Ed – I sympathise. The caveman gags (”shouldn’t you be eating with your hands?” etc) do start to wear a bit thin. I still evangelise to certain people who are genuinely interested and for the most part ignore the comedians. So far I have resisted the temptation to carry round a club with which to deliver the obvious punchline

I have just about decided to stop trying to spread the good word about primal/evolutionary fitness. I have never been heavy handed or pushy about it, but even so, more often than not I get reactions that irritate. “Oh, so you’re on the Atikins Diet.” “Not even whole grains!” “So why do you shop at the grocery store…shouldn’t you be hunting for your food?” “What, you think cave men drank Miller Lite?” “That’s wierd…have you ever tried colon cleansing?” My tongue is sore from all the biting.

I started a 100 day burpee challenge, similar to the one done by Crossfit Santa Cruz. I wanted to come up with a way to try and get a group of people to try a challenge and use the group atmosphere to give them support and to help them stick with it. I sent an email to all my friends. So far, I have about 20 people doing the challenge and most of the people are using it as a way to jump start their own fitness program.

Here’s one I have always found to be important:

Keep it Simple

…at least to start off with. I have found that with some friends the list of things they need to change or do to get themselves in a good spot is so long that addressing them all at once over-faces them and leads to failure. These days I just pick 2 or three of the ‘biggies’ and just bite my tongue in relation to the remaining things that need changing so as to avoid confusion and demoralisation…
