Truth is, it’s kind of hard for me to admit this here on such a public forum, but it’s also not easy to hide from the truth.

Going where all those judgmental, super-fit people might stare at me while I struggled to get in shape made me feel REALLY uncomfortable and conspicuous.

I didn’t like dealing with the rude, inconsiderate people that always seemed to be in my way there …

… or leaving their sweat on the equipment I wanted to work on and not putting their stuff back where it belongs when they’re done.

Besides all that, I really didn’t have a bunch of extra time to waste in my busy day just getting there and back anyway.

And for what it was, I felt like a gym membership was just way too expensive, especially since I didn’t even like going there.

And since I live in a teensy, tiny city apartment I didn’t *think* there could be an effective way to get in shape at home with my extreme space limitations.

But, then one day, after being miserable and uncomfortable in my own skin and feeling out of control for WAY TOO LONG, I got mad enough at myself that I decided I’d have to find a way to get in shape without the gym.

I knew I had to take control of myself and my life and get my mindset turned around, or the problem was only going to get worse.

I spent a lot of time experimenting with lots of different workout techniques and styles. I had successes… and I had failures.

But I kept at it until I had perfected a system that allowed me to get in the shape I wanted AT HOME with minimal equipment…
