Most folks today are looking for everything  to be “fast and easy”!  We don’t want to wait in line, we don’t want to wait in traffic, we don’t want to wait on the phone…we want it fast…and we want it now, no matter what we’re talking about!  We truly have become a “fast food society”.   And this is especially true when it comes to fitness. Look around…on the web, in the bookstore, on TV…promises of 3-minute solutions to getting fit!  Wouldn’t it be great if you could just take a pill, or a drink, sit down in front of the TV and lose pounds and burn mega calories while simply punching the remote?!  Or for the really committed, just  work out 3 minutes a day on the latest ab-gadget and look great on the beach by summer?

Well, don’t shoot the messenger…BUT IT AIN’T GONNA HAPPEN!!  But I will share with you the absolute secret to getting fit and staying that way, and this won’t cost you a thing!  Are you ready?  Got a pencil and paper?  Write this down….D..I..S..C..I…P…L…I…N…E……AND….S…E…L…F…-…C…O…N…T…R…O…L.!  That’s all you need!!!  And you thought this was going to be hard!!!  All you need is the discipline to move your body…to be active… and the self-control to limit what you’re going to feed that now-active body of yours!

Once you make the decision to exercise discipline and self-control with regards to your fitness, then you’re ready to take serious action!  Formulate a plan based on things such as your interests, your skills, the weather, your resources, and your long-term goals.  Only then will you be prepared to keep your efforts on track when things come along that will challenge and discourage you from reaching your goals!
