Arnold Schwarzenegger made a great observation in a recent article in Men's Fitness. He noted that there are 24 hours in a day ... and setting aside one hour for health and fitness ... requires just 4 percent of your day.

I think about that every day when I go downstairs to work out.

Four percent ...

And with that ... EVERY sorry a$$ excuse I can think of to take a day off flies right out the window.

Who the hell can't set aside a mere four percent to look and feel their best?

And when I look in the mirror ... I see a 100 percent tax free paycheck staring back at me.

Screw You, Uncle Sam ... this one's all mine!

Arnold's observation motivates the hell out of me.

So for whatever it's worth ... I thought I would share it with you too.
