... Just like novicaine: works EVERY time if you just give it a shot!

As a physical therapist and fitness pro, I have developed a neat little library of fun-terms or cliches that I use from time to time. You may already know some of the oldies but goodies like, "No pain no gain" or "You are what you eat".

One of my all-time favorites is: "Proper nutrition and regular exercise are like novicaine: each works EVERY SINGLE TIME if you just give it a shot!"

The idea is simple but most people never really give proper nutrition and regular exercise a fighting chance.

I URGE you and those around you to give it a shot. Take a good hard look at what you are doing now and dial it up for 8 ENTIRE weeks. That's long enough to see some very significant gains and hopefully propel you into whatever the next step of your training is. DON'T QUIT! DON'T STOP! DON'T LET UP! No matter what. Sick? Feeling down? "Tired?" Suck it up! Give this thing your BEST honest effort and accept all of the rewards.

I'd love to hear what you are doing to make the changes you need to be on top of your game. Post them here and help everyone else with ideas for how they can make real change in their lives.

MAKE HEALTH HAPPEN.
