Getting Back in Shape


Question: Consider the problem of a middle aged guy trying to get back into shape. It takes more than a little running and diet to give you that body you had when you were in basic. Workout plans plus a serious diet (not dieting) recommendations would be valuable.

Answer: Warning, nobody likes this answer. Nobody. Since I have been on the www, about 5% of men follow this prescription. 100% of them are successful with women! It is a choice. It works. I am living proof!

This is a TWO PART ANSWER, part 2 is next week’s newsletter.

STEEL BALLS REQUIRED. Jog or brisk walk for 30 minutes with your heart beat over 120, under 130, seven days a week with no excuse of any kind accepted for three months. When I say no excuse accepted, that means exactly that. Death in the family, double over-time at work, rain, sleet, snow, ice, heat, race riots in the city. NO EXCUSE IS LEGITIMATE.

You must do this every damn day for 90 days. (I ran every day for 456 days when I began, because I know myself and if I took one day off, that would have been the end of it.)

Sweat, grunt, swear but do 30 minutes. That’s mandatory. Do not go for 35 minutes! Do not go fast. Just do what it takes to get your pulse over 120.

After 90 days, you can have one day a week off. Stay at six days a week for three more months. Again, no excuse is acceptable. Do not be tempted to go for longer or try to go faster until the second 90 days is over.

At the end of six months, you can reduce your exercise to 4 or 5 days a week. But you must continue to exercise forever! Not until you’re 50, forever. Why? Being is shape is what enables you to have sex like an 18 year old when Debbie Opportunity presents herself. As I wrote, you must be able to keep up with her, otherwise you’re discarded rapidly.

Later on, if you get fascinated with, and addicted to, the endorphin high as I did, you can become a runner, as I did. Becoming a disciplined runner is an easy, painless way to heal your soul and heart from all of the pain and sorrow that has piled up during the first 40 years of life as a man. Discipline yourself physically and you will discipline your mind accidentally at the same time. Running is perfect for building a relaxed, accepting attitude about life and love. I am living proof that it can be done. At age 34 I could not run around the block. At age 44 I could run rings around 35 year olds.

The Greeks said a healthy body and a healthy mind. I say, rat on, bro. Get out there and put those miles on. It will pay immense dividends in only six months.
