    I love weight training, looking good, and feeling good. I had nose surgery and I gained weight. The medication from the surgery was really strong effected my training. My heart was effected from the surgery and I gained weight. Weight training after my surgery was too much pressure on my body so I could not do it. Food became a issue too. High impact exercise such as running was to extreme or too much pressure too. From my experience with stress I decided to write my book.

      INTRODUCTION

      After 9/11, I felt inspired to transition from my career as a registered insurance stockbroker in the financial industry to a personal trainer. I found myself in the gym during my free time that felt good. Working, trying to survive in the financial industry, and being in a serious relationship was overly stressing. Exercising was the most sensible solution for releasing my stress. Working out helped me overcome stress, instilled in me a feeling of calm and relaxation. Psychologically, it positively affected my confidence. Improving my body and building lean muscle gave me the power for a life changing transition into the fitness industry.

      The financial industry after 9/11 was rough, and as far as my transition went, the timing was wrong. Building my clientele was extremely difficult due to my age and experience. Plus, no one I knew was concerned with investing. They never spoke of extra money to invest and were always complaining about living week to week on their small paychecks. People who were not working at a company providing health insurance could not afford it or were spending and saving their money for other more important things. People were not interested in life insurance either or simply could not afford it. When discussing life insurance, people’s moods changed. The topic was a depressing one, especially given what this country had just endured. Responses were understandably negative. I finally concluded that being an insurance stockbroker representative did not have its original appeal.

      Working out was my favorite pastime activity. As a result, I became a personal trainer and through this experience learned that the heart muscle should be the most important focus in training. I worked as a personal trainer for seven years. Throughout that time, I accumulated up to 14,050 hours in training sessions with my clients. Creating new training programs for my clients was never an obstacle nor was it in my workouts. I realized our society faces a health crisis. The effects of stress are the greatest concern. Cardiovascular exercises, stretching, high repetition weight training, and eating less fatty foods all help your body stay healthy. Having a healthy body stimulates your mind, makes you feel good, and improves your self-confidence and ego. If you are not your biggest fan, you need to focus on being one. Improving or making your muscles stronger will help change your perception of yourself. Having a healthy body is important. That being said, I would like to share with you the research and secrets I have learned.

      My goal in writing this book is to motivate and inspire. I do believe I can make an enormous difference in more people’s lives through my research and experience. I intend to open your mind, push you into believing it really is that easy, simple, and tastes good too!

      CHAPTER 1

      What to Do Before You Start Working Out

      Before you start any exercise program, you should have a physical examination. Confirm you are healthy enough to work out to reduce the risk of seriously injuring yourself. Next on your to do list is to buy a heart rate monitor for safety. You can find a heart monitor online or at any sporting goods store. You should wear it during all of your workouts. This will allow you to monitor your own heart rate and learn about your body. You will be able to push yourself by reading the heart rate monitor. It will guide you as to when you need to stop or increase physical exertion. To progress in your workouts, know your maximum heart rate level and be aware of your resting heart rate. This device will monitor your body or workouts through reading the results of your heart rate. The last step before you get started is to check your attitude. One must have a good attitude before setting any goal. Without a good attitude you are definitely doomed to fail. Change your negative attitude. Continually be positive about the goals you set or have accomplished. Never put yourself down. Do not say, I should have or I could have or feel guilty about what you have done. Remaining positive is always looking to a new day, not focusing on the past events or what you have done. For example: if you ate three pieces of cheesecake with ice cream, don’t cry about it and tell everyone. Do not look for, want or need support and
