If Fitness Is Your Goal, You Will Have To Work A Little

Hey guys, it’s time to get your acts together! Now that you’ve spent a fortune on fitness books and and DVD’s, it’s time to stop whining about still being fat and flabby. Just joining a gym and buying stuff isn’t going to make you fit and healthy - you have to do the workouts if you want results!

Boys - did you expect to magically look like the guy on the cover of that ’six-pack abs’ e-book you bought just because you went to the trouble of printing it out and putting a staple through it? Six months have passed and pushing a staple gun is the most exercise you’ve gotten out of it. That was such a big chore that you had to lie down on the couch and read erotic comics.

Girls - what about that aerobics workout DVD you paid so much for. You waited in breathless anticipation until it came in the mail. Then you pulled out the DVD, popped it in the machine and sat down with a no calorie soft drink and watched it. The next day, you decided to watch it once more while you stuck some pictures in your Disney scrapbook. You haven’t seen it since.

As for that gym membership - they must love you there! You just pay them a bunch of money every month and maybe go in for a half-hearted warm-up on the exercise bike before you decide that you’re feeling a little run-down and better come back tomorrow.

Did you know that the owner of your local gym loves you? He loves you because you pay him regularly for something you never make use of. You walk in, pay him money and walk out again. What a perfect way to make a buck!

How do you think people who actually get fit get that way? Do you think that like you, they just bought some books and DVD’s? You’ve got to burn calories to lose them. You’ve got to exercise your muscles to build them up. If you haven’t sweated and felt your muscles burn, you haven’t earned the right to have a personal massager. Just getting stressed by the thought of working out doesn’t entitle you to one! Stop whining and work out!

Have you got the picture yet? Stop complaining and get to work or just stop whining and get back to your comics and scrapbooks. If you really want to get fit, you’ll do it!
