WEAR A COAT DAY

MIND

William Henry Harrison 1773

*Everyone told Harrison that he was too old to be president, so he wanted the world to see that he could handle a freezing day without a coat or hat. It cost him his life, but he showed them. Remember that you have nothing to prove to anyone but yourself.

BODY

Michael B. Jordan 1987

“I hated it. You know, at first you feel like shit, you’re hurting. When things start getting a little easier, when you start lifting weight you never lifted before, when you start bench-pressing 225 pounds 10 times and it ain’t nothing, and then you start giving hugs to girls and they’re, like, feeling you up a little and you think, ‘What’s this?’—then it’s, ‘This is all right.’ So I learned to love it when I started seeing results.”

The sessions combine cardio and circuit training to melt fat off the abs while tightening them, and each muscle group is trained with volume for a maximum pump.

*After this Michael B. Jordan workout, find someone to hug and see if they notice the results. Watch Creed for motivation. 

SOUL

Mia Farrow 1945

Grounded in her human-rights work, Mia Farrow can look back at another triumph—the loving home she created for 14 adopted and biological children.

*What work grounds you? What can you look back at as another triumph?

MONEY

Charlie Day 1976

“I don’t think you should just do what makes you happy. Do what makes you great,”

“Do what’s uncomfortable and scary and hard but pays off in the long run…Let yourself fail. Fail and pick yourself up and fail again. Without that struggle, what is your success anyway?”

*Don’t wait for your break. Make your break. Make it happen for you.

ENTERTAINMENT

Joe Pesci 1943 – watch Goodfellas

*Watch Joe Pesci win an Oscar in Goodfellas

FOOD

John Kruk 1961 – The Kruker

THE KRUKER

Cheesesteak with American, Fried Onions, Ketchup, Mayo Kruk played 10 seasons in the majors, with the bulk of that time being spent with the Phillies and had a career .300 average, but by the looks of it, his cheesesteaks may be just as good as his hitting. *Make yourself a Kruker – unless you live in Philly, then go get one at Kruk’s Philly Steaks. Eat it while watching Charlie Day in It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

SNUB – Saquon Barkley 1997

Review –

• You have no one to impress but yourself
• Creed workout
• Have work that grounds you
• Make your break
• Watch Goodfellas
• The Kruker

THINK ABOUT SEX DAY

MIND

Nick Nolte 1941

“When you start thinking about death more than sex, you know you’re getting old.”

*Think about sex more than death today.

BODY

Klay Thompson 1990

“On the court, we practice for about an hour. After, I’ll shoot for about 30 to 45 minutes. Then I’ll lift for about 30 to 45 minutes. So nothing too crazy during the season. I’m probably in the gym on a non-game day for about 2 1⁄2 hours.”

*It helps to have access to a gym with a basketball court, to combine a shooting workout with some lifting afterwards like a true Splash Brother.

SOUL

Bethany Hamilton 1990

“The way I see it, putting our faith in God is something that each person has to come to on his or her own. It’s your own personal relationship with Him; a bond that’s as unique as a fingerprint.”

*I could not agree more. Your bond with God is as unique as your fingerprint. Amen! A great message for your soul from the Soul Surfer.

MONEY

Gary Coleman 1968

Coleman obtained wealth and fame only to have it taken away by those who claimed to love him the most. And when his wealth and fame went away, he struggled to find a life in the normal lane with a regular job and income.

*Fame and fortune without good money management skills or the ability to hire the right advisers just means your money problems are more expensive.

ENTERTAINMENT

James Dean 1931 – watch East of Eden

*Watch James Dean almost win an Oscar in East of Eden

FOOD

Julio Jones 1989

A signature meal for Jones is lamb rib chops topped with an Asian glaze made out of honey. Jones is a big salad eater, only if topped with the cilantro-lime vinaigrette dressing. A fruit salad typically consists of papayas, passion fruit, strawberries and blueberries — all Jones’ favorites.

*Eat like NFL superstar Julio Jones. Lamb chops, salad, and fruit salad for dinner tonight.

SNUB – John Williams 1932

Review –

• Think about sex more than death
• Shoot like Klay Thompson
