This man is the perfect example

By Elliott | July 28, 2008

I often have parents walk into my gym ( Strength Camp ) and demand that I teach their chubby little tykes how to eat right, exercise and lose weight. These parents think that they can BUY discipline and character for their dysfunctional young demons. What they fail to realize is that they, themselves are the problem!!! Not the kid.

Here is my typical response - “Tell me Helga… who cooks the food in your home?”

Helga - “Well… I usually pick it up on the way home from my baby-daddy’s house.”

Me - “Then what you are telling me is that you don’t provide healthy foods for your children, correct?”

Helga - Fumbling for words and scratching her itchy anus.

Me - “Helga, once you get your fat, Flintstones foot out of your mouth - answer this question for me. How do you expect your children to eat healthy foods and exercise when you are an overweight and lazy woman?”

“You are on 5 different prescription medications for so-called depression, you lay in bed at night - unable to fall asleep, the only water that ever touches your lips is that which you bush your teeth with, the last vegetable you ate was ketchup, you haven’t taken a shit all week, and the whites of your eyes are gray.”

My advice is - Be who you would like your children to be. They are your mirrors, whatever YOU ARE will most likely be reflected in them. AND no one can do this for you, not their teachers, not the church, not me - NO ONE, but you.

Below is a video of Dave Zillig and his son Sean training at Strength Camp. Dave is a perfect example to his son. He doesn’t just talk the talk, he walks the walk - and it is reflected in Sean’s character. Sean is a responsible, disciplined and athletic 13 year old… by design! (By the way, Dave just returned from a mountain climbing trip in Colorado! The man never stops… guess who will be just like him?)

***Be sure to read the bottom of this post after watching the video. I have important news for you.***

ATTENTION:

Admission into my Strength Camp programs are getting tighter. With my recent expansion and program offerings I have been inundated with “tire kickers” - people who thing it might be cool to join Strength Camp but are not COMMITTED to it. Free trials will be eliminated and there will be an application and interview process for membership. This will all take effect in September. If you are interested in joining my programs and would like to avoid the ensuing “Velvet Rope” - send me an email at strengthcamp@gmail.com to learn how you may be able to “get in”.
