I managed to lose 50+ pounds myself and carve out my own exercise regime by simply researching online, trying what worked for me and adding what suggested itself.

Now the irony of what I am gonna write next is that I will actually quote SOMEONE ELSE to reinforce that we should think for OURSELVES lol! So there: "Absorb what is useful, Discard what is not, Add what is uniquely your own" It is attributed to the late Bruce Lee. In actuality Bruce was probably inspired to coin it by Krishnamurti (Deepak Chopra's teacher). Which is exactly the quote put in action! Awesome. Yavor Yup – thinking for ourselves…
