Dedication
I dedicate these books, first, to my wife LeeAnn. She has been with me through the
thinnest of thin, never giving up on my ability to create and flourish. I owe her big time
for her faith in me. (This is only the beginning, Lee!)
Second, I dedicate these books to my parents, Dennis and Joanne. They have bent
over backwards, forwards, sideways, inside out, outside in, up down, you name it, to
support me and what I do. Words cannot even BEGIN to describe how grateful I am to
them. You guys are the best!

What’s In These Books, How To Use Them, Why I Wrote Them
Losing weight and getting fit goes beyond, WAY beyond just dieting and exercising.
Unfortunately, most people don’t see it that way. Or maybe they do, but the power of
instant gratification overrides any creative, solution-oriented thinking. The multi-billion
dollar weight loss industry is all about “Lose weight – NOW!” with apparent apathy
toward the long-term health of their customers.
I wrote this book, my first, with this objective in mind: not only do I want for you to lose
10, 20, 50 or more pounds, double, even triple your energy levels, and have an
unstoppable attitude, I want you to make and keep more money, get more done in less
time, feel better physically and mentally, substantially increase the quality of your life,
and eliminate the hassles of life.
That’s a lot, yes? But you
can have this kind of life. You see, when you take care of
yourself physically, you’re better able to service others, faster and easier, and with no
resentment. In other words, I want you to PUT YOURSELF FIRST. It’s about time,
wouldn’t you say? I mean, you’re running around like a maniac taking care of
everybody and everything BUT yourself, and you’ve paid dearly: out of shape, down in
the dumps, lousy attitude, starting and stopping diet and exercise plans, getting more
discouraged, more out of shape, self-esteem down the drain. It’s a vicious cycle.
But no more.
Taking care of yourself means fueling your body, challenging it physically, and growing
and developing personally and professionally. Hey, we all want to achieve more, more
easily, don’t we? We want more time, more money, more love, more fulfillment,
more things, a better body. But you just can’t do that by only working out and
watching what you eat. That’s only a part of the
whole “You” package.
Let’s look at this another way. If you are the most fit of fit people, and your diet is
impeccable, but your life stinks, you’re more than likely not going to be Mr. or Ms.
Super-Fit for very long. Conversely, if you have a great life but you let yourself go
physically and your health deteriorates, how can you possibly enjoy this wonderful life
with any energy to do the things you want to do?
That is my approach to looking and feeling your best. To cover all the bases, so to
speak, in achieving total physical, mental, personal, and professional development.
Hence, these books.
What You’ll Find In These Books
This volume is divided into three separate books. Briefly, I’d like to introduce them to
you.
BOOK #1: “Secrets ToPeakPerformance Fitness”
Getting ripped off – physically and financially – by the latest get-fit-quick exercise
contraption on the infomercials? In Chapter 1 you get tips and tricks on how to
determine a trustworthy product, and how to buy SAFELY from an infomercial.
Energize! with Chapter 2. We all want more energy, but we have to get our butts
moving to make it happen. Here you get dozens of energy-boosting tips that can
literally double or triple your energy levels in just a month, from exercise to attitude to
aging.
In Chapter 3 you get an incredible plan for flattening your abs in record time. How to
lose your gut, shrink your stomach, even an abdominal workout that takes only 90
seconds a day!
To make your fitness program work, you gotta JUST DO IT. Chapter 4 shows you how
to get started, make time, and… JUST DO IT.
If you’re too far away from a gym, or would rather just work out at home, Chapter 5
gives you dozens of home-training strategies that deliver. How to stick with a home-
training program, the best weightless exercises, getting the best use of your treadmill,
and more.
By now you’re very familiar of the benefits of having a leaner body, i.e. a body with
more quality muscle. But how do you build this kind of muscle? What’s the difference
between size, strength, and tone? How many sets? Reps? How much weight? How
long do I wait before I do my next set? What exercises do I do? Get all the answers
and more in Chapter 6.
Live longer and live well. Chapter 7 shows you how to boost your brainpower, how to
use exercise as “medicine for your mind,” reduce stress, and beat the infamous middle-
age spread.
Okay, let’s see a show of hands… How many of you want to get rid of fat and boost
your metabolism? Maybe I should ask, who DOESN’T want to burn fat and rev up
their metabolism? In Chapter 8, you get over 100 ways to incinerate unwanted flab and
jolt your calorie-burning ability.
Chapter 9 pretty much says it all:
Motivation That Moves Mountains. One of the
largest chapters in the book, this section gives you the kick in the butt you need when
you need it. Most generally everyone KNOWS what to do, how to do it, why we should
do it, when, and where to get fit and strong; but they don’t take action. Knowledge
without action has no teeth. Knowledge with ACTION is true power. Get it here.
Do you feel like you’re going through the motions with your workout and eating plan?
Same thing day in and day out, chicken-chicken-chicken, tuna-tuna-tuna, same
exercises for months, ZZZzzzzzz… Chapter 10 gives you training secretsto take your
program to the highest level possible, so you get the most out of your program and the
fastest results.
In Chapter 11, you get dozens of weight loss tactics to get your body back in the
slimming mode. If your scale isn’t budging and clothes are still too tight, come here for
solutions.
If you’re having trouble losing fat, feeling fatigued, slack off during workouts, and feel a
general physical malaise, you could be sending your blood sugar levels on a daily roller
coaster ride. Chapter 12 shows you why you should control your blood sugar, and
how to do it effectively.
Read Chapter 13 to find out how to minimize the damage of eating out (even make it
healthy) and indulging in your favorite naughty foods.
Most people feel that eating healthy is a royal pain in the neck. In Chapter 14 you get
scores of tips and tricks to make healthy eating as easy as a walk in the park, and
help your body absorb the most nutrients.
If you’re still having trouble feeding your body the right foods, Chapter 15 shows you
how to make your diet work. How to improve your eating habits. Snacking right.
How to eat well and still lose weight. How to bounce back from fad diets.
During times of high stress, many people resort to eating as an escape or comfort from
the daily rigors of living. And this is when the pounds and fat pile on. Find out in
Chapter 16 how to crush cravings, eat on the run, and give your body the nutrition it
needs during stressful times.
Make your nutritional supplements (like your vitamin/mineral complex) work for you
by reading Chapter 17.
Did you know that water can help you burn fat more effectively? Get all the benefits of
water in Chapter 18.
BOOK #2: “Secrets To A PeakPerformance Life”
This book teams with “Secrets ToPeakPerformance Fitness” to help you put the whole
“package” together, so you grow and develop physically, mentally, personally, and
professionally. Remember, physical fitness is only PART of the equation. Think of a
skyscraper. Physical fitness is only a couple of floors built out of the entire structure. If
you want a strong, sturdy, durable, tall building, you need to build it with ALL the
materials.
Chapter 1 gets you started toward building that strong foundation, so you grow and
develop faster. You learn how to set goals, how to create a reserve of energy, how to
simplify your life, and how you can really “have it all.”
Learn about your comfort zone and how you can make it work FOR you instead of
against you in Chapter 2. This chapter is critical for those who are stuck in a rut, and
can’t explain why you’re not taking action on your goals.
So, how DO you motivate yourself? Chapter 3 gives YOU the power (where it should
be in the first place) to do what needs to be done, with a powerful, eye-opening story,
and dozens of ways to kindle your fire of desire to get going.
Okay, so you’ve read the entire book up to this point, and much of it reinforces what you
already know. So now it’s time to JUST DO IT. But how do you “just do it?” In
Chapter 4, you learn just what that phrase means, and how to put it to use. While it is a
simple concept, it is not easy. In this chapter, you’ll find how to make it easier.
To have the health, vitality, and physique you want, to make more money and have a
satisfying, rewarding life, you need to make fundamental changes. Learn what it takes
to make those changes (and a personal challenge from me!) in Chapter 5.
Your body is only an instrument of your mind. Chapter 6 shows you how, with the
right mindset
, you can do amazing things, live the life you deserve, and build an
unstoppable body.
So, when ARE you going to get started building a leaner, energized body and living the
life you’ve always wanted? If you’re like most people, you’re putting this off until “the
right time.” In other words, you’re PROCRASTINATING. Find out how to stop
procrastinating in Chapter 7.
Who’s in charge of your life? Friends, family, peers, creditors, bosses? It’s about time
you took the controls of your life and live it the way YOU want. Do it YOUR WAY by
reading Chapter 8.
To quote chorus line to an old Sesame Street song:
Everyone makes mistakes, oh yes they do
Your sister, and your brother, and your dad and mother, too!
Big people, small people, matter of fact, ALL people
Everyone makes mistakes, so why can’t YOU??
Problem is, most of us tend to dwell on our mistakes. Our mistakes are really
EXPERIENCE, or LESSONS to be learned. Turn your experience into stepping-
stones for future success by reading Chapter 9.
BOOK #3: “Peak Performance Quotes”
Get 45 pages of inspiration, motivation, eye-opening quotes to help you bust through
obstacles, perform your absolute best every day, and live life to the fullest. Need a
spark in your day? Need something to get you fired up in the morning? You get
hundreds of quotes to get you thinking… and MOVING.
How To Get Your Money’s Worth From These Books
You should not merely read these books and put them aside. I am your coach, and
this book constitutes an active conversation between two people… between you, who
wants to have dynamite vitality, strength, and health… and me, who has presented
certain crucial information that will enable you to achieve this goal.
Unlike many books in this general subject area, this “team” of books is dense with
practical information… and my very direct opinions on what to (and not to) do.
Therefore, you may find that it takes you some time to read this book… and that, from
time to time, you find yourself getting irritated with me. Let me tell you why I’m not
worried about these things.
If you really want a leaner, energized body, make more money, get more done in less
time, feel better physically and mentally, substantially increase the quality of your life,
and eliminate the hassles of life, there’s lots you need to know and master. This is not
something you can fully understand over a cup of coffee, or even a weekend. This is
something that requires
desire and a lifetime of commitment.
So, if, now and then, you find yourself getting a little miffed with me either because of
what I’m telling you… or the way I’m telling it to you… I ask that you consider the mark
of a good coach, a coach that’s really worth his money, is his ability to step over
nothing, to tell you what is so, and that this truth that may well make you uncomfortable.
If this bothers you, I’m sorry, but that’s your problem. Try to pay attention to the point
I’m making, why I’m making it, and how I’m making it.
Yes, if you let it, this book can change your life dramatically…
A Few Words About Who I Am And My Role In Your Life
When you pick a personal coach, you want someone who's
* Knowledgeable about motivation, fitness, and personal development issues involved
in achieving your personal best
* Competent, with real experience and results
* Empathetic, and
* Personable.
Garrett holds a BA in Exercise Science from Carthage College (Kenosha, WI), is a
Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist, and is a Coach University-trained
professional coach. He is also a member of a number of national health, nutrition and
fitness organizations, including The National Strength and Conditioning Association,
The International Health, Racquet, and Sportsclub Association, and IDEA: The
Association of Fitness Professionals.
Competence is the intersection of knowledge with practical experience. For over 8 years
now, Garrett has worked with hundreds of people from all walks of life. He has helped
them day-by-day to reach their deeply personal objectives. The results of this
experience can be found in his practical step-by-step personal coaching program, his
The PeakPerformance Life newsletter, and his own health, fitness, and personal
development special reports.
Lots of people report that when they deal with fitness specialists, trainers, or counselors
they are made to feel inferior, like "look at the mess you're in," failing to have that crucial
empathy that is necessary to create both the right environment and the successful
results that emanate from it. One of Garrett's hallmarks is his ability to relate to his
clients, understand why they're where they are, what they want to achieve, and to
applaud their progress, especially when it comes slowly and with great effort.
Transforming your life isn't easy. It's always easier to do nothing than to set a strenuous
objective and work to reach it. That's why success is never effortless and always
meaningful. Whether you're on the demanding road to a rewarding, satisfying life, or a
leaner, energized, great-looking body, it helps to travel with someone who does what's
necessary to make the journey as comfortable as possible, someone like Garrett
Stay In Touch
In these books, like The PeakPerformance Life electronic newsletter I write several
times each week, I invite you to stay in touch with me. These books are not set in
cement; they’re organic, changing. The techniques that I recommend today to help you
achieve vibrant health and a great body and a satisfying, rewarding life will necessarily
be changed tomorrow by new, better processes. I intend to know and use them… and I
intend to
share them with you.
I invite you, therefore, to stay in touch with me. If you got these books through any
other source than directly from me, you are probably not on my PeakPerformance Life
newsletter subscriber list. If you’d like to receive a FREE lifetime subscription to PP
Life, go to my website at http://www.worldpeakperformance.com and enter your e-mail
address for your free subscription.
Moreover, if you’d like me to personally coach you in building a leaner, energized
body, make more money, get more done in less time, and live the life you’ve up to now
only dreamt about, you must let me know. Call me at (520) 219-5163, fax (520) 219-
5257, or e-mail at webmaster@worldpeakperformance.com. I answer my own phone,
and am ordinarily ready to get started immediately helping you.
Final Words
After you’ve had the chance not only to read this book but to begin implementing it, after
you’ve had some success, I hope you’ll contact me to let me know how you’re doing.
You see, if I’ve felt the fulfillment of a rich life and youthful health, I’ve also experienced
its typical frustrations and irritations. I know what you’re going through and for that
reason as you succeed, I want to know… and want the opportunity
to congratulate
you, for you have much to be congratulated for.
Write me soon! I love to hear good news… especially when I may have contributed to
creating it.
