Politically Incorrect Fitness Tip

. The Taoist way of exercise can be summarized in the following manner: 'Any exercise that does not have internal focus is INCOMPLETE.'

What does this mean? It means the same dern thing that old-time strongmen like George Jowett, George Hackenschmidt, Eugen Sandow and others told their audiences decades ago.

To quote Jowett from 'Unrevealed Secrets of Man' - the ebook I released on Saturday, 'You must concentrate. Under the terrific influence of mental vibration you can actually watch your muscles grow. Concentration is the true secret to acquisition of the Magnificent form.'

By concentration Jowett does not mean focusing on the exercise itself, although that is imporant. What he means is concentration on the 'muscles' being used. That is the key.

See your muscles as growing, and they will. See them as getting stronger, and they will. Tell your muscles that they're getting more flexible - and guess what? They're friggin listening. And they will respond.

So, here this: If you're training with head phones on, take 'em off. If you watch tee-vee while riding and exercycle, turn it off. If you are yapping with friends while training - shut the hell up.

Concentrate, my friend. That is the key to the whole ballgame.

And that is today's politically incorrect tip of the day.

Kick ass - take names.
