Why "WWGPD?" Actually Worked

I know what you're thinking, "what the hell is "WWGPD?" "WWGPD?" was an off-the-wall form of fitness motivation that was used by my former business partner and I, and it actually worked.

Yeah, thats the acronym...it probably doesn't make sense to any of you reading this, but hear me out.

First off, who's this Gregg Plitt guy? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kx_EzEO8eew
Gregg is a trainer and fitness model from Baltimore that many of you have probably seen gracing the covers of many a fitness magazine as well as starring in the former Bravo reality series "Workout." Secondly, I do like women! I am just a fan of the fitness and fitness modeling industry and am envious of people that excel in the discipline, so relax! "Not that there's anything wrong with that though."

Anyway, here is what you need to do.

1) Find someone with a similar body type as you that you admire simply because of their physical make-up. Looks, personality, nor wealth should have no bearing on this decision. This person does not even have to be famous or known. Just be realistic, if you are a five foot tall female weighing 200 pounds, do not select Marissa Miller as your target.

2) Think about how they got that body and think of the sacrifiices that they have made to get there...research it.

3) Plug their initials into the WW_ _ D? acronym

4) Write it down or key it in somewhere you always look. Cell phone, planner, iPod, etc.

5) Every single morning you wake up, think about that acronym and plan how you will incorporate it into your day.

6) When it comes time to go to your workout, read it again and think about what it takes to get what you desire. Don't let anything stop you from completing your workout! If you try to stop short, think about it again! How bad do you want it?

I know this may sound unprofessional or stupid, but I challenge you to try it.

Take measurements before you start your own personal WWGPD? journey. Set a time scale for how long you plan on embarking on this journey. Invite friends to join you (find that "model" for each of you). Have fun with it and be amazed at how incredibly stupid this is but how incredibly simple this is and how incredibly persistant you will become with your strict dieting and exercise routine.

I'd love to know who is in your acronym and why you chose them. Update me on your progress and let me know what you think of this form of motivation. Like I said, it's not particularly scientific or professional, but it's effective and that's what matters most!

  1. Mine is definitely Jillian Michaels. She's tenacious, strong and makes very healthy choices. Plus, she's a beast when it comes to working out.

    WWJMD?
