I know, I know, a Shocking title. But you won't read this unless I write it this way.
Too often people tell me that want to lose weight, so they get on the treadmill for two hours a day and other long-time non-effective strategies.
Muscle is sexy, and Marathoners don't have any. They look skinny, but flabby and UNsexy:
Whose Body would YOU rather have?
In my book "Half Assed Health", I talk about doing sprints instead, but people want to fight with me over it all the time. Well, maybe they won't fight with the research:
"One group performed four to six 30-second "sprints" while the other group did cardio for 30 to 60 minutes. The results were nothing short of amazing. Despite exercising for a fraction of the time, those in the sprint category burned more than twice as much body fat." Here's where the article lives- On HUFFINGTON POST where a fan of my book sent it to me.
Sometimes Older people ask for good strength exercises, here's one:
For the Shoulders:
I AM AMAZED AT HOW WELL THIS WORKS; YOU'LL SEE!! (read all of it)
Begin by standing on a comfortable surface, where you have plenty of room on each side.
With a 5-lb potato bag in each hand, extend your arms straight out from your sides. Hold them there as long as you can. Try to reach a full minute, and then relax.
Each day you'll find that you can hold this position for just a bit longer.
After a couple of weeks, move up to 10-lb potato bags.
Then try 50-lb potato bags, and then eventually, try to get to where you can lift a 100-lb potato bag in each hand and hold your arms straight for more than a full minute. (I'm at this level.)
After you feel confident at that level, put a potato in each bag.
I don't know how many times I have to talk about this, but just about everyone who tells me that they're trying to "Lose weight" go on and on about how long they run for... 20 minutes, 30 minutes, an hour.. 2 HOURS A DAY on the treadmill.
This is exactly the WRONG thing to do.
If you want to lose weight for real, then you can't do something that your body can get used to. It has to burn fat not just when you're doing the exercise, but also when you're resting.
Since no one listens to me, maybe by reading this article, they'll actually get the results they want.
The Video that makes every "Health Book" obsolete... 23 and 1/2 hours: What is the single best thing we can do for our health? - YouTube: If you want to know the ACTUAL one hing that would be a miracle drug if it were in a pill, this is the video that will let you know what that ONE thing is.
However, if you want to LOOK GOOD NAKED, then I'm sure you know that reading and following a copy of Half-Assed Health will get you looking sexy WITHOUT Starving, Suffering, or Surgery!
Martin Luther King Jr. Had a Dream... and I had one too- about your butt.
Hopefully, you had the same dream: it was tight, taught, and shapely. This at home butt workout will be similar to the Hurricane Sandy Workout I posted a while ago, but this one is to be done on Martin Luther King Jr. Day- January 21st.
Get To The Mountaintop, bitches.
This Martin Luther King Jr. Day At-Home Workout will be tough, but doable; tiring, but fun.
I also write about habits like walking, and taking the stairs 2 at a time instead of taking an escalator- there is even an elevator AT THE GYM!
"Faith is taking the first step, even when you can't see the whole staircase"
See? Even MLK thinks you should take the stairs!
The Martin Luther King Jr. Day At-Home Workout
It's the usual At-Home Workout that I posted before- 10 circuits of 10 crunches, 10 push-ups, 10 squats, and 5 pull-ups. That'll come to 100 of each, and 50 Pull-ups- plenty to engage all of your muscles, and work your heart.

What is the Perfect Breakfast?
Ok, so I know that many people are on the go, and they just want something to eat before they have to be wherever they're going, and if it does the job then great.
But I also know that many people have coffee because they want an energy boost to start the day, so they can start making money at whatever they're doing.
Well what if you could eat something that were quick, easy, and gave you that boost that also prevents you from being hungry for hours, was easy to digest, and was actually HEALTHY for you?
The video gives you my recipe for the Perfect Breakfast, and it has everything you need in a meal to get you going- AND provides you with the servings of Fruits and Vegetables you need in the day!
Perfect Breakfast Recipe:
1-2 Cups of Orange Juice
Optional: 3 Frozen Strawberries, small handful of Frozen Blueberries, or any other frozen fruit you'd like to add for taste or variety.
Blend together and drink it down!
Play with your own recipes, but know that the Banana, the BIOTRUST PROTEIN and the SCOOP OF SEXY make the Perfect Breakfast ingredients so that you can go and be Half-Assed Healthy!
Here's why- The energy you get from the sugars in the fruits are longer-lasting than the carbs you'll get from a bagel, and the bagel will eventually put a ring around your belly. Not good naked. The Scoop Of Sexy powder will help to detox and rid your body of the build-up of other foods and non-digestibles because of all of the super-greens in it. The protein is high-quality, and will burn longer, staving off hunger.
