Sometimes even a 30-minute workout doesn’t seem possible—not because you’re injured but because you just don’t feel up to it.
“Wow, I have to push and pull for 30 minutes and work up a sweat? I’d rather watch ‘Mike and Molly.’”
The two overweight characters on that show might make you feel better about yourself—but by skipping your workout, you’ve taken one step toward renewing your Chub Club membership. Yikes. A little guilt creeps in during every commercial….
But guilt is not the secret to consistent workouts (although it can help). There’s a mind trick that helps Becky and I override under-motivation….
Here’s the secret: When you don’t feel like doing your workout, take the pressure off—tell yourself that you only have to do ONE simple exercise with the F4X method—five minutes, that’s it!
Make that exercise the one that works the largest muscles in your body, your legs and glutes (butt). That would be squats.
One exercise—simple; five minutes and you’re done.
I can almost guarantee that once you finish an invigorating F4X sequence of squats, you’ll feel so good that you’ll want to do the rest of your workout—or at least most of it.
If not, no big deal. You got some good muscular work, a metabolic-momentum kick and a mood boost from your quick five-minute squat session.
According to John Baley, M.D., of the Harvard Medical School, just two minutes of exercise is enough to change your mood, as long as you raise your heart rate—and squats with short rests between sets will definitely do that.
So when you’re not “into” hitting the gym, make the one-exercise compromise—and you’ll be surprised. You’ll get a mood lift and metabolic shift to keep your lean machine revved.

Hey Steve this is Derrick Vendetti I bought your e-book on my iPad for some reason I’ve recited my iPad and I can’t download the book that I bought from you can you help me out
Derrick,

Steve
Dear Steve, I didn’t know where else to send this, as I have been unable to find a way to contact you. I paid $9.00 for your midsection makeover a little while ago , and I didn’t see anything about downloading it , so I assumed it must be a hardcopy. Since I receive emails from you daily, I now realize it is NOT a hardcopy, and I have no way of downloading it without paying $9.00 again. Can you please help me ??? Robin Bellach birdturd200@yahoo.com
Robin,
E-mail me your PayPal receipt. Just reply to one of the e-newsletter e-mails.
Sorry about the inconvenience.
Steve
Hi Steve,
I have the same problem as Robin above..I purchased your mid section makeover and then no contact. Paypal receipt # 6C820843J56376735.
Thanks
Peter,
Did you get Midsection Makeover? If not, let me know.
Steve
Steve, I bought your F4X workout guide and have been doing it diligently for almost 5 weeks. Just doing the basic workout has changed me physically. I had a routine I already had been doing for 20 years. Something a football player showed me. But F4X is just amazing! All I have is two 45lb dumbells and a piano bench. I’m bigger, lighter, stronger and I feel incredible! Thank you sooo much!!!
