Hey Ray,

How are you?

I’m interested in getting your book, but I don’t have an MP3 player. Is there some kind of soft copy in PDF form that I could purchase from your site? I’m really interested, but the whole MP3 thing is a bit of a stumbling block for me.

I really like what you’re doing and respect your credentials. You are obviously the “main man” as we say in Dublin.

Let me tell you where I am at the moment. I used to play rugby (I played prop for over 20 years from the age of 7) and whilst I was always fit, I would have weighed in around 230 pounds at 6 feet tall. A lot of this was muscle, but, I have to admit, there was always a bit of padding around those muscles that didn’t have to be strapped on before a match. Anyway, I had to taper down my rugby activities as my work became more and more important and as I did so, my weight started falling off (due to not doing heavy weight lifting any more and the fact that I increased my aerobic activity.)

I am now at 210 pounds and look better than I did at peak fitness (I played schoolboy international rugby. So why am I telling you this? Well, I want to take things to the next level. I’m still overweight when I look at a BMI chart, but I did get told I had 18% fat when I did a test in the gym and I have a 34 inch waist, which isn’t exactly Orca territory! Since I stopped playing rugby, I’ve got a real buzz out of training myself hard, doing 10k runs, trying to devise circuits for myself. I’m thinking of training for a triathlon and stuff like that.

I suppose I miss the feeling of satisfaction you get after pushing yourself to puking and then saying “ok, I feel great now!”

So this is why I want to buy your book,

I want to push myself onward and upward, but my methods are just really based on pushing myself and basically waking up and going “Jesus, I wonder if I could run x kilometers today? Ah sure I’ll try it and if it doesn’t work out I can always slow down.” I suppose my method is that I have no method and from reading your sight, I think that I could really develop myself with your direction.

It’s a long way of putting a short question.

Can I get a soft or hard copy of fat to fit anywhere?

As we say in Ireland- May you be in heaven an hour before the devil knows you’re dead!

Kind Regards,

Karl In Dublin.

Hi Karl, I’m glad you sent me this letter because I think your problem may have been a stumbling block to more people than I was aware of. I don’t think I stated myself clearly on my product page.

fat to fit is actually both a PDF download and can also be ordered on amazon.com as a softcover. I actually don’t have an MP3 version. I think you must have click the listen to a chapter bit on the site and thought the whole book was an MP3. I actually just put that on there so people could get a sample of what the book is like and hear my voice to know I am a real person!

As for the BMI standard, its crap. It’s the worst thing that some scientist or fitness expert every came out with. When I was in the army is was a standard there too but here is the problem. It only takes your height and weight into account. It doesn’t care if your stacked with muscle and have no fat. If you are muscular but over the number, its says your too heavy and that’s a load of crap. According to the BMI I am obese, check out this article to see what I mean. I am usually around 10% body fat or lower, so obese isn’t the word I would use!

Here is the article: http://www.buildingbodies.ca/general-health/am-I-obese.shtml

Your 18% is great and as you get leaner but keep your muscle, you’re going to look incredible. I like to get my clients to around 15% because its easy to maintain and you still look great too.

I hope you do try the book out and let me give you advice along the way with the free email support I offer to those that purchase the program. Sometimes you need to give things a little tweak!

Here is where you can pick up the PDF download or softcover: http://www.buildingbodies.ca/get-fit.shtml

Hope that sorts stuff out for you, and if you have any other questions, just let me know.
