20 predictions for the new year

Hi Andy,

Happy New Year! In todays newsletter, I'm going to predict your

future and forecast exactly what kind of results you're going

to get in the next 12 months.

Sylvia Browne, step aside... I'm pretty good at this.

Several years ago, a public relations firm in New York City asked me

to write an article for one of their publications about fitness trends

and predictions for the coming year.

It turned out that my " crystal ball " was pretty darn accurate.

I nailed most of the predictions I made about aerobics classes,

yoga, core training, " holistic " approaches, functional training,

online personal training technology, the baby boomer market,

increasing obesity and many other subjects.

I do confess, it wasn't that difficult, because instead of just

guessing, I actually did some research on industry statistics and

I also had some " inside insights " because I'd been a health club

manager for so many years and was privy to fitness business trends.

This year, instead of making predictions for the whole fitness

industry, what if I could take out my crystal ball again and

predict with 99% precision exactly what kind of results you will

achieve with your body by the end of the year?

Well, no problem, I can do that too!

I would claim that I have some kind of " gift " for this, but to be

honest, you and I don't need to be psychic to make predictions like these.

There are two things you can always count on:

(1) Nature's laws of cause and effect, and

(2) human nature.

On that basis, here are my 20 fitness predictions for the new year:

I PREDICT that if you can reach into your pocket on any day this year

and pull out a card or piece of paper with all your body and fitness

goals written on it in vivid detail, the odds are 95 to 1 in favor

of you achieving every one of those goals before the year is out.

I PREDICT that if you focus your thoughts on your goals and how you

are going to achieve them, all day long, you will reach your goals

so fast this year, it will make your head spin.

I PREDICT that if you focus your thoughts on health woes and body

fat problems and if you think about what you don't want, all day long,

your problems will get worse than ever this year.

I PREDICT that if you made a new year's resolution, but you didn't

turn it into a specific, written goal with a deadline and a strong

reason why you must achieve it, you will freely abandon it the

moment the going gets tough.

I PREDICT that if you can tell me all the reasons why achieving your

health and fitness goals are important to you, you will be motivated

from within to stick with it when the going gets tough.

I PREDICT that at times, the going is going to get tough.

I PREDICT that if you can tell me today what is your life purpose

and what is your lifelong vision for your body and your health, you

will still be as motivated and driven at the end of the year as you

were at the beginning.

I PREDICT that if you don't have long term goals and a " big picture "

vision for your life that you will lose your New Year's enthusiasm

and motivation in a matter of months or even weeks.

I PREDICT that the way you see yourself in your mind's eye today

will be an exact reflection of what you see in the mirror at the

end of the year.

I PREDICT that if you have a setback that seems to get in the way

of you reaching your health and fitness goals and you tell yourself

" this just is temporary; this too shall pass, " then it will pass and

it won't set you back.

I PREDICT that if you believe the way your body looks today is out

of your control and you feel helpless or powerless to change, you

won't even make much of an effort this year.

I PREDICT that if you accept complete responsibility for the way

your body looks today and you believe that you have the power to

change, that you will take action and keep taking action, even

through the tough times.

I PREDICT that if you're unhappy with your physical condition and

you say, " it's not my fault " or you blame it on genetics, hormones

or age, then your body will look pretty much the same at the end of

this year as it did on New Year's day.

I PREDICT that the more you have patience, a long term perspective

and the ability to postpone immediate gratification, the more likely

you are to be a success one year from now.

I PREDICT that the more you seek " miracle pills " or " quick fixes, "

the more likely you are to be a failure one year from now.

I PREDICT that you will be tempted by many quick fixes this year.

I PREDICT that if you hang out with losers and negative people this

year, you will become just like them.

I PREDICT that if you hang out with winners and positive people

this year, you will become just like them.

I PREDICT that you will run into more negative people and losers

this year than positive people and winners.

I PREDICT that if you recruit just one friend or support partner

that stands behind you and the lifestyle changes you want to make

this year, you will double your chances for success. If you surround

yourself with numerous support partners, you will become virtually

unstoppable.

So how does your future look for the year ahead?

Based on my " predictions, " if it doesn't look as bright as you'd

like it to be, then don't worry, because a prediction is not

predestination.

You can't do anything to change the past, but by changing your

thoughts, attitudes and actions in the present moment, the future

is yours to create.

Train hard and expect success,

Discover how I drop below 4% body fat without

drugs, supplements or low calorie diets!

---------------------------------------------------

I regularly compete in bodybuilding at 4% bodyfat and below.

There are very few people who truly understand fat loss well

enough to bypass plateaus and get this lean, naturally.

That's because I don't just research it or write about it - I

live it!(and I have the trophies and track record to prove it)

What I reveal in my best-selling e-book, Burn The Fat, Feed The Muscle,

is essential knowledge if you want to get really, really lean, and

until you understand these principles, you can't even hope to get

lean enough to see your abs - which is what we all want right?
