| One of the things that I do on a regular | | | | be at grocery stores, at the gym, at |
| basis to help me continually learn about | | | | restaurants, at the office, at someone's |
| fitness success and failure is observing | | | | house...all are potential spots to learn why |
| people's habits and actions. I feel that | | | | people are either fit or fat.Start paying |
| these observations are equally as important | | | | attention to the actions of the people around |
| as reading books, journals, articles, etc. | | | | you on a daily basis, and their corresponding |
| for improving my knowledge of what works and | | | | body shape, and you'll learn a lot. Here are |
| what doesn't in fitness.Something that | | | | some examples of things you may notice:You |
| happens to me on a regular basis when I meet | | | | might notice that the overweight woman at the |
| people is that once they find out that I'm a | | | | office who claims she can never lose any |
| fitness professional, they start asking me | | | | weight is actually the first one in the |
| questions about the things that they eat or | | | | kitchen whenever someone brings in free |
| how they exercise, and what my opinion is on | | | | donuts or cookies. You might also notice that |

| resorts in bathing suits, I only saw a grand | | | | calories day in and day out, and that's why |
| total of about 4 people that had anything | | | | she's lean. It's not always as it appears on |
| resembling six-pack abs. That's only 4 people | | | | the surface.The point is that there's always |
| out of probably close to 1000 that I saw | | | | an underlying reason why someone is either |
