(Check out www.tysonjohnson.com) My goal with this book is to get you to recognize the importance of a healthier lifestyle and get you to a point where you can achieve at least five days of eating well, combined with four or five days of exercising properly. This book is about efficiency and effectiveness. I don’t want you to become obsessed and focused on losing weight. I want you to focus on living a better, healthier lifestyle through proper eating and sensible exercise routines.
As I told you in my first book, the answer to losing weight becoming more fit and looking your best can be achieved by eating properly and exercising consistently. Now why would you listen to the majority of magazines, books, or infomercials that continue to tell you about magic pills, diets, and machines that’ll never work? During my training classes at the Universal Grappling Academy I keep my people motivated with constant encouragement of our team motto “Train Hard and Finish Strong”!, I also remind them that “Nobody said it was going to be Easy”! All of the books and television ads want you to believe the opposite. Don’t listen to them, quick and easy remedies will not help you achieve your goals, but proper nutrition and daily exercise will.
You need to remember that fitness and weight loss is a process, as in anything in life, and it takes time, desire, determination, and dedication (3-D’s). You have to find the right process for your individual needs and body type. Motivate yourself anyway you need to, as long as it gets you going and keeps you going. Be good to yourself, if you give 100% it’ll be very hard to fail, but any lack in effort may bring forth the failure you need to avoid. It’s a shame that people seem to take better care of their household or auto possessions better than their own bodies.
Simply put, this book is about providing more information and education to those who need or want it. This book is about sharing working programs with you that I have seen work for many other people just like you. I want to show that you also can control your own destiny when it comes to fitness and weight management. You will learn that when or if you get off track, you can get back on and continue working towards you goals. I stress the importance of child safety as well as better awareness for women who may potentially become victimized.
You can also get a woman’s perspective on your personal health issues and self defense. I have also included information and education from real law enforcement officials along with their stories on how the Universal Grappling program and a healthier lifestyle have helped them in their professional careers. My first book (Tyson Johnson’s Universal Grappling Academy – Training, Nutrition, and Motivation Guide) has helped change so many lives in positive ways that I just had to do it again. That book is available on the web at www.Amazon.com, www.Borders.com, or get it here – www.buybooksontheweb.com look under the Health & Fitness #24
Taking enough time to train, condition, and prepare your-self before a fight is too important to ignore. It’s not like a practice fight that you may have in the dojo, but that’s the mentality that some people come in with. I used this question to one of my fighters who seemed to be gassing out during an important fight, and after saying this, he got up and kicked some ass! “Are you so tired that you’re willing to give up the fight and your dreams of success?” He of course thanked me after winning his fight for the added motivation and drive those words gave to him! You have to realize that it takes so much more to prepare for an opponent coming full blast after you then just casual competition in the practice room. In MMA it takes so much more training because you’re not just concerned with one style of fighting but many styles all combined and coming to hurt you. So many times people have come into the UGA saying they want to be a fighter. I take the time to ask them about their motivations that gave them that idea. I will then explain to them that it takes time and commitment to actually make it to the point of even getting a fight. Most people can’t make it that far; they’ll come in for maybe a week or so but soon after that, they begin making their excuses and missing classes. It takes Desire, Determination, and Dedication to reach any goal that you may want to achieve.
