).

“You give me 18 months – and I give you a career!”

“But if you’re in this with me Jake, you’re either in it all the way, or not at all – you understand?” he continues, with a very pointed look on his face.

And in terms of fitness, my friend – HERE is what I got to say – YOU give me 20 minutes of your time daily – and I’ll give you a six pack in record time – on YOU – guaranteed!!

No if’s, but’s or maybe’s. Provided you give me the time I asked for – I’ll get you that six pack and functional muscle all over your entire body. Guaranteed.

As I finished this morning’s workout – this thought came to me and I figured I’d write to you about it.

Oh, I forgot to mention – give me a jump rope as well – the cheap kind if you so choose, hehe – but even if you don’t – I’ll still get you that six pack. Haha.

What do I mean?

Well, today’s workout was 2000 jumps – done in 20 minutes. Pretty much done straight with the occasional few seconds break – and let me tell you this my friend – I was BUZZED after the workout.

My forearms and traps were screaming out LOUD – and I was sweating up a storm.

My shirt was drenched, and so were my socks. It was like I had been out running miles – or even climbing my favorite hill which I CAN’T at this point due to the lockdowns etc – but boy oh boy, did I get a GREAT workout in!

And believe me, these weren’t just the easy jumps – I did double jumps – criss crosses – and much more during this workout.

And lest you think any of that is overly complicated – think AGAIN, my friend. Even the rank newbie can get good at this very very quickly indeed – and although I have not put out a course on it as yet –  I am SERIOUSLY thinking about doing so.

By the way, although I have a ton of courses out there, they barely scratch the surface of what I know about training. Additionally, there is always more to talk about – more to LEARN – both for me and YOU – and those nitty gritties – those little things that you have to “experience” for yourself – well – all of that and more – as well as ADVICE from yours truly is available right there for the TAKING in my “inner circle” – or 0 Excuses Ship as I like to call it.

Those of you that have purchased multiple products from us (a big thank you, by the way!) will find this to be an awesome “steal“. Some of you have already jumped aboard – to you guys – well – ahoy – and kudos!

Anyway, as Denzel says, you gotta be in it all the way, my friend, or not at all .

I’m not conning you as Denzel was Hoyt – but I WILL tell you – the 0 Excuses Ship- and indeed all our products are only for the DOERS in life, my friend.

If you prefer to sit back and pout, moan, groan and complain about this and that – or not having time – or Coronavirus lockdowns – or “bad mood” – or any of that other nonsense – well – I can’t help you, my friend.

Other hand – if you get down to brass tacks – give me that time – and just do it – well – a WHOLE NEW world AWAITS, my friend – and it’s yours for the taking – right NOW!

Well, my friend, that is that for now. I’ll be back soon!

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

P.S. – Did I mention I finished off with 125 pushups? I didn’t have to, but damn, those workouts feel so good you wanna do more – and did more I did – in fact, I did a custom workout that I give YOU in Pushup Central – a course that has been flying off the shelves ever since I put it out a few days ago. I may not be able to offer it at the price it is being offered now – so go HERE and grab this little monster now – – https://0excusesfitness.com/pushup-central/

P.S#2 – Lots of folks in mainland China are moaning and groaning about gaining weight during the Coronavirus lockdown. Now I get it – lockdowns SUCK – hell, I can’t get to my favorite hill either – but that ain’t an excuse to turn into a slob, my friend. There are workout routines that you’ll never get bored of – with plenty of variety – that you can do right there in your living room. Take control of your life NOW, my friend – get on the stick right HERE – https://0excusesfitness.com/0excusesfitnessystem/

Follow One Course Until Success
- -F.O.C.U.S!!

Dear Reader,

Some of the things we tell our kids – and young ‘uns – the sayings we teach ’em in schools, at home etc –  as adults, the VERY VAST MAJORITY of adults would do well to follow them ourselves.

Or, “practice what we preach”, hehe. Thats one of those sayings, btw …

Recently I came upon an interesting saying written on my 6 year old’s school “clipboard” – – that being, “Follow one course until success”.

The first letter of each word was capitalized – – for obvious reasons – – and upon looking at it, I believe this is one of the most valuable value one can instil in a young mind – and – importantly, or just as importantly, foster the very same values – or rekindle them – in our adult minds.

As kids, we are goal oriented and FOCUSED than we believe.

Ever seen a three year throw a tantrum for, lets say, not being allowed to (or not being able to find ) his/her favorite chocolate – or candy bar?

Or when a six year old wants a toy BAD?

And so forth.

In all such cases, these kids usually end up getting exactly what they want – and are nigh persistent about it until they do, hehe. In other words that laser sharp focus is there – on what they WANT – not what they don’t want!

As adults, often times we have goals, but we quickly lose sight of this end goal when the going gets tough.

Truth be told, nothing worthwhile – super fitness included – was achieved without sacrifice, my friend – and without PERSISTENCE (as Napoleon Hill famously said, persistence is to a man’s character what carbon is to STEEL).

The same author also (equally) famously once said that the Universe does NOT give up the object or goal you’re trying to attain – until it deems you worthy of it. There are no shortcuts, and there is no cheating the Universe, my friend.

Sometimes (and I’m paraphrasing here) it seems there is a “hidden guide” that exists whose job it is to “trip us up” in all ways possible on our way to the goal – and to see if we can take it.

Once we do pass all the tests – and few do, my friend – a rarefied few – then – and only then – will Nature give up the object of your struggles to you!

From that point on, everything you wanted will literally flow to you – after you have proved yourself CAPABLE and worthy of taking – and bettering – whatever is thrown at ya – and this requires SUPER FOCUS, my friend.

Take fitness, for instance.

If your goal is to get rid of those six (or more) inches of unsightly flab hanging on to your abdomen – then you WORK towards the goal – and keep at it – no matter what.

You keep at it no matter how much people discourage you.

“Oh, you’ll never get there!” (in itself a great motivator as I once wrote about before).

You keep at it through rain, sun, shine and hail. You do what it takes. You make the sacrifices.

And all the time, what enables you to DO all this is your FOCUS – your focus on the END goal – and what you DO want.

Last, but certainly not least, it also means you don’t “chop and change” galore. When you’re on a certain fitness routine – give it TIME to work – in some case that time is literally less than a few days – but again – give it TIME to work.

If your goal is to eat more and weigh less, for instance, then DO the workouts – and stick to them without chopping and changing daily – in other words – – follow that one course until SUCCESS!

(Note – this doesnt mean you don’t make changes along the way as REQUIRED – key word being REQUIRED. Way too many people lack the resolve to SEE a fitness program through though – and that is what I’m referring to here!!)

These lessons apply as much to fitness as they do life, my friend.

Take a minute, and ponder it if you so would – proper focus will work miracles in all areas of your life – fitness included!

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

P.S. – Along with proper focus the proper WORKOUTS are required – and contrary to what you might think (or have been told) – diet ain’t the most important part by far. That isn’t an excuse to go “bottoms up” of course, but the fact is, workouts are indeed king – and you can lose TONS of weight (while building functional MUSCLE) – and if you’re interested in regimens that will achieve exactly THAT effect – check out “Eat More – Weigh Less – -right here – – https://0excusesfitness.com/eatmore-weighless/

Bare bones training
- Back to basics!

Dear Reader,

It should come as no surprise to you, my dear reader – and indeed the casual browser on the website, and indeed all my customers – that I’m a huge huge fan of the “K.I.S.S.” principle.

Keep it simple and stupid is my version of it and apparently the most widely used one, and no, I do NOT mean “stupid” in any sort of derogatory manner.

In other words – barebones – – and simple sometimes works best!

Flashback to RockyIII – where the champ (Rocky) is “training” (I use quotes for a reason) in a fancy shmancy gym with gals and machines galore vying for his attention and doing very little actual training – if any – at all!

And while he’s going through the motions and posing for photoshoots etc in the middle of “training session” with music playing no less, you have “Mr. T” – a solid LUMP of muscle if there ever was one training HARD – like he MEANT it – in barebones style – – in his dungeon!

You see him at one point doing two finger pull-ups – – fingers heavily taped.

You see looking into a dirty mirror and shadow boxing and “running on the spot” – or “sprinting on the spot”, should I say.

The outcome of the match is well known to all, and later on, as Apollo Creed whips Rocky back into shape – we see the champ walk into the gym where he’s about to be trained to “turn back into the beast he once was”

You see guys hitting the heavy bag while pipes leak. You see a dark training room with ONE bulb – about to fall out of its casing. And so forth.

And as Paulie rightly said “Rocko, lets get out of here before they kill us!”. Hehe.

I don’t mean that in a derogatory manner again, but you get my drift!

But those type of workouts, my friend – are really what get results.

When I slogged up the hill in the noon – or  multiple times in freezing cold weather in the A.M. – I didnt have no music playing (other than “Suave” on my phone occasionally – or perhaps “Angel of the City”, hehe). A lot of times not even that.

I didn’t have no trainers egging me on.

I didn’t have no “nice training environment”. No fancy clothes. Certainly no selfies or even gals. Nothing of that nature.

I had – to put it simply – what I had which was the clothes on my back – – a dark, deserted park – – cold, blustery winds – – and an ending flight of grim looking stairs.

And myself – and ME alone – and the will to get it done – and by God I did – day after day – in a SPARTAN training environment.

As Mike Tyson once famously said,

No one wants to get up at 4 and run when it’s pitch-dark, but it has to be done. The only reason i do it so early is because i believe the other guy isn’t doing it and that gives me a little edge.

Today, as folks ask me “if I go to the gym” –  or tell me ” I look like this movie star or that” – or other such comments – – I smile.

And think back to the bare bones, spartan training that I did – and still do!

In the book on pushups, you’ll see me training on a cement floor. Believe me, barefoot training on cement ain’t as easy as it looks – and when you do fingertip pushups on cement – watch out. Your fingers will turn into iron pliers, and then some.

You’ll see nothing on the walls.

You’ll see a couple of raggedy couches that we put there to get them out of the way.

You might even see that the tubelight in the room is missing – my own “Rocky in the dungeon” touch, hehe.

But guess what – I have got and continue to get some of the best darn workouts of my life in that room!

It isn’t a lot different from when I took the 0 Excuses Fitness videos. You see a rickety old air conditioner in that video – from the 80s probably – and so well did it run that I sweated up a storm during my workout – with A/C on, hehe.

But barebones gets results, my friend – and results are what I’ll deliver to YOU with my new book on pushups.

Pushup Central it is indeed, and the BEST DAMNED course on pushups out there – and that ain’t no exaggeration, mi amigo!

And thats it for now. Back later!

62 year old man sets plank RECORD
- Where is YOUR excuse??

Dear Reader,

Well, as I come down from the “high” of finishing Pushup Central (believe me, putting books out there on a regular basis can be a draining, yet incredibly rewarding task in many ways!) – – I happened to chance upon some interesting news.

Actually, the wife did, and she sent me link on Whatsapp.

I clicked it idly, and there it was “62 year old sets a world record for the plank”.

Now prior to this, my wife had sent me an audio note talking about a “plonk” (or something to that effect). While I have no idea why it was pronounced the way it was – probably the message goofed up or something (tech gremlins??) – – I spent the better part of 5 minutes trying to figure out what a “plonk” – or “plonche” as it sounded like could be.

Could have just asked her, of course but …. hehe, I think we all know the answer to that one (at least those of you that are married do, hehe).

Anyway, jokes aside, it finally hit me after a few minutes.

Oh, PLANK!! I said, and then as I read the article, I saw the headline.

A 62 year old Army (Marine, actually – my bad!) Vet from Naperville has set this record – of holding a plank – at his age – – for 8 hours – 15 minutes – and 15 seconds!

The article said he did it straight. No idea how bathroom breaks etc were taken care of, but hey – that sort of thing takes some doing, my friend – even if its “just a plank” (which by the way is a pose the average  Joe can’t hold for more than a few seconds if even that).

Now, why do I mention this?

First off, because planks are a great, great exercise for the entire body my friend – a great STATIC exercise at that. I wrote a couple of emails ago about static exercises providing you with an excellent workout, and the plank – done right – is NO exception to the rule.

And second, because if 62 year old George Hood can do it at HIS age – where is YOUR excuse, my friend?

We have folks that are barely out of their twenties complaining about feeling run down – tired – beat up – constantly in bed at the slightest sign of fatigue – constantly whining about “not having time to exercise” – or “there isn’t a gym nearby” … all while a 62 year old just DOES the thing – and sets world records!

A plank is easy for me to do – but 8 hours?? That’s more a feat of concentration than anything else – – not to mention the tremendous tricep and core strength it would build – – and looking at the arms on the dude – – I can believe it!

He has the same “heavy duty” look about him that my friend from the Marines has – – that same “gorilla like upper body” – – and how did he celebrate his feat? By pumping out 75 straight pushups.

Curiously enough, that, my friend is exactly what I did this morning as part of my workout.

I jumped rope for 15 minutes straight, did a 100 Hindu squats and 75 pushups. Stretched out a bit after that – – and I feel GREAT now. Oh yes, I do – – and this feeling will last me for the entire day.

And so can you, my friend – – you TOO can feel this good throughout the entire day – if you just kick start your day with the right form of exercise.

And pushups are one of the best way to jump start your day. The pushup is really one of those “feel good” exercises in that because of the increased blood flow to the chest and upper body – you sweat a lot more – and you burn fat – and you feel GREAT – for the entire day!

So if you aren’t already doing pushups – or don’t know how to do them (and the majority of people do NOT  do pushups right) – drop down right now – and give me 20!

And drop the excuses, my friend. They ain’t worth it!

Best,
