Jon was 70 pounds overweight, clinically obese, when his doctor informed him that he needed to lose weight........and fast!! or he wold not see his 40th Birthday!!
Jon recalled an infomercial by motivational speaker Tony Robbins, where Tony talked of "modeling" yourself after someone successful to be what you want to be in life. Modeling is the secret that's been used to "reverse engineer" the intelligence strategies of Albert Einstein, the creativity strategies of Walt Disney, the musical strategies of virtuoso violinists, the persuasion strategies of star salespeople, the investment strategies of financial geniuses, the leadership strategies of winning coaches and the medal winning strategies of elite athletes.
So Jon thought, "Why not use modeling to uncover and duplicate the health and fitness strategies of men and women who conquered aging and disease?"
The idea of "modeling health & fitness" made all the sense in the world to him.
But he also realized that the key would be finding the right role models... They say that if you follow the herd, you'll have to step in a lot of manure!
He searched for people who already had what he wanted, so he didn't have to re-invent the wheel, but could simply "copy and paste" what they did.
He looked for some role models just for inspiration... he looked for other role models who had health problems like him but overcame them... And—because the BIG 4-0 was creeping up on him soon—he also looked for role models who achieved fitness excellence and maintained it over time, regardless of how old they were.
His lucky break came when he stumbled onto the work of Clarence Bass, author of "Lean For Life" and the "Ripped" book series and Dr. Richard Winett, author of "Ageless Athletes" and founder of "Master Trainer" magazine.
Here were two guys who knew how to maintain tremendous fitness and super low body fat at over 50 years of age. Clarence was tested at the Cooper Clinic in Texas with 2% body fat when he was 56 years old! Dr. Winett achieved 5% body fat and a 27½ inch waist at age 52!
As impressive as that is, look at his referalls!! :
