I was going to title this email “The ONE secret all successful people share”.

But upon some quick thought, and on the spur of the moment thinking, I figured this was better.

You’ll see why in a minute, but some of these things may be obvious. They should be, actually!

Some, maybe not so much….

But anyway, one thing all high achievers in any sphere of life have in common is this.

They ALL Make time for fitness in their daily schedule, and if you look at what they do, it’s generally all bodyweight stuff.

Brings to me Teddy Roosevelt who reportedly did the “ab roller” while in office.

He’d often drop down and stretch out and crank out a set on it – and let me tell you, done right, that ain’t an easy exercise, and can be a workout unto itself.

I teach the “arms extended pushup”, of course, which is far tougher, and hits your shoulders, lats and CORE like few other exercises will (and grip too if done right).

But the other thing is, ALL of them (and I could name TONS of people – both modern day and “in the past”) do is QUICK workouts.

And again, bodyweight.

Brings to mind Ben Settle, another modern day success who I recently read followed a version of my own “mini workout” routines while cranking out his writing (not because he’s been following me, but he just did it. All high achievers think .. alike!).

The other thing? One amongst many?

Is that virtually ALL of them go for long WALKS, and the reason isn’tn ecessarily so much fitness (it is, but it ain’t the main reason by far) as it is ideation.

Could be Napoleon Hill going on his famed daily 10 mile walks. Or Ford, Edison and Burbanks taking yearly getaways together in the woods where all they did was WALK, walk, and WALK!

Long walks, and short workouts. Thats the ticket!

It really is, my friend. Could be yours truly slogging up that hill for hours on end as well … thos elong walks, I’ll always remember ‘em!

But really.

We’re full of IDEAS all the time.

Ideas that are just waitin to burst out.

And one reason why successful people do bodyweight stuff (or many, actually) isnt the “what” of the exercises, or the fact they’re bodyweight exercises.

They do ‘em because of SPEED, efficency, SIMPLICITY … and convenience!

All of which are VERY important for busy people – and successful people are usually BUSY.

And no, the average Bozo screaming “I’m busy! How DARE you interrupt me” when the next person tries to get him or her out of bed at 4 PM (the entire day was spent either on Facebook, or yakking away on the dumbphone, or watching dumb ass Korean soap operas and claiming “thats how life works”) doesnt count as busy.

Thats the least busiest person, actually.

REAL busy people are those that are either successful or really going to town int hat regard.

When you see a person in either one of those categories you’ll find more things in common.

They all have a penchant to GET HER DONE.

They rarely if ever spend much time on the boob tube, You Tube etc.

They READ A lot.

They are voracious learners.

They RARELY if ever indulge in idle gossip, chatter, talk about “where Mary’s dog pooped last week”, and other such inane nonsense (to be honest, that sort of thing IRRITATES me so much – I Cannot even begin to tell ya!).

And so forth.

And bodyweight exercises get the job done – FAST.

Check one.

They’re efficient and simple. Take for example pushups … or even the exact one I metioned up there.

Check two.

They lend themselves great to bursts of ideas, and inspiration.

Check three, especially for us writers …

And convenience. I dont think I need to go there?

So there you have it, my friend.

You can diss this as a direct sell for my stuff, but it ain’t.

I dont even sell the ab wheel or several other gadgets I consider useful such as doorway chinning bars and dont have any plans to do so, at least not in the immediate future.

After that, who knows …

But for now, there it is.

Take it or leave it.

But it’s true! And you’d do well to pick up a tip or two me thinks …

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

PS – Pushups are one of the, if not THE best exercise you can do for yourself along with pull-ups. Quickest workouts ever, and yet they’ll blast your entire body. Take a gander at Pushup Central, and invest in the course – you’ll never regret it ! (and won’t be able to find a course on pushups better than it either, hehe.).
