"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

A really good way to lose weight is by doing high reps. You want to do 3 sets of one exercise. But, the trick is, once you finish the set you move to the next exercise and you don't do all 3 sets in a row. You move from machine to machine. So, you finish one set of lets say 12 exercises, then you do 5 minutes of cardo. Then do it all over again. This is known as Circuit Training.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Circuit training is glorified cardio. Yeah, you'll lose weight, a lot of muscle weight along with the fat. Not good if you're "cutting up".

That sounds some **** from the 80s that came out of some cheap magazine as the newest gimick back in the day. Empty morning cardio on an empty stomach for 20-30 mins is enuf
