I’ll never forget what my career counselor once told me in college.

(if only the poor lady knew, hehe. She was cute though, I’ll say that! ;)).

“Thats why you’re so SLIM!” she exclaimed.

“Huh”, I asked. I was looking in a bored manner at a CV that I had been “forced” to brush up (or I wouldn’t get credits for some class or something – routine stuff really).

She pointed at my legs.

“Thats why” , she said. “You just keep moving so much!”

And I got it.

A bad habit I had WAY back in the day – one of those “tics” as it were, was fidgeting. Which Is till have to an extent, but nowhere NEAR as bad.

Now it;s more conscious fidgeting than anyting else.

Another tic I had was “involuntarily” raising my right eyebrow up.

Nah, Iwasn’t trying to be the Rock, hehe.

But really – the point begets.

All that fidgeting I did, moving my legs around rapidly in a maniacal manner CONSTANTLY – probably DID burn some calories.

Along with the lengthy walks back and from class with loaded bookbags – and regular climbs up stairs to my dorm (yours truly never took the non existent elevator in “Bond Hall”, hehe – truly was the hood in many ways!) …. and regular swims, I wasn’t muscular or anything, but I wasn’t fat at all.

I was lean, and I dont know if I could do pushups and pull-ups back then, but like the football player told me, I probably could have!

Some of you will wonder what I ate.

Perhaps nothing fattening, you’d say …

Well, you’d be wrong. The campus cafeteria which I often avoided in favor of McDonalds (ugh!) had GREAT Southern style food, including but not limited to tons of fried chicken black eyed peas, lots of fried omelettes, bacon, everything pretty much.

Lots of bread. A crap load of butter. Just about everything you might need, so much so that some of my off campus friends would often borrow my card to go eat there, hehe.

And as a girl once did, she borrowed my card to go watch a football game “for free”.

Hehe. Apparently the guy checking ID’s didnt figure out she was a girl and the picture was that of a guy, or maybe he just didnt care. 😉

But anyway, back to weight. I ate like a pig, and the clothes still fell off me.

Of course, all of that very rapidly changed at the age of 19 when I moved in with my girlfriend.

Almost overnight, I grew a MASSIVE pot belly.

How?

Well, it wasn’t so much “no long walks”. The walk from my apartment to campus was pretty long!!

It was this though – no activity THROUGHOUT The day!

What I’d often to do to avoid the long walk back home between classes was to camp out in the library or other spots until all my classes were over, and Id then walk back home.

And THIS, my friend, regardless of the fidgeting that went on anyway was what really caused the weight gain (not to mention the fact that Bond Hall had five flights of stairs to climb – yours truly for some reason always got the top floor, hehe – and the apartment complex had a teeny weeny excuse of a first floor apartment) … and the fact that the swimming stopped.

No it wasn’t extra beer, hehe. I drank plenty of beer in Bond Hall too. Those were the days!

Anyway, the point (again) begets.

Move around the entire day, my friend. Make activity an integral part of your life – and you’ll find it;s much, much easier to keep the weight OFF than automatically pile it on!

In other words, shakey shakey, hehe.

And thats all I got to say about that!

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

PS – I got this idea while writing the book on Isometrics, and this sort of thing is part of the “joint loosening” section. Stay tuned!
