There are many ways to become a fitness model; none of them and a combination of them all will probably be the way you get there, if you do, but there are a few simple steps to take: we’ll call it “The Idiots Checklist for How to Become a Fitness Model,” and it starts with perhaps the most dunderheaded beginning of ‘em all.
To become a fitness model you must:
Get Fit: It’s no secret that a lot of us have an inaccurate self image; the short think they’re tall, the repugnant think they’re charming, the evil think they’re kind; so it should come as no surprise that some people think they are “fit” when they are. . . Not so much. And “fit” doesn’t only mean “thin.” Of course while thin is a starting gate, you must also represent “fit.” Okay, so, what does “fit” mean to you? Well, for starters, good diet and exercise. You’re not trying to be Kate Moss here; I would not call Kate Moss fit at all; think more along the lines of Patty Duke. Remember you’re trying to represent fit for the world. So what does the world think fit is? Well I can guarantee you that alcohol and drugs don’t fit. Nor does sexual promiscuity, multiple partners, or hanging your baby out a window.
You’ve gotten fit; now develop an image: This is the you that you want to sell to the world. What is it about you that makes you, you? We all know Geared lost a thousand pounds eating Subway sandwiches; we’ve all heard John Edwards talking about “Two Americas” for the last eight years; but what have you done lately that stands out? Why should people want to emulate you? Because that’s what fitness models are: squeaky clean on the outside and able to withstand close inspection on the inside.
Get a clue: Where, where you live, is there a need for a fitness model? Do you live in Dubuque and want to go straight to Del Mar? Take baby steps to discover where your message would fit best in your local community; then move to the last
Get outta Dodge: Once you’ve established some local street cred, done a few events at the Mall, hung out with some fire fighters, done some community service, planted a tree, saved a stranded kitty, sung the National Anthem, and compiled all this into a press kit, then you’re off! New York, Los Angeles, Miami, Chicago, or maybe right in your own town. Find your spot, settle in, and look for rent control.
Becoming a fitness model is hard work. You’ve got to improve yourself and understand why, improve your community and understand how, before you improve the world. Only then will you understand your life’s work as it’s always been, as a fitness model.

There are so many cases to be tried, if you use your delay tactics right the policeman that is to testify against you in court may forget about your case or get transferred from that area. One advantage of delaying your court case is that the longer the delay, the easier it becomes for you to get off the hook, since the cop may not really remember all the necessary details again.
