I have just finished reading Craig Harper's Fattitude... thank you to Sue, Kerry, Jodie and Di who have all read it and raved so much about it, I brought it and I too am about to rave!!!
Have you heard of Craig Harper before???? He is a exercise scientist and owns Harper's Personal training in Brighton... He also writes for WH&F... and I always love what he write.. no BS, just straight to the point...
Anyway, his book.. Fattitude is amazing... the most motivational book I have ever read... (I used to work in real estate... I have read ALOT of motivational books...)
It is so hard to try and summarise what he has to say, but I will try!!!
In a nutshell.... Just do it!! (Apologies to Nike...but they do have a point!!!) I will plagiarise one little bit from the first chapter "Not another Diet Book"-
"Over the last ten year I have been inspired to explore why two people given the same opportunities, the same information an the same resources will invariably achieve totally different outcomes - one succeeds, one fails. Let's say these two people have the same ability and the same opportunity; one person complains constantly, makes excuses, is mad at the world and blames everything and everyone for their failures; while the other person approaches the same challenge with a no fuss attitude and consequently turns their life and body around in a relatively short period of time... EVERY SINGLE DAY PEOPLE MAKE THE PROCESS OF GETTING IN SHAPE MUCH HARDER THAN IT NEEDS TO BE..."
I found myself nodding while reading this masterpiece... agreeing with a lot of what he has written... very blunt, very to the point... Have give so many examples of people he has worked with, it is easy to relate to what is he saying to a situation or someone you know..
Nothing is magic that is going to make you thin and in shape tomorrow.. No meeting, no magic potions, no new exercise program.. They are all just tools to help you get there!! If you aren't losing weight on a program (like WW..), it isn't the program that isn't working.. you aren't!!! So simple.... most of us have all the knowledge we need to live a healthy and fit lifestyle.... we just need to do it!!!
So guys.. if you need a little bit of a kick in the arse to get to going... BUY THIS BOOK!!! and do it!!!
BTW... You can get the book from Craig's site and also Sue sells them from her Business Ideal Bodies online...
