I am competing for a free Fitness giveaway with my story…

by Timothy Singleton on Jul.15, 2010, under Tim's Fitness Fight

The TACFIT Commando system is the perfect system for me because it fits into the Spartan life I have embarked upon. I am 47 years old and recovering from a robbery, a divorce, and subsequently all things I held precious in my life being taken from me. I owned my own ISP which was robbed of all its cash and significant hardware assets while I was on a trip trying to expand the business into other markets. My wife of 13 years who I dearly loved at the time simply said when she discovered the situation, “You should have been watching closer; I want a divorce.” This was on my birthday a couple of days after Thanksgiving 1998.

This is not a complaint as such. Had the previous events not occurred, I would not have been able to see my life and the falsities in it with clear vision. Nothing clears up the senses and creates a clarity of vision like having life ram a red hot poker up your ass and ask, “What is really important now?!?!”

I was left with tremendous bills, no assets, no will. All my furniture gone, my house looked abandoned. Hell, it WAS abandoned; there was no spirit there. I slept there at night but many nights I did not even bother to turn on the lights. It may sound strange but there was a feeling that darkness was safe.

It took me a while, but I finally figured out how to stand and carry my own weight again. I discovered that Ramen noodles were not only cheap, hellfire they were GOOD and kept your belly quite full making it easier to keep gas in the car. A few times I made the mistake of taking help from people, then found out that nearly always help comes with significant chains and obligations; there is a feeling in the help of some who aid that can range from simply being glad to help someone get past a bad spot to the darker versions where feelings of enraged ownership and entitlement to and on your time are not overstated in any way.

Once I learned to live without credit and to be completely self-sufficient on whatever income I was making, I began to realize that it did not matter about the losses of the past. I had indeed bulit a business for a short while that earned me an income that put me in the top .01% of the world’s population. What I did not know at the time was that it was not my talent and business decisions that caused it; it was being born into the greatest capitalistic country in the world where they had artificially driven interest rates into the ground in such a fashion that every middle double digit IQ fool in the universe was becoming a real estate millionaire. My point is, I did not lose a stone castle; I lost a gingerbread house that fell down from the first strong storm.

I am currently building my asset base up in a hard fashion, with much late night research and midnight oil. I work a 40 hour job and I work a 40 hour home based business because I will not be dictated to by the government when I retire. I have discovered that being engaged in rewarding work that you love and that pays you is the same as being retired. Along those lines, I quit bemoaning what I had lost and then turned around and said, “What else can I throw away that will free up MORE resources for investment and debt retirement?” Turns out there was quite a lot that could go. I could easily afford a 52″ top of the line flat panel TV (LCD now?) but since I no longer watch TV at night, my 27″ CRT Emerson with a dead built in DVD player gets turned on maybe once in several months. My labor, my money, my CAPITAL…is precious to me as it represents ammunition in my own personal war of independence from this bastard government. Geez, it is a damn shame Ramen is not so good for you, LOL. I have moved into a basement apartment which is tiny, but includes all the utilities. It does not have central air, but because it is insulated on three sides, it is bearably cool in the summer and bearably warm in the winter. My vehicle is paid for and I now laugh at the pre-approved credit cards and car loans that come in the mail. They get ground up and mixed with wax and stored as future fuel should the world go the way Obama wants it to go.

I say all this to explain WHY I want the TACFIT Commando system. Simply put, I do not know how to train without a gym. This system will teach me that and fits more in line with my wanting to follow a Spartan lifestyle and dig trench after trench of financial insulation against the larcenous tendancies of life against a person’s assets. It will allow me to drop my gym membership once it plays out and put me in better shape to boot. I have no need to be big, as I am never going to play in the NFL. I need to be HARD and I need a system that will layer that hardness in like a swordsmith lays in layers of steel into a blade and then tempers it to keep its strength and so it will hold an edge. I need to voluntarily do to my body what God has done to my mind and heart through events in life.

You choosing me to give the system to helps me access what is clearly an awesome system that has result of much thought and labor. That is what is does for me. What it will do for YOU, is that you will have pictures of a fellow at 5′11″ who weighs 274lbs right now and you will then have that fellow looking like a hard, faceted diamond at around 200lbs after some time on your system to use in your promotions. I say 200lbs because I am 31% bodyfat which means at 199.06lbs, I would be at 5% bodyfat.

The storms over the last ten years as I worked out my character flaws and learned the lessons that a man determined to live on his own feet learn have made me realize that I am not a bad guy in any way and that God sees me and is at times glad of that seeing. It sometimes makes me laugh out loud to realize that I am grateful for those storms because had they never come, I should never have known myself.

The above was my entry into the blog entry contest. I am hoping  Iwill win because I like the system and don’t want to pay for it. I am Scottish in one blood line and it gives me a happy to be cheap.  I also plan to try to wrangle an affiliate relationship out of them, too, because Earthtiger is always looking for products and services that rise to the level of Rearden Steel quality and I believe TACFIT Commando system rises to that level of quality.

    This is the perfect workout for me and I just dumped my gym membership. I’m 44 a mother of 3 and have had 2 disks removed from my neck. I compete in figure bodybuilding and the endless hours of traditional training are difficult for people with a fairly traditional work schedule. I’m an attorney working on litigation matters and have a commute that also has to be taken into account with creating my workout schedule. I would like to someday become a certified trainer so that I can help others overcome physical ailments and live the best quality of life possible. I’m very impressed with the TACTFIT challenges and think that they will work for most people. It’s such a great workout and I’m always looking for “bang for the buck” type movements. This is exactly that. Now, after my 20 minute challenge, I have plenty of time to make the kids’ lunches for the day and get a load of laundry started before I eat breakfast and get ready for the rest of the day.

    Sadly, I have 18 more months on my membership, LOL. Unless I move to an area some distance away from the nearest Gold’s, I am stuck.

    Oh, well. I like the sauna anyways…

    I am 56, and have early onset arthritis and often experience pain in my joints and feet. I have been working out at the gym and walking about 14 miles a week on the treadmill, but I would like to be able to do something at home without weights, especially in the winter, when I can’t get through these mountain passes to the gym due to heavy snow. I think if I had something that I could do without weights and equipment, I would quit the gym and still be in the best shape of my life. I noticed that with exercise, my joint pains have decreased somewhat, and I think that with Tacfit, I can make even more progress. I have only ten years left to retirement from the US Postal Service, and when that time arrives, I want to be able to enjoy life, instead of lying around complaining about aches and pains. Tacfit seems to hold a lot of promise. I may be old, but I am an ex Marine, and I am not lazy!

    I watched it.
    I liked it.
    I wanted it.
    I need it.
    I bought it.
    Now I want it back$
