Your Beach Body for $39!

Much to my chagrin, I end up spending an inordinate amount of time checking out different exercise programs online. Have you noticed how many "experts" are out there? Everyone has the greatest new thing, with hundreds of dollars worth of "bonuses", all for just $39!

Wow! Achieve the ultimate beach body for less than 40 bucks?! Count me in!

Unfortunately, a $40 ebook isn't going to transform your physique. Only proper nutrition and exercise will do that. Of course, there is a lot of information that you need to know to achieve "proper nutrition". There are also a bajillion exercise programs to choose from, and they are not all created equal. But do you really need to plunk down 40 simoleons to get an effective exercise program?

The answer, my friends, is "no". With a little work, you can put together excellent workouts all on your own. And with the help of exercise videos on YouTube and a searchable encyclopedia of exercises on BodyBuilding.com, the task becomes much easier. (In fact, you can find full workouts on YouTube but, again, they are not all created equal.)

Regardless of how you come up with your workout, there three things you should keep in mind:
  1. Use proper form when doing exercises, even if it means using lighter weights.
  2. Set a weekly workout schedule and stick to it for 4 weeks, then change up your workout and stick to that for 4 weeks, etc...
  3. Focus on body measurements and body fat percentages, not weight!
Obviously there are many more things that you should know in order to physically train your temple properly. If there weren't, then I'd be done blogging very soon! For now, spend some time checking out the sites I mentioned above. And in my next post, to prove to you that I'm not just full of hot air, I'll actually create a 4-week workout using only free online resources.

Train hard and pray harder,
Brandon
