Reviewing Blogger Proof Workout

Let’s face it — being a blogger is not going to give us six-pack abs, pecs of glory, not even biceps the size of baseballs. Besides being a time drain, there’s no physical movement, unless you count getting up to go to the fridge and grab a soda or something.

Israel, a.k.a. Fat Man Unleashed, has written a short and very enjoyable book designed to get us into shape. It’s called Blogger Proof Work.

His approach is very practical and I must say funny to some extent. Among the titles he’s given to exercises, my favorite is “Weirdo Walking With Chair Routine”. Just picturing it in my head cracks me up! Other exercises include:

• Chair toss squats
• Paying the piper of information technology
• Laptop twists
• Laptop presses
• Laptop skulls crushes
• and others

While these may sound humorous, when you put a little effort into them, I don’t think you’ll be laughing much because they do present a challenge.

Looking at Israel’s efforts over all, I have to say that I think he has shown yet again you can differentiate yourself from other bloggers with a little desire and creativity. He picked something he knew and he knew it well. He was into weight training a number of years ago and fell off the band wagon, as it were. So he took the desire to get back into shape and molded it into something he could share with others. In so doing, he generated enough excitement to get other well-known bloggers to respond, like ProBlogger, ShoeMoney, and many others.

He continues to offer his advice and unique approach by providing useful posts on his blog that I recommend checking out.

So while you’re blogging away looking for something that will help get your blog to the next level of exposure, consider what Israel has done…and do a few laptop twists.
