Who can benefit from this book?
Beginning Exercisers
Beginning Exercisers are persons who have never exercised…or who have exercised with weights and/or aerobics for less than 6 months.
Life is too short to try and make all the mistakes yourself. One of the major differences between wise people and foolish people is that wise people learn from other people’s mistakes…as well as from their own. So learn from my mistakes (and those of countless other exercisers over the past 60+ years) instead of simply repeating them like so many exercisers continue to do.
This book can save you years of wasted time, effort, and money by putting you on the right track at the very beginning of your exercise career. When you begin with scientifically proven methods which have also been “field-tested” for decades…you just can’t go wrong.
You can’t build a strong house on a weak foundation and the same is true for exercise. Starting off correctly will provide you with a strong foundation for continued future successes, and this book will show you exactly how to go about doing that.
Intermediate Exercisers
Intermediate Exercisers are persons who have seriously exercised with weights and/or aerobics for at least 6 months.
You have already built a good beginning foundation with what you have done so far. Now it is time to take your exercising to the next level. But what is the next level and what do you need to do to get there? Do you need to exercise more? More intensely? Longer? None of these?
This book will solve these problems for you in a step-by-step fashion. Follow this 12 Week CTTC Exercise and Nutrition Program conscientiously and watch your results soar.
Advanced Exercisers
Advanced Exercisers are persons who have seriously exercised with weights and aerobics for more than one year.
You are already well on your way to a permanent health and fitness lifestyle. CTTC will teach you how to make your exercise sessions shorter…but more effective. Learning how to exercise less…but with better results…will insure that you continue to exercise even when life’s demands eat up most of your free time.
Even if you are satisfied with the results you are getting from your present exercise program, CTTC will provide you with a refreshing challenge to keep exercise interesting and to renew your exercise enthusiasm.
Younger Exercisers
The advantages and benefits for you are basically the same as they are for beginning exercisers…not because you are a rank beginner, but because you have many years of successful exercising and goal achievement ahead of you…if you take advantage of the Principles of Quality Exercise which you will learn in this book.
These principles can be successfully applied to any exercise program you may choose to follow in the future, thereby making them also more effective.
Middle Aged Exercisers
This is it. If you failed to build a solid foundation for health and well-being when you were younger…or you did but have since lost it somewhere along the way…this may be your last chance for future health and happiness…not to mention gaining a better looking body in the process.
Keep putting it off and you may be assuring yourself of becoming a future unhealthy Senior Citizen…and I really hate it when that happens. What a shame it is when people work really hard all their lives and then, when they finally have the time to really enjoy the fruits of their labors, they can’t…because of ill health.
Here are the facts: About 70% of your health in later life lies in your hands right now. So you can either take charge of your health…now…or regret it later. The choice is entirely yours
90% of my baby-boomer friends are former athletes and 90% of them (myself included) are now entering our 60’s in amazingly good health. Why? Because we kept exercising (with the occasional lapse) and we practice health-building nutrition (most of the time). It’s not rocket science.
I retired as a professional acrobat 3 years ago…when I was 57 years young. My former University of Iowa gymnastics coach even remarried at the tender (and healthy) age of 81. What a great role-model he is.
Superior health can be achieved by most people, and this book will show you…step-by-step…how to accomplish this efficiently and effectively. Don’t start tomorrow…start now!!!
Baby-Boomer Exercisers
What can I say…at this point, you either did…or you didn’t. As I warned the Middle-Aged Exercisers:
“Keep putting it off and you may be assuring yourself of becoming a future unhealthy Senior Citizen…and I really hate it when that happens. What a shame it is when people work really hard all their lives and then, when they finally have the time to really enjoy the fruits of their labors, they can’t…because of ill health.”
And it also makes me very sad to burst another mythological bubble…but sometimes it is too late. If you have not let your health and physical condition deteriorate too much, then you may be able to regain most of it. In any case, you can still make amazing improvements in both.
However, if you have crossed The Point of No Return (and everybody has one), then you may have lost your health forever. You can still slow down the deterioration processes a little and you can improve on your disabilities somewhat, but make no mistake about it…your (good) health is gone forever. What you need to do now is to put a positive spin on your misfortune by actively encouraging others to incorporate Quality Exercise and Health-Building Nutrition into their lives now so that they do not make the same mistake…with the same consequences.
For the rest of you, this may be your last chance to avoid the above situation. Grab this chance to start improving your health and well-being and to insure your future happiness. Be certain that you can really enjoy the rest of your Golden Years to the maximum. It’s now or never!! Please make the right decision…NOW.
90% of my baby-boomer friends are former athletes and 90% of them (myself included) are now entering our 60’s in amazingly good health. Why…because we kept exercising (with the occasional lapse) and we practice health-building nutrition (most of the time). It’s not rocket science.

This book gives you all the information you need to begin…or successfully continue…living a healthier, happier, and more fulfilling life. At our age…we deserve it.
Men
If you have a lifestyle where you have no time to waste but still want to look good, feel terrific, perform at your best, and be in superior health, then CTTC was designed specifically for you. It is efficient…it is effective…it is time-saving…and it works. This CTTC program will enable you to exercise less…but with the tangible results that you should expect from your exercise program.
Women
Many times, women have even less time to exercise than men. If you are taking care of a home, kids, the dog, and a (sometimes unhelpful) husband…you certainly don’t have much time left to exercise. And if you are also holding down a job…what the heck were you thinking, girl? I don’t even want to think about the challenges and time-crisis of being a single mom.
However, since you are the most important person in your family, it is also your responsibility to stay healthy for your loved ones. They need you to be at your best…and you owe it them to do so.
If you are still single, you also have a responsibility to take care of the most important person in your life…which is YOU.
Women can realize all the benefits that CTTC provides the men. However, I have also included a chapter called Just for the Ladies which will explode many of the exercise myths which have been responsible for holding women back for so long. This chapter will really open your eyes to the truth about how women should actually exercise for the fastest and best results.
So, if you want to be able to eat more …exercise less …and still look fantastic, then this is the book for you.
Parents & Teachers
How can you possibly teach your children (or pupils) what they need to know about effective Quality Exercise and health-building nutrition if you don’t know the facts yourself?
Several long-time, highly-qualified educators have reviewed this book and have enthusiastically given their testimonials. You can read what some of them have to say elsewhere on this website. Many reviewers and other readers have said that this book should be in every school library.
In addition to my Bachelor of Science degree in physical education from the University of Iowa, I also earned my Teacher Certification from the Iowa College of Education, so yes, I do know how to teach as well.
Give your child(ren) a real head-start on a healthy and successful lifestyle. Cut Thru The Crap of Exercise and Fat-Loss Nutrition will teach you exactly what you need to know.
Other Trainers
This book is a terrific chance for you to take advantage of my more than 4 decades of education and personal training experience…especially if you are a younger trainer. After all, I started exercising and personal training when exercise machines and nutritional supplements were practically nonexistent, so I know about both the “old” and the “new” when it comes to exercise and nutrition.
I have both witnessed and taken an active part in the evolution of Quality Exercise, Health-Building Nutrition, Performance Nutrition, and Nutritional Supplementation during the past 40+ years.
Not everything “old” should be discarded and not all new developments are effective or efficient. You will discover what some of these distinctions are and you will also gain some different perspectives on many aspects of exercise, nutrition and supplementation.
After reading Cut Thru The Crap of Exercise and Fat-Loss Nutrition you will surely give it a place of honor in your professional library, and refer back to it often.
Athletes
This is a terrific 12 week, pre-season, all-around strength and conditioning program. It will give you a real head-start on your competition.
This book will also teach you how to keep your cardiovascular condition at an optimal level by using a minimal amount of aerobic exercise (This technique does not apply to endurance athletes.). This will leave you with much more time and energy to work on the specific techniques you need for your sport.
Many of the athletes I have worked with have been involved in sports that use weight classes, or where bodyweight plays a major role. This means that I was not only responsible for keeping them at their competition weights, but also insuring that they were always able to compete at the highest level of their abilities. Many athletes have to maintain minimum body fat levels combined with maximum strength levels, and also avoid getting sick…all at the same time. This book will teach you the most efficient and effective methods of doing this.
These techniques are also the safest, healthiest, and most effective way for female athletes to keep their body-fat levels under control.
Losing Excess Body Fat
You didn’t get picked to be on Oprah’s, Dr. Phil’s, or one of the other “Weight-Loss Challenges”. So now you don’t get to have a personal trainer on call 24 hours a day, and a personal chef/dietician to prepare all your “weight-loss” meals for you for the next six months. But don’t give up hope! This book may well be the next best thing.
Not only will this book teach you the most efficient and effective ways to lose excess body fat (not just “weight”) but…perhaps even more importantly…how to keep the fat off permanently without having to exercise for hours every day and having to diet for the rest of your life.
The real reason that stupid diets and “weight-loss” exercise programs fail is that the people who dream them up do not really understand how the human body truly reacts to food…and how the human body actually uses body-fat for fuel.
Isn’t it more logical and reasonable to rely on scientifically proven, field-tested principles rather than trial-and-error, hit-and-miss, and old wives’ tales?
How can you possibly expect to be successful
at something you don’t even understand?
Not only what you eat…but when you eat it will determine whether you become overfat in the first place…or not. It will also determine whether you will successfully lose your excess body-fat and keep it off…or not. If you are eating health-building foods, how much you eat is secondary to this.
This is part of the reason that some people “hardly eat anything” and still gain body-fat. They are eating the wrong things at the wrong times and they have thrown their hormonal systems completely out of whack.
Contrary to what most people still believe, there is only one way to effectively, efficiently, and permanently lose excess body-fat…and create a firm, shapely (or athletic) body at the same time. As an extra bonus…it is also the healthiest way to lose excess body-fat as well. This book teaches you exactly how to accomplish this.
Creating an Athletic Body
Many times when I enter a gym for my workout, there will be a couple of younger guys bench-pressing. And when I have finished my workout and am leaving the gym…they are still bench-pressing. What a waste of time and effort!
These guys are actually trying to gain muscular weight (build an athletic physique), but at 60 years old and spending 70-80% less time in the gym than they do, I still have a more athletic (muscular) body than most of them. Why is that? This book will tell you why and teach you how to avoid making the same mistakes.
