A few friends who made their New Year\u2019s resolution to get in better shape asked if I had any advice. Here are ten top tips that work for me. Warning: you will never find these in any legitimate exercise program whatsoever…<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Dan BC’s Fitness Tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. Sleep less<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Being an insomniac is helpful. Sleep is overrated anyway. 4 hours is enough. More than 6 is a complete waste of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Drink coffee<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you don\u2019t like coffee, learn to like it. Start every day with at least half a pot. Don\u2019t add sugar or milk, and certainly no lattes or designer drinks. Just strong, black coffee that\u2019s like injecting caffeine straight into your heart. It will jump start your day and clean out your system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Join a gym<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Join a gym, find a time to get there, and actually go to it. It\u2019s too easy to cheat when you work out at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Start early<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Get in and out of the gym before the sun comes up. (Hence the value of being an insomniac.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Don’t expect it to be fun<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Get the idea that \u201cworking out can be fun\u201d out of your head. It\u2019s not, it sucks. It\u2019s a necessary evil. Walk into the gym with the goal of getting it over with as quickly as you can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Don’t waste time<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t take time to catch your breath between exercises. It takes too long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Don’t socialize<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Whatever you do, don\u2019t make any friends at the gym, don\u2019t even speak to anyone. It takes too long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. Drink lots of water<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Chug two big glasses of water before each meal. That way you\u2019re full before you start eating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9. Don\u2019t eat garbage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At least 75% of what you eat should be something that grows in the earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
