If you're trying to lose weight or significantly improve your fitness level, I have one simple rule for you. The stinkier you end up......the better! I see too many folks strolling along on the treadmill or coasting lamely on bikes. They look comfortable and comfort does not lead to improvement. You don't have to be a jock to do work hard, you just have to your personal best.

Next time you go for a workout, see how gross you can get. Challenge yourself! In order to improve you must look red-faced, nasty haired, flaunt all sorts of icky wet patches on your clothing and carry an odor nobody would care to be subjected to. If you've accomplished these things, you've probably done a lot of huffing and puffing and burned a zillion calories. Mmmmm. I love the stench of success!
