Alan shared a shirtless photo on Instagram and said, “I get asked daily about my workout regimen. I don’t have time to answer the workout related questions I get. But I know it’s on a lot of people’s minds. So I think it’s time I let you in on what I’ve discovered. Ready for the secret? Here it is: ⁣I don’t have a secret.”

“I’ve got my own bodily goals and aspirations – things I’d like to achieve. I’m not there yet. Everybody is different in this way and every body responds differently to exercise and diet. But there is one universal truth when it comes to reaching your physical goals. Whether it’s losing weight or adding muscle, one principle remains the same…⁣ There is no substitute for hard work; no powders, no goos, no fancy shoes will get you where you want to go without it,” Alan said. “If you want to lose weight or lean out – put out more than you take in and make your heart beat harder than it did yesterday. It’s that simple. Doesn’t matter how you get there.”

“If you’re trying to bulk or add strength, put more strain on your muscles than you did yesterday. It doesn’t matter how you get there,” he said. “It’s my suspicion that most people ask for ‘the secret’ because ‘not having it’ gives them an excuse to wait. But what you need, you all already have. It’s not sold in stores. The only way to get it is to start doing it. Work.”
