GINO ARCAROI can’t take two consecutive days off from working out. No calling in sick. No vacation days. I’ve worked out 223 days this year. Each workout has had a different purpose. A higher purpose. That’s how I keep the streak alive. I recently extended my workout streak to 43 years. It started at the top […]
“Get over it†is one of the most useless statements in the English language. It’s meaningless. It has no value. And it’s used by parrots who simply echo what they hear. No mind of their own. Here’s why: First, try telling them exactly how to get over it. Secondly, not getting back to it is […]
Coaching football has taught me one of the secret exercises for fat loss – wind sprints. Intervals of sprinting mixed with jogging or walking. Running as fast as you can several time in a row with minimal rest. Wind sprints have become fashionable by other names like HIIT but wind sprints have been around forever. […]

I have anabolic fat cells. They seemingly grow for no reason. The most important factor in fat loss is most often obscured. We’ve been conditioned to believe that fat loss centers on magic – magic diet, magic pill, magic workout. But the real magic is typically overlooked. The magic of mindset. It’s the top factor […]
There are no natural shortcuts to fat loss or muscle-building – physically or mentally. #dontbelievebullshit I was an obese dysfunctional 12 year-old. My fat loss was excruciating. My muscle-building was even more hell. I’ve been working out like a maniac for 42 years continuously – naturally. No anabolic steroids. No fat loss pills, No performance-enhancing […]
About the Book Nothing just happens. Nothing happens automatically; we have to work to make it happen. And, nothing happens randomly. There are no coincidences, just connections. We all have a soul of a lifter, the potential to lift others, to earn the greatest reward of putting up ladders for others. Souls of lifters are […]
I experienced childhood obesity. I know the struggle of fat loss. I lost fat on my own because I had to. There were no fitness coaches and we couldn’t afford one if there were. As it turned out, I have coached thousands on the football field and in the gym and I’ve come to a […]
