Building Abs

Let’s just refer to our characters at Brother A and Brother B today.  Brother A being 28 and Brother B being 26 at the time of this story.  Summer was approaching fast and both Brothers were going to be living at the beach for the season.  Knowing that they would be wearing swimsuits to the beach practically everyday, they both wanted to get fast abs by the time they were ready to leave for the beach.

So Brother A who is the stubborn one of the two decides that he doesn’t need any help and he “knows” what to do to get fast abs.  Brother B is more time cautious than his brother and chooses to research things up front whenever he starts something.  Neither Brother has been active at all over the last few years and both have gotten overweight!

Brother A proceeds to go to the local gym and sign up for a monthly membership at about $50 a month to try and get fast abs. Brother B makes less money than his brother does and can’t afford a gym membership, so he will have to work out at home.

So Brother A starts going to the gym 5-6 days a week for 1-2 hours at a time.  He arrongantly cancels the free training sessions that the gym offers because he thinks that he has all the answers already.  The other Brother decides to surf the web first, does some research, and buys a reasonably priced program that shows him a plan of what to do.

Usually when you sign up for a gym membership you get a few free sessions with a trainer that will show you the basics fo the equipment that the gym offers.   This is good for some people who are completely new to equipment in a gym.

Both Brothers arrive at the beach and Brother A see Brother B in his swimsuit and is amazed at what he sees.  Brother B sports a rock hard stomach and looks incredible.    Brother A gets mad and can’t believe that he was the one that joined a gym, killed himself 5-6 days a week for 1-2 hours at a time, and had nothing to show for it.  As competitive as Brother A is, he never takes his shirt off again that day.

He finally calms down a little and asks Brother B how he got his fast abs.  Brother B explains to his Brother about buying the system online and follwoing it to the “T”.  He told his Brother that without having a plan and knowing the right stuff to do, the right way, he couldn’t have done it.
