One of these fine days I’ll tackle liposuction as a treatment for what you want most out of life. Yes; what you really, really want… is to lose that bulging belly. Fat. Abdominal protuberances. Debilitating excess weight that puts extraordinary strains on knees and ankles; and heart. Oh! for the easy answers.  If you are in the giddy, higher atmosphere of the Hollywood elites, puerile politicians, and monstrously monied Unternehmer, you can take whatever the spa throws at you. Whatever.

But us poor, everyday, average Joes and Jos have to find the better way. If you are ready mentally and physically (remember the sage advice to check with the doc to get the green light) then let us begin. If you are not ready you need no advice on how to procrastinate the day of repentance.

“Routine” that’s about the same as “Habit” isn’t it? So what you really, really want… is “Commitment.” You will need to start by exercising your brain. Think and be thin?  Well you need to plan if there is to be a routine. Prioritize your time and set the stage for your dramatic transformation.  Focus on the need for regular periods of persistent exercise. Fix in your mind the idea that consistency will be rewarded.

When you have decide to start the routine you will need to prep those pecs and assuage those abs. For the best results you need to warm up. Get that cardio coming. If you have the time jog about 2 miles. If you have a treadmill step up. Start with the easiest setting and increase speed for the last half minute or so.

I recommend that you use a gym where there is an instructor to show you the right technique. You may want to make an all out assault on multiple muscles. Or on different days you may focus on specific muscle groupings or regions. And remember too that you should do your ab workout on alternate days  so about 3 days a week.
