Words of Inspiration
It's So Simple: Toshihiko Seko had a simple training routine. He won the 1981 Boston Marathon and 1983 Tokyo Marathon. It's so simple, he tells it in only twelve words. This plan enabled him to outrun the world's greatest, fastest and most gifted runners. He says ""I run ten kilometers in the morning and twenty in the evening"". When Seko was told that his plan seemed too simple when compared to that of other marathoners, he replied, ""The plan is simple. But I do it every single day, 365 days a year"". People fail to reach their goals not because their plans are too simple, but because they aren't willing to follow their plans. Many goals do not require detailed plans. But they do require following the plan. Plans do have to be followed to achieve success. Note: WF Members receive motivation like this in their e-mail box every Monday morning!

Hot Fitness Tip of the Week
Keep your weight training short and sweet. Training Workouts do not need to be long to be effective, in fact, if they are too long, they are counter-productive. The goal of weight training is to go into the gym and stimulate muscle growth, not to annihilate the muscles. By stimulating them with progressive overload, you are forcing them to respond and adapt to this progressive overload. Anything more is futile over training. Try to complete your workout in less than 45 minutes. This short time period will ensure you do not over do it, it will ensure intensity. It's much easier to focus for 30-45 minutes than it is an hour. The growth-assisting hormones secreted in your body actually peak after about 30 minutes of weight training and then begin to decline rapidly. So try to keep it quick and intense. No total body workout. Choose one or two muscle groups, train them well, and leave under 45 minutes.
