As you begin your personal, individualized fitness program, you will discover that the very first major challenge you will face is called, ‘getting off your dead rear’.  I realized that may sound a bit over the top amusing, but I do not think I can overemphasize the fundamental truth of that statement!  Just getting off your dead rear is the first step to health!  If we can just get up out of our easy chairs and walk to the door, drive to the gym, or just get out and run – a major part of the challenge has been completely won for the day!  Of course a true lifestyle change does not at all entail just working out.  A we will discover together, it also consists of diet and supplementation.  But even diet and supplementation activities require the same thing – that we get off our dead rear throughout the day and go do the things that are necessary to keep us healthy and vital well into our later years.  What we each do today guarantees another day down the road.  If we can just somehow get up out of our chairs and go do the right thing, we guarantee the extent and the quality of all of our tomorrows.  So, let’s get off our rears and go get it done!  Right now – today!
