My Big Fat Ass
Rachel Cosgrove
At the gym yesterday, sitting in my office and I hear "I can't get my big fat ass up there." I immediately throw open my office door and look to see if who I think said what I think she said and by the look on her face (as if she had just been caught in the cookie jar) she did. And then she said- "I just got busted! I didn't know you were here!" . . .

The Importance of Progressive Overload
I woke up the other day and found this email waiting in my inbox: "Rachel, I'm scared of doing heavy lifts in the gym because my knees hurt and buckle when I squat. I do some of the movement, but I'm scared to do the whole range of motion for fear of inflaming them further. Any tips on how to bypass this knee pain? It's the sudden buckling that worries me. I don't want to collapse with a hundred pounds on my shoulders. Help!" Yikes! This poor girl should not have a hundred pounds on her shoulders to begin with! She never should've progressed up to that weight if her knees are buckling and there's significant pain. . . .

Q and A From The Trenches
I'm in my gym everyday, working and interacting with clients, answering their questions, and giving them advice to achieve the best possible results. We have over 200 members, so I'm constantly bombarded with questions. I always find the questions interesting because I think some should be obvious, while others I just find entertaining, but they're all real questions from real people. I thought many readers might be wondering some of the same things I hear asked on a regular basis. . . .

| I have learned to test my limits. I now have a completely different mindset than when I started. Now I actually look like an athlete, feel good about myself and am fit and ready to be my best! Thank you for everything!" - Haley
"I have worked to achieve the goals of being in great physical shape, losing weight, feeling good, and looking good. After losing 70 pounds, and a total of 14% body fat I can say I am the happiest I have ever been." - Maria, 2007
" A few weeks after my 38th birthday I decided I didn't like the way I looked. This wasn't your typical, "Gee, I don't like the way I look today." This was more of an overwhelming "Gee, I don't like the way I look today or ANY day!!!" My self esteem was at all time low. I thought to myself "If I started getting in shape now, then maybe, just maybe I'll have the body I always wanted by the time I am 40." My goal was to lose 25 lbs of fat in twelve weeks. I not only achieved my goal I exceeded my goal- but it's a whole lot easier than you think. Today I look great, I feel great and my self esteem is at an all time high! I am still training and still achieving new goals! I will be celebrating my 40th birthday in a few months time and I can honestly say I never believed I would truly be in the best condition of my life at age 40! I highly recommend the philosophies in this book to ANYONE who wants to look and feel better everyday." - Donna
