alright i got this email from a guy named lee hayward some of you might have heard of him and i thought this email did a good job of telling you like it is grated i have shortened it a bit just by taking out some of the statements made by other health doctors that are agreeing with lee but the bottom line is....nothing is a good substitute for hard work and DEDICATION!!!
What ever happened to, "Get some exercise every day because
it's good for you?" You hardly ever hear that anymore.
Instead, we now hear about "Revolutionary, breakthroughs"
that allow you to train once a week and presto! - overnight
muscle and instant abs! We also hear advice and instruction
such as:
"Don't do too much cardio, or you'll lose your muscle
and get weaker."
"Watch out for catabolism, and beware of cortisol!"
"Be careful not to overtrain..."
"Train don't strain..."
"Long workouts are out... short workouts are in"
"Train less to gain more..."
"Your muscles don't grow while you're training, they
grow while you're resting"
This is all well and good and there's some true and sensible
advice in there, and don't get me wrong - any amount of
exercise is better than no exercise, however...
WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO EXERCISING EVERY DAY BECAUSE
IT'S A POSITIVE HABIT THAT'S GOOD FOR YOU?
Do you remember when fitness professionals used to recommend
daily exercise? Have you noticed the "Achieve more by doing
less" theme getting worse these days? (and being taken to
ridiculous extremes?)
Have you noticed that a tiny core of fitness professionals
still promote daily exercise, but their voices are seldom
heard today amidst the marketing cries of 21st century
Madison Avenue and slick big city publishers?
People DO judge a book by its cover and publishers know
that. Typical magazine articles and books in the health
and fitness section today have titles that sound like this:
Massive Muscles in Minutes
Instant Abs! How to sculpt six pack abs in 3 minutes a day
A few minutes in the morning
The busy executive's two-minute workout
"Sprint": The revolutionary program to Lose Fat and get
in shape 5 minutes at a time
The "Indulge" Program: Enjoy delicious dishes while losing
all the weight you want, without exercise...
The power of one: How to transform your body and your life
with one workout a week
The 30 minute fitness revolution: How to Achieve your
perfect body in just 30 minutes a week
The 11 minute total body workout
All these pitches appeal to your lazy side. Inside, the
authors coddle you like a helpless infant, saying, "Poor
baby, It's not your fault, we understand... we know you
don't have any time... no one does... Don't worry, it's
okay, OF COURSE you don't have to workout for hours and
hours - who ever gave you THAT idea?? Awwwww... there now...
Working out too much is bad for you anyways... breaks down
muscle, suppresses your immune system, causes oxidative
damage and releases cortisol... Follow our easy 5 minute
program and you'll be just fine."
Do you think it's a coincidence that obesity is at an all
time high, rising in lockstep with these lackadaisical
attitudes?
Even with all these "new" exercise programs, training
routines, scientific "breakthroughs," diets, books,
websites, and of course, all the "cutting edge"
supplements, AMERICANS ARE FATTER AND UNHEALTHIER THAN
EVER BEFORE IN HISTORY!!!
And if you're not from the U.S., don't laugh at us, because
your country is probably not far behind!
I'm not implicating laziness as the sole reason for obesity.
That would be over-simplifying a complex problem with
multiple causes. However, laziness and aversion to exercise
are certainly major contributing factors.
Human beings are capable of reaching breathtaking heights,
but they also have a lazy side hard-wired into their
natures. We need a push to overcome inertia. We need
motivation. We need to be inspired to look up and reach for
the stars, instead of settling for a little clod of dirt.
And now, the very diet and fitness industries that are
supposed to be helping and motivating are actually making
it worse by making silly promises in the name of getting
the sale and appealing to our inherent slothfulness.
BUT WAIT! It goes even deeper! Could it be possible that
even the world's most respected health, fitness and medical
organizations are reducing their recommendations so as not
to discourage the public from even trying? Lyle McDonald,
Diet guru and Author of the Ketogenic Diet thinks so. In
Lyle's forum, he wrote:
"From a public policy standpoint, there's that huge
tradeoff: Get a small improvement in health (and presumably
decrease health-costs) by getting folks to do something, or
risk a much larger dropout rate by telling them to work
harder. They keep scaling back their recommendations and
they still can't get the majority of people to do it.
Something is going to be better than nothing, I suppose."
Just how far has this down-sizing of exercise trend gone?
All the way to zero in some cases: Some "experts" tell you
that you don't need ANY exercise at all...
Just take this youth-restoring hormone therapy, a once per
week injection, rub on some crème, take a handful of pills,
get a nip here and a tuck there, have some fat suctioned,
drink a few specially formulated shakes three times a day,
eat these special foods, staple the stomach, stick on a
patch, and there you have it: A perfect body without almost
no expenditure of energy!
Many people who have been struggling with weight loss want
to believe these claims so desperately, they take the bait
every time, even when it sounds too good to be true and
defies common sense.
Remember that classic courtroom scene in the movie
"A Few Good Men" when Jack Nicholson says,
"You want the truth? ... YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!!!"
Well, if you can't handle it, then stop reading now because
here is the truth that almost no one else wants to tell you:
Your body is BEGGING for DAILY exercise.
The human body-mind is the most remarkable creation in the
universe and it was designed and engineered to be used
often and vigorously. The mind and body atrophy and weaken
if not used frequently.
Your body isn't going to fall apart by getting your heart
pumping every day - YOUR BODY WILL THANK YOU FOR IT!!!!!
In some cases, using material things wears them out faster.
Your car only has a certain number of miles on it, right?
Your body is the opposite: It wears out when it's NOT used.
Have we forgotten all the incredible benefits of REGULAR
exercise - both strength training and aerobic training - to
keep us young, vibrant and healthy?
Have we forgotten that exercise can feel good and give you
a natural high that's better than drugs or alcohol?
Have we become so vain and ignorant that all we want is to
look good on the outside for a short while and do it with
the least amount of effort, using the path of least
resistance?
Do you realize that you grow against resistance -
physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually?
Why not have a helicopter fly you up to the summit and drop
you off? You'd get the same view as those blokes who risked
life and limb lugging 60-pound rucksacks up the steep
mountain side for days, wouldn't you?
Why do CHAMPIONS climb?
The answer is: There's no personal growth without the
journey. Reaching the top without the climb leaves you
unfulfilled. The journey is the greatest reward, not the
destination. Champions understand this. The other 95% of
the world hasn't figured it out yet, so they remain stuck
in self imposed bogs of quiet desperation.
Do you really want to go to the store and just buy the
trophy without the competition? How would you feel seeing
it on your mantelpiece? It would make great conversation
at a party, right? Your friends and family would be so
proud of your "bought" trophy... (or would they?)
If you would stop for a minute and think about the great
rewards of training and understand that the training IS the
trophy, then the entire attitude of exercise avoidance
would disappear, obesity and disease would plummet, you
would be working out and loving it, and your health, your
body, your attitude, your energy and your outlook on life
would shift so dramatically, your friends and family would
hardly recognize you. They would be inspired by you too,
so the "exercise fever" would spread.
So HOW MUCH exercise do you REALLY need?
What are we talking about here?
I'm not talking about training two hours a day like Jack
Lalanne has for the last 3/4 of a century, or doing hours
of high intensity weight training like a competitive
bodybuilder, or an hour and a half of cardio a day like
an endurance athlete, unless that's called for to reach
a certain goal, or unless that's what you enjoy.
I'm not talking about lifting weights every day.
You need recovery time from intense forms of training.
I'm not talking about never taking an entire week off for
rest and renewal.
And I'm not talking about never taking any days off.
What I AM talking about is doing some form of moderate
exercise - enough to break a sweat, get you breathing heavy
and bring your heart rate up - almost every day of the week,
most of the year.
It could be the popular six day program alternating weights
and cardio every other day with Sundays off. It could be two
days a week of lifting weights, two days of aerobics classes
and two days of hiking or mountain biking (six days total
with one rest day). If it's fat loss you want, then cardio
every day with a few days of strength training works
like magic.
It could be virtually anything! Choose what you love to do
- just do something every day, include both strength
training and aerobic training each week and do it on a
regular schedule at the same time each day.
Ultimately, the amount of exercise you REALLY need is the
amount it takes to give you the results you want.
However, there are some very compelling reasons to exercise
every day...
Why every day? Because that makes it a HABIT.
Anything you do repeatedly (especially daily) will
eventually become a habit, and your habits, positive or
negative, will control your results and ultimately, shape
your destiny.
Habits can be harnessed to your advantage, propelling you
downstream towards your desired destination, or they can
become your worst enemy, forcing you to paddle fruitlessly
upstream against their powerful currents.
Ninety-nine percent of the things you do each day are done
on "automatic pilot" - without consciously thinking,
deciding, choosing or exerting willpower. That is the power
of habit and exercise is one of the most positive habits
you will ever develop.
Why else is daily exercise a good idea? Because you develop
METABOLIC MOMENTUM.
Your metabolism is like a spinning top. You twist the top
and it starts spinning at maximum velocity, but not long
after your fingers leave contact with the top, it's already
slowing down.
Eventually, the revolutions decrease and the top starts to
wobble. You have to spin it again before it loses all its
momentum and topples over. By spinning it more frequently,
the average rpm's stay higher and the top never slows to a
wobble.
Your metabolism is the same way. Exercise "spins" your
metabolic rate. Many factors affect metabolism, but nothing
else cranks up and maintains your metabolic speed like
frequent exercise of sufficient intensity.
What ever happened to, "Get some exercise every day because
it's good for you?" You hardly ever hear that anymore.
Instead, we now hear about "Revolutionary, breakthroughs"
that allow you to train once a week and presto! - overnight
muscle and instant abs! We also hear advice and instruction

"Don't do too much cardio, or you'll lose your muscle
