Think your commute is tough? Well, consider what the residents of Los Pinos, Colombia do every day to get to work and school.
Back when I trained clients full-time, I always wondered what possessed them to get up at 5:00 a.m. and work out. Couldn’t they at least wait till 7:00 or 8:00?
“Adam” seems like a nice guy. He subscribes to Early to Rise, and, in a recent e-mail, said he is especially interested in my articles about how to get into the movie business. He said that he doesn’t have time to try to get into the movie business himself, but he has tons of ideas. So he would like to offer his ideas to me - and, if I wanted to do something with them, he would get a percentage of whatever money they brought in.

There are things your doctor should know about you that you might be embarrassed to share. Perhaps you’re using illicit drugs, drinking too much, not following doctor’s orders, or eating unhealthy foods.
One of my favorite workouts to do when I'm traveling is "heavy/light" supersets. Supersets combine two movements (usually for two different body parts) back to back, without rest. This gets the heart rate up and cuts down on workout time.
