To Fitness Made Simple,
My name is Antonio. I am presently 52 years
old and feel 25!! I think I look younger than my age to because of
making a decision to be
healthy and hopefully living a longer life than my parents did. By
the wrong doing of their lifestyle with eating a lot of fatty foods,
smoking
and heavy drinking they died at a very young age. My father died at 56
and had been though cancer and 27 operations in a two year time and 3
heart attacks. I feel if my father knew how to take care of himself
better by eating right and working out he probably would have lived a
longer and healthier life. My mother died a year later at the age of
42. She was a heavy smoker, didn't exercise and had put on a lot of
weight. She got sick with the flu and passed away two days later.
I lived pretty much their lifestyle of
eating anything and drinking heavily because that is the way I was
raised. Years went by and I had put on some weight and felt and looked
out of shape big time. I knew I had to take control and get some kind
of exercise so I ordered the FMS video. Now I am 52, feel fantastic
about my physical and mental condition. I have much to learn but love
the outcome when I set a new fitness goal and see it be achieved.
I am attaching my after pic taken with my
video camera after a workout. I am looking to achieve greater results
in the future.

I'd like to tell you how the
Fitness Made Simple program contributed to the significant
change in my physique. My desire to lose weight and get in shape became
most critical when, at age 13, I hit a peak of
215 lbs on my 5'9" frame. It was at the end of
8th grade, preparing to enter high school that fall, and I wanted to
play on the football team. With football camp a few months away I knew
I would never get through it if I didn't begin to get into shape.
With the help of my parents I began a
healthy diet and we joined a fitness club for exercise. I started to
lose weight through a combination of diet and exercise and, although I
still had more to lose, I was able to get through fo otball
camp and join the team. I then saw John Basedow's infomercial and how
great he looks and I decided to order his tapes Fitness Made
Simple: Unlock Your Potential and Sixpack Abs.
I was able to incorporate these tapes into my fitness regimen and, as an
added advantage, they are beneficial in my off-season football training
as well. I am extremely happy with the results of using these tapes. When
I look in the mirror I still can't believe it's me. With the
help of John's programs I was able to bring my physique to a higher
level of definition and I have made them part of my regular workouts.
It is now 2 years since I started my fitness
program and I weigh 145 lbs!
As you can see from my photos I am in the best shape I could be. My
life has changed so much. I am full of energy and confident about how I
look. When I look back I realize how getting in shape was very
difficult in the beginning but, with the help of people like John
demonstrating that it can be done, I was inspired to keep trying. With
this in mind I am hoping that my story can inspire other teens to
use the Fitness Made Simple programs to lose
weight and get into shape. With the number of overweight teens hitting
an alarming rate, hopefully my story could be a "wake-up call" and put
others on the road to fitness and good health.
My deepest thanks to John and
Fitness Made Simple !!
Sincerely,

Dear John:
Thank you for your program. I am on my third week, feeling leaner
already. As a manual rehabilitation therapist, I have been passing the
word along to my clients as well. Getting in great shape is something I
could not do before with other techniques but this is spelled out so
definitively that I can only win here. Good things sometimes come to
good people. I hope the very best for you.

Hi
Guys,
I
want to thank you for everything you have done for me. It's more than you
know.
I
don't think I have to say anything about how this has changed my
physique. The pictures speak for themselves. My goal was to improve my
abs. The "Six Pack ABS" video did just that.

Now I
am following, quite successfully, a modeling career, which was my main goal
from the beginning. I have just been a featured in the StudioM521 model
website.
You
guys made me busy and successful.
Thank
you, Flaviu Strongsville, OH

John,
Hi. My name is Jonathan Orr and I just
wanted to let you know that your nutritional insights and training tips
helped me achieve a body I never thought possible. I'm proud to say
that I have dropped my body fat% from an unhealthy 23% to an
unbelievable 7% and have experienced gains in energy,
strength, stamina and endurance that are indescribable. With the aid of
your Six Pack Abs video I've achieved the
physique and positive mindset I've always wanted but was never able to
achieve before. Anyway I just thought I'd let you know that your
work made a difference in my life and that I greatly appreciate what you
have done for me and so many others.
I've attached my before and after photos so you can see the results for
yourself.

Good Day Mr.
Basedow,
I just wanted to take
the time to write and express my thanks for sharing your knowledge with us
little people. I’ve actually ordered your videos more than a year ago but
got sidetracked and was off the program for a while. I picked it back up
in the last month and I have been very pleased with the results. It's
true that our results are based on our own discipline but you have
provided me with an incredible foundation to work with. I’m a 24yr
Chinese male and in my past I’ve had difficulty understanding how to build
up (especially my arms and chest) and trim down. It’s difficult to afford
a personal trainer so I was at a loss as to what to do.
I’m of average size and
I’m OK relative to being in shape, but I still had a little gut and much
muscle room to grow. So within the past month my shoulders have grown, my
chest expanded, and my arms are rock hard with more mass. I must say it’s
been the toughest for me to expand my arms for quite some time and now
FINALLY I have!
My friends have all
given me different compliments...“Wow, you’ve been working out!”...“Geeze
Art, you’re crazy!”. Even my parents have been
showing me off like, “Look at my son!”. For my Chinese circle there are
not many buff guys to go around. And my personal favorite...“Your
shoulders remind me of those buff Mutant Ninja Turtles”. My gal friends
are definitely impressed and I’ve noticed stares in my direction from some
workout situations. Even my martial arts buddy has complimented my arms
now and, coming from his standards, that actually means something.
And the best part was
seeing one of my ex-girlfriends (still friends) and she straight up said “Geeze,
you look so good I almost regret letting you go!”.
Ha ha, she said “almost”, but we had
our issues. Regardless, that made my day!
I don’t have an updated
picture to send yet but I haven’t reached my goal yet either - which is to
look like YOU! Nonetheless it has been your workout ethics and
insights that have helped me to build a perfect
foundation for myself and with that I believe I can do more things I place
my mind on!
Thanks Again!
Sincerely,
Arthur

Hi JB,
I wanted to let you know the gym where I workout is putting my picture
up on
the wall and starting to use my photos to help promote their
facility. I know I still need some work but everyone around me said I
was inspiring them to workout so I had the photos made. I will send
you a couple of photos if you want to use them. I wanted to thank you
for creating FITNESS MADE SIMPLE and for
your words of encouragement from your last email. If I have
inspired others I tell them they need to take a look at your website
and your philosophy so they know who inspired me and what system I
follow.Thank you,
Tim Cabot, AR
