My main source of motivation is Scooby’s Home Workouts on his You Tube Channel. Scooby is a home fitness and bodybuilding guru and an engineer like myself. He is also a big enemy of the supplement industry and I agree with him totally. I can’t even begin to count the amount of money I spent on supplements over the past 10 years and the majority of them were bunk. Scooby’s advice is simple, you don’t need to spend money to get into shape. A little hard work, good nutrition and setting your expectations are all you need.
The only thing I don’t completely agree with Scooby on is his philosophy of home bodybuilding. I have tried to workout at home before and there are just too many distractions to pull me away from a good workout. At the gym, that is all there is for me to do so I workout hard, I get out of the house and I don’t spend a huge amount of money to do this. It is a tiny fraction of even what I spend on groceries in a month. I will say this. If you follow Scooby’s advice, you will spend more on your grocery bill. Healthier whole foods tend to cost more than your average foods but in the end you’ll feel better, you won’t be hungry and you’ll get off all those dirty supplements. The only supplements I recommend are a good protein shake and maybe creatine if you are an advanced bodybuilder. I do recommend BSN Syntha 6 protein because it is the best protein I have tried so far. It is a blend of different types of slow and fast burn proteins to sustain me longer. That being said, if I were to find a better protein that met my needs at a cheaper price, I’d toss Syntha 6 right out the window.
Scooby has moved his Blog and Web site over to WordPress and it looks fantastic. His Web site is full of calculators, embedded videos that are related to the content and a lot of great advice. I really enjoy his Wall of Shame where he rates these infomercial products that “guarantee” to give you six-pack abs and help you lose weight.
Everytime I need motivation to workout, I watch one of Scooby’s videos.
