sneaky little blood sucker

Just got this from our friend and US Sports Strength and Conditioning Partner Trainer Joe Arangio.
Had to share this because a lot of us (myself included) will be convicted by this and further convinced to make a change in our lives. Enjoy! 
-Nate
Five years ago we are out to dinner with two other couples. One of
the guys is my age (let's call him Jon) and he knows I'm a
Tactical Strength and Conditioning Coach.

Jon reads my emails and I gave him one of my books a few months
earlier.

I know he had been working out infrequently at the police academy
and "doing WeightWatchers" and when I asked how it was going, he
went into the same old song and dance I've heard a thousand times...

"Man... I'm so busy, I just don't have time."

By the way, Jon's definition of "working out" involves 10 minutes
of treadmill walking followed by random exercises on machines.

Occasionally he'll do required physical fitness testing. But he
doesn't care too much about how well he does because the police
department can't fire him for being overfat and unhealthy.

I guess they're afraid of lawsuit and other lawyer stuff.

Simply put, he does not follow a structured plan nor he does he
have a coach.

This is strange because Jon is a college-educated guy and he
knows exactly what he SHOULD do. He can afford to hire a coach.
But humans are hardwired for laziness (me included) and he is being
selectively lazy when it comes to his health.

Remember that Jon is in law enforcement. And his life, and
the lives of others, depends on his mental and physical ability
to win all of his fights.

By the way, in other parts of his life, Jon is an uber-motivated,
nose-to-the-grindstone type of guy.

Jon is married with two kids and a great career. 

But he struggles with overeating, and as a result, maintains around
40 extra pounds of bodyfat on his athletic frame. This places Jon
in the "obese" category, according to the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention.

Some backstory:

Jon lives in an area of the United States that accepts
obesity like it's no big deal.

Yes, it seems like everyone in Jon's hometown is overweight or
obese, or even morbidly obese, including the law enforcement
professionals.

Don't believe me?

Note that the top-two employers in Jon's town are BOTH hospitals.

Now I'm no conspiracy theorist, but hospitals make a ton of cash
by treating PREVENTABLE disease. If you are overweight, the
probability of developing these life-threatening diseases
increases significantly:

*High blood pressure
*Diabetes
*Heart disease
*High cholesterol
*Cancer
*Infertility
*Back pain
*Joint pain, etc, etc

Sadly there's NOT a lot of money to be made in preventing the
disease that often goes hand-in-hand with having a bunch of
extra bodyfat.

Also, if you have chosen to serve and protect, as a cop or soldier,
the single factor that determines your survivability in a
life-or-death situation, more so than any other, is how well you
have prepared for the unexpected.

Who would you rather have in your squad car, or in your patrol:

Officer Stubborn?
6'2" 240 pounds at 30% bodyfat
Weak, helpless, and unsure of his abilities

Or this guy?

Officer Smart
6'2" 240 pounds at 12% bodyfat
Strong, powerful, and confident

And NOBODY wants to work with the overfat, out-of-shape guy because
there's a strong possibility that he will become a liability during
the moment of truth.

...back to the dinner story.

"Okay," I said. I'm not his coach so I just let it go.

By the time dessert came, the conversation gently eased over to the
topic of favorite television shows and networks.

He said, and I quote verbatim, "I LOVE CNN - I watch it for at
least two hours a night. I never miss it."

Really? Really???

Did you really just say that?

Just sixty minutes earlier you said you have NO TIME. And now, you
are telling me you spend two hours a night, on your sofa, watching
TV?

So you DO have time; however, your priority just happens to be
watching TV for two hours instead of respecting your body by taking
care of your health.

Again, I did not judge him. Nor do I judge you.

If you would rather watch TV than lose dangerous bodyfat -- that
will eventually steal your joy and freedom -- then I am happy for
you.

Everyone is on their own path in life.

And I'm not hating on TV. Sharon and I have our share of shows
we watch on Netflix. And we love date night at the movie theater.

But here's a little secret...

You DO have time.

You can choose to set your alarm 45 minutes earlier (or go to sleep
45 minutes later) and in about 45 minutes you can get a total-body
workout that requires NO equipment...

*5-minute dynamic warmup
*17-minute resistance training
*17-minute metabolic conditioning
*5-minute recovery

If you truly want it bad enough, you find the time and eliminate
the excuses.

You see, your excuses are the sneaky little blood suckers in life.
Stealing your energy and leaving you exhausted, empty.

I'm not here to coddle you - you subscribe to my emails. And you
invest in my books to hear the TRUTH. The truth about what it takes
to live the rest of your life on your own terms.

The question is... will you find the time to perform these 
Tactical Bodyweight Workouts? Or will you make excuses?

Virginia State Ruins Bowie State Bulldogs’ Homecoming Celebration with 24-14 Victory





BOWIE, Md. (Oct. 18, 2014) – Bowie State University squandered a 14-point lead as Virginia State University rallied to claim a 28-14 victory, spoiling Homecoming for the Bulldogs. The win improves Virginia State’s record to 5-2 overall (4-0 in the CIAA) while Bowie State dips to 2-5 overall (2-2 in the CIAA).

Neither team displayed very impressive total offensive yards as the Trojans accounted for just 186 compared to 296 for the Bulldogs. Possession time was all Virginia State with the Trojans holding on to the ball 36:29 compared to 23:31 for Bowie State. After rolling up 213 yards of offense in the first 30 minutes, Bowie State managed just 83 in the second half.

Junior Trevon Bennett (Fort Washington, Md.) threw for over 200 yards for the fourth time this season in five starts, completing 22-of-34 passes for 208 yards and one touchdown. Redshirt sophomore Jordan Garrison (Baltimore, Md.) led all Bowie State receivers with 50 reception yards on four catches. Junior Garry Cropper (Odenton, Md.) and freshman Kerrick Pollock (Miami, Fla.) also had four receptions for 48 and 36 yards respectively.  Redshirt senior Keith Brown (Temple Hills, Md.) paced the Bulldogs ground game with 46 yards on 15 carries. Graduate student Christopher Townsend (Washington, D.C.) recorded a game-high 11 tackles in the loss.

Virginia State quarterback Tarian Ayers (Dillwyn, Va.) completed 18-of-28 passes for 139 yards and two touchdowns. Kavon Bellamy (Hampton, Va.) carried the ball 24 times for a game-high 72 yards and one touchdown while Jaivon Smallwood (Virginia Beach, Va.) caught five passes for 51 yards. Dion Futch also tallied five catches in the game for 34 yards. Futch also made probably the biggest play of the game, returning a fourth quarter punt 74 yards that set up the final Trojans score. Brandon Robinson (Mechanicsville, Va.) was Virginia State’s top tackler with nine while teammates Darion Thomas (Virginia Beach, Va.) and Divonte Piggott (Woodbridge, Va.) added eight tackles each.

The Bulldogs scored the first six points of the game at the 2:44 mark of the first quarter on a Bennett to Cropper nine yard pass and catch.

Bowie State went up 14-0 with 6:30 left to play in the second quarter when redshirt junior Kendall Jefferson (Temple Hills, Md.) scampered in for six two yards for the score, capping off a 12-play, 80 yard drive. The Bulldogs two-point conversion was good when Bennett connected with junior Jamal Chappell (Baltimore, Md.).

Bulldogs redshirt freshman Leon Wheeler (Washington, D.C.) forced a Virginia State fumble on the ensuing kickoff only to have the Trojans take the ball right back on an interception by VSU’s Ronald Lewis (Virginia Beach, Va.).

Seven plays later, Virginia State found the Bulldogs end zone via an Ayers five yard pass to Willie Stubblefield (Highland Springs, Va.). Matthew Hillquist (Glen Allen, Va.) added the extra point to cut the BSU lead down to 14-7 with 1:52 left in the first half.

Bowie State rolled up 213 yards in total offense in the first half and the Bulldogs defense held the Trojans to just 37 total yards over the first 30 minutes of action.

The Trojans trimmed their deficit to 14-10 at the 10 minute mark of the third quarter following a 21-yard Hillquist field goal.

Virginia State took their first lead of the afternoon at 17-14 with 3:46 left in the third quarter after a five yard rushing touchdown by Bellamy, capping off a 10-play, 58 yard drive.

The Trojans put the game away early in the fourth quarter when Ayers connected on a 14-yard pass to Bellamy. This drive was setup by Futch’s long punt return of 74 yards.

The Virginia State defense reversed course in the second half holding Bowie State to only 83 yards of total offense which included only two rushing yards.

Bowie State will hit the road next Saturday (October 27th) playing at co-division leader Virginia Union University. Game time at VUU’s Hovey Field is set for 1 pm.
