Think and Grow Fit-an easy to read summary
Think and Grow Fit --
A Rational Person's Guide to Getting Fit and Staying that Way Forever
Chapter 1
What if your new diet, exercise, and supplement routine actually worked? What if you could start to see changes? Would you actually stay with it, always optimistic of where it might take you?
People today are often called Health Nuts for thinking, feeling and acting this way. Their critics are the Normal Majority who are too sensible to to be concerned with things that only a high schooler (so they feel) would take seriously.
Do think of yourself as a health conscious person instead of a health nut. Don't go near those who make you feel one down for being this way.
_____________________________________________________
Chapter 2
What if you are afraid to start really taking care of yourself physically? What if you think you may be too old? How about too out of shape? Or worse, what if you think your friends will stop thinking that you are worthy of their respect?
Most of us today do not do anything major without first consulting with our MD. But, what does he or she really think about our desire to be 20 years younger as well as meeting all of the standards of normal healthiness?
Do take modern medicine seriously. Don't let it keep you from being all that you can be.
_____________________________________________________
Chapter 3
If being fit is being youthful, do you have the courage to turn back the clock? Or, are you more content with growing old gracefully, many times called acting your age?
Most of us are taught from early on that we begin to die the day after we are born. That makes us co-operate with nature when we start to slow down. Hardly anyone ever says anything about growing new cells or increasing in physical ability.
Do refuse to age right on schedule. Don't think that being your age is your only option.
______________________________________________________
Chapter 4
What is the USA like when it comes to fitness? What are you like? Do you believe that being in great physical condition is only for people under the age of thirty (just shy of thirty-something?)
Most people believe that the lucky people hit their athletic peak in high school or early college, if they participate in atletics at all. Then they become fat or fall apart soon after they are done competing (hang it up.)
Do act like a high school athlete by working out, supplementing and eating right. Don't ever stop.
_______________________________________________________
Chapter 5
Why are we so concerned about turning over a new leaf, starting with resolutions the first of the year? Shouldn't we care more about following through on what we started?
Health clubs go through increased enrollments right after New Year's Day. The owners generally find that they return almost to where they started by mid-February. Turning to an intelligent use of performance enhancers along with a resolve to stay with it will correct this problem entirely.
Do get some green tea capsules or something like them to go along with your low fat low carb diet and well thought through workout routine. Don't think that a return to your morning 32 oz of Caribou with syrup, red meat, potato chips and relaxation is better for you in the long run just because evryone else is doing it.
______________________________________________________
Chapter 6
Is your husaband, wife or best friend on your side when you talk about a health conscious life-style? Or, are they hoping that you will soon outgrow your high school-like interest?
We all need people to support us in what we do, especially when it's hard to do it. Often times those closest to us are really against these aspirations, whatever they may say.
Do get your spouse or best friend wholly on board with your plans. Don't expect much of yourself until you've been successful in this area.
_____________________________________________________
Chapter 7
Have you heard of Jack Lalanne? Did your mother watch him during the sixties? Have you Googled him recently?
Jack is ninety-five. He is an extra-ordinary athlete for any age, still doing a two hour a day workout. His energy levels are spectacular which he attributes to juicing raw vegetables along with working out and eating right.
Do learn from Jack. Don't ever stop doing the things that he still does or think that he is spectacular only because of his genes.
_______________________________________________________
Chapter 8
Do you call yourself a health nut to make your friends like you? Do they call you a health nut in the hope of changing you back to the way that they still are?
Being a health cnscious person in the USA is something that invites jokes and ridicule. With the startling rise in obesity and the many other serious health conditions which can be avoided by being fit, this makes no sense whatsoever.
Do risk being called a health nut. Find others who are like minded so that the absurd criticisms from others are never powerful.
______________________________________________________
Chapter 9
What do you have for breakfast or when you go for a break at work? Would you give the same to your pet?
Jack Lalanee once said that we would never give Barney the beagle a bowl filled with coffee, a donut, a Big Mac and a cigarette. Yet we do this to ourselves.
Do treat yourself at least as well as you treat your pets. Don't be afraid to explore organic food stores and supplement shops.
______________________________________________________
Chapter 10
Are your old friends supportive of your health conscious lifestyle? Can you really be yourself around them without them making fun of you?
Dollar burgers, Mountain Dew, Big Macs are all apart of our American lifestyle. Everyone is expected to like these and share in the fun of enjoying them with others.
Do find a support group if you cannot leave your old friends with their mediocre demands. Don't let your life-long friends shorten your life.
_____________________________________________________
Chapter 11
Do you just want to be OK, or is this not good enough for you? What are your health aspirations?
So much of American healthiness is being disease free, neither obese nor anorexic and chemical free, and passing the check up tests. For many of us this is not enough.
Do decide to be all that you can be athletically-- as fit as you would like. Don't settle for easy answers or quick cures when you really want far more.
____________________________________________________
Chapter 12
Do believe in physical trasformations without surgery? Do think that good fashioned hardwork will ever make them come about?
Consistent hard work and discipline not only cause good things to happen but even become enjoyable over time.
Do stick at your new routine. Don't stop doing it any more than you would ever stop brushing your teeth.
___________________________________________________
Chapter 13
Are all of your friends convinced that taking it easy is the essence of the American good life? Are any of them energetic enough to join you at a health club?
Rest and relaxation are seen by most to be a cure-all for every discomfort. It's also proof that we as a nation are better off than others elsewhere.
Do dare to be different in the interests of maximizing your healthiness. Don't confuse your American identity with a sedentary lifestyle filled with big drug-company cure-alls.
_________________________________________________
Chapter 14
Do you believe in weight training or is this only for high schoolers?
Weight training along with cardiovascular activities such as cycling have been shown to positively alter cell structure in as little as six months regardless of age.
Do pump iron even you are 70. Don't neglect these activities just to keep your children happy or fit into the ideal grandparent pictures of your favorite magazines.
__________________________________________________
Chapter 15
Do you believe that the greater part of your fitness is under your control? Or do you think there is nothing that you can do to affect positive change in your body?
Every adult is expected to act his or her age and grow old gracefully, which means becoming more passive by the year. But another possibility is to work at getting oneself on cruise control every morning.
Do learn how to stride through your life whatever your age. Don't be afraid of cruising all day at 70 mph in a car designed to do 120.
___________________________________________________
Chapter 16
Do you know how much you can handle when it comes to exercise, food or supplemets? Is this the same as what you are doing? Are you the one who is setting the parameters?
By perusing the internet, reading and thinking, we can all devise a healthy life style which will do the things we want. The trial and error method with a daily log and weeekend reflection will get us all comfortable with what we should be doing for ourselves.
Do think for yourself when it comes to your optimal healthiness. Don't forget that you are the one who makes the final decisions with regard to your fitness destiny.
_________________________________________________
Chapter 17
How much reading do you do about health and fitness? With all of the information on the internet and in the health food stores, do you read any of it? To which periodicals do you subscribe?
One of the most common assertions when it comes to heath is I didn't know. That can be in regard to diets, supplements and workout routines as opposed to self-defeating habits which lead to obesity, stroke and heart disease.
Do educate yourself. Don't rely only on your doctor or the TV commercials for the large drug manufacturers.
_________________________________________________
Chapter 18
Do you still have the time and courage to be brutally honest with yourself, knowing that you may find out some things that you will need to keep private?
People do not do the things that they should because of deep resitances to do so. Most often these are unpleasant and humiliating, though later they become easily understandable.
Do understand why you do not do the things you should. Don't turn up the radio to keep from confronting your deepest motives.
______________________________________________
Chapter 19
Do you believe in prolonging your life by acting your age? Does this mean starting to cut back and slow down soon after high school?
Jack Lalanee has irrefutably proven that the body gets better with continued work and discpline. More are joining his ranks today.
Do better today at diet supplementation and working out than you you did yeterday. Don't give it up for the normal American life of ease.
______________________________________________
Chapter 20
Are you motivated to never miss a workout or overdo your eating for the first ninety days? Do you have a plan for continuing beyond the difficult days when that seems impossible?
Proper diet supplementation and exercise take time to work. But they do give rise to enegertic feelings, increased healthiness, and greater vibrancy if continued over a long enough period of time. After a two year period they become easy, and in fact, fun.
Do resolve to make it past the ninetieth day. Don't ever stop any more than you would ever stop brushing your teeth.
______________________________________________
Chapter 21
Do you idolize the people on the Extreme Makeover show? Would you like to be one of the participants?
Liposuction, plastic surgey and bone adjustment do require surgical procedures. Some of us can afford them. But, continual training and daily adjustments of attitudes are needed to maintain the gain.
Do strive to live like a champion never losing sight of what you want to achieve. Don't give up your dreams because they sound impossible to you and all of your friends and family.
______________________________________________
Chapter 22
Are you ready to start? What will it take to get everything more important in the background?
Half-hearted effort only asks for injury and failure. One must decide to go for the gold today and never turn back. Everyone knows this but few actually do it.
Do get going now. Don't stop for anyone ... not even yourself.
