Avoid the Temptation to Spend (Waste) Your Money on Gimmicks...
And Learn to Recognize a Gimmick When You See One

Once you begin getting a taste of what real hard training
is like, it often becomes tempting to succumb to the error of looking
for the "easy way." An electrode on your abs, a "fat-melting"
cream, a pill, a drink mix, a drug - anything and everything except
sweat and hard work. But shortcuts will always fail you in the long
run.
You are setting yourself up for so much trouble if you
give in to the lure of the quick fix. You see, it's all about the Law
of Sowing and Reaping. This great law of life states that your rewards
can only come back to you in direct proportion to what you put in. Everything
has its price and that price must be paid in advance.
If you were a farmer, how ridiculous would it be for you
to skip the planting of the seeds in the spring and then go out in the
fields looking for a harvest in the fall? How ridiculous would it be
to stand in front of a wood burning stove and say, Okay stove, give
me some heat and then I'll put in some wood?
But isn't it the same thing when you take a pill or attach
some electrodes to your stomach, or smear some cream on your thighs
and expect to lose the flab without exercise or eating right? Even if
you've made the decision to avoid gimmicks, in today's marketplace,
how do you know what's a gimmick and what's legit? After all, these
marketing people are smart - they know how to play on your emotions
and make gimmicks sound scientific. Don't feel bad; judging by the e-mails
I get every day, most other people don't know the difference either.
Nearly all of these e-mails include this sentence: Does "IT"
work?
Here's how to tell if "IT" is a gimmick or not:
If it makes getting in phenomenal shape sound easy and effortless, then
it's a gimmick. If it addresses the symptom but not the cause - it's
a gimmick. If your gut feeling says it sounds too good to be true -
it's a gimmick. If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks
like a duck.... it's a duck! Do yourself a favor and stop looking for
a quick ride to the top. The elevator to success is out of order - you're
going to have to take the stairs.
