I am no-nonsense about my passion to work with you as a team. However, my team has no laggards, quitters, or members who believe that “life just happens.”

We believe in the Body for the Ages Wellness Philosophy. Its rewards: a new you, greater self-esteem, and a hell of a lot of fun.

Bet you thought as a bodybuilder, I was going to show men how to put an inch on your arm, or women how to get rid of cellulite.

I want to show you more than that. Together we can change your life. My mission is to attack America’s number one killer: heart disease. And I do it through the Body for the Ages Wellness Philosophy.

But then, there is so much more that comes with it. Learn my protocol, and it can position you to become a millionaire, have success in your field of endeavor (not all life is based on the almighty dollar), to enhance your self-esteem, and/or you can have optimized success, health and happiness.

I’m not going to tell you the need to strangle America’s number one killer: heart disease. I want to show you how to do it.

Once done, it will affect your entire life. In the process I guarantee you will learn weight loss or weight control. I will show you how to get a body of your dreams. You will be exposed to the prospect of a complete, positive, remake of your life, from what you eat, to how you feel when you wake up.

Your life changes and as a by-product, you will reduce or reverse your heart disease risks.

It’s all based on the Body for the Ages Wellness Philosophy.

I’ll leave you this week with a true story. My friend Elaine Pedersen was flying to Portland, Oregon, and on the plane she met former football coach John McKay of the University of Southern California. The USC team was to play Oregon that Saturday. Upon departing, Elaine said to coach McKay, “good luck on Saturday.” The coach turned and paused for a moment. He looked at Elaine and said, “I suppose that has something to do with it.”

The moral of the story: having a plan, like the Body for the Ages Wellness Philosophy is what wins football games, not luck. The same applies in life.

In the past, I saw fitness as a hobby. (A strange, painful activity done by strange people.) I’d see friends head to the gym in the evenings for a workout, and think, “Run on a treadmill? Lift weights? No thanks. Not for me.”

I’ve lately begun to notice that in this day and age, a “not for me” attitude, when it comes to fitness, leaves you lacking in many areas of life, including job security. With health insurance rates rising, companies are beginning to take active measures to insure their employees are health-conscious assets to their companies, rather than costly burdens.

So I guess you could say I jumped on the bandwagon out of fear. Once the seed had been planted, though, I began to think more about it. Faced with the opportunity to join the Body for the Ages Online Wellness Program, I asked myself what such an undertaking really meant to me. Well, of course it may seem obvious: a healthier lifestyle… Duh. But I think it’s easy for us to lump the terms “health”, “fitness”, and “wellness” into an abstract idea - a chore or an obligation, like when we’re little and we hear “Eat your vegetables” at the dinner table every night.

It’s important, though, to stop and think about how wellness is connected to our life’s most cherished goals. I got out a pen and paper and asked myself what exactly I wanted from the Body for the Ages Wellness Program.

What will you bring me, health? I asked in big letters at the top.

Underneath, I listed:

More energy
A sexy body
The ability to keep up with my children
A long, happy life

I stopped and read over what I’d written. Each item on my list was non-negotiable. Now that my list of wants was there in black and white, staring me in the face, I couldn’t crumple it up. I couldn’t toss it in the trash and say “not for me”, and head home to my couch and a few mindless hours of television, to end my day.

So after work, I headed over to the Body for the Ages Health Center instead…
