5 Critical Keys to KILL
Your Cellulite
By Joey Atlas, M.X., Exe. Physiology - Women’s Body Enhancement Specialist
"Ask any woman on the street what
the definition of "cellulite" is and
you'll get a confused variety of
answers. From “toxic fat pockets
caught in the skin” to “bands of
fiber pulling down on the skin” and
many odd things in between…"
Cellulite Gone – Bikini On
The truth is: most people really don’t know what “cellulite” actually is, or, what causes
this odd appearance of the lower body trouble zones…"
This is no surprise as there actually is no such thing as ‘cellulite’… So how do we get rid
of something which doesn’t exist?"
Here’s the answer:
"The word, “cellulite”, was cleverly made-up several decades ago, in a European
beauty-spa, to DESCRIBE the bumpy, shadowy and dimpled appearance of skin in the
lower body trouble zones of the female body. (butt, hips, thighs, legs)"
The beauty spas then started cashing-in and profiting big-time by marketing "beauty"
services and products to get rid of "cellulite". And if you're like most women who've been
challenged by this issue, then you probably already know all of those passive and
superficial beauty treatments do not get rid of the dented shadows and mushy dimples
on your buns, legs and thighs."

In order to make your lower-body smooth, tight and attractive, there are 5 steps to
follow.
Here they are:
Key #1:
You cannot get rid of the dimples and shadows (cellulite) by rubbing an odd gel, weird
lotion or goopy cream on your trouble zones and problem spots.
So, stop using them – as some can actually make your cellulite worse.
Despite the fact that there are dozens of supposed ‘cellulite reduction creams’ on the
market, there is no possible way for any one of them, no matter how expensive, to get
rid of your cellulite. Cellulite is not a skin problem. Its an underlying structural issue, that
can only be corrected by reversing the cause of atrophied muscle fibers directly beneath
your “cellulite” trouble spots."
Since the squishy dimples and shadows are a superficial symptom of a problem below
the surface; it’s impossible for the creams, lotions or gels to have any physiological
impact on the cause of the issue…"
Key #2:
Risky and expensive ‘medi-spa treatments’ can only reduce your bank account – not
your cellulite problems. And there are many consumer reports about women being
seriously scarred or injured as well.
Stay away from these as the FDA reports show women who’ve been scarred or injured
for life.
Painful, dangerous and uncomfortable services ranging from endermologie to bodywrapping have been proven to be totally ineffective when it comes to treating cellulite.
However, advertising and marketing loopholes allow these services to be cleverly
marketed to desperate women who are at wits end with the unattractive dimples and
shadows on the lower-body problem areas."
Continued on next page...
Key #3:
The unattractive dimples, shadows and saggy ripples known as cellulite are not
‘genetic’ and you are NOT stuck with them forever if you have them.
Falsely believing this will prevent you from getting rid of your cellulite. So, don’t entertain
this nonsense for 1 second.
These two ridiculous myths are often passed around by ‘neighborhood know-it-alls’ –
and many women actually believe these 2 myths – especially if they haven’t found the
right way to get rid of the cellulite. Whats even more alarming are the number of doctors
who also believe in and foster these 2 demoralizing falsehoods.
Yes – it is common to see a mother and daughter, both with the lower-body "orange
peel" look, BUT this doesn't mean cellulite is genetic – it simply means both women
have not found a way to lift, tone and firm the muscle layers under the dimpled, saggy
skin."
Key #4:
You can get rid of cellulite, regardless of your age – or when you began to notice it."
Since cellulite is a structural issue (muscle) – it can be fixed with simple and unique
body movements which target the cellulite areas."
These types of moves can be followed by any woman, regardless of her age or fitness
level. And it doesn’t matter if the cellulite started in the early teen years – or after
pregnancy – or after menopause – it’s still a structural issue that results from soft, untoned muscles underneath the saggy, dimpled, shadowy skin."
Continued on next page...
Key #5:
The only proven way to permanently get rid of the dimples and shadows of cellulite is
through a series of simple, yet specifically targeted lower-body movements"
These unique movements focus on lifting, shaping and toning the muscle layers so they
gently push outward against the skin – to bring back the smooth, tight and sexy
appearance, while burning off any excess flab, if there is any."
This is how regular women reverse the cause of cellulite dimples and shadows… AND,
if there happens to be any excess fat in those zones – it will be burned off as fuel by the
muscles. This bonus of losing any unhealthy excess body-fat is nice because it reveals
a great body and it works wonders for your health profile."
BUT you won’t learn about these unique slow-tempo movements in the gym or your
local health club."
These body movements are NOT done with typical weights and machine type
exercises." "Most regular fitness instructors don’t even know about this type of targeted
cellulite-killing method. (click to watch video)"
These muscle-stimulating movements can be done right at home, in total privacy."
Continued on next page...
The female lower-body has over 90 muscles...
Picture those 90 muscles BENEATH your skin’s surface in your legs, butt, hips and
thigh zones. That’s where the magic happens in regards to true removal of mushy
dimples and saggy shadows in the trouble spots and problem areas…
Despite what most women have been led to believe, there is a critical difference
between a ‘general workout program’ – and a laser-focused, cellulite removal method.
The sweetest benefit of this is; you don’t need access to a health club or fitness center."
…"
Just click PLAY on this video by Joey Atlas, (M.S., Ex.Phys.) and get it started
now:" (it opens in a bigger screen so you don’t miss a thing)
These are simple, unique moves you can start doing today, right in the privacy of your
own home. And if you start this type of targeted muscle stimulation method today – you
will start feeling results within 2 weeks and seeing results within 3 to 4 weeks."

Bonus Tip - Key #6:
The Dimples, Ripples and Shadows of Cellulite Get Worse if They Are Not Taken Care
of Properly. And the worse it gets, the harder it is to reverse.
So, watch the video above to avoid further frustration, disgust and anger. It’s your body
so just do the right thing for it."

Lower Body That
Turns Heads and
Makes You Feel
Like a Stunningly
Sexy Woman
-------------------------Women’s Five Most Common Complaints
About Their Lower Bodies and How to Easily
Fix These Stubborn Problem Areas to Regain
Self Confidence, Sex Appeal and Strength
By Joey Atlas – M.S. Exercise Physiology
‘Chief Lower-Bodyologist’
Women Are ‘Never Satisfied’
Ask any woman if she is 100% happy with how her lower body looks and
feels and you'll be lucky if 5% of them say they are totally satisfied with the
look, size, shape and feel of their leg, butt, hip and thigh area.
From flat and saggy to big, lumpy and flabby - problem lower bodies come
in all shapes and sizes. As a matter of fact, in the course of a lifetime, a
woman may experience several versions of an unattractive and un-sexy
lower body.
Phases such as teen years, child bearing, middle age, pre-menopause,
menopause, post-menopause and into mature adulthood (the late stages of
aging) - all present different elements to challenge women of all ages and
genetic profiles.
Let's look at a few these a bit closer.
The Flat Buns, Stick Leg Syndrome This is categorized by a lack of curves and roundness in the glutes (gluteal
muscles), quadriceps and hamstrings - the muscles that make up most of the
butt and thighs. Flat butts can be wide and saggy or narrow and scrawny,
with other variations as well. The underlying similarity is that there is no
curvy profile from a side view. So, it is not uncommon to find women in
different weight ranges with flat butts and shapeless thighs.
Saddle Bags on the Hips and the Flabby Cellulite Butt Typically this type of butt is very mushy wish the dreaded 'orange peel'
dimples that we all know as cellulite and more painfully accentuated by fat
filled saddle bags. A woman does not have to be overweight to have this
type of problem - and this can be found in women of every age.
2
The Scrawny, 'Boy-like' Lower Body Influenced by genetics but accentuated and defined by lifestyle habits, the
straight and scrawny lower body is not as common as the rest, but still leaves
many females feeling like they've been shortchanged in the 'sexy'
department. Usually, these types of lower bodies are in a lower than average
weight range.
The Fat, Lumpy and Jiggly Lower Body Typical in overweight women, and probably the most common out of all the
'problem lower bodies' - the fat, lumpy and jiggly lower body is responsible
for it's fair share of avoided trips to the beach and unattended poolside bikini
parties. The self consciousness factor runs high in this one (though not to
discount it in the other categories) and often is the catalyst for many women
to become a victim of the yo-yo dieting circles.
Flabby Inner Thighs, Saggy Buttocks and Huge Legs This one is a mean combination of mirror frightening images and clothes
fitting nightmares. This is another lower body profile that does not
discriminate by age as women in all age ranges can be found with these
stubborn problem areas.
To say this list is conclusive would be outright unprofessional - as there are
countless women who would say they could be put into 2 or 3 of the groups
listed above. So, keep in mind that although I've outlined five types of
'problem lower bodies' - there are lower bodies that may combine some
elements from several of these groups. For example, after childbirth, it is not
uncommon for women to lose the sexy curves they had before the pregnancy
and gain a bunch of mushy cellulite, flabby inner thighs and saggy, flat
buttocks.
The one thing in common about all the variations of a less than sexy lower
body is this: They will all react to two external factors that you have
3
complete control over; simple, targeted exercises and realistic, body
changing, health enhancing nutrition.
I'm not referring to high intensity gym workouts or some scam diet
supplement regime - I'm talking about gender appropriate, well structured
and totally realistic habits that produce visible and sustainable changes in the
entire lower body of a woman.
For women who generally need to lose fat and flab - the nutrition plan would
incorporate hunger satisfying meals that are within optimal calorie ranges in
order to promote weight loss, slimming and toning.
For women who want to build up sexy, round curves - the calories would
have to be placed at higher daily levels in order for more shapely, feminine
muscle tone to be built.
Regarding the exercises - a realistic and targeted program that doesn't rely
on the availability of a health club's machine and weight room set-up is the
ideal prescription for long term changes and success. This would dictate that
most of the exercises are bodyweight type moves utilizing simple devices
such as a mat, a staircase or a pantry step, and an exercise ball or the edge of
a bed or couch.
By combining the right mix of horizontal position, floor exercises and
progressively sequenced standing exercises - a well structured lower body
exercise program can bring about definite changes in the several hundred
muscles in a woman's lower body. The synergy between the right exercises,
and a matching nutrition plan takes advantage of time tested principles of
exercise physiology that often get lost in a world of hype, and everyone's
search for the latest and greatest breakthroughs.
The solutions to your lower body challenges have been around for ages, but
their simplicity has caused them to become 'old news' - when in reality these
are the exact methods that work best for the typical, everyday female.
The Painful Cost of Doing the Wrong Thing
The ‘easiest’ wrong thing you can do is – ‘nothing’. By doing nothing you
4
assure yourself a slow (sometimes fast) and sure progression of the things
you are unhappy about – the problems with your lower body that bother you
the most. With the passage of time and lack of proper exercise and sensible
nutrition – you allow the aging process to do whatever it wants – and that is
to make you old, saggy and weak as quickly as possible, unless you do
something about it.
From a short term perspective – you may trying some sort of quick fix lower
body ‘repair’ – such as expensive and ineffective wrap treatments, bogus
supplements fraudulently labeled to make a smart person like you actually
believe that your body improvements can come in a bottle, a dangerous new
drug that is supposed to help you with your weight and body or even
cosmetic surgery, that has a whole list of nightmarish possibilities all by
itself.
And let’s not forget how many inappropriate workout programs cause injury,
sometimes severe, because they were prescribed for a person that should not
have been doing that type of workout in the first place. For example, there
are trainers who believe that everyone, regardless of age, gender, physical
ability or goals should be working out with weights and machines. Well,
that’s just crazy.
Difference Between Exercise and Proper Exercise
It is also not uncommon for an inappropriate exercise routine to backfire and
cause more of the problem you were trying to get rid of in the first place. For
example, there were so many times I could remember starting with a new
female training client – and the only thing they wanted to be reassured of
was “Joey, is your program going to make my legs larger than they already
are? Because I worked with a trainer a few years ago and that’s exactly what
happened. It was horrible.”
After talking a bit we would always come to find out that these programs
where based on principles and methods that led to enlarging the body parts
being worked (which is fine if you are a very skinny and shapeless women
and want to build up) – but for women trying to lose and tone – this is a
nightmare. And this is just one example.
5
Then we have the far fetched, high intensity, fad workout craze that happens
to catch a brief spotlight in the media because some celebrity said they were
doing it and all of the sudden everyone wants to do it – then it disappears
after a year or two. I’ve met many people who claim they were injured by
trying a certain type of yoga or by following an exercise routine that was
originally created for dancers.
The truth is, the results you are most likely hoping for can be achieved with
less effort than you think and with much less risk than you need to be
exposed to. Nothing that truly works will work ‘overnight’ – but the right
program should give you the immediate and consistent feedback that you are
definitely on the right track and that definite progress is being made because
of the changes you are feeling on a day to day, and week to week basis.
Three Main Categories – Which One Are You In?
To better illustrate my point I’m going to show you the three main, very
broad, categories of women who seek to change the appearance of their
lower bodies, while also improving their levels of health and fitness.
These three groups are based on survey results that I’ve been tracking since
the start of my professional personal training career and via online client
feedback from women who have been using the Ultiamte Leg, Butt, Hip and
Thigh Makeover™ program.
The three groups are:
1) Fat Loss, Flab & Cellulite Reduction with Slimming, Toning,
Firming and Shaping.
2) Building Up, Sculpting, Creating Feminine Curves and Roundness
by Adding Healthy Muscle Weight in the Right Places.
3) Toning, Lifting, Tightening, Shaping and Cellulite Reduction with
No Weight Gain or Weight Loss.
Now, Just like in the list of problem areas I defined at the beginning, there
are women who may kind of ‘overlap’ in more than one of these groups, but
6
97% of the time each woman can put herself into one of these groups.
Also – depending on the stage of life you are at – it is quite possible that
your goals may change as you make progress and your main focus may shift
from one general direction toward another. This happens frequently in postpregnancy stages – but is not limited to this, by any means. This is the main
reason why I include all three sets of Progression Plans with The Ultimate
Leg, Butt, Hip and Thigh Makeover™ - women literally get three complete,
lower body programs for the price of one.
Regardless of the group you put yourself into the main thing you need to be
aware of is this: Although certain exercises and proper nutrition intake can
make changes happen for any type of ‘out of shape’ lower body – the real
key lies within the structure of the exercise program and the composition of
the eating plan.
While the exercises may be the same – the sets, repetitions and whether or
not light weights are supposed to be used are the factors that determine if a
program is suitable for a specific body type with a certain general goal (one
of the 3 listed above).
Same Foods, Different Calories?
Likewise, while the types of foods will be the same – the difference in
calories per meal and calories per day will be the nutritional factor that
makes the results come faster and easier for your specific goals in regards to
your specific problem areas and lower body attributes that ‘need to be fixed’.
When I created the Blow-Torch “Diet” – I made it so that it could easily be
adjusted upward or downward in terms of total daily calories depending on
the goals of the user.
Besides the obvious tools of targeted exercises and complimentary food
intake – the biggest overall factor that dictates long-term, permanent success
is the ability of the program to be followed as part of a simple healthy
lifestyle.
You can’t take a health club with you when you are traveling, but you can
take a repertoire of clever exercises that utilize bodyweight, gravity and
7
things you can find in the typical house or hotel room. Besides, most women
I have worked with over the years prefer to avoid the hassle and crowds of
the gyms and fitness centers.
In other words, your workouts should not require access to a fully equipped
fitness center and the nutritional part should consist of foods that are
available at most, if not all, supermarkets – foods that you and your whole
family can eat for the rest of your life as part of a lifestyle of solid, health
promoting and fitness enhancing habits.
Some of the exercises that (almost) every woman should be doing are:
One-Leg Hip Extensions
Double Knee-Ups
90 Degree Glute Lifts
Slow Side Shuffle
Step Downs
Chair-High Hip Risers
Inner Thigh Isolators
B/F Touch Downs
Now, the list is longer (there are over 52 exercises in the ULBHTM
program) – but just as important as the actual exercises, are the sequence
they are done in and the tempo they are done with. These are two very
crucial, but often neglected, elements of fitness programming. If you ever
get a chance to talk with a professional trainer ask them about their
viewpoint on exercise sequence and tempo. It can sometimes mean the
difference between success and failure.
Your Leg, Butt, Hip & Thigh Muscles: the Key to a Sexy
Lower-Body
8
As I mentioned earlier, your lower body consists of several hundreds
individual muscles. This is where a picture is worth a thousand words
because it’s very hard for most people to understand what a woman’s lower
body looks like beneath the skin. However, it’s this knowledge that allows
for life changing improvements to happen. Below are several anatomical
images of the muscles in your leg, butt, hip and thigh area.
By seeing what you are trying to improve makes it much easier to do the
things that will help you make the desired enhancements to your lower body
problem areas.
The illustration above is a digital illustration of your lower body. Keep in
mind it is a superficial image and because of that – you are only seeing the
muscles that are visible on the surface layer of the leg, butt, hip and thigh
area. Take notice of the various lines. These are ‘borders’ that separate
individual muscles.
The image below (on next page) is a ‘rear view’ of your leg, butt, hip and
thigh area. Again this is only a surface view – so all you see are the
outermost layers of muscles. There are many muscles that lie below the
surface. Also – take note of the different directions the muscles run in. This
factor is very important when putting together a lower body exercise routine.
9
The image below is a great illustration of the muscles in your lower body that are
BENEATH the surface muscles. This is a view from the back side, of a woman’s right
side starting from the butt and going down into the upper calve area. All of the outer layer
muscles have been ‘erased’ so you can see how many others there are. Take note of the
various shapes, sizes and directions of these leg, butt, hip and thigh muscles.
10
The image below will help us with the inner thigh area – a major problem
for many women.
It’s a view of your pelvic area, from the front. There are three muscles that
start with ‘Adductor’ – these along with the ‘Gracilis’ (see below) are THE
muscles of your inner thigh area. To exercise these properly it takes a certain
combination of moves with proper form and tempo in order to tighten and
tone these hard to reach muscles. Typical weights and machines are not quite
effective at doing this. (I’ll explain why in future issues of your FREE
‘Secrets of a Trainer’ e-newsletter.)
OK – I think that’s it for the anatomy lesson. At this point you probably
know more about the female lower body than 99% of the people around you.
It’s time to move on…
Rip-Off Exercise Gadgets, Scam Lotions & Treatments,
Bogus ‘Enhancing’ Pills
I won’t spend too much time on the pills, lotions and treatments – as I go
into detail on these in my book, ‘Fatness to Fitness’ (set for release in March
2008). But, you should know this, for now.
Companies are allowed to create ineffective products and market them to the
11
unsuspecting public, as long as they follow certain marketing and
advertising guidelines.
In other words – a company can sell you a supplement (pill or powder)
product such as “Leg Slimmer” or “Butt Shaper” – fully knowing that it
won’t do a darn thing for you – and as long as you are not harmed in any
way the company can take your money as long as you are willing to pay for
these ridiculous things. Same thing goes for creams, cellulite lotions and the
various ‘wrap’ or ‘lipossage’ treatments.
OK – regarding ‘Rip-Off Exercise Gadgets. This is one of my biggest tips
for you. I can write pages and pages of exposed fitness cons and money
wasting exercise equipment rip-offs – but all you need to do is go to
www.infomercialscams.com and in the left hand column click on Fitness
Infomercials.
You’ll be shocked at what you read. From Leg Magic to Yoga Booty to Slim
in 6 – the horror stories are endless. But keep this in mind as you read
through the site – there are countless other victims who get ripped off or
even injured and are too embarrassed to come forward and make their
complaint public information. And there are also many who would come
forward if they knew where to file a complaint – but just don’t know where
to turn to.
I know this because I’ve worked with many women over the past 21 years
who have told me about these experiences in confidentiality, during the
fitness assessment and evaluation stage of their program.
Again, this is an ongoing battle as new companies try to cheat people out
their hard earned money by selling ineffective and sometimes harmful
products. I do updates and articles about fitness scam alerts and rip-off diet
product reviews in my interactive magazine website
www.BestFitnessAdvice.com
I kid you not – as I’m writing this, I just got an email from someone asking
me to give my opinion about something called the VacuStep – “The nonsurgical alternative to Liposuction.” - - I just took a quick look at it…
RIDICULOUS !
12
I mean, this trash will go on forever!! It’s crazy. Ok – I’m calming down
now – let’s move on…
The Pros and Cons of Cosmetic Surgery, Liposuction
and Butt Implants
For starters – I must let you know that I am not totally against cosmetic
surgery. As a matter of fact I will openly admit that I had a nose job when I
was about 21 years old. Now if I could have made the cosmetic change with
some exercises and modifying my nutritional intake – I would have. But the
truth is – I actually needed to repair a deviated septum that was causing
breathing problems and sinus discomfort.
In the process, my surgeon, Dr. Morello, asked is I’d like to change the
shape of my nose. I said sure. And that’s what we did.
Now – if you are contemplating some kind of cosmetic surgery to ‘fix’ your
lower body problem areas, I will hope that you read this first. I get many of
these types of inquiries regarding all areas of the female lower body and
several types of surgeries, such as, liposuction, implants and tucks. Read on
as this is the most recent one I have received (the sender has been kept
anonymous):
Here is her story…
Hi Joey......My name is [female name]...I'm a 45 year old women from [city],
Florida....I have a big problem And I'm hoping you can help me....I made the
stupidest decision about a year and a half ago....
I decided to get butt implants!.....This was the biggest mistake of my
life!......After 7 week's, one of the implant's shifted on me....
During the surgery...the doctor puts a pocket in the butt muscle...So when you
sit down...you're not sitting on the implant...But instead the implant would be
in the muscle pocket at the top of the butt when you sit ...Well when my
implant shifted...It stayed in that upper part of my muscle pocket!....
It really scared me when I looked in the mirror...I was hoping it was a muscle
spasm...It went back into place the next day...So I was relieved...But a few
13
day's later...It happened again...And then again!…
It was 6 months before I got the doctor to operate again...To fix the pocket
because obviously the pocket was to large for the implant....So after the
surgery...Everything was fine...
But 6 month's later it happened again!....The same implant. I couldn’t
believe it!... But that was it... I was having them removed...
This was the third surgery in one year where I had to be knocked out...The
risks were getting to great...And besides...I hated everything about those
implant's in me...So out they came.......Now I'm left with a little loose skin on
my butt...Not to bad though...But enough to bother me...
My big issue seems to be my butt muscle...It's much lower then it was
BEFORE the implants...And when I walk it seems to stick out at more of a
point...But if I tense up my muscle...It doesn’t look as bad when I walk...I don’t
know if it's the little bit of looseness in my skin is the problem...
Or is it my muscle has been totally stretched out?....Every doctor has his own
opinion about it...Some say start running...Some say more surgeries…And
some say strict diet and heavy weightlifting! (this is a STUPID FREAKIN’ NO
NO! – Joey)....
So that's why I've come to you, Joey...You seem to know what you're talking
about when it comes to women’s leg, butt, hip and thigh areas and all the
muscle's!....
My butt was strong to begin with...I have a black belt in martial art's...And
I've been weightlifting for almost 10 year's...So my butt muscles were small
but tight...like a runner's butt....So I'm praying that my butt muscle has some
memory....And also, where the doctor put the pocket for the implant...It look's
like the pocket is still there...That area on both side's of my butt stick out...
Then under that area...it's flat because that's where the implant use to be
...And then my butt fullness is down below the flat part...So try to imagine
that look...It really suck's...
It's been 4 month's since I had the implant's removed...And I've been working
my butt as much a I can...The result's if any...Have been very small.....I am
determined to have this all fixed through the power of exercise...I've had it
with surgery – never again!...Please if you have any advice...I would love to
hear it!...Thank You for your time, Joey... [female name].

Yes, true story – and this happens a lot in other types of lower body
cosmetic procedures as well. But, just like women being embarrassed about
getting cheated into buying ineffective exercise gadgets or scam creams and
pills – many are afraid to come forward and get help to fix their problems
that have been made even worse by an expensive and risky surgical
procedure.
Yes – of course there are cosmetic surgeries that go really well, with great
results – but surgery CANNOT take the place of good fitness habits and
healthy nutrition – and it never will. For some women, combining both is a
great way to go. However, I urge all women to first find a balanced exercise
program and combine it with sensible, life enhancing nutritional habits
before choosing to go ‘under the knife’. You may find that surgery is no
longer on your wish list.
Before I sign off – I want to mention the importance of sensible, well
balanced eating habits as they relate to the desired improvements in a
woman’s lower body. The single most important factor I want to highlight
here is synergy.
What I mean by that is the multiplied effect that properly targeted exercises
and wise nutrition have on each other when they are combined for a purpose.
Being synergistic with one another means they enhance the other’s effects in
the overall program. Put simply - they just make things happen faster and
easier when used simultaneously.
I wrote this guide to educate, inform and motivate you to take actions that
are in line with your goals, desires and needs. The thoughts in your mind
that drove you to my materials – the things that you are unhappy with and
want to badly change are the exact things that I want to help you with –
because I know I can.
I wish you success and strength in your quest to improve, not just your lower
body but your mind, body and spirit – your life.
Define where you are starting from - set your sights on where you want to go
and then move yourself into action toward your desires and your sexy,
15
healthy vision of you. The intent of this guide is to empower you to be in a
better, more educated position to decide what is best for you at this point…
You know you need something and this is one of the main reasons you have
chosen to read this guide. I hope what you’ve learned from these pages is
that you can be closer to your goals than you are right now – regardless of
your current physical or emotional state. Equipped with the right information
and instruction – you become unstoppable.
How far you go is only a matter of your choice – nothing else. No outside
force can deter you or prevent you from looking and feeling as sexy and
healthy as you are realistically capable of being. It’s time to stop seeking and
it’s time for you to start ‘doing’. Get out your day-planner or digital calendar
and put your next actions into your schedule:
