■ BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT “OLD MAN FITNESS” in Hollywood

By Coach Paul Musser

Iwas a 62-yearold, “used to be.” I used to be a US Marine Officer. I used to be a 300 PFT’r (perfect Marine Corps Physical Fitness Test Score). And, I used to be fit. I had all of the excuses known to mankind through my 62nd birthday. “My hips are bothering me, no more running;” “I didn’t sleep well,” take the day off… and on and on. Too numerous to count.

When I turned 63 years of age, no more excuses; I was tired of being a “used to be.”

I now know what it takes to limit the ravages of age and inactivity. I now know how to overcome excuses, and you can learn, too. It takes GREAT effort to remain consistent every day, which will reap GREAT results.

Here is an example of a way to grind out fitness.

1. Wake up early (before 0500) 2. Do something vigorous & physical (push-ups, sit-ups, Flutter Kicks) 3. Consistency every day requires persistence. You only have to do this on days ending in “Y.” 4. Thirty (30) days is your starting goal. After thirty consecutive days (no days off), you have established the habit. Think of the Grand Canyon. Look what a trickle of water did over time. EVERYDAY!

A GREAT result is an inevitable conclusion when it is a persistent, consistent effort towards a stated goal, ALWAYS.

Make your goal clear, concise, and understandable to everyone. I will help you with forming the goal. I will help you put the program in place to achieve that goal. It will be simple. But, it will not be easy. It will be all about you! Please email me at coachmusser@
