You Get Out What You Put In
July 29, 2010
There’s a lady I know that would like to shed some excess body fat. She started lifting weights, but from what I can tell she lifts in a manner that requires minimal exertion. She doesn’t control her eating. She doesn’t seek help. She puts in very little in her effort to slim down. She began her workout routine several months ago. Since she started, there’s been no discernible weight loss (...)
Muscle Mags
May 25, 2010
A quick note about muscle magazines in general and some muscle-building oriented websites — they are primarily vehicles for supplement advertisement and sales.

Therefore, when it comes to physical exercise, let’s take Nike’s advice and just do it! Darryl
1st Fundamental of Success
April 15, 2010
I’m reading a book called, “The Success Principles”, by Jack Canfield. He’s the guy that wrote the “Chicken Soup for the Soul” book series. In his book, he lays out those principles that are necessary for success.
