An Idea For Everyone???

[swanso5]

I've had a thought of maybe all of us here make up some sort of book or something that maybe shapefit can sell and we get some proceeds as wella s be published authors...

we could do a chapter each on various topics (strength, cardio training, competition, diet, female training, training older clients etc) that we are well versed on

once we have an outline then maybe bossman can put it to admin and se if it has a future?

"real people, real training" as a working title??

what do we all think?

Nah - too many difference of opinions out here.....writing a book is serious business, takes a lot of effort and money. I have a "finished" book and can't get off the mark to publish and market it (not Fitness related by the way) Unless you've got $10,000 to publish yourself??

It might be entertaining though.

A "Best of Shape Fit" might make an interesting document. It would have to be intelligently organized and spelling and grammar would have to be brought up to literary standards (we slip a bit sometimes). I don't know how much appeal the document would have, but that is the only "doable" book that I think could come out of these fora.

well that would be the beauty of it, it's wide audience appeal

well i was thinking shapefit would get probably most of the proceeds and they would pay for it

it could be a sort of promotion for them of sorts as in "these people are just like you, they work, they have families etc, they are on our forum so come here, look around and spend your cash on our other products too" type of thing

I've decided to buy a motorcycle and I'm going to affix a unicorn horn to the front of helmet, possibly a rainbow mane across the back, though I am still undecided on this point.

That is a really good idea, Swans. Nothing in it about ketosis though. I joke about working certain muscles that I think shouldn't get 'special' attention, but it's not going to kill you to do 40 bicep curl variations 2 days a week. Ketosis should be left to professionals (:

Buy an Italian bike. A Moto Guzzi, a Ducati or an Aprilia, and full leathers (looks hot, feels hot).

If you are going for the look (unicorn) then special order the leathers with the rainbow.

...The MAN IS A GENIUS. I would read anything you would write, Packsy poo!!

Then read this:

I want her body! Did you train her Packsy Poo?

The Bike looks HOT!

If someone gets the book concept going I will volunteer to edit interim and final copy(s)....since I wouldn't have anything otherwise valuable to contribute

I nominate Lesplease and Packsy Poo to provide entertainment (humor), Boss Man along with Cassie as the Food Consultants, Cassie and Swanso (styles, good cop/bad cop) for Strength Training - and as exercise consultants for final copy, Lynne and Nokie as Co- Motivational Directors - Boopster/Cassie as Competition Experts, Bonnie as the text Translator, and last but not least Oscar Madison, the Review Board stalking in the shadows keeping an eye on us all!
