I know - you think I'm CRAZY! You're right! Crazy to be PHABULOUS. And if you want to be, you can too. So, what kind of exercise? The kind that keeps burning calories while you sleep! What's that you say? Burn calories while you sleep? You're high! NO! I'm not! And what is this miracle exercise?
Well... it's not "an" exercise. It is SEVERAL. Anything that builds muscle! Crunches, squats, pushups. But here's the secret. Don't do big routines - do one exercise till exhaustion. Fatigue yourself. Then, if you need to take a shower. Go to bed. Let your body rest - build muscle and burn calories and fat! Trust me, you'll be phit sooner than you think!
And, for you married type couples, there is a GREAT exercise that you can do before going to sleep too. :-D And guys, one particular variant is a killer ab workout that makes my abs burn every time.

Instant Motivation
Would you like instant motivation to get fit? Want to have fear struck into your heart? Need that last jolt to get over the hump and take care of yourself? Go grocery shopping at Wal-Mart.
Oh STOP. Here's my point before you go all PC on me. When I went in to pick up a few items - healthy items mind you, frozen mixed fruit for my smoothie, stevia for my coffee (yes, my vice) and my green tea - I just could not believe the general state of the people that were grocery shopping. Don't misunderstand me, these people weren't a few pounds overweight. They were fat. Obese. Multiple spare tires. And what was in their grocery carts? Junk. Processed snacks, high density no nutrition carbs, loaded with saturated fat meat products. And that wasn't the worst of it. You're probably saying, what could be worse?
Their KIDS. All miniature versions of the parents. It was like watching the adult Michelin Man with a kid version coming down the aisle. And it was SAD! Pathetic even. These parents were not only dooming themselves to half existence's because of their poor choices - they were dooming their children!
So, why is that instant motivation for me? Here's why.
See those four girls? My behavior impacts their lives. My eating habits impact how healthy they will be. My choices determine if they will or won't have an active, loving involved parent - or some sack of spare parts that just exists on the couch.
So, go to Wal-Mart. See what your future might look like. See what the future of your children might look like. That should give you some *instant* motivation.
Note: This post does not imply that the people I saw shopping are "bad". It does say that for 98.5% of them they have made horribly BAD choices regarding their diet. They may be caring, loving and concerned people who contribute to their communities and their work places- BUT - regardless they are killing themselves, condemning themselves to shadows of the existence they could live due to their eating habits. My hope is that they also start to notice that Wal-Mart has a great produce section and is expanding their line of organic products and that they'll help themselves and their children by making better choices in the future.
