10 Reasons to Get Ripped

10-reasons-to-get-ripped

Ask most people and they will agree that they would like to be “shredded” or “ripped” like the people on the fitness magazine covers. I am not talking about bodybuilding magazines, I am speaking of magazines like Shape or Men's Fitness. There are 10 great reasons why you should get ripped and I am going to share those with you today!

  1. You will have healthier internal organs. Fat can cause all kinds of problems in people. I personally know someone who recently passed away from cihrrosis of the liver and this was directly related to the fact that he had a ton of fat around his mid-section. The fat choked off his liver. Getting ripped will mean you eliminate the fat and that will help your internal organs stay healthy.
  2. You will fit better in your clothing. A pound of fat takes up 18% more space than a pound of muscle. Replacing fat with muscle will make your clothing fit better.
  3. You will look better naked. Yes, to some people this is a very important consideration. A nice tight body looks better sans clothing. It is just a fact.
  4. You will be able to tie your shoes without losing your breath. Let's face it…I big gut gets in the way of tying your shoes. You bend over to tie them and you're out of breath before you're done. Getting ripped fixes that.
  5. You will find that people want to touch you. People love to see muscles no matter what they say to the contrary. In fact, when you are ripped people come up and want to touch you. It is an interesting thing to say the least. Who knows what will happen as a result?
  6. Your ego will be stroked. People will be looking at you everywhere you go. That's going to stroke your ego and God knows we all need that from time to time.
  7. Your knees will thank you. By decreasing the fat you carry around you will put less stress on the lower half of your body. Your knees will say thank you.
  8. You will eat better. Because you are in better shape you will want to stay that way. This means you will pay more attention to what you eat.
  9. You will have more confidence. People who are physically fit tend to have more confidence. They carry themselves differently. It is just a fact of life.
  10. You will be more attractive to the opposite sex. It is true. Man and women are attracted to people who are in great shape. Men especially are so visual that a nice tight body is going to attract their attention. Women claim to be turned off by muscles but their actions betray that statement.

Please note that some of these reasons are dead serious while others are all in fun. Now get busy getting shredded.
