Lean and Sexy...Great! But there's more to it than that...

I tell you guys all the time how great you look--because you do! But you know there’s more to it than that, right? Yeah, it’s great that you guys are all lean and sexy, but there are so many other benefits...I’m just going to jot down a few that come to mind...

You probably feel more relaxed. You probably don’t get sick as much as you used to. You probably feel better overall--and why wouldn’t you? Regular exercise can help manage or prevent high blood pressure. Exercise also boosts the “good” cholesterol while decreasing the bad! And the Mayo Clinic also says regular physical activity can help prevent type 2 diabetes, osteoporosis and certain types of cancer!

Obviously you’re leaner, which makes you look better, but you got to admit, you feel better having shed body fat. And I guarantee you carry yourself differently at work and other social situations as a result. Being fit gives you more confidence. There’s nothing better than feeling good about yourself. When you feel good about yourself, it shows!

And I bet all of you have more energy now! Think about it...we work not only your muscles, but your cardiovascular system too. We’ve made your body more efficient circulating blood and delivering oxygen and nutrients throughout your body. You probably have energy now like you did when you were much younger.

Surely you sleep better overall too. Putting your body through the amount of physical activity I put you through should directly translate into you sleeping like a brick at night. You should be falling asleep faster and sleeping deeper...especially exercising early in the AM like you do. I bet some of you have never slept so well.

I’ll just write the following two words: sex life. Remember the confidence and endurance things above? How you feel about yourself? How you feel about your body I wouldn’t be surprised if your significant other hasn’t said something like the following in the last couple of months, “You know honey, I was thinking I might start working out again.” I’ll leave it at that.

And how about FUN! I try and keep it entertaining with my singing, dancing, dorkiness, and inappropriate jokes. I switch the training up a lot to stop you from getting bored. And I’ve seen friendships build in class...hell, many of you have become good friends to me. I get sad when you sleep in and don’t come to class. Seriously. That’s how I feel about you guys.

So yes, all of you look amazing...and I mean AMAZING!, but the results from this class go more than skin deep. One of the best comments I ever received from one of you was as follows: “You know Bill, you’re not only changing the way we look, you’re changing our lives.”
