Getting a lean and muscular body:
Getting a lean and muscular body requires two things:
1) You must be willing to work hard 2) You must be patient The problem with 'many' people is that they shy away from anything that appears to be hard work. They're always looking for short cuts. As soon as they see something that promises results "quickly," "easily," "effortlessly," "while they sleep," "without exercise," and so on, they whip out their wallets and take the bait, hook, line and sinker. Shortcuts always fail! Take a shortcut and you're going to get lost, fall into a deep hole, or smack into a brick wall! Everything worth having in life has a price attached to it - EVERYTHING! If you want a lean and muscular body, you must be willing to pay the price for a lean and muscular body. STOP looking for easy ways. Just pay the price and it's yours - and it's yours for life, because you didn't depend on the crutch of a short-term gimmick. |

I agree with your post.....
....however, I find that sometimes things you enjoy don't seem like hard work...for example 1) LC dieting, 2) weight training, and 3) bicycling don't seem like hard work to me at all. Sticking to them consistently over a long period is probably harder. JIMO.

Getting a lean and muscular body:
Roger,
I 'agree' with your post too. ) I find 'most' things enjoyable..........however..... I love walking 'almost' every single day. When it is in the 90's and humid as it is here most normally with NY summers, it does take "attitude". LOL. I try to get outside by 6am or sooner during those times. There are times when in the winter it is 30 below for a period of time and I use the treadmill that it 'becomes' hard as in boring. I have a tv and an mp3 player that does help. Those are the times I have to as some say here "BUTCH UP". I'm glad that you find most things enjoyable and not hard, Susie who needs to get use to her bike again. OUCH!

Getting a lean and muscular body:
Hey, Susie -- I want to let you know that I too often find me telling myself
to "BUTCH THE HELL UP". I have to put that "THE HELL" in there because it ****es me off that I need to tell myself that, but that's life. I wish I could say I did it right all the time or that I was 100% "on" all the time. But I have my limitations, too. So all I can do is live them with and keep pushing. On Saturday, after having rode 25 miles on the bike (I fell 3 times, too!), I had a break down (I was planning 50 miles ). So there I was 11 miles away from home, with no one to come fetch me. Luckily, it was still before 9 am as I started my walk home with the bike in tow. That reminded me that walking is a great exercise, even when all you've got to keep you company is your own boring mind and the bugs (and an occasional dog or three that sees you as sport). The humidity was talking to me, too! That's one of the things I don't like about living in the south. I long for my LA/Redondo Beach days during the summers here.

Hey Roger,
I can swear too........um.........well............a little. ) You fell three times? Yes, the walking exercise is good too. Do you think I should get you a cell phone to put in a little pouch to carry with you? Nah, then you wouldn't get the extra walking in. Sounds like an experience. I'd like to get into biking more. It seems that starting over ever summer after being off it for the LONG winter my butt sure gives me problems. I might look into getting a new seat. Have a nice day, Susie PS. don't ya just hate it that I'm a top poster. LOL. Hey, Susie -- I want to let you know that I too often find me telling myself to "BUTCH THE HELL UP".

Getting a lean and muscular body:
1) LC dieting, 2) weight training, and 3) bicycling Roger, I find this to be an outstanding combination. My legs have always been pretty strong, but bicycling has really made them ripped. Lifting is helping my upper body regain the muscle I have lost, and LC seems to work very well for development of muscle and losing the pounds. I do run now and again and swim as well, but your top three is what I focus on quite a bit. Curt |

Getting a lean and muscular body:
Hi Roger,
Clip-Clipless........I don't have a clue. I never been too much of a biker but would like to get into it more. That is neat that you got a ride back home. I don't know what kind of seat I have. Just a normal cheap bike with a seat. I'm sorta little and not much um fat on my butt. It will get the ole butt bones. I guess women have a tendency to rock back in forth. We don't mean to. ) Smart guy not to let newsgroups get to you. Susie Yep....with clipless if you don't unclip when coming to a stop you fall over. hehe...I had a cell phone in my little pouch. I had no one to call. Turn out, I didn't walk the entire 11 miles, just 4. A nice old couple pasted me -- apparently the man is a cyclist, so when I told him I thought I had 9 more miles to walk (it was really only 7, but I mis-calculated) he when home, got his other car with the bike rack installed, and gave me a ride.
