gradually add minutes to it. Within two to three weeks, you’ll probably be up to a 45-minute workout that you can handle. This helps build up your confidence, and then the workout starts to become a lifestyle.
“And as you start to work out, don’t change your diet. See what happens to your body within two to three weeks of working out. You start losing inches, you start losing weight. Then you might say, ‘I want to take this or that out of my diet and see what happens.’ I try to help people figure a way that their personality can pick up a good workout and a good diet—one with real eating where they’re not walking around starving—that they can do for a lifetime. I don’t want to teach people about weight loss. If you want to lose weight, you have the power to do that. If you don’t want to lose weight, but just want to get stronger, you also have the power to do that.”
“I tell people that every day above ground is a blessed day for me. And being around people. I come and teach a class – people motivate me. You never know whose life you’re going to change and by changing somebody else’s life, it changes your life. It gives me a chance to look at myself.”
