Witness an observation from an anonymous reader:

“Love your emails.
One thought – that may help some of your subscribers…
I love to play team sports. I play football once or twice a week.
If I don’t show up, I let people down, I love the game and it is great cardio.
On a Monday, I play at a 5 a side place called goals. They have a group plays there just before my gamer called Man v fat. It is probably the only exercise these men do… but they are all motivated.
The motivation of team sports, to be there, be fit enough to really play your part, I think it is so beneficial.
Some of your readers may agree?
Any how, happy Monday, hope you are hitting your goals and your growing family are thriving.

I must concede I’d hitherto not given any consideration whatsoever to team sports being a powerful driver for men (and maybe women) to get strong(er) and (more) in shape.
Why?
Because I’m a cantankerous eremite who would rather scoop out his eyeballs then eat them than charge around a muddy field “with the lads” on a Wednesday evening.
That’s not to say I look down on those who do enjoy that sort of thing.
Quite the contrary, I respect them greatly.
Loneliness is at an all time high. Understandably so, given the way the digital has supplanted the physical almost everywhere (working from home, online gaming – even the gym is not immune now 90% of people listen to music or podcasts instead of talking to others).
Yet instead of whinging about how isolated they feel while tucking into a tub of ice cream, these bold souls decided to do something about it and get fitter in the process.
Certainly a choice worthy of commendation.
However.
I would be lying if I said playing football or whatever is enough to keep in good nick.
It’s not by a long shot.
More:
Absent a complementary programme of resistance and cardiorespiratory training, performance is greatly diminished and the risk of serious (potentially sport-terminating) injury skyrockets.
Combined, we arrive in the scenario articulated by my astute reader where you simply aren’t “really playing your part” to the point that you are probably a burden on your fellow team members.
Fortunately, putting together an efficient, effective, and, most importantly, unobtrusive routine for getting strong and in shape is relatively straightforward.
The catch?
You have to know how to do it correctly, as there are a great many mistakes you can make along the way (often unknowingly), any one of which can result in you spinning your wheels getting progressively more frustrated until you hurt yourself or quit.
Enter my three month programme called “Silver Era Secrets” which explains everything, and gives you all the additional support you could possibly need to put what you learn into action.
The fee is £1200 which I appreciate is a fairly large amount of money.
All the more reason to carefully read the entirety of the below-linked letter to ensure your decision is an informed one:
