‘Twas the ETERNAL battle at the dining table the other day.

… what battle you ask?

… Well, the battle between my wife – – and my beloved daughter who along with her many, many GOOD habits – – seems to have picked up a few BAD ones as well.

One of them being dumbphone addiction, but that’s a global problem, affecting kids everywhere.

The other, and more PERPLEXING issue is during mealtimes.

No matter how tasty the food is (and by her own admission, and by MINE – – my wife’s cooking abilities likely FAR, FAR surpass that you’ll see at most five star hotels – – and I am NOT kidding!) … it’s a battle to get her to chow down.

This is a problem that hasn’t affected other kids her age, who seem to eat everything in front of them with gay abandon as kids should … and have massive bellies, saggy asses, and are OBESE, plain and simple … as kids really should NOT be!

But it brings me to a point I’ve often made.

Kids these days exercise – – and MOVE about way less than they should. I’ve often said the T.V is the main culprit, and it IS – – but the dumbphone is even worse.

Anyway, I heard my wife tell my daughter the other day during one of these battles “When I was a kid, I used to be known as a bird!”

“Why”, asked my daughter in a sage maner.

“Because I’d flit from point A to point B, always moving about – -never sitting around!”, she replied.

“And when it was time to EAT … boy oh boy, I’d not only gobble EVERYTHING on my plate – – but I’d snack healthily between meals … and”, here she paused, reminiscing, “I’d often even steal food off my grandpa’s plate when eating with him!”

My daughter giggled, and the conversation went on, but again, upon hearing of this, it got me to thinking.

While my upbringing was unfortunately (in a physical sense) NOWHERE near as “free” as my wife (again, physically – – I was always told to ‘sit down and be quiet and read’) .. it was nowhere near what kids these days experience.

(NB – Reading is fantastic, and is probably a reason I’m writing books today, but believe me, kids need more than just mental stimulation as do adults!)

Kids these days move about SO less that the natural hungry feeling that most kids have is suppressed – -and that’s not good, my friend.

And when they do eat – – what they eat turns into lumps of LARD – – at the tender age of five even I’ve seen…

My, my my. A battle to eat? For us, even myself, it was always a battle to NOT eat! Hehe …

Then again, we weren’t raised in the dumbphone generation.

And while I didn’t have a good example to follow in terms of fitness when growing up (as I’ve mentioned before), my wife did – – and the results are apparent and there for all to see, and that brings me to my last, and most important point.

Setting a good example for your kids is PARAMOUNT.

If you flop down in front of the tube after a heavy meal, belching and farting (and believe me, that isn’t so far removed from the norm as you may think!) – – guess what the kids will pick up on.

If you, on the other hand go for a long walk after a meal, and pick up a book immediately upon your return, or do something constructive – – well – – again – – guess who and what your kids would “ape”.

The 0 Excuses Fitness System, for one is packed with exercises that kids ENJOY – – and that gets adults and kids alike into the best shape of their lives – – you just have to DO it – – and set the right example!

Sadly, in addition to the dumbphone menace out there, most adults do a piss poor job at that.

And while it aint my place to “convince”, it DOES behoove me to tell you my daughter enjoyed pushups from a very young age – six months or earlier!

I’d often get her on the monkey bars when young – – and she’d often do situps on the dipping bars.

She’d often fall into a bridge as a game – -something that will give most adults the workout of their lives …

And the reason she did this was NOT because I forced her – or my wife did – or because we even brought it up.

It’s because she learned – – by example – – and if there is ONE good example you can set for your kids today – it is this – crack open the 0 Excuses Fitness System – – and get cranking on the workouts right there and then in front of them!

Chances are they’ll join you – and be HOOKED – for the rest of their lives – -and at that point, my friend, you’ve not only made a meaningful impact upon your own life – – but the future generation as well!!

And that’s the “lesson” for today. I’m off – – I’ll be back soon!

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

P.S. – Here is where you can grab the best fitness system there is out there – the 0 Excuses Fitness System – – right here – – https://0excusesfitness.com/0excusesfitnessystem/

P.S #2 – And if your S.O. (or you) is a GREAT cook – and you’re worried about gaining weight (and let’s face it, we ALL are at times) – – well – – remember that this worry is baseless so long as you’re on the Eat More – Weigh Less routines. Grab your copy – – proof included – – right here!

While the biceps and shoulders are the first thing that come to most trainees minds when we talk about ARM training – – a very important part is often overlooked.

A part of the arm that literally makes up more than 75% of the arm – – that being the TRICEP muscle.

You know, the muscle at the back of the arm that really gives the arms it’s strength – – and size!

That all important muscle which helps in pushing – – and just about any daily activity – – as well as (and this will SHOCK most of you readers) in pull-ups, that exercise which ALL men want to do, but pitifully few can.

That muscle which tuns to mush the quickest with inactivity … a.k.a. “bingo wings” (that ugly looking flabby part of your arm that “shakes” when you wave goodbye to someone for instance – – IF you’re overweight and unfit!).

Other hand, look at any really fit man – or REALLY strong man (and I mean real strong men – – such as the old timers) – – and you’ll notice modest yet well shaped biceps – – but massive, yet well shaped horseshoe like triceps … literally a mass of muscle behind the arm which gives the arm both its shape and size – – and also it’s STRENGTH!

As Percy Longhurst, old time English commentary legend once noted about the Great Gama from India, who did THOUSANDS of pushups and squats daily as part of his training regimen (and went undefeated in over 50 years, by the way!),

To watch him doing the dipping exercise was a revelation. There was power put into every movement, up and down…It was easy to understand, watching the regular rise and fall of the smooth brown body, the bending and straightening of the rounded limbs, to what extend not only the arms and the shoulders, but the muscles of the chest, abdomen, back and loins participated in the vigorous execution.

One could understand how Gama had acquired the enormous bulk of solid flesh at the back of his upper arms; whence came the wonderful size of the muscles around the shoulders and the base of the neck. Smooth, solid muscle; muscle in bulk; yet again I must repeat that when Gama “set” for example, his arm, his fist clenched, that acute outlining of the individual muscles on which the enthusiastic physical culturist is wont to pride himself, the ‘steel bands’ and ‘hard knots’, beloved of the lady fiction writer, were conspicuous by their absence. All one was saw was a rounded swelling, a smooth prominence here and there.

But there was strength, an abundance of it, in those smooth and supple limbs. Anyone who saw Gama overcome Dr B.F.Roller could be sure of that.”

And if Gama had this look about him … well, I have THIS to say my friend – – while the headline of this email says “steel bands” – – REAL STRENGTH does NOT – I repeat – DOES NOT – come from muscles being tense and “showy” – – read “fake and counterfeit modern day bodybuilder muscles”!

Real strength comes from muscles that are relaxed – – and look relaxed – – and can spring into action as and when required – – such as the Gama’s!

Or perhaps Bruce Lee. Or perhaps Mike Tyson – – or maybe even Michael Phelps. You get the picture, my friend – – none of them have the “boobybuilder” look, and yet, the strength in them muscles – – no doubting that, is there??!

On another note, doing pushups is a great great way to build up the most important muscles in NOT just your arm, but also those over your entire upper body – – but no, despite what you’re thinking, I’m not “pimping” my Pushup Central course here – – not as yet anyway, hehe.

There are plenty of ways to skin a cat, and tonight before dinner my daughter was pushing furiously against a wall.

“Push harder ,honey!” I exhorted her, and so she did, and a minute or so later, she came back – flopped down on the chair – – and took a sip of jasmine “blooming flower” tea!

“This wrestler needs rest!” she pronounced.

And what did she mean?

Well, Kiddie Fitness will make that very very abundantly clear – but for now – – let me just say this – – one of the tool the Gama used to develop his nigh prodigious strength was isometrics – – and as for the how’s , why’s and wherefore’s – – well – – be on the outlook for the course on ISOMETRICS.

That is course #2 “in the offing” after Kiddie Fitness, which by the way is DONE as of now. If you’re a parent reading this – mark my WORDS, my friend – you’ll want to get your paws on this right here – –   https://0excusesfitness.com/kiddie-fitness/

And that, my friend – -is the update for now. I’ll be back soon!

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

P.S #2 – And again, don’t forget to claim your copy of Kiddie Fitness. Those of you wish a 10% discount on the table will GET it – please just be a bit patient in terms of the refunds as yours truly will have to manually process each of them as opposed to the system doing it ..

Was at it last night until 230 hammering out Kiddie Fitness, and doing a few posts for my other email lists.

Finally got to bed around 4’sih last night (believe me – – when you’re in BEAST mode in terms of writing, your brain refuses to switch off on occasion even after you TELL it to!) … and this morning as I arose around 1130 in the A.M, the first thing I did was to sip some “hong cha” (black tea, or red tea, depending upon how you look at it, hehe) … and get down to some workouts.

I did a brief workout consisting of Hindu squats and STRETCHES (you Pushup Central fans KNOW the stretches I’m referring to! Hehe) – – and I was ready for my day once I got a buzzing … or so I thought.

I don’t know why, but I couldn’t get down to writing and my other projects like I normally do, in “door shut, NO-ONE ALLOWED to DISTURB me or ELSE mode …

And then I did something I normally NEVER do. I got on the dumbphone and social media – – which I’ve often said and still say is a complete waste of time … and got involved in a discussion … about the … yes, you guessed it, the COVID-19 virus.

A discussion that started off with China’s latest decision to apparently ban ALL foreigners from entering the mainland – and a discussion that morphed somehow into “Trump being racist” because he labeled it a Chinese virus … and other related issues.

Now, I normally as I said NEVER get into debates such as this – pretty much because it’s POINTLESS – – especially in the polarized world we live in these days. NO-ONE is willing to even listen to what the other person is saying – – and that is fine by me, hehe. I rarely get involved in politics, and read as little as I can about this darn virus – – and I’m doing pretty well as a result. Hehe.

Anyway, ‘twas a heated debate and just for the record – – is ole Donald “racist” for calling the virus a Chinese virus?

I think NOT, my friend. We call Chinese food Chinese, don’t we? Well then why on earth wouldn’t one refer to a virus that started in China – – and that the authorities did all they could to cover up (by their own admission) as Chinese?

Doesn’t sound racist to me – – sounds like a case of saying it like it.

Now, before you fine folks on my list start jumping up an down about Trump and politics in general – – let it be known that I do NOT particularly care about politicians – – anywhere in the world. All feather of the same bird as it were, and they all flock together at the end of the day, and that is all I’m going to say about it, but I do know one thing – – Trump is a man after my own heart not because of his politics – but his STYLE.

He does precisely what I advocate – – say it like it is – – WITHOUT feat. Freely saying it like it is – is a skill my friend – – and not being affected by what others think of you is an even greater skill. Master that, and you’ll not only become FAR more productive in your daily life than you ever have been – – but you’ll also learn that people will follow you to the ends of the planet to HEAR what you have to say – – even if they don’t necessarily agree with you on everything.

Why – – because you give to them STRAIGHT.

And that, my friend is as honest (brutally honest) as I can get. And that’s what you get from 0 Excuses Fitness – -and ALL our products too.

As recent testimonials for our products show – -they flat out WORK – – and do NOT give you the chances to make excuses – – or be molly coddled (the exact opposite, actually).

Some get ticked off and unsubscribe from my lists, and that is fine. I am NOT everyone’s cup of tea and neither do I want to be – and neither should YOU, my friend. Be real – Be YOU  – – and that, at the end of the day is what really counts!

I did up a post precisely on that a while ago, but I can’t be bothered to find the URL right now. It’s there in the annals of the blog though – – do a search, and you’ll find it!

Alrighty then, my friend – – that is THAT for now. I just warmed up my writing chops with these here 900 or so words – – and I’m BACK at it – – Kiddie Fitness, to be precise.

I’ll be back again soon!

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

P.S. – Given the virus spreading around the globe – – the CALM and RATIONAL amongst us would do VERY WELL to remember that this virus really only strikes those that have LOW immunity. The BEST and only (IMO) line of defense is robust health – and good immunity – – and home workouts deliver all that to you, my friend – – especially in these uncertain times of “lockdown”. And here is where you can find the VERY best there is in terms of home workouts – – https://0excusesfitness.com/0excusesfitnessystem/

P.S #2 – I spoke a bit about marketing and saying it like it is in the social media group I referred to. Funnily enough people responded by saying “No, that’s not how you market. It’s not about eyeballs! It’s about …”, ah, but I can’t quite control my chuckles here. Ill do up another post on that shortly – – stay tuned!

Dear Reader,

There are many things that separate the high achievers of this world from the “wannabes” or “has beens” – – the CREAM of the crop from the “herd” as it were – – the people that conquer all and get to the very pinnacle of their chosen profession or GOALS, and those that “meander along with the stream somewhere in between”.

Yada, nada, schnada. You get the point, I think, and after lack of persistence (for those in the latter category) another prime difference between ultimate success and lack thereof is this – folks caring too much about (and letting it affect them internally) what others “expect” them to do.

A most insidious means of sabotage this one is – – and virtually ALL of us have been subject to this at some point in our lives – -some more so than others.

Your truly fits in the “more so than others category” and for a large portion of my adult life, I did (hard as it might sound to believe at this point!) “sort of” care about what I was “expected to do” and did it … for a short while, at least, before my INNER MAN spoke up – – and naturally, when that inner man speaks – or ROARS – – you listen – -or at least I did!

Case in point being the numerous jobs I worked before going all out on my own. Truth is I NEVER wanted to work for someone else in the first place – – but the looks of astoundment accompanied with “You?? How on earth would someone like you amount to anything on your own?” held me a back for a long portion of my adult like – – before I finally said SCREW it – – and did what my heart (inner man) told me to do!

In “Outwitting the Devil”, Napoleon Hill mentions several instances from his OWN life when he was working for others (again, on the insistence of family and so called other well wishers) – – and in EACH one of those jobs – – despite the seeming outward successes – he ended up either leaving the job – – or the company folded – – or something to that effect.

It didn’t last, in other words.

In the bestselling Pyscho Cybernetics Dr Maltz makes a very pertinent point indeed – – and likes our success levels to a rubber band which is held in place firmly by none other than our subconscious mind.

If the subconscious truly believes that you can attain a level of success, but NOT beyond it – – then guess what – – you’ll attain that level of success – – and you may briefly rise above it – – but the rubber band will snap back to wherever the subconscious “thinks” you belong.

This is a truism that cannot be argued against my friend. If you subconsciously hate something – – and don’t want to do it – – then you may be “made to do it” for a while – – but it ain’t gonna last.

And funnily enough, these tales struck closer to home for me than you’d think. I made a seeming success out of many of my jobs (none more so than the job I refer to in the 10 Commandments of Successful Sales) – – and could probably have made a “career” out of any of those jobs – – which is exactly what everyone around me “expected” me to do, of course, and repeatedly pressurized me to do, and yet, what happened?

I think we all know – – and funnily enough, people seem to forget the great truism that is often mentioned in self help books and manuals alike – -that being – – TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF FIRST!

And what I am telling you is this – more than just “taking care of yourself first” – I’d say listen to yourself first.

Way too many people, for instance, start a fitness program but end up trying to accomplish goals set by others.

For instance, I would wager a bet than a lot of guys don’t necessarily crave big guns as much as they SECRETLY crave the lean and mean look, and yet – – due to public pressure and perception – – guess who they end up trying to emulate – – and what they end up ACHIEVING.

Someone starting a new venture, for instance, may start off full of enthusiasm  — which quickly falls by the wayside as the repeated admonishments and cries of “You’ll never make it” ring out louder than anything else in his or her ears, and pretty soon that person is back to square one – – or worse.

Tell the world what you’re going to do – – but show them FIRST – – and I just had to mention that here!

Do what YOU want, my friend – both in terms of life – and goals – and FITNESS as well. Stop getting suckered into and DERAILED by the “but you’re expected to follow so and so road” B.S.

And if doing what YOU want isn’t what others “expect”, well, goody – you’re probably on the RIGHT track.

Sure, blazing your own trail takes GUTS and I’d be lying to tell you that its “easy” or that the path is without pitfalls.

As soon as I decided to do my own thing all those years ago (and indeed even TODAY when I embark upon a new venture) – – it was as if the entire world was conspiring against me to “pull  me back into the fold and stop me reaching for the stars” (much like that solitary crab that manages to climb out of the bucket of crabs as the others stay IN).

I was called an idiot – a loser – a lunatic – and several things unprintable – – and still am – but guess what – – I have something that these so called other “successes” don’t – – that is HAPPINESS – FREEDOM – – and PEACE OF MIND knowing I’m doing what I love to do – – and will continue to do so!

Fitness wise, I’ve often been told I overexercise (huh??) – – and this by people that have never once attained any degree of fitness in their own lives!

I’ve been told my methods are ridiculous, and downright asinine (by folks who say that pumping 5 kg dumbbells for 15 minutes on each hand will make muscles sprout – – and those that claim long, slow walks are what it’s about when it comes to fitness).

And yet – the results – can we argue with the results?

I think NOT, my friend – – and that is what happens when you do what YOU want – the way YOU want – WITHOUT listening to the chorus of “bays” from the “herd” out there.

It may not always be easy. It may not always be the path of least resistance, and certainly probably not the path most traveled – and so forth.

But is it worth it??

Oh YES my friend – – and you’ll see what I mean when YOU embark upon it too!

So that’s today’s message. Do what YOU want – – and NEVER get pulled into asinine guilt trips of “doing what you’re expected to do” – – it is nothing but a recipe for failure and that too on a grand scale!

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

P.S. – In terms of fitness, the great part about the 0 Excuses Fitness System is that it matters NOT what YOUR goal is. Build muscle? Lose fat? Six pack? Better health and a robust immune system? Interspatial travel? And so forth. We’ve got you covered (ok, not the last one!)- – so fret NOT – – and click on over right here to grab your copy of the System – – https://0excusesfitness.com/0excusesfitnessystem/

P.S #2 – I was actually advised by another supposedly well meaning family member to “seek counseling” with regard to what I mentioned about jobs before. HA! The subconscious mind always brings to reality what is IN it … and most of the times the opinions of the VERY same people that advocate counseling or other such methods with regard to you doing what you really want aren’t worth the bandwidth we’re spending discussing it here. Trust me on that one!

P.P.S – Oh, and by the way – remember that Kiddie Fitness is well and truly ON its way, my friend. If your kids are going batshit (NO PUNS INTENDED!!) insane during the enforced, extended “holiday” most of you are likely being subject to – well – get them started ASAP on these routines, and boredom will be a thing of the past. Contact me now for pre-orders and I’ll hook you up with a 10% off “special offer”!

As I walked into the bedroom to ask my daughter what she was saying a short while ago (when I was working – – so I asked her to WAIT – – yes, “Cranky Papa” and his writing where he is NOT to be disturbed, no matter what, hehe…), she asked me the following.

“Dad, when you will finish the book?”

This was the EXACT same question she asked me in the morning when she woke up, and she’s asking me this now while on the dumbphone. Must mean something to her!

“Honey, not as yet. I’m halfway through it …”

“Oh Dad, can I read it?”

“Not now, sweetie. Once I finish”

“Oh, but Dad … “

“Sweetie, I haven’t even put the pictures in as yet!”

“OH!” and it was as if a light bulb went off.

“OK, you do that first Dad! A book without pictures is SO BORING!” she went.

“And now Dad .. let me finish catching the robbers. So many of them …”  and off she was, immersed in the dumbphone again, hehe.

A book without pictures, and especially an exercise book without pictures? Not my cup of tea, and if there is one thing I AM particular upon – – it’s taking PICTURES for my exercise books – – and RETAKING them galore – – not necessarily because they “look good” or don’t – but to SHOW users HOW to do the exercise!

A picture is worth a thousand words, and MORE so when it comes to fitness, and certain types of exercises – – and a video – – well – – lets just say we’re amping the “YES!” factor by about a DOZEN on top of the thousand.

And five videos … well, that’s why I created the 0 Excuses Fitness System with not just a book and pictures (two books actually) – – but VIDEOS as well!

But wait a minute, you ask. Whats this latest book my daughter is on about??

Well, if you haven’t been following me, here is what happened late last night – – a cranky little girl miraculously got transformed into a HAPPY camper – – almost within the space of a few seconds as she dropped down to the floor to do a mini-workout with me – – and on “top of me” as well, as you can see from my social media posts!

Kids are nothing but NOT enthusiastic about exercise – – IF we set the right example. I could have easily done what most people would have at that advanced hour (‘twas almost midnight, hehe) – – but I did NOT – – and the results SHOW.

We sat up until last night fleshing this latest idea out, and yes, it was a “we” this time – not just “me”.

While I got the idea to do Kiddie Fitness – – it was most wholeheartedly endorsed by the “model” in the book – – my six year old – – and some of the exercises are HERS, hehe. Probably not patented as yet, but I will see to it that they are … nah, j ust kidding, but you get my drift!

We took a BARRAGE of pictures this morning – – some of which have to be re-done – – and they will be.

If you’re a parent – – or sports coach – – or a P.E. teacher at school – – or even a gym instructor for kids and adults both – – or simply involved with kids in any way – – then this course will be one you will NOT want to miss, my friend, as it contains exercises SPECIFICALLY tailored towards kids – – some of it stuff I have NEVER, EVER come out with before.

Keep your eyes peeled – it promises to be great – – and in the meantime – – do NOT forget to workout yourself – – by using the very best exercise system there is on the planet – the 0 Excuses Fitness System!

Ill see you on the “other side”, hehe.

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

P.S. – YES, Kiddie Fitness is BEING hammered out as I type – – should be out for sale within the next couple of days. Parents – you’ll DEFINITELY want to get this! And all of you folks on my list – if you want a special on this – email me NOW, and I’ll see to it that you’re hooked up.

P.S #2 – Also, and while you’re at it – – those of you that are frustrated about not being able to lose weight during the Coronavirus lockdowns – – well – – take HEART. There is HOPE – – more than it, in fact – find out more here – – https://0excusesfitness.com/eatmore-weighless/

Dear Reader,

At around 10 P.M. or so tonight, after a full day of WRITING and creating MORE products – – something strange happened – at least for the average person, hehe.

While most people would have “dropped down into the couch” after a full day and then some with a half bot or TWO of something – – I did the opposite.

I dropped down into (what is for ME) an INCREDIBLY relaxing position – that being the “table” position I teach about in 0 Excuses Fitness and Pushup Central, but I didn’t do a pushup.

I simply held the position – breathed – and RELAXED into the movement. As I did so, my six year old daughter – – no longer a “spring chicken” in terms of weight as she was at ONE years of age, hehe – came and jumped smack on me – and stayed PUT for a good minute or so!

Although I was momentarily alarmed, I need not have worried – I was more than able to handle the extra 23 kgs or so.

Now, for those of you wondering what the big deal is – – I’ll tell ya.

Get down on the ground in a table position – – with your back FLAT –  and weight on your arms and legs (legs at a 90 degree angle to the body) and NECK BACK – as you look skywards.

And simply hold.

For the vast majority of you adults out there, you’ll be doing good just to  hold the position for more than a second or so when you start. Believe me, if you’re overweight around the stomach and hips – or core in general – your lower back will start shaking sooner than you expect, and you’ll collapse in a heap shortly thereafter.

And if you’re fit – or think you are – try and bang out PUSHUPS from that position – and then report back!

And if you’re me – – you put your daughter on your midsection for added weight as you hold the position, hehe.

Great “mini workout”, and another reason I’m bringing this to you is that this is yet another example of getting it DONE – – even when you’re “super busy”.

Even when you’re in lockdown. Isn’t it far better to workout – and involve the entire family – rather than sit and moan and groan about what politician are doing globally – – and contribute to all the fear mongering?

Most of all, isn’t it great that you’re SETTING A GOOD example – – doing your bit to end childhood obesity for GOOD – and being a GOOD ROLE model for your kids when it comes to FITNESS, the most important thing of them all?

Your body truly is your TEMPLE, my friend. Far more too many people do anything BUT treat it as such (and before you start jumping, no I do NOT believe in God – – I’m an atheist, but the point STANDS) … bad mistake, my friend.

Set a good example – – and make sure to get them mini workouts in – – they’re well worth it! In fact truth be told although it wasn’t a sweat fest – – that one minute got the heart pumping a bit – – and got me to write this post – and probably more after that.

THAT is the effect exercise done right has – – increased productivity for one – – and I don’t know about YOU – – but I’ll take that anyday or night, hehe.

All for now – back at it!

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

P.S. – Be on the outlook for the new product I mentioned shortly. Kiddie fitness truly WILL be something all you parents will want to invest in – – and yes, if you want a bit of a discount (10% to be specific) email me now and Ill sign you up for a pre-order of sorts.

P.S #2 – Oh, and in the meantime, don’t forget to grab the 0 Excuses Fitness System right here – – truly the best fitness system you can follow – -especially when on lockdown, hehe – – https://0excusesfitness.com/0excusesfitnessystem/

Many years ago, back when I was a computer science student (and not a very diligent one, hehe) back in school, I had a professor during my senior years known as Dr. Ray Seyfarth.

He taught a course that I believe I damn near flunked – “artificial intelligence”.

Actually, I DID flunk for all practical purposes. The University required a grade of C or above for the course to count towards your GPA, and while I didn’t get an “F” – – I got a D, which meant I had to retake the course.

That darn course postponed by graduation by a semester, and luckily the next prof I had Dr. Ali was benevolent enough to pass me with a “C”, hehe. Perhaps he just got tired of seeing the long haired “Jesus” (back as my cohorts liked to call me, hehe) sitting in class, half asleep. Who knows!

Anyway, the reason I mention this is NOT my own tardiness.

It’s because this guy had a RAMROD straight posture and a demeanor that SET HIM APART in many ways from his colleagues (the other profs).

While most of the other profs had massive bellies and were usually slouched over (with the notable exception of one Dr. Kolibal who I’ve mentioned before as well) – – this man looked like he was straight out of the military, minus the build.

He was slim and wiry, but he was STRONG too. Tall, slim and wiry – – and what struck me, in my lard ass’ian days  (yes, at the age of 19 yours truly had turned into a bonafide lardass!) – – is the manner in which he walked briskly to and fro work, and class, for one.

Ramrod straight upper back, chest out, shoulders BACK … much like my buddy in the military (former military man and an ex Marine) once exhorted me to do when “times were tough”.

“Chest out, shoulders BACK, my brother!”

And while I’ve done a post on that as well, the point is this – proper posture can do more for you than make you look smart ,PROFESSIONAL and IMPRESSIVE.

It can improve your health. It can REDUCE, or downright eliminate back and shoulder pain. It can help with digestion if done right.

And done right, combined with deep breathing it can literally be a workout unto itself.

That might sound strange to y’all, but what will sound even stranger is that proper posture does not just apply when you’re standing or moving.

It applies when you’re SITTING.

It applies when you are sitting and WORKING – as I am now – or visualizing.

I haven’t even had my workout today (though I will later) – – but I feel full of PEP, energy and vigor – -and though I have a bit of a headache due to a LOT OF time spent indoors and at the computer, I’m still banging out products like never before.

And part of this is my upright stance when sitting.

Chest out, shoulders back – feet FLAT on the floor – – and that my friend is a very valuable and SIMPLE tip indeed that those of you sitting for long hours (think office workers for one) NEED TO – without exception – implement in your own life.

Do so regularly, and I’ll bet that a lot of the LARD around your lower back and waist starts to “slip away”.

Combine it with regular workouts – and you’ll leave others behind in the dust as you progress!

Quite literally – just do it – and you’ll see!

And that’s that for now. Back to my product now!

Dear Reader,

So, I’ve been busy pretty much all morning ever since I arose from a deep, dream filled slumber around 11:30 AM or so.

Bright and early as you can tell, and yet another proof behind the FACT that you don’t necessarily need to do it “any one way” to succeed!

Some do it by waking up early. Some late. Some lose weight by pounding the pavement and cooking their internal organs in the process.

Others do it by … but hey, I’m at risk of “losing the plot” yet again, hehe.

What can I say – – I’m a writer! So much to say, so little TIME and PAPER in which to do it, seemingly …

Anyway, as we sat around the lunch table, my daughter was it as usual – NOT eating – and on the dumbphone, which she’s seemingly been on for ages – ever since she herself woke up at 11 that is (thank you, COVID-19 lockdowns – NOT!).

“No more phone, Barb”, I admonished gently. “It’s  been hours. Do some reading … or some coloring, or painting, or whatever…”

“Can I draw”, she replied.

“Of course you can! Finish your lunch quickly, and then go draw for an hour or two” I replied. “It’s good for you, sweetie!”

“Two hours …” she mused, crinkling her nose in that cute manner kids have …

“Dad, how about one”, she riposted shortly thereafter. “Can I do it for one hour? Two is, uh … too long…”

Not when she’s watching videos on YouTube apparently, but I let that slide!

“Do it for one hour first, honey, and then take it from there”.

And as I type here, I’m pretty sure (in fact, I AM sure) she’s sitting there in HER room hammering out a drawing (if drawings can be “hammered out”, that is – I ain’t no artist, so I don’t know that one!).

But here is the reason I’m mentioning this seemingly insignificant occurrence.

It’s because we as adults need to LEARN from this – – and on a daily basis, at that, a lot of us.

It’s because we as adults, again, most of us need a daily dose of “Eat a bear – but one bite at a time!”

Folks have often queried, jaws gape, as to how I get SO MUCH writing done for 0 Excuses Fitness – – but their jaws would literally drop and detach and fall to the floor if they knew I had ANOTHER VENTURE – – which involves about 10 times the “work” (if I might call it that – – it sure don’t feel that way to me!) in terms of writing and putting out products.

And when I’m in the flow – – even my (ex) publishers from that venture would agree that I truly become an UNSTOPPABLE force of nature – – something that most people can only marvel at in terms of output.

Same thing for fitness – – climbing hills – – pushups – – or whatever, and I say this NOT to blow my own bugle, my friend – but to tell you that amazing as it might sound – – YOU TOO can do it – – and surpass me if you so choose!

And the keys are simple. One of course is being in the flow and writing from the heart (alone a book unto itself, since most people CANNOT grasp this concept easily) – -and two, and perhaps more importantly, breaking a task down into small bites.

I’ve got a product to put out this afternoon, and I’ll start with the easiest part. Then I’ll move to the toughest part. Then the part in between.

And voila – – within an hour or two that product will be READY – and SELLING LIVE. Sure, it doesn’t involve pictures etc or it would take longer, but you get the point, my friend.

In terms of fitness, way, way too many people look at the “big” picture first and get disheartened and this isn’t hard to understand, especially when a lard ass that hasn’t done pushups in years looks at the numbers I mention regularly.

Well, how about just 15 minutes, my friend – and that includes getting used to the workout?

How about 10 – or -8 – or even FIVE? Surely we all have five minutes, no?

How about TWO minutes? YES, you CAN get mini workouts in in two minutes as well.

The point isn’t that I’m advocating workouts that last just two minutes. The point is this – you start small, and build from there.

You BUILD momentum as you go along, and that bear gets eaten – bite by bite!

And that, my friend is ONE key to success that you really must emblazon in your mind – or print out, and look at DAILY.

Look at it daily multiple times, and the word “procrastination”- – both in terms of FITNESS – and LIFE – will be nigh GONE from your vocabulary – – and you’ll be destined for one thing and one thing alone – – success – – at whatever goal you set for yourself!

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

P.S. – Oh, and by the way you’re confused about the whole “15 minute” or “5 minute” thing – – well – – do me a favor, and TIME the workout video in the System – – and THEN get back to me, hehe. But do NOT skip straight to the videos without watching the other instructional videos FIRST, my friend. Tackle that grizzly – – one step at a time – – and START NOW by investing in the System – right here – – https://0excusesfitness.com/pushup-central/

P.S #2 – By the way I’ve got a new product planned already – – FITNESS related, don’t worry. Hehe. Two, actually. And the FIRST one of this is a book tailored towards kids – especially applicable these days since the COVID-19 shutdowns have started accelerating GLOBALLY. Kids are getting FAT as it is – mine isnt – but the point is we need to fight THIS epidemic as a whole – it’s far more serious than the COVID-19 outbreak IMO – – and the best way to fight BOTH is EXERCISE, as I’ve said many times before.

Without further ado, stay TUNED for a product on KIDS FITNESS – AT HOME – and if you’re interested – notify me – I’ll make sure to give you a 10% discount off the offer price if you email me NOW and place a pre-order!

P.P.S. – Look for this product to be out shortly – within a week or so perhaps – followed by MORE products. YEEEAHH!

Today’s email may come across as a bit of a shocker – – or even “astounding” to some of that you have been following me – – and if so, well, I understand.

But … hold on to your horses there for a minute, and let me explain first.

When I say “plans are usually perfect”, and (as I’ve said in the past) “it will all happen at the right time”, I do NOT mean that we as human beings are infallible.

Far from it, my friend.

Take any success story over the year, and you’ll see a long, long list of FAILURES – crowning failures if I might say so, before the SUCCESS was achieved.

It may be Edison with his 10000 plus tries to design the lightbulb, or it may be Jack Ma, who famously still says “I learnt way more from my failures than my ultimate success”.

It could be Henry Ford, who was bankrupt twice, and who was nigh ridiculed at for trying to build a motor car in the age that he attempted to do so.

It could be anyone you know. Could be me as well when I first got into writing books and starting an online business – – believe me, most of the comments I received (this from friends and supposed well wishers and family) were NOT complimentary to say the least.

This is why I always say its best to keep your plans to yourself.

As Napoleon Hill famously said, “Tell the world what you’re going to do, but SHOW them first!”

And in terms of imperfection in plans, I’m not talking about the small plans – that we seemingly make.

I am talking about the GRAND plan that the Universe has in store for us – – based upon our TRUE desires – – what we really, really want deep down at our core!

This plan often (and usually does) include failures of a grandstanding and catastrophic nature, but what a lot of folks don’t get it is that those failures are but a stepping stone to your ultimate success!

The Universe lets NO-ONE enjoy great accomplishment of ANY sort without first paying your dues in full – duplicate and triplicate as it were! That “hidden guide” I’ve referred to so often takes great pleasure in tripping you up when you’re finally at the door of success (or so you think) – – and does so over and over again – – until it’s convinced you can take whatever it throws at ya – – and more!

Then, and only THEN do the floodgates open, and you receive whatever it is you TRULY DESIRE.

Fitness is NOT an exception to this rule either.

Let’s break this down a bit. At the age of 19, I was unfit – way more so than I should have been at that age.

At the age of 23, I was in the best shape of my life … or so I THOUGHT. (this was after I was introduced to the hill).

At the age of 26, I was in even better shape. Subway stair sprints, and the like …

At the age of 30 it started to go downhill – – and while I kept working out, I ended up turning into a lard ass.

Following on from that – I got into the very best shape of my life at the ge of 36 – – an age where most people “sigh and give up”. And I’m still going strong – and hope – nay, KNOW – I will until the day I “am no more here in the flesh”, hehe, if I might put it that way.

Now, some may ask – – what if you achieved the success then that you are enjoying now? (and I’m talking purely fitness, again).

I’d say it would be great, but it wouldn’t taste as sweet. Not only that – – I would NOT have the knowledge I do NOW – – and therefore probably would NOT be at the fitness levels I am NOT if it weren’t for all the “imperfect plans”, my friend.

The GRAND plan is always perfect – – provided you really KNOW WHAT IT IS you REALLY WANT – – and there is a reason Napoleon Hill devotes an entire preface to this at the start of “Think and Grow Rich”.

I’ll finish off today’s “here” email, hehe, with another quote from the same author – – from “Outwitting the Devil” – –

I would not wish to be again subjected to the experiences through which I passed during that fateful Christmas Eve in 1923, and since, on that eventful evening when I walked around the school house in West Virginia and fought that terrible battle with fear, but all the wealth in the world would not induce me to divest myself of the knowledge I have gained from those experiences.

Ponder that for a while with regard to what is being said HERE – – and let me know your thoughts!

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

I don’t know what it is these days, but I’ve pretty much stopped “talking” to the vast majority of folks these days (except those on my list, my customers, family and so forth).

The world, for whatever reason is becoming more and more “polarized” (which is NOT a good thing globally) – – “isolated” (again, a BAD thing) – – and (worst of all, to me) – – logical thinking seems to have all but stopped.

While the signs were nigh years ago (folks laughed at me at that time when I mentioned all this. HA!), the recent COVID-19 going around is basically the “straw that broke the camel’s back” in terms of all this.

Half the people I know on social media are complaining that Republicans are the ones that can get the virus under control. Some are parroting Donald Trump’s initial line about “it being a hoax perpetuated by liberals”. Or something to that effect.

The Dems seem to be whinging about the fact that the “aid package” the government offered wasn’t run by THEM first before introducing it (if it’s been formally introduced to Congress as yet, that is). As if that would have helped anything. HA!

With regard to the rest of the world, you have one half claiming that the virus is literally “nothing to worry about” – – and the other half acting as if they’ve all already been struck down by lightning.

And as lockdowns due to the #covid19 accelerate globally (and as China still hasn’t returned to normalcy fully – not all parts of the country, at any rate) – it got me thinking.

Rather than these extended lockdowns – and “social distancing” (and don’t get me wrong, all of those are precautionary measures we should be taking … but rather than all of THIS – wouldn’t we (as a “globe”) be better off focusing on HEALTH – and FITNESS more than anything else?

This virus and indeed most others only really hit those with weak immune systems – social distancing or not – and the majority of people that contract it – newsflash – ACTUALLY – recover!

I’m not saying that governments around the globe are overreacting – but what I AM saying is this – there are better things to focus upon to stop the spread of the virus (and NOT be affected by it if you come in contact with an infected person – that being HEALTH AND FITNESS).

We keep hearing about “stimulus” packages – – and governments (China is one prime example) “pumping money into the system” to keep things going.

Sometimes that can be a good thing in some regards, but in the vast majority of cases guess what happens – inflation with a capital I when “non-existent” cash is pumped into an already strained financial system.

Then we have the global panic going on – and people stocking up (and fighting over) things as asinine as “toilet paper”. I recently saw a video of two (corpulent, I must say) ladies literally fighting tooth and nail over a 12 pack of toilet paper – – much like happens on Black Friday etc – – I kid you NOT!

And last, and not least – this mask nonsense. I’ve seen pets here wearing masks … and what truly astounds me is that the masks I see most people wearing aren’t even the N95’s that (may) stop you from contracting the disease.

They’re the regular surgical masks which the CDC and pretty much EVERY doctor out there – – and medical organization  – – have very clearly said are a “last resort measure”, if even that. And even the N95’s as far as I know haven’t really been approved for extended use as they’re being used now.

Amidst all this panic buying, “social distancing”, “global shutdown” and so forth – I truly believe we’re FORGETTING to focus on the one thing that is most important – EXERCISE.

Sure, staying at home may reduce your chances of getting the virus – – but judging by what I am seeing and hearing from most people, it does ZILCH in terms of reducing your chances of contracting other health related issue – obesity related issues, for one.

Not to mention falling ill from other issues, as people stay home, NOT moving – – and shoving unhealthy food down their gullet (all the while making excuse about “well, we’re stuck for now”) …

So again, the question begets – are we really focusing on the right thing?

I’ve spoken before about focusing on what you WANT – – not what you don’t – – and the vast majority of folks out there seem hell bent on the latter rather than the former!

Instead of constantly focusing on the virus which seems to have headlined just about every news outlet out there – would we NOT be better off focusing on things like WALKNG, for instance – – which is the best tonic you can provide for your immune system – and not to mention overall health, strength and fitness levels?

Or DEEP BREATHING, for one.  As Farmer Burns famously once said, deep breathing alone made many a sick man weak, and many a weak man strong!

Or, pushups. Do a 100 pushups a day religiously for a year, and chances are you won’t contract ANY sort of virus – – or flu – – or whatever it is for the ENTIRETY of the year – – and no, that is NOT an over-exaggeration whatsoever!!

Again, no, I’m not “criticizing” government responses to this – and I’m not saying it’s not serious. And I’m not even getting into the “whys and wherefores” and (as one reader recently emailed me saying) “airy fairy stuff about the Universe and it’s laws” (no, it’s NOT “airy fairy” – – its actually as scientific as anything else you’ve read, but all good for now!).

What I AM saying is this -we’re focusing on the WRONG things as a GLOBE.

The first thing we SHOULD think of, and hear about upon waking up is our OWN health and fitness levels – -and that, my friend, is today’s message.

Do so – and ignore the “noise outside”- and I guarantee you that you’ll be far, far better off for it!

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee
