Many people say getting and staying in shape is hard, I disagree.
When it comes to fitness, I’ve discovered that most people are rhetorical, and try to complicate simplicity. People just can't believe that basic fitness is simple, not easy, but very very simple--did I say very? You don't need any grueling or punitive workout routine, or some exotic diet based on a super food; all you need to do is master the basics. It doesn't matter if you think you are ‘big-boned’ or Endomorph or simply store too much fat in your adipose tissue, hey, we all have our stories. But the bottom-line is that getting and staying in shape is 100% your responsibility.
Now you might say, 'I've tried everything', 'I've read all the books', 'taken all the supplements.' Well, that is exactly where the problem is. With so much information and literature (and I mean, so much!) on fitness, you would think the whole world would be fit by now and this book would probably be redundant. To be sure, in the quest to be fit, some people have tried everything and yet have achieved nothing. So, it's not really that people don’t know what to do, but rather, they don’t know how to do it and don't do what they know.
Further, what gets lost in all the infoxication and prescriptions from so-called 'fitness gurus' are the fundamentals. I don't care what your routine is, what you eat or don't eat or how often you do what you do, If you have missed the basics of fitness, you're fighting a losing battle.
Coming to why I wrote this book. To be honest, I wrote this book out of frustration. Firstly, I was frustrated by the works of several phony fitness experts that put across ideas on how to get and stay in shape with varying degree of absurdity. Secondly, I was frustrated at the number of readers that entertained such works despite them not yielding the desired results. Coming from a military background, I believe in the basics, the fundamentals, getting down to brass tacks! So, in this publication, I present 7 guaranteed steps to get and stay in shape, FOREVER! These steps are tried and tested, and though they may appear intuitive, they are the simple things that people overlook that actually make the difference.
Like I've already mentioned, you have probably read a lot of books on fitness. So why should you read another one? Well, this book is practical, concise and straight to the point--If I do say so myself. It is not filled with fluff for marketing reasons or a lot of explanations to try and convince you. What I present in the book are facts! whether you agree with them or not. So, you'll ignore the contents of this book at your own peril, but I assure you, if you do follow the simple steps outlined in the book, your fitness is guaranteed. WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT!
