Читать книгу Solitary Fitness - You Don't Need a Fancy Gym or Expensive Gear to be as Fit as Me - Charles Bronson - Страница 28

You’ve probably stood there debating whether the price of this book was worth it and toying with the idea of buying it. Well, now you have so you’ve either got to go through with it or you might as well just send some money to Zoë’s Place Baby Hospice in West Derby, Liverpool, England. Rest your lazy arse coz going to the bookshop was the most exercise you’re gonna get for a long while! You’ve probably got a bedroom with an exercise bike that’s being used as an extra clothes hanger with clothes on it that are too small for you because you’ve become fat and lazy. Well, now is the time to get your arse into gear, so come on!

If you’re convinced you can see it through then I promise to make a new you, a more confident you, a sharper-minded you and fill you with a new spring in your step. How many times have you promised yourself a new you? You’ve tried all them horrible liquid meals, you’ve been kicked out of diet clubs for breaking the scales and you’ve been kicked out of aerobics class coz you were starting to make dents in the new shiny wooden floor. Or maybe you haven’t got the confidence to join a gym, so now’s your chance to go it alone. This is gonna be your fitness Bible, the biggest thing in your life, as big as the rebirth of Jesus! But this book is not a floor show for you to ogle: it’s 40 years of a world of fitness, 30 years of perfection, even the diet will prove what I say. Believe in it, don’t doubt it, you have to have faith in yourself too.

I’ve spent some time in this chapter giving you the confidence to get it done and now I want you to apply some effort in getting up and finding a pen, coz you’re gonna need one in a minute … So, what are you waiting for? Go find one. For some of you, this next stage is gonna be the toughest thing you’ve ever done in your life, but if you can do what I’m going to ask then I can guarantee that the rest of what’s in this book will be like a stroll in the park. I’m going to tell you something that will amaze you. About 25 years ago, a project was carried out in America. A group of young men were put through their paces and brought to the peak of physical condition, and then they were told to do nothing in the line of fitness for the next 25 years. Time passed and they were all middle-aged when they got a knock on their doors. Each man was given a medical and they were as unfit as unfit could be! Once more, they were put on a gruelling exercise regime. Six months later they were tested for fitness and each and every man had attained the same fitness levels he had enjoyed 25 years earlier! Before going any further, I would ask you to get a full physical and a clean bill of health from your doctor. Once declared fit then you can push on. I don’t want you keeling over while following Solitary Fitness coz you’ll give it a bad name.

Below, you’ll find a declaration. This is your starting point, your first step to fitness beyond your wildest dreams. Have you ever been out of breath? Has the air you gulped for burned deep down into your lungs? Have you ever wished you could push out one more repetition? Well, all I’m asking you to do is sign a poxy declaration, so come on, and let’s get started! Anyway, you now have an aim, a target and a goal, so let’s go.
