Learn to tap into your brain.

You must be in control of your mind at all times. The bible says “you are as you thinketh.” Set your goal, bring it up behind your heart, seal it in and don’t stop until you succeed. You can do anything you want to do in life if you want it bad enough.
 

You must have your goals and your dreams every minute, every hour of the day, seven days a week, 52 weeks of the year. You can't ever stop.
 

You must tune your mind into your body and set your goals. It’s like the magic pyramid and on top of this pyramid are your goals, as nothing can be accomplished without goals.

 

You must have that impossible dream at the top of the pyramid. Have a clear picture of who you want to be, where you want to go, what you want to do.

On the bottom left-hand side of the pyramid you’ve got to have a plan, because you cannot accomplish anything without a plan. You’ve got to organize yourself, form the good habits are the key to success. Poor habits are the unlocked door to failure.

 

It’s wise to get a daily planner and plan your day to help organize yourself and you’ve got to work at it.

You’ve got to live it think it, be it twenty four hours a day.

 

You’ve got to have belief, you’ve got to have enthusiasm, a blazing determination and a burning desire on the right side of the pyramid is persistence. You’ve got to persist until you succeed, and never give up.

 

You can do anything you want to do in life, you can be what you want to be and you can go where ever you want to go. There’s really nothing you can’t accomplish in life if you want it bad enough. You’ve got to want it so bad you can almost taste it in your cheek.

 

 

A lot of people they can go from the first step of the stairs straight to the top step. But you’ve got to start from where you’re at, take one step at a time and persist until you reach the top

 

Climb every one of those stairs until you reach the top. Sometimes you’ll get knocked down, but you’ve got to pick yourself up and keep going and eventually you’ll end up on top.

 


Bob's Tips on Exercise

Exercise is the most important essential to good health. Activity is life and stagnation is death. Action is the law of well-being.

I recommend that people should exercise a minimum of three times a week. If you have time and you can recuperate, you can up that to 4-5 times per week. Recuperation is very important, or else the body and muscles will go flat. 
 

Walking
Walking is probably the best single exercise you can do—because everybody can walk. There are 60 million Americans walking for exercise. Work up to doing at least a minimum of 30 minutes per day 3-5 times per week.


Bodybuilding
For body building or weight resistance training do one muscle group per week. I recommend Monday, Wednesday and Friday or Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, if possible. The muscles build with recuperation.

For this reason it's preferable to work one body part per workout and rest it for a week. For example, one day work your back and chest, another day shoulders and arms, and legs on the last day. Include abdominals and aerobic exercise each time you work out.
 
You shouldn’t take any more than 30-45 seconds in between sets. On the last set of each exercise work the muscle to it’s limit, otherwise the muscle is not going to round out. Try to do the extra rep when you can’t do anymore. For example if you’re worn out at 10, trying to push for 11 repetitions. It’s the 11th repetition that does you the most good. If you’re doing three sets of each exercise, only push for the extra reps on the last set, otherwise you’ll not get through your workout.
