That's be better today than you were yesterday. It's a simple concept. One sentence to grow around. But I didn't think that sounded nerdy enough. If I'm gonna run a website called Nerd Fitness, I have to come up with a cooler, nerdier tag-line than that. So that sentence became, "Level up your life, every single day."That's a simple concept and it breaks down into whatever aspect of fitness you're hoping to accomplish. If you wanna be stronger, if you can find a way to lift one more pound
great, incredible story. So we're gonna back up a little bit. Staci works as an email marketing manager up in Boston. Back in August of 2009, this is about a year before she discovered Nerd Fitness, she weighed 172 pounds.On top of that, she had a body fat percentage around 35 to 37 percent, according to her doctor.

It's a really good question, because if you guys think about, say, Isaac Asimov-- I don't know if anyone here is familiar, if there's any science fiction nerds in the audience, but I'll confess to being a science fiction nerd .There's this really sophisticated idea about how robots should behave, and it's deeply ingrained into the science fiction that has come ever since Asimov wrote these down.
And then the way he sounds, it's just how I used to sound when I was growing up. nerdy, and having an Asian uncle with a trendy haircut, I think it's cool.
That was one of the questions later on is, your weaving together so many different sort of characteristics within the same characters. Nerdy, intelligent professor who has multiple PhDs, a slight sort of CIA bad ass, warm, loving husband clearly in a stable relationship. Those things are not often woven together, so how did you sort of prepare to imagine this character as you were getting into it and weaving

It started off being called "Brains," and it ended up being called "Revenge of the Nerds ." And for all of these decades since, people have said, you're the father of the nerds and things of that kind.And I just want to say, if that's what I am, as father of the nerds , I salute this-- the Temple Mount of nerdosity.

of your life if you can and your appearance will follow. So, I started building the concept of Nerd Fitness around that. So that's how it happened, how I decided on the whole concept of Nerd Fitness. It's actually really pretty simple. I had this idea from "300". I had been training, from that point, probably eight years in a gym--two years pretty seriously. I was like, "Well, I'm kind of a nerd . I like fitness. Stick 'em together." I looked it up. Couldn't find any online for a community of folks that worked at a desk job that wanted to get in
I was so inspired by Tony's story enough that I said, "If you get through Level Three man, I'm gonna send you a shirt." And fortunately, he got through it.

I can't wait to get to Level Four." When he gets to Level Four and beats Level Four, he said, "I can't wait to move on to the next Rebel Strength guide." There's another e-book that I put out. And that was his reward
