I once knew a woman who loved to blame everything that was
bad in her life on something or someone else. She had no
responsibility in the matter. It was always someone else's fault.

Her job was a disaster, her boss was a pure evil, her boyfriend
was a psychotic bum. She was wronged, I tell you. A victim of
circumstance.

Turns out there are many "victims" of this type. Folks who had
nothing to do with the way things are in their life. They feel like
they've been given a raw deal or the short end of the stick.

Here's the truth of the matter:

We created our own circumstances. Sure, not all of us came
into the world with everything, but we were all given more than
sufficient tools and skills to make our life good. It's entirely up
to us to change things and make them right. (I'm not talking
about the serious situations. I'm speaking about your typical person.)

So you're overweight or out of shape, or you hate your job, or
your spouse is a lazy, good-fer-nuttin. Well, what're you going
to do about it. Things aren't going to change by themselves.

You have to do it your own self. Start making things the way they
should be, the way things you want them to be.

Otherwise you're just going to get more of the same. If you need
to get stronger, leaner, fitter, then the way is here

The Spanish philosopher Jose Ortega y Gasset said "Yo soy yo
y mi circunstancia." Translation: "I am myself and my circumstances."

In other words, you create your own reality, you ARE your own
reality.

I love infomercials.

I think they're some of the most entertaining TV to watch. My
all-time favorite has to be the spray-on hair by RonCo. I have
to admit that when I was losing my hair the thought of buying
this did cross my mind.

Another great one is for the "Ab Lounger." I'm sure you've
seen this gem. It's basically a device that claims that any slug
can simply lounge and build incredible abs, hence the name.

When it comes to marketing, it's absolutely genius: Get fit while
sitting on your butt. How great is that.

But when it comes to fitness, it's an absolute joke.

Sure, it's better than nothing; or if that's all someone can do
due to injury or illness, then it's fine. But for your average
person, it's a worthless hunk of crap.

It's just more evidence that people will do anything not to really
exercise; they'll do anything that makes it seem like they're
exercising when they're not.

Fact of the matter is you actually have to exercise to carve your
core. If you don't want to put in any effort at all then you won't
get anywhere but a one-way ticket to blubberland. You need to
move your body to sculpt it.

But the good news is that you don't have to do hours upon hours
of dull, tedious crunches either. 15 minutes a day of the right
exercises in the right way, like I show in my Body Sculpting
Bodyweight Exercises for Women program
http://www.eddiebaran.com/body_sculpting_women.html
will carve and chisel your core, and condition your entire body.

The exercises are both quick and effective. Plus they're a lot of fun
to do.

Wishing you the best,

Eddie Baran

P.S. There's only one way to carve your core, and that's to
exercise. And then there's the best way to carve your core:

If you've seen the movie "Little Miss Sunshine" you'll remember
the final scene. I won't give away the ending in case you haven't
seen it but it's one which I would categorize as complete liberation.

What the film said to me is that happiness can only come from
being true to yourself, and not being a slave to someone else's
expectations of you. You, and ONLY YOU, decide who you are
and what you will become.

And to all the judgmental types out there who think you should
conform or be what they want you to be, I say in my "ewscray ouyay."

Take the 50-year old woman who's never really exercised ever
before and decides now is the time to get young
http://www.eddiebaran.com/body_sculpting_women.html
this despite her friends and family ridiculing her.

Or how 64-year old woman who's laughed at because she starts
training in gymnastics, but believes in herself enough to do it anyway.

Then there's the woman who dreams of starting her own business
designing chairs when everyone tells her she'll fail and it's a
stupid idea. But she goes ahead and does so anyway and
succeeds because it's what she wants.

And that's the key. Forget what others want you to be. You'll
only be happy in life if you do what you need to do.

Wishing you the best,

Eddie Baran

P.S. If what you want is a strong, lean, fit, athletic and sleek
body, then I will help get you there

Some people have what I call the Pizza Factor. She seems absent,
rather dull, bland; nothing to really write home about.

Then there are those who have what my friend Vanessa Bader
calls the Pizzazz Factor: vibrant, present, magnetic.

Here are the differences:

Pizza Factor: You walk into a room and nobody notices.
Pizzazz Factor: You walk into a room and all eyes turn to you.

Pizza Factor: You repel people from you.
Pizzazz Factor: You magnetize people to you.

Pizza Factor: You're bland and boring
Pizzazz Factor: You're charismatic and exciting

Pizza Factor: You're unsure about yourself.
Pizzazz Factor: You're confident.

Pizza Factor: You suck the energy right out of a room.
Pizzazz Factor: You light up the room with positive energy.

Which one are you?

If you are a woman of pizza you can change this and become
a woman of Pizzazz. It has nothing to do with looks, smarts, or
wits. You can learn how to have charisma in a few easy steps.

Vanessa Bader (from my Body Sculpting program) has come out
with a series of DVD's called The Pizzazz Factor
http://www.eddiebaran.com/pizzazz_factor.html which show you
how to create a magnetic presence. Simply sit back and watch
the DVD's and you're there.

That's all there is to having a magnificent presence.

Wishing you the best,

Eddie Baran

P.S. Get presence NOW http://www.eddiebaran.com/pizzazz_factor.html

Have you ever wondered why it is that when certain people walk
into a room they always attract your attention? With certain
people you just can't help but notice them. You might think that
it's simply good looks, but it's not.

I can think of countless women who weren't exactly the prettiest,
or smartest, or wittiest but had people surrounding her like
moths to a light.

It all comes down to attitude. Anyone, no matter who you are,
can radiate magnetism by changing your attitude. And you can
learn how to light up a room just with a look, if you know what
to do.

It has absolutely nothing to do with good looks. It's all about
attitude and presence.

Vanessa Bader, who graces the pages of my Body Sculpting program,
can teach you exactly what to do to radiate a magnificent
presence, to get people to notice you, to get irresistible charisma.

When I viewed her new program
http://www.eddiebaran.com/irresistible_magnetism.html
I was completely mesmerized. Wow. You won't be able to
stop watching.

And learning.

Anyone, and I mean ANYONE, can be taught to walk into a room
and have everyone's head turn to you. Vanessa can turn the
most gawky, unappealing frog into a beautiful, radiating, graceful
princess with presence. All with simple, easy changes that can be
learned in a few minutes.

Wishing you the best,

Eddie Baran

P.S. Get irresistible magnetism NOW. Go here and read how

Sometimes you try everything to get in shape and nothing helps.
It's a hopeless and frustrating situation for most women. That is,
for the unfortunate women who haven't yet discovered my program.

Here's a letter from a nearly 50-year old, out-of-shape, beat up,
nearly 200-lb woman who is transforming her life by using my
body sculpting program, and only a few times a week:

Dear Eddie,
Thank you so much for a wonderful body sculpting exercise program
http://www.eddiebaran.com/body_sculpting_women.html . I have
to admit that I was highly skeptical about the claims made at your
web site. At 47 years old, 5'3" and 196 pounds, with painful knees
and broken down feet, and extremely out of shape, I doubted that
there was much that could help me.

I've tried many different types of exercise in the past, but instead
of improving my body condition and my stamina, nothing changed
--and sometimes I even ended up more tired.

Enter your program. I have never seen anything like it and the
results are amazing--and fast! I ordered the program and received
it about 3 weeks ago. At the most, I used the program 2-3 times
a week and didn't change anything about my eating habits. I have
noticed amazing results and am especially enjoying a huge surge
of energy like I haven't experienced in years.

My husband noticed after the first 3 workouts that my body was
responding and changing. He can't believe how much energy I have
and how much I can now get done--and with no pain or tiredness.
He's always been very physically fit, but I have him beat with energy
levels these days.

Last night, my brother-in-law complimented me on losing a lot of
weight.
Now, for this man to notice anything is quite amazing--and compliments
are even more rare. I've definitely lost inches. I only wish I had
measured myself and taken pictures before I began.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, for giving me a program that finally
works. I can't praise it enough. Best wishes and much success,

Cindy S.
Chicagoland

Cindy,
That is great news. So happy to hear of your success. I'm proud
of you. You've shown that you anyone can do it at any age and at
any weight. You're on your way to some amazing things.

Keep me posted on your continued success.

===

So you see, Andward, you don't have to be 25 years old
and only 100 lbs to get into great shape. Whether you're 50 or
15, 100lbs or 250lbs. There is something for you in this program.

Wishing you the best,

Eddie Baran

P.S. There are no excuses. If you are a fitness newbie, then start
with the easiest exercise in the program and do one rep. Start
from there and move on. Go here now

When I was in college, I took a basic computer class. This was
100 years ago so computers were nothing like they are today.
Not much more than a bunch of zeros and ones on the screen,
and an abacus thrown into a box; it was very cryptic stuff back then.

Of course I did horribly in the class, as it was just too complicated
for me. I was officially a computer illiterate. And this is what I
thought for almost an entire decade.

When it was time for a career change, I had to face the music
and learn to get good with computers. In the past I was a disaster
with these things so it was hard for me to even pursue this. As long
as I felt inadequate about my computer skills from the past then I
would never get good at them. My past haunted me.

It wasn't until I realized that the past didn't matter at all did I
overcome it. And at that point I realized that I could get good at
this.

And I did. In fact, my computer skills were so good that I
was paid good money to be program them. The past was completely
irrelevant. If it had mattered then I would always have been bad.

Maybe you're thinking that you've failed with exercise plans in
the past and will fail again. Or that you're doomed to stay in bad
shape because you have in the past. But that was then, and this
is now. The past is over. NOW is what matters so now is the time
to make things better.

Wishing you the best,

Eddie Baran

P.S. Because the past doesn't matter, time to get into your best
shape now. Do it with body sculpting bodyweight exercises

Donald Disses O'Donnell's Dilated Derriere
or
Rosie's Rotund Rump Riles Trump

Don't know if you've heard the little sparring between Donald
Trump and Rosie O'Donnell but it's been pretty entertaining.

I'm not one to care at all for celebrity squabbles, and I could
not care less about celebrity gossip. I just don't care. I've got
bigger fish to fry than to be concerned about what actor did to
whom, or who she's dating.

But this little episode is so silly it's funny. I guess Rosie said
something about Trump and his hair, so Trump fought back and
said a few choice words in return. I'm paraphrasing here, but
the words "fat slob" and "repulsive" and "disgusting" were thrown
about.

No reason to be nasty here. Sounds like a lot of projection going
around. Both could do with a good fitness program. But perhaps
neither wants to lose weight and are completely happy being heavy.

But my guess is that neither is happy. It's just that they don't
know what to do. They've tried it all, I'm sure. And who hasn't.
But no results.

My prescription to stop the fighting for both Rosie and Trump is
bodyweight exercises -
http://www.eddiebaran.com/body_sculpting_women.html
Perfect for the lazy and busy person. 15 minutes a day will sculpt
your body into a lean, strong, toned work of art.

It's the simple solution for these two and any one to get rid of
fat and to get peace.

Wishing you the best,

Eddie Baran

P.S. Don't attack others like Rosie and Trump did. Just do what
you've got to do to get in shape. Go here now and get with the
program http://www.eddiebaran.com/body_sculpting_women.html

The only reality that matters is your own.

You create your own reality, not anyone else. Don't bother
being in someone else's and don't bother having someone
else create yours for you. The great majority of people are
stuck in the reality of every other person.

This is not conducive to success.

If the Wright Brothers had been realistic or practical, they
never would have attempted creating a flying machine. They
were so unrealistic - or rather had their own reality outside
of everyone else - that they created something so
unimaginable that it seemed impossible at the time.

And that goes for everyone else who has ever wanted
something great.

It doesn't have to be on a big scale either. Maybe getting
your body into phenomenal shape at age 54 isn't realistic to
other people, but to you, in your reality, it makes complete
sense.

Why? Because you created it. You decide what's realistic
for you, not those average folks who are drowning in their
own mediocrity.

Or perhaps you want to get sculpted legs and abs when you're
a good 50 lbs overweight. Others will tell you you're insane
to have such fantasies but in your world, this is possible.

Once you have the vision to create your dream body, all you
need is the tool to sculpt it. The best tool for a woman to
create their best body is Body Sculpting Bodyweight Exercises
for Women http://www.eddiebaran.com/body_sculpting_women.html

Don't worry about what others deem as realistic or based in
reality. It doesn't matter and it doesn't concern you. Why would
anyone want to be in someone else's cruddy reality anyway?
I'd rather create my own.

Wishing you the best,

Eddie Baran

P.S. Women all over the world are creating their own realities by
sculpting lean, strong and sleek bodies the way they want them
to be with the Body Sculpting Bodyweight Exercises for Women.

A few years back, on January 1, a friend on mine made a New Year's
Resolution to quit smoking. Of course this lasted all of one day. A
two-pack a day habit had him climbing the walls and reaching for his cancer
sticks as fast as he could unwrap the package. He had folded like a house
of cards.

"Hey," he rationalized, "resolutions are supposed to be broken."

Exactly. He nailed it on the head.

It wasn't until later in the year that he had actually quit the habit.
For good. He's been smoke-free ever since. The difference was he had
made it a goal to quit, not a resolution.

I can't say that I believe in New Year's Resolutions. I just have never
found them to be effective in producing results, neither in myself nor
in others. They've never worked for me, as I give up on them within the
day like my friend did.

Seems like most people don't fare much better, throwing in the towel on
their resolutions by February.

Goals, on the other hand, are something I strongly believe in. And rely
on. As opposed to New Years Resolutions, goals, as my friend showed,
carry power with them. Resolutions just say "I quit" all over them. But
if they work for you then by all means use them.

Here are your goals for 2007:

This is the year you're going to get into the best shape that you've
ever been. This is the year that you're going to get a strong, lean,
athletic and toned body http://www.eddiebaran.com/body_sculpting_women.html
. 2007 is THE year.

If you prefer resolutions, then make it one. If you're like most people
where they don't work, then make this your goal.

Wishing you a happy new year and your best year yet,

Eddie Baran

P.S. Make this your best year yet by starting off with building your
best body ever. Get started NOW by heading on over to
