program that works! Hey! I made 10.5 mph today despite the gym's best efforts to counter my progress! Too bad they didn't read May 2001 Muscle Media's "Fire Up!" featured article by David Kennedy under Fire-Up Strategy 2 page 113, Listen to Fast-Paced Music where if Oshawa's gym's management had bothered "to look beyond the confines of convention" would have found "a whole 'nother realm of energetic aids..." "the most potent of these unconventional energizing "supplements," according to recent research is music."
"Listening to faster-paced music during exercise results in accomplishment of more work without proportional changes in heart rate," says Dr. Szabo, Department of Life Sciences at England's Nottingham Trent University. This study was published September 2000 in the Journal of Sports Medicine and Physical Fitness.
(Note: July 4, 2001 - In all fairness to NRG, Liz the GM went out today and bought a 5-Disc CD Changer. Now NRG plays "thee most kick-ass, upbeat, high-energy music I've ever heard in any gym! Pure fire!")
Later, as I ran "To the Max Cardio Solution" (June 2001 Muscle Media, page 70) at the Courtice Secondary School outside track (a track I hadn't been on in almost 30 years) - a Carnival had been set up for the Victoria Day Week-end and Oshawa's new 94.9 Energy FM was poundin' out some great energy music. But, it wasn't the same stuff they were feedin' NRG or my car ' cause I checked. I guess "energy" is just reserved for cash events and is the new marketing buzz-word these days... Someday, maybe my good ol' hometown - Courtice, will get a High Energy Gym, one like the kind Bill Phillips would promote! Then I wouldn't have to listen to an Oshawa Station at an Oshawa gym.
Day 84! Sunday May 20/01 - My Body-for-LIFE Guest Book entry: Do ya feel the feelin'? Absolutely incredible! Absolutely wonderful! The fireworks are goin' off all over the place for our Victoria Day Week-end, but to me - they're celebrating my many personal victories right along with me :-) And hey - "ABS!" I trusted and believed! And today - for the first time in my entire life - I have ABS! It's a bloomin' miracle! Thank-you Bill Phillips! I knew your program would work! Mine aren't the best abs in the world, but hey - they're mine, and they're showin'! God, I love this program! I have my photo shoot Wednesday, so I got 2 bonus days to go - Day's 85 and 86! For all you BFLer's start welcoming those high points with a smile - every one of 'em are worth it! Incredible!
To Patrick Beatty who asked if 10 cups of water daily are needed: 10 cups of water are a minimum requirement, especially if you are going to take Betagen and Phosphagen HP. They contain Creatine Monohydrate which some say actually dehydrates the cells of your muscles (and your muscles are about 80% water). The secondary result of dehydrated cells (IF PLENTY OF WATER IS AVAILABLE FOR THEM TO USE) is for the cells to absorb as much water as they can - and both these EAS products are wonderful in helping you prime your energy ATP stores as well as help your recovery in building lean, hard muscle. Do not trust non-EAS sources for your Creatine Monohydrate. And check out any nutritional supplement's vital info on the Nutritional Supplements link found on Porter Freeman's page on Eric Shrieves' finallyfit.net website. Water is the greatest equalizer of your entire system. If you're going on an intense program, drink plenty of it - at least 10 cups! Follow Bill's advice to the letter! You'll be absolutely amazed! And yes, water in Iced Tea also counts :-) |
