As said by John Heywood, Rome wasn’t built in a day.1Who the fucking bleep is John Heywood?!?!, you ask. Well, have you ever said or heard the expression, “Better late than never”? “Hit the nail on the head”? “A penny for your thoughts”? “Beggars can’t be choosers”? If you’ve said or heard any of those sayings, then you’re familiar with John Heywood because he’s the English playwright who came up with those and many more turns of phrases that are used in ordinary conversation. So that’s who the bleeping fuck John Heywood is!

It was built brick…2Take a guess what comes next.

…by brick…3Take another guess what comes next.

…by brick!!!

A brick was laid every hour for days, weeks, months, and years until the patricians, while on break from one of their famed orgies, looked up and saw there was a city and then gave the go-ahead for the slaves to stop building.

Yup, Rome didn’t just magically appear out of nowhere…unlike the Sphinx and pyramids in Egypt that are clearly the result of ancient aliens, of course.

So what’s the takeaway message here? Continue reading The Brick-By-Brick Goal Approach

People do a very funny thing.1Since you happen to be a people, you probably do it too!

Care to know what it is so you can chuckle at the fuckery everybody does?2Including you!

Well, they go home to their apartment building after a workout.

Oh, so their mistake is renting instead of owning?, you ask.

Yes, but that’s a separate matter!

As to what the mistake is that’s made by people in this specific instance, it isn’t paying off someone else’s mortgage and walking away with zero equity. No, the mistake made by people is going home to their apartment building after a workout and then hopping on the elevator right by the entrance instead of walking the few extra steps to the stairwell to take the stairs.3And your mistake, too! Assuredly, they do this because they’re so plumb tuckered out from their physically and mentally draining sets of quarter squats.4You do too!

Now, while I know it’s easy to be totally wiped out from only thrusting up and down an inch, taking the elevator instead of the stairs isn’t the right choice because it cuts down on energy expenditure, which effectively reduces the potential amount of calories that could be burned for the day. Compounding things is all the other inactivity before and after the gym that tallies up to the burning of fewer potential total calories.5One example is parking as close as possible to the gym entrance so you don’t have to do that much walking to and fro.

So what’s the solution? Continue reading Why You Should Take The Stairs
