If you want to build muscle, lose fat, and look better naked without steroids, good genetics, or wasting ridiculous amounts of time in the gym and money on supplements...then you want to read this book.
With so much information out there telling you to try this diet, do this workout for epic fat loss - how could you not get confused. That’s why I took the time to make it super simple to get you on your weight loss journey.
This is not a silver bullet plan to get you lean and ripped in 2 weeks.

I will not recommend supplements to waste your money.
I will not guarantee you will lose weight quickly.
What I will do:

I will show you how to add accountability to that motivation
I will show you how to diet properly to keep your fat loss going
I will show you how to pick out the right gym for you
I will help you get started with a workout to further enhance your fat loss
And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

The book will supply all the details.

What Motivates You?
How come you can’t lose weight and get into the best shape of your life today? You have all the know-how from reading books and websites but still you fail.
Is it because your job is crazy stressful? Kids are taking up all your time? Do you have a disease or preexisting injury sidetracking you? Or you’re just beaten down from trying 100 different things only to fail each time so what’s the point? Wait, let me guess, you are waiting for the perfect moment when you have no other life stress?
Since you don’t have the optimal situation of ample time or genetics then why try, right?
I mean you are really good at watching TV.
The only thing you really need to succeed is motivation or if you saw Rocky - the eye of the tiger. What most people fail to realize is that motivation is a skill and can be cultivated over time. Some people are born with an abundance of motivation, the rest of us need to work on it.
We all have stumbling blocks whether it be kids, work, injuries or insert anything else that could be an excuse. The motivated people don’t use excuses, they work around and find ways to get where they want to go. If it is important to you, you’ll make time.
Motivation can make or break a goal. That is why I am going to devote my next two chapters to motivation. This chapter is a primer to see what some of the fitness experts use for motivation. Next chapter will go into finding your motivation and cultivating it.
Stop waiting for the perfect moment to hit you, you’ll be dead way before then.
Here are 5 fitness experts that were gracious enough to take the time out of their busy schedules to answer the question I asked of them...What motivates you?

Motivation
My kids. I want to be an active participant in their lives for as long as I can. On the field with them not just on the sidelines. I want to run my daughter down the aisle, not walk her!
My wife. The training keeps me energized so that during the limited free time we have together I can be 100% for her. Not
