Hey my friend….. welcome back!
Hey Nino…. as always it’s great to be back!
My friend that being said….. guess what?
Gee Nino…. what is it?
Well my friend as you know since we’ve been together here for about two years now and in that time, we’ve had the opportunity to discuss alot of different topics that many people in our society today, are in desperate need of some guidance on in their lives!
My friend….. wouldn’t you agree with “me” on that?
Gee Nino absolutely….. I couldn’t agree with you more on that… ok!
Nino that being said here I just have to say this to you again…… which is simply this!
Nino I know for a fact here with all of the different topics that we’ve discussed here so far together, alot of people in our society today are living a more “No Excuses” life….. ok!
Nino that being said here…. I’ll be the person to admit that to you today ok!
Well my friend once again here…… I’m so glad that your realizing that ok!
So Nino….. is that the news that you had for “me” today?
Well my friend…. not exactly ok!
Oh ok Nino…. so what is it?
Well my friend I’m happy to report to you today, that I’m going on a little vacation here for a couple of weeks…ok!
Gee Nino that’s GREAT news…. where are you going?
My friend I’m going to Orlando to visit “my” sister, who just moved there a couple of months ago!
Gee Nino that’s awesome…… I’m so happy for you!
Well my friend to be totally honest with you here, this vacation to Orlando caught “me” by complete surprise….ok!
Gee Nino are you telling “me” that this vacation to Orlando to go visit your sister here…. wasn’t planned in advance for you to go!
My friend that’s exactly what I’m telling you… ok!
Gee Nino I have to be totally honest with you here, but it’s very rare that you hear something like this….ok!
My friend tell “me” about it….ok!
My friend that being said here…. would you like “me” to tell you how this vacation to Orlando all of sudden came up?
Gee Nino absolutely… I’m dying to know ok!
Well my friend it was just a couple of days ago here that I received a phone call from “my” sister….. telling “me” that she had a surprise for “me”!
Gee Nino…. I’ll bet that you didn’t expect, to hear something like that from your sister!
Nino….. am I right here in assuming that?
My friend once again here you took the words right out of “my” mouth…. because your absolutely right ok!
My friend that being said…. I asked her what the surprise was ok!
My friend…. would you like to know what ”my” sister’s response was to “me”?
Gee Nino what do you think….. absolutely!
Ok my friend “my” sister’s response was and I quote….. “Hey Nino I bought you a plane ticket to come and visit “me” for a couple of weeks”!
Gee Nino…. I’ll bet here that you were really caught by complete surprise, hearing that from your sister!
Nino once again here…. am I right in assuming that?
My friend once again here….. your right on the money with that assumption ok!
My friend like I said to you earlier…. I didn’t expect to be going to Orlando to go and visit “my” sister, this month ok!
Gee Nino I think if anyone deserves to go on a little vacation here, it’s definitely you without any excuses whatsoever…. ok!
Nino because like you mentioned earlier here, we’ve discussed alot of different topics together so far… ok!
Nino that being said…. this little vaction to Orlando is exactly what you need here to rest your brain, so when you get back you’ll be recharged and ready to discuss alot more topics with “me”…ok!
Gee my friend I’m really glad that you said that here…. ok!
My friend because to be totally honest with you here today, I was a little hesitate in taking this vacation to Orlando at this time… ok!
Gee Nino…. why’s that?
Well my friend it’s just that we’ve been together here, week after week for about two years now…. ok!
My friend that being said here….. I’m really going to miss having you around for these two weeks ok!
Gee Nino that makes two of us here…. ok!
Nino that being said here….. would you please do “me” a big favor?
My friend absolutely…. what is it?
Nino would you please go to Orlando and have a great time visiting your sister, and enjoy the beautiful sites down there….. especially Disney World ok!
My friend I promise you and God that I’ll do just that…ok!
GREAT Nino….. I’ll see you back here in about two weeks ok!
My friend that sounds like a plan….. ok!
Hey my friend…. would you do “me” a favor now?
Gee Nino absolutely…. what is it?
My friend while I’m gone here…. would you please keep your training up ok!
Nino I promise you and God here today…. that I’ll do just that without any excuses whatsoever why I can’t ok!
GREAT my friend…. I’ll see you soon take care ok!
Nino absolutely I will….. and you do the same ok!
My friend I definitely will….. bye!
August 13th, 2008
Hey my friend….. welcome back! My friend…. how have things been with you since I last saw you? Gee Nino I’ll be totally honest here…. things with “me” haven’t been going so well here in the last couple of days!
Gee my friend what’s wrong… are you sick?
Yeah Nino I guess you can say that! Nino to be totally honest here it’s “my” own fault because, I’ve been partying too much here lately with “my” friends! Nino that being said… I think all that partying that I’ve been doing lately, and not to mention ”me drinking way too much alcohol has finally caught up with “me” here today!
Gee Nino that being said…. I have a strong feeling here that your not going to be to happy with “me” today, of what I’m about to tell you next here! My friend I’m sorry to tell you this…. but I think it’s a little late for that ok! My friend because your absolutely right…. I’m already not happy here one bit in what your telling “me” here so far today!
So my friend that being said…. you might as well tell “me”! My friend because I have a strong feeling here that we’re going to discussing this issue, of you drinking alcohol here lately a whole lot more today…. ok! Gee Nino I had a feeling that you were going to say that to “me” here! Ok Nino… well I think all this drinking I’ve been doing here lately has also effected “my” training as well! Gee My friend I’ll be totally honest with you here…. I’m not surprised one bit by what you just told “me” ok!
Gee Nino I don’t blame you one bit here today if you want to stop helping “me”, to acheive “my” “dream body”…. after all that I’ve told you here so far ok! Nino because I’ll be totally honest with you here again today, I’m very disappointed in myself right now!
My friend please STOP right there…. ok!
My friend if you think for one minute here today that I’m just going to throw in the towel and stop helping you to acheive that “dream body”, because of a little set back of you drinking a little alcohol…. guess what?
Gee Nino…. what is it?
Nino because I’ll totally understand today if you want to STOP helping “me” here week after week! Nino because if I were you….. I certainly would and I wouldn’t think twice about “my” decision either! Well my friend I have some news for you….would you like to hear it?
Yeah Nino absolutely…… because the way that I’m feeling about myself right now, I could definitely use some good news at this point!
Ok my friend listen up….. because I definitely want you to hear this! My friend it was just last week when I said to you again, that your really starting to think along the same lines as myself! My friend…. do you remember “me” saying that to you by any chance? Gee Nino absolutely how could I forget that……. you’ve only been telling “me” that here for the last couple of months!
Well my friend it certainly seems like to “me” this week that you’ve taken a vacation, from thinking like “me”! My friend…. wouldn’t you agree with “me” on that assumption here this week? Gee Nino I’m sorry but I’m going to have to disagree with you here.. ok! Nino because I definitely think that I’m still on the same page with you here this week, as far as thinking like you….ok!
Nino that being said….. what makes you believe here this week that I’m NOT thinking along the same lines as yourself?
Gee my friend it’s quite simple….. would you like to hear it?
Yeah Nino absolutely……. because like I said I certainly don’t see that being the case here at all this week ok! Well my friend I have a strong feeling here that your assumption of you still thinking like “me” here this week, is about to change…. ok! My friend simply because of the fact of what you just told “me” here….. a couple of minutes ago!
My friend…. do you remember what you just told “me”?
Yeah Nino absolutely… I sure do remember!
Gee Nino… would you like to hear it again?
Yeah my friend absolutely…. because this is where we’re NOT on the same page as far as thinking alike this week ok!
Gee Nino hang on a minute here…ok!
Gee my friend….. what’s wrong now?
Well Nino I think I know what your trying to do to “me” here, by having to tell you again what I said to you earlier….ok!
Gee my friend…. what might be??
Well Nino it’s quite simple here…. would you like to hear it?
Yeah my friend absolutely….. please tell “me”!
Ok Nino…. here it is!
Well Nino when I said to you earlier here that if I were you today, I would definitely STOP helping “me” to achieve “my” “dream body, after telling you that I’ve been drinking alcohol and partying too much lately! Nino that being said…. I strongly think this is what you meant when you said to “me”, that were NOT thinking along the same lines here this week!
Nino…. am I right in assuming that?
Gee my friend I can’t believe it…. guess what?
Gee Nino what is it…. did I assume wrong here?
My friend absolutely not…. your right on target! My friend if you honestly think here this week that I’m going to STOP helping you to acheive your “Dream Body”, because of you drinking a little alcohol lately…… boy you couldn’t be more wrong with that ok!
Gee Nino I can’t tell you how relieved I am right now by you telling “me” that…. ok! Nino because I’ll be totally honest with you here, I was afraid that you were going to tell “me” to take a hike! My friend are you kidding “me”….. that would never happen in a million years ok!
My friend I think before we go ahead today and discuss here the one major common side-effect, that alcohol can have on your training….. let “me” remind you of something ok!
Ok Nino sure…. what is it?
Well my friend it’s only something that I’ve told you here since the start of our mission together…. which is simply this!
My friend are you listening? My friend because I really what you to understand this today, without any excuses whatsoever…. ok!
Ok Nino I’m all ears…. go ahead!
Great my friend…. I’m going to make this short and sweet because you’ve heard “me” say this to you, several times here already since we’ve been together ok! My friend God has instructed “me” to help you in any area of your life today, that your in desperate need of some guidance on…. without “me” making any excuses whatsoever why I can’t ok!
So my friend that being said…. guess what??
Gee Nino…. what is it now?
Well my friend I hate to disappoint you today but your stuck with “me” here…. until our mission together is successfully completed ok! Gee Nino thanks for not giving up on “me”, here this week! Nino because I definitely still need your help here week after week… ok! My friend like I said…. your definitely stuck here with “me”, until our mission together is successfully completed ok!
Ok Nino…. it sounds like a good plan to “me”!
My friend just let “me” say one more thing to you here today before we get on discussing, the one major common side-effect alcohol can have on your training…. ok!
Ok Nino sure…. go right ahead!
Well my friend I just wanted to say to you that I’m not at all surprised here by what you telling “me” here today…. ok! Gee Nino really….. why’s that? My friend because believe or not here there was a time in “my” life when I went out partying, with “my” friends as well and had a couple of drinks myself….. ok! My friend after which I wouldn’t be feeling so great, the next day when I had to train too!
Gee Nino…. are you just saying that to “me” here to make “me” feel better, about having a couple of drinks here today? My friend absolutely NOT…. it’s the honest truth here ok! Ok Nino… I believe you! So Nino that being said…. how was your workout the next day after having, a little alcohol being put into your body? My friend like I said…… it wasn’t great at all ok! My freind I couldn’t do anything as far as lift or for that matter even think straight, because of all that alcohol that was still in “my” system… ok!
My friend that being said…. today we’re going to be discussing here one major physical side-effect, that can take place if you mix alcohol and training together ok! My friend make no mistake about it when I tell you this, but there are certainly alot more physical side-effects that I could be sharing with you today….. but that could take hours for us to go through each one of them! My friend that being said….. I’m only going to share with you the most common one I see happen to people today, when they go about mixing alcohol with their training…ok!
Ok Nino… I totally understand! Nino because I definitely need a good lesson here today, on the most common effect alcohol can have on “my” training! Nino because the last thing that I want to see happen to “me” here, is “my” dreams of having that “dream body” that I’ve been working so hard for lately…. disappear ok!
Well my friend I have a strong feeling today that after I give you an example here today of the one major physical side-effect, that alcohol can have on your training…… this will start sinking into your head! My friend which is simply this! My friend your going to think twice about having that alcohol when you go out partying with your friends again, after knowing the one major common side-effect today that it’s going to have on your training…ok!
Ok Nino let’s see if you still have the magic touch here today….. to convince “me” of the fact that I cannot still acheive “my” “Dream Body”, if I’m drinking alcohol here at the same time! Gee my friend that sure sounds like a challenge to “me”…… and you definitely know by now how I LOVE to be challenged with something in “my” life today!
Yeah Nino I certainly do! Nino that being said…. I have a strong feeling today that your going to win this challenge as well…. ok!
Ok my friend…. let’s see if your right today shall we!
My friend that being said…. are you ready?
Yeah Nino absolutely…… let’s rock and roll!
Ok my friend….. here we go again!
Ok my friend I’m going to get right down to business with you today and give you the one major physical side-effect, that alcohol can have on your training! My friend after which I certainly hope that your going to have a better understanding today, why you cannot continue to mix alcohol and training together and still hope to achieve that “Dream Body” of yours…. ok!
Hey Nino hold on a minute here…. ok!
Gee my friend….. what’s wrong don’t you want “my” help today?
Gee Nino are you kidding “me”……. absolutely I want your help today! Nino I was just going to get “my” pen and pad out again…. so I can jot down the one major physical side-effect, that alcohol can have on “my” training today! Nino because I definitely want to keep it fresh in ”my” mind…… if you know what I mean! Gee my friend it sure seems like to “me” that your back on track today, in thinking along the same lines as myself because…. that sounds like a great idea to “me”!
Ok my friend that being said…. are you ready to write down the one major physical side- effect that alcohol can have on your training today?
Gee Nino absolutely….. I’m all ears go ahead! Nino because I’m ready to be educated once again by you today, this time around being…. the one major common side-effect that alcohol can have on “my” training!
Great my friend…. here it comes!
My friend that being said…. I have a strong feeling today that your already showing signs of the one major common physical side-effect, that I’m about to name here to you when mixing alcohol together with your training….. ok!
Ok Nino….. let’s see if your right about that shall we!
Ok my friend I think the best way for “me” to convince you today of the fact that if you continue to mix alcohol with your training, it is going to be nearly impossible for you to acheive that “Dream Body” at the same time….. is to ask you a question here ok!
Awesome Nino…. I haven’t played the question game with you in quite awhile here I’m excited! Well my friend I’m glad that your excited….. because here comes your question ok!
Ok Nino….. let “me” have it!
Ok my friend since you’ve been mixing alcohol with your training here lately…. have you noticed a drop in your muscle endurance? Gee Nino that’s funny that you should mention that because….. Yes I have!
Nino as matter of fact it was just a couple weeks ago here that I was able to get about 20 reps each time, with “my” sets very easily without “me” even trying! Gee my friend that’s GREAT! My friend have you still able to do that many reps easily, since you’ve mixing a little bit of alcohol with your training here lately?
Gee Nino are you kidding “me”….. absolutely NOT! Nino I’ll be totally honest with you here today, I’ve been really struggling lately to get 10 reps in each of ”my” sets that I do! Gee Nino could the reason be why this is happening to “me” here lately, is because of the alcohol that I’ve mixing together with “my” training? My friend I think that would be pretty safe to assume here today…. ok!
Gee Nino I’ll be totally honest with you here today….. I’m starting to get the picture that your trying to paint for “me”, in regards to “me” mixing alcohol and “my” training together ok!
Gee my friend….. what painted picture might that be??
Gee Nino I think it’s pretty simple in what picture your trying to paint for “me” here today…… which is simply this! Nino if I continue to mix alcohol with “my” training “my” physical muscular endurance, will continue to drop here ”big time”…. right! My friend once again here this week, I couldn’t have summed it up any better myself…. ok! My friend because …. your absolutely right! Listen my friend I’m certainly not at all trying to tell you this today, to discourage you in anyway here to acheive your “Dream Body”…. ok!
Gee Nino once again here….. are you kidding “me”! Nino I can’t tell you how grateful I am right now to you, by allowing “me” to see with “my” eyes today exactly the effects that alcohol can have on “my” training…. ok! Nino that being said…. you definitely still have the magic touch here when it comes down to you, to convince “me” of something ok! Gee Nino and the amazing thing about it is that it only took you one side-effect today to convince of the fact, that I cannot mix alcohol with “my” training and still be able to workout effectively!
Awesome my friend…. I’m really glad to hear you say that! My friend because remember I’m only trying to help you here week after week, NOT hurt you…. ok! Gee Nino once again here…. I definitely know that ok!
Well Nino that being said……. I strongly believe here today that you won yourself another challenge congratulations! Gee my friend that sure sounds like to “me” that your NOT going to be mixing alcohol with your training anymore here today!
My friend…. am I right in assuming that??
Gee Nino what do you think…… absolutely your right!
Nino as a matter of fact… guess what?
Gee my friend… what’s that?
Well Nino you’ll be happy to know today that the next time I go out partying with “my” friends, I’m going to be drinking NOTHING but water and ditch the alcohol without “me” making any “Excuses”!
My friend now your talking “my” language again…. good choice!
Hey Nino….. what do you say we get out out of here today…. and I treat you to a cold one? Gee my friend I thought you said that you were through with drinking alcohol today! Gee Nino where’s your head at….. I mean a cold glass of H2O! Oh ok my friend sure…. now your talking let’s go!!
April 15th, 2008
Hey my friend…. welcome back! Hey Nino as always it’s great to be back…. ready to discuss another exciting topic with you this week! Well my friend it’s funny that you should be bringing up our next topic of discussion this week….. because guess what? Gee Nino what….. is everything ok with you? My friend things couldn’t be going any better for “me” lately! My friend as a matter of fact things are about to get even better, for both of us today!
Gee Nino it’s been quite awhile since I’ve seen you this upbeat and excited since we’ve been getting, together here week after week! Yeah my friend your absolutely right it has been quite awhile since I’ve been this excited, and it’s for a very good reason why that’s the case today!
Gee Nino now you have “me” all excited and curious here all of a sudden, on “me” knowing just why your so excited today! Gee my friend I’m sorry I definitely don’t mean to keep you in the dark here today, in you trying to figure out just why I’m so excited at this very moment!
My friend would you really like to know…. why I’m so excited for both of us today?
Gee Nino what do you think absolutely…. I definitely want to know?
Well ok my friend I guess I’ll let the cat out of the bag then and finally tell you, why I’m so excited for both of us today! Gee Nino thanks because if I also have to start getting excited today about something I need to know what it is, so I can start jumping up and down with you! Gee my friend that really sounds like fun I haven’t jumped up down since I was about 6 years old, on “my” bed to see if I could touch the ceiling with “my” head!
Ok my friend that being said I really think that we should stay seated today…. ok!
Gee Nino why’s that?
Nino because I was actually looking forward to doing some jumping jacks with you today to get “my” heart rate up a little, as we get ready to discuss our next topic here together this week! Well my friend the only problem I see with that is…. simply this! My friend I think it’s going to be hard for us to talk and focus on our next topic of discussion today, if we’re both jumping up and down here this week!
Yeah Nino I definitely hear what your saying here because we both should stay focused today, as we’re discussing our next topic here together! Nino so we can continue on helping people in certain area’s of their lives that their struggling with, and are in need of some guidance on! Gee my friend I couldn’t have said it any better myself…… nicely said!
Ok Nino so that being said….. what are we going to discuss this week?
Well my friend I’m glad you asked “me” that…. because that’s a huge reason why I’m so excited for both of us today! Gee Nino does mean that you already have our next topic of discussion this week? Yeah my friend….. I sure do! Gee Nino that’s actually a good thing because I’ll be totally honest you, I had absolutely nothing for you this week to talk to you about! My friend that’s ok because you’ve been coming up with pretty much all of our topic of discussions here in the last couple of weeks, so I think it’s only fair that I come up with one now!
So my friend that being said…… would you like to know what our next topic of discussion is about this week?
Gee Nino absolutely…… I sure do!
Ok my friend I’m not going to keep you in suspense any longer today in you trying to figure out, just why we’re supposed to be so excited this week about our next topic of discussion….. ok!
Hey Nino would you mind if I try to guess on what our next topic of discussion is about this week, before you go ahead and tell “me”? Gee my friend that sounds like a great idea to “me”! My friend actually it’s been quite awhile since I’ve had you to try to guess, on what our next topic of discussion is about! My friend that being said….. would you like “me” to give you a little hint first to make it a little easier, for you to try to come up with the right answer regarding our next topic of discussion this week?
Gee Nino could you because I definitely think that if you give “me” a little hint regarding our next discussion today, I have a strong feeling that I can guess the right topic! Gee my friend that sure sounds like to “me” that your extremely confident, in you guessing the right answer to our next topic of discussion today…… I like it!!
Ok my friend here’s your little hint…… are you ready??
Yeah Nino absolutely…… I’m ready, willing, and able to guess our next topic of discussion this week!
Ok my friend our topic of discussion today has to do with one of the three “special” people that we discuused awhile back, that God brought into “my” life to make Nino’s Mission possible today! Gee Nino that’s a huge hint you just gave ”me” because your either talking about Vanessa Cambria or her husband Mark or Tom Venuto….. right!
My friend your absolutely right…… good job!
So my friend that being said……. which one of these three “special” friends of mine do you think we’re going to be talking about today??
Hmm Nino let “me” think a minute here…. ok!
My friend absolutely take a few minutes and think about it….. I’m certainly in no hurry today! Gee Nino thanks….. I promise you that I won’t take long in coming up with the right person that we’re going to be talking about today… ok! Gee my friend I have to say it again to you…. which is simply this! My friend your definitely showing “me” alot of confidence that you know which one of these three “special” friends of mine….. we’re going to be talking about today! Well Nino I guess you can say that “my” confidence in myself has been really building up in “my” life, ever since we’ve been hanging out together here week after week!
My friend that’s GREAT to hear….. you just made our mission together all the worth while to keep on going here, until it’s 100% successfully completed! Furthermore my friend I have a strong feeling that your confidence level in yourself is going to be going up the roof here in the next few months, as we continue to hang out together and discuss alot more topics! Gee Nino I couldn’t agree with you more….. I’m excited about it!
Ok Nino that being said…. I think I know which one of your three “special” friends, we’re going to be talking about today!
Great my friend…. let’s hear it!
Ok Nino….. I have strong feeling that the “special” friend of yours that we’re going to be talking about today, is none other than “Vanessa Cambria”! Oh my friend…. I can’t believe it! Gee Nino what it is…. did I guess the wrong person? My friend it’s just the opposite you amazingly guessed the right “special” friend of mine! My friend how did you know that I was referring to “Vanessa Cambria”….. as being our topic of discussion today?
Well Nino to be totally honest with you here it wasn’t hard for “me” at all to know that you we’re referring to ”Vanessa Cambria”, as being our topic of discussion today… simply for this reason!
Nino would you like to hear the reason?
Gee my friend absolutely…. I would love to hear your reason in how you came up with “Vanessa Cambria” as being our topic of discussion today!
Ok Nino…. here it is!
Well Nino I just thought back to when we had the discussion on how “Nino’s Mission” came to life, and remembering that Vanessa was the one that gave your mission that heartbeat to get it all started! Gee my friend your really impressing “me” today because that discussion took place awhile ago, I can’t believe that you remembered all that…. great job!
Gee Nino are you kidding “me”! Nino it’s like I’ve been telling you now for quite some time….. which is simply this! Nino I’ve been taking every discussion that we’ve had so far here together very seriously and to heart, and I’ve applied it to my own life situations, which has helped “me” a great deal so far in how to go on handling them simply by “me” making “No Excuses” for myself!
Gee my friend I’m so happy to hear you say that because I’ll be to totally honest with you, I had no idea that our discussions that we’ve had so far have impacted your life in such a positive way! Well Nino now you know…. so let’s keep on discussing those topics ok!
Gee my friend that sounds good to “me”!
So my friend that being said….. in our next topic of discussion this week, I’m going to share with you ”my” experience I had training with Vanessa Cambria! Also my friend how she helped “me” understand the true definition of “me” making “No Excuses,” in regards to “my” physical disability when performing certain exercises that were extremely challenging for “me” to do!
My friend are you ready for “me” to share with you today…. the amazing experience I had training with “Vanessa Cambria”?
Gee Nino absolutely….. let’s get the show on the road!
Ok my friend…. here we go again!
Well my friend as you can probably imagine I’ve had the experience to train with many different personal trainers in the past, but none of them came close to the experience I had training with “Vanessa Cambria” in regards to overall knowledge and attitude! Gee Nino that’s really a bold statement you just made here…. can you back it up by giving “me” some examples to prove your statement as being true?
My friend I had a feeling that you were going to say that…… it would be “my” pleasure to give you a few examples, as why I say this to you today! Listen my friend I’m not at all saying that the trainers that I trained with in the past, didn’t have the knowledge or the attitude when it came to doing their job effectively! My friend what I meant by making such a bold statement like that to you here….. is simply this!
My friend are you listening?
Yeah Nino I’m listening….. go ahead!
Ok my friend what I meant by the other trainers not having the knowledge or attitude that Vanessa showed “me”, was in regards to training “me” effectively with “my” disability! My friend I’m going to give you an example here of what I mean by that….. ok! Ok Nino because I think I’m starting to understand now, about what you meant by making that bold statement to “me” earlier!
Great my friend! My friend because by “me” making that bold statement to you earlier on does not at all mean that the other trainers that I trained with in the past, weren’t good trainers they were all good in their own ways until it came down to them figuring out how to train “my” legs effectively! My friend and that’s one area where Vanessa showed “me” that she alot more knowledge and a very positive attitude, when it came to figuring out how to train “my “legs in the most effective way possible where I wouldn’t be intimidated by the exercise or the difficulty of it as well!
Ok my friend that being said…. now I’ll give you an example of how Vanessa differed from all the other trainers I had in the past concerning training “my” legs …. ok!
Ok Nino great….. let’s hear them!
Ok my friend as far as the other trainers I had in the past when it came down to them training “my” legs, they we’re very hesitate in pushing “me” to where my legs actually felt like they were being worked! Gee Nino could you give “me” an example of what you mean by that? My friend absolutely….. because I really want you to understand what I’m trying to say to you today, between how these other trainers went on training “me” and the way that Vanessa did!
Well my friend what mean by these other trainers I had in the past being very hesitate when it down to them training “my” legs…..is simply this! My friend they simply did not allow “me” to be challenged by pushing any serious weight wether it be doing squats, leg presses or leg extentions!
Ok Nino I think I know what you mean now?
Great my friend…. let’s here it!
Well Nino it sure sounds like to “me” that these other trainers that you trained with in the past here, were kinda of playing the sympathy card with you when they went about training legs with you! My friend your absolutely right….. I couldn’t have said it any better myself! My friend the last thing I want to happen is to have a trainer show “me” sympathy when training ”me” especially “my” legs! My friend as your now aware of I want to be challenged with different things in “my” life in regards to “my” disability….. not held back!
Gee Nino I sure don’t blame you one bit…. because I would definitely feel the same way if I were in your position! Nino something tells “me” that Vanessa was the total opposite of playing the sympathy card, when it came down to training your legs….. am I right! Gee my friend your definitely on a roll today…. because your absolutely right again! My friend Vanessa had absolutely no intentions whatsoever to play the sympathy card with “me”, when training “my” legs or any other bodypart for that matter! My friend however she did play a card that I’m very familiar with by now!
Gee Nino what card is that??
Well my friend it’s quite simple here what card…. The “No Excuses” card! My friend let “me” give you an example of what I mean here….. ok!
Ok Nino go ahead I’m listening….. I can’t wait to hear this one!
Well my friend you don’t have to wait a second longer today…. because here’s how Vanessa went about training “my” legs, compared to these other trainers I had in the past! Well my friend for starters on leg day Vanessa would tell “me” firsthand on the exercises that we were going to be doing, and how she wanted them done! My friend so I could stay focused and most important make “No Excuses” for myself whatsoever, in why I couldn’t do them in the way that she wanted!
Ok my friend that being said…. are you ready for “me” to share with you a typical leg day workout with Vanessa??
Gee Nino absolutely…. I’ve been dying to hear this all day!
Ok my friend here comes “my” “No Excuses” leg day workout with Vanessa that’s guaranteed, to make your legs hurt in a good way!
Ok my friend I’m going to tell you two methods of training that Vanessa used with “me”, when training “my” legs that your very familiar with …. ok!
Ok Nino…. I’m all ears!
Ok my friend because this is going tell you without any doubt whatsoever today, why I LOVED training with Vanessa compared to all the other trainers I had in the past! Well my friend a typical leg day workout with Vanessa included doing squats, leg presses and leg extentions…. with “me” performing none other than ALL “Super Sets” and “Drop Sets” with each and every set that I did!
My friend and let “me” tell you something I just LOVED feeling the incredible burn I had throughout “my” entire leg, it was even hard for “me” to stand upright at times! My friend and I knew right then that Vanessa Cambria was not at all playing the sympathy card with “me”….. like all the other trainers had!
Gee Nino it sure sounds like to “me” that when Vanessa trained you…. she was not at all looking at your physical disability! My friend that’s exactly the point that I’m trying to get you to understand today! My friend Vanessa was NOT at all looking at “my” disability when training “me” and that right there, showed “me” that Vanessa was without a doubt the right trainer for “me”!
My friend and for that I thank God so much for bringing Vanessa into “my” life! My friend because she really motivated “me” beyond like any of the other trainers I had in the past, and most important she made realize that there were absolutely “No Excuses” for “me” why I couldn’t train legs like anyone else who didn’t have to deal a physical disability!
Gee Nino it sure sounds like to “me” that you and Vanessa were really able to bond well together! My friend your absolutely…. right! My friend just let “me” say one more thing to you today about ”my” experience I had training with Vanessa……. which is simpy this!
My friend I consider Vanessa out of all the other trainers I had in the past to be in a league all by herself, when it comes down to really wanting to help a person change their body and atittude about themsevles! My friend Vanessa has accomplished that with “me” simply by “me” making “No Excuses” about “my” disability….. thanks Vanessa for the attitude adjustment in “my” life!
Gee Nino I think that I’m going to hire Vanessa myself here! My friend now your talking “my” language…. because Vanessa’s only a click away, as her own website is linked to mine!
Great Nino….. I’m going to go checkout Vanessa’s website right now! My friend I promise you that you’ll be completely satisfied with Vanessa as your trainer…. “No Excuses”!!
February 22nd, 2008
Hey my friend welcome back! Gee Nino thanks you know how I look forward to our meetings, each and every week! Nino I’m especially looking forward to our discussion today! My friend really…. why’s that? Gee Nino have you forgotton on what you told me last week, on what we were going to be talking about this week!
Gee my friend! I apologize I completely forgot in what I told you what we were, going to discuss this week! Nino you’ve been telling me not to ever apologize to you, so why are you apologizing to me right now! Gee my friend I think I’ve taught you to well your absolutely right, I shouldn’t be apologizing to you either! My friend I promise that won’t happen again!
Gee Nino that’s ok! Nino I guess you can say that we’re even now! Nino would you like me to help refresh your memory? My friend that sounds like a great idea to me! Well Nino if I’m not mistaken last week you hinted to me, that we were going to talk about these “special” people that you’ve been mentioning to me from time to time!
Gee my friend your absolutely right, how could I have forgotton such an important thing! Ok my friend before I go any further I have a confession to make to you! Gee Nino what is it? Actually my friend I really didn’t forget on what we were, going to talk about today! My friend I just wanted to see if you were paying attention and you definitely, showed me that your on the ball today! My friend also you showed me today that I definitely wasn’t boring you at all, with the discussions that we’ve been having lately!
Gee Nino it’s like I said you haven’t been at all boring me lately, now you know that I was being totally honest with you! Well my friend I appreciate your honesty that being said your absoulutley right today! My friend today is that “special” day that I’m going to give a “special” thanks to these very special friends of mine, that are responsible for the birth of “Nino’s Mission”!
Gee Nino are you telling me that you had absolutely nothing to do, with the birth of “Nino’s Mission”? My friend that’s exactly what I’m telling you and what I’m also telling the millions, of other people in our society today as well! My friend ever since the launch of “Nino’s Mission” back in November of 2006, I’ve had alot of my friends and people in general ask me one question!
Gee Nino what might that be if you don’t mind me asking?
My friend absolutely not I’m also glad you asked me!
Well my friend I’ve been basically asked over and over again, like a broken record simply this! My friend and I quote! “Gee Nino how did you end up having your own website”? My friend I simply responded by saying God has brought, three very ”special” people into my life to allow this to happen! Gee Nino how did they react when you told them that? Well my friend I guess you can say that they were…. quite surprised with my answer!
Gee Nino I have to be totally honest with you I would have probably reacted, in the same manner that they did as well! Gee Nino it’s not very common in our society today where you hear of people, go to such extremes to help another person! My friend that’s exactly the point I’m trying to make to you here! My friend you very seldomly hear something as amazing as this, happen to a person today in our society!
Well my friend I have news for you…. God has made it happen to me! My friend I thank God everyday for bringing these three very “special” friends into my life, who you now know them as Mark and Vanessa Cambria and Tom Venuto! My friend that being said this is why today I want to give a special thanks, to Mark, Vanessa, and Tom for making my dream come true!
Gee Nino I think it’s really nice of you to take time today and do this! My friend I should have done this in the beginning! My friend because if it weren’t for these three special friends of mine that God has brought into my life, I definitely wouldn’t be talking to you about a “Mission” today! Gee Nino before we give thanks to your friends today, would you mind if I ask you something!
Absolutely my friend! What would you like to ask me?
Ok Nino I hope this is not going to sound werid to you but if it weren’t for God, bringing Mark, Vanessa, and Tom into your life… my friend I’m sorry for interuppting! My friend I bet I know what your question is….. would you mind if I guess? Gee Nino absolutely not because you always give me, a chance to guess the anwers to your qustions! Gee thanks my friend! Well my friend I believe you want to know what alot of my friends, have been asking me as well! My friend which is simply this and I quote again! “Nino if God didn’t bring Mark, Vanessa, and Tom into your life for making “Nino’s Mission” possible for you just what would I be doing today”?
My friend is that what you want to know?
Yeah Nino! What would you be doing today?
Well my friend I would still be asking God for some direction in my life, because he knows that I’ve tried and still trying today to find employment! My friend I truly believe God is showing me a little part of his direction that he wants me to take!
My friend that being said! What do you say we give a “special” thanks today to Mark, Vanessa, and Tom for helping me see that possible direction that God want’s for me…… “Nino’s Mission”!
Yeah Nino absolutely I’m ready!
Ok my friend here we go again!
Well my friend! I think it only seems right today to start off giving a special thanks to the person who was responsible for giving “Nino’s Mission” a heartbeat! Gee Nino who might that person be? Well my friend I’m about to tell you but just keep one thing in mind! My friend I had absolutely no idea that this person who I’m about to name, would begin the birth of my mission!
Gee Nino I know how you like to keep me in suspense but who was the person, who started to give life to “Nino’s Mission”? Oh my friend I’m sorry you know how I like to keep you, at the edge of your seat on certain things! Yeah Nino it drives me crazy! Well my friend I definitely dont want that today, I need you to be calm cool and collective! My friend the person is Vanessa Cambria! My friend I truly believe if Vanessa didn’t agree to train me for my last show, I definitely wouldn’t be here talking to you here week after week like we’ve been doing!
Gee Nino are you telling me that Vanessa’s role in this was to train you, for your last show? Well my friend that was part of it but what I’m about to tell you next, is what gave Nino’s Mission that starting heartbeat! Gee Nino what was it? My friend it was a phone call that I received from Vanessa, telling me that she had some news for me! Gee Nino what news might that be?
Well my friend before I tell you let me just say that Vanessa didn’t have to do what she did, it definitley shows you the type of person that Vanessa is! My friend! Vanessa told me that she talked to her husband Mark about me in how I would love an opportunity to help people, but I was having a tough time for someone to look past my disability to give me that chance! Well my friend what she told me next is really going to allow you to see the kind of people, that Vanessa and Mark truly are!
Gee Nino what happen next?
Well my friend as you read in my story Mark took it upon himself to call his long time friend Tom Venuto and told him about me! My friend I’m not going to go into the whole thing again about what the coversation, was about because its all in my story! Listen my friend the point I’m trying to make to you here is simply this! My friend Vanessa went out of here way to help me, by doing all that she did for me! My friend now you know that Vanessa did much more than train me, she was the one that started my dream!
Gee Nino what your telling me is unbelieveable!! My your telling me I never had anyone help me in the way that Vanessa did my whole life! Gee Nino I should have brought some tissues today? Nino this gets you right in the heart! My friend trust that’s exactly where Vanessa will always be….. in my heart along with Mark and Tom! Well my friend I felt the only right thing to do after all that Vanessa did for me, was to give her my trophy that I recieved at the night of the show!
My friend Vanessa definitely without a doubt deserved it more than me she not only put up with me for 15 weeks to train me, but she also gave me an opportunity to live my dream! My friend I know that God will open that door of opportuinity that I’ve been asking him, when “he” knows the time is right!
Gee Nino that’s awesome that you did that for Vanessa!
My friend Vanessa deserves alot from me than a “special” thanks…. and a trophy!
Ok my friend it’s now time to give a special thanks to Vanessa’s husband Mark Cambria, in how he also made my dream a reality!
Gee Nino this is exciting today go ahead I’m listening! Nino I’m also learning alot today I actually think I might know, in what your trying to teach me here as well today!
Gee my friend! I had a feeling that you would also be learning something today, along with the millions of other people in our society as well! My friend but don’t tell me just yet in what you might believe that lesson might be! My friend I’ll give you an chance to guess the lesson at the end of our meeting today!
Ok Nino that sounds fair! Ok my friend let’s continue to give special thanks today!
Well my friend you now know by me telling you last week, that Mark was the master mind behind my pre-contest diet! My friend furthermore you also found out today that Mark made that phone call to Tom Venuto, and that’s how I got introduced to Tom! Gee Nino hold on a minute I don’t mean to interrupt, but it sounds like to me that you never actually met Tom in person! My friend that is correct! My friend actually I never heard of Tom Venuto before in my life until Mark told me about him, and I had a brief conversation with Tom on the phone!
Gee Nino it sure sounds to me that Mark and Vanessa are truly two people, who really have gone all out to help you to live your dream! My friend it’s like I said no one in my entire life has ever helped me, in the way that Mark and Vanessa have I owe them both greatly! Ok my friend let me get back and tell you another amazing thing that Mark did for me, that will no doubt surprise you and alot other people in our society today!
Gee Nino what is it?
Well my friend! If you’ve been wondering who’s responsible for making these posters of me that you see on this site, let me say I had absolutely nothing to do with making them! Gee Nino I would have thought that you would have a least, been responsible for making your own posters! Well my friend have news for you that was ALL Mark’s doing! My friend all I did was stand in front of the camera! Gee Nino are you telling me that Mark was also responsible for making your posters! My friend that’s exactly what I’m telling you! My friend Mark put ALL the hard work and time, not to mention the resources to make them as well!
Gee Nino I can’t believe what I’m hearing today! Nino I never heard anyone help a person like this before.. ever in my entire life! My friend that’s what I’ve also been telling myself, ever since the launch of “Nino’s Mission”! My friend let me just say one more thing about both Mark and Vanessa, before we talk about Tom’s role in all this! My friend! I’ve only known Mark and Vanessa for about two years, and I have friends that I’ve known pretty much my whole life! My friend I never had any of my really close friends offer to help me in my life, in the way that Mark and Vanessa have! Gee Nino I guess you weren’t kidding to me when you referred these people as being “special”!
Gee Nino I’m starting to get a little choked up here! My friend I’m right with you there! My friend but please stay with me because now I’m going to tell you, how Tom Venuto brought the birth of ”Nino’s Mission” to full circle and put the finishing touches on it!
Gee Nino don’t worry I’m not about to leave you now!
Great my friend!
Well my friend as I said earlier to you I never met Tom in person before, I just spoke briefly with him on the phone! My friend I only met Tom for the first time on the night of my last bodybuilding show! My friend I truly believe what I’m about to tell you next is really going to make you understand, the phrase “special” people today! Gee Nino what is it? Well my friend before I tell you I just want to thank Tom again for taking the time, to come and see me at the show that night! Furthermore my friend I also want to thank Tom for writing such a great story, on my accomplishments that I’ve been able to acheive with my disability thanks to God!
Ok my friend are you sitting down?
Yeah Nino!
Great my friend because I think what I’m about to share with you next, this is really going to get you choked up today! Well my friend I have a feeling that you’ve also been probably wondering along with the millions of other people, in our society today who was responsible for building this site! Gee Nino that’s funny that you should mention that to me, because that was going to be my next question! Well my friend look no further because Tom is the answer to your question! Gee Nino wait a minute this is really getting emotionally too deep for me today! Nino are you telling me that you had nothing to do with building your own site!
My friend that’s exactly what I’m telling you and what I’ve been telling you, since the beginning of my mission! My friend Tom along with a few other people who I also want to thank today are soley responsible, for building this site that you see here today! My friend let me just say I had a conversation with Tom by phone, when all this was happening to me and asked him one question that I’m still asking myself today!
Gee Nino what was it?
My friend I specifically asked Tom why was he doing all this for me? My friend his response was and I quote! “Nino if I didn’t think you could help inspire and motivate people with your disability I wouldn’t be doing this! My friend Tom also went on to say that it was a gift he wanted to give me! Well my friend let me tell you I never received a gift such as this, from ANYONE like this in my entire life!
Gee Nino this was truly amazing what I heard from you today! Nino I definitely learned alot from the actions that Mark, Vanessa, and Tom took to help you make your dream a reality! Oh my friend that reminds me so what’s the lesson that you think, I’m trying to teach you today? Gee Nino I think that it’s pretty simple for anyone to know the lesson that was taught today! Nino which is we should ALL be willing take the time today to help one another, in anyway that we can without making excuses!
My friend you’ve definitely matured alot since we’ve been together…..because your absolutely right! My friend this is precisely the point that God wants me educate, the millions of people in our society on……. helping one another!
Listen my friend let me just end by saying today Mark, Vanessa, and Tom deserve a WHOLE lot more than a “special” thanks from “me”! My friend these people took the time out of their lives not to mention stuck out their neck to help me, when others have just knocked me down but I keep getting back up….. No Excuses! Gee Nino this was just an amazing story, in how “Nino’s Mission” came to life! Nino thanks for sharing it with me today!
My friend please don’t thank “me” you should thank God for bringing Mark,Vanessa and Tom into my life for making all this possible! My friend they made my dream a reality and they are without a doubt, the back bone to “Nino’s Mission”! Oh my friend I also want to take this opportunity before we end today to do one more thing!
Gee Nino what might that be?
My friend I want to wish both Mark and Tom the best of luck as they are both getting ready, to compete in the same bodybuilding show on October 27th! Gee Nino that’s awesome!! My friend yes it is! My friend let me just say they both have been training and dieting extremely hard for this one day, guys go get em…. No Excuses!!
October 15th, 2007
Hey buddy…. welcome back! How have things been going with your training? Let’s see if my memory serves me right I believe you were unsure… on the path to take the heavy or light weight approach! Well if I remember correctly we were able to come to an understanding… on the path you were going to start off on right! Yeah Nino… I’ve been sticking with your philosophy…. I guess it seems to be working for me! Gee that sure didn’t sound too convincing to me! What’s wrong?? Listen whatever is on your mind…. I’m here to help remember!
Well Nino it’s just that I’ve been working out so hard…. I just haven’t seen my body change at all! Nino and what makes it more frustrating for me, I have a friend who started at the same time I did…. and he’s gotten huge!! Well I guess there’s one thing I forgot to mention Nino…. he told me he’s experimenting with steroids!! Ok stop right there…. I think I’ve heard enough!
Let me tell you it’s truly amazing how everytime we get together…. you just give me an idea about what our next discussion is going to be on! I’ll be honest with you…. I was really hoping we could avoid talking about steroids… this early in my mission! The main reason is I didn’t want you to get side tracked…. and start to lose focus on what I’m trying to teach you! Well I guess now it can’t be avoided…. so we better deal with this now! Well I think you know what my next blog… is going to be about so let’s get going!
Here are my thoughts on the use of steroids!
Are you ready to be educated once again??
I truly hope you listen very closely because I truly believe….. this is major issue that our society is battling with today! I truly feel that steroids are being used by more professional athletes and teenagers today than ever before…. and it continues to be on the rise!! If that’s not bad enough…. even celebrities are getting into the act as well! The statistics are astounding to me…. and it just seems to be getting worse by the minute! This truly saddens me…. in how our society is dealing with this type of drug abuse!!
Well I hate to be the party crasher… but it’s going to be dealt with right now! Listen I don’t want you to be another statistic…. or anyone else for that matter! What kind of message are the professional athletes sending to their fans… who look up to them! I’ll tell you the message their sending! Instead of them using their gifts and talents God has blessed them with…. they use steroids to up their game! Well that definitely tells me one thing! These athletes have been doing the very thing…. that I’ve been teaching you not to do in your life!
Their making nothing but excuses…. which only allows me to believe they have absolutely no self confidence in their abilities!! What really bothers me the most…. they get paid millions of dollars to do what they do!! I truly believe them using steroids… isn’t written in their contract! Well I guess we all know… where all of their millions they receive are going towards!!
I sincerely feel that stiffer penalties need to be used… on these athletes who are caught using steroids! I definitley don’t agree with suspensions or fines…. gee it’s not like they can’t afford it! I truly feel the only solution to ending steroid use… in all professional sports today is very simple! Would you like to hear it?? Listen I’m not trying to be a poor sport…. they should be banned from playing ever again!! If you think I’m being unfair.. I think I’m being more than fair! Now that I think about it…. they should be thanking me for saving their lives!!
For these professional athletes who honestly think their invincible… from getting serious health problems or even death down the road their wrong!! I can easily give them an example of what I’m talking about! I don’t know if you remember a professional football player… back in the late seventies who’s name was Lyle Alzado! Well he was a big time steroid user he’s not anymore…. because he died from it!! Like I’ve been telling you God does not discriminate…. even when it comes to steroid use!!
I can honestly tell you God wasn’t kidding when he gave me the nickname…. “The No Excuse Natural Bodybuilder!! I can honestly look at myself in the mirror… and be proud of that nickname!! Well as your well aware by now I make no excuses and without a doubt…. I’m 100% drug-free! I definitely know for a fact God wouldn’t approve of me taking steroids… to help me acheive my level of success I’ve had so far! I honestly believe if I did take steroids…. God would have made me fail each time I did a contest! Oh one more thing my mission…. would be filled with excuses!!
Listen I sincerely hope that I was able to send… a clear message to you about using steroids to help increase your muscle growth! I have some advice for you to tell your friend… and by no means am I trying to make a joke of all this! There is absolutely no doubt that steroids is the way to go to gain incredible muscle growth…. but at the same time it’s making other areas of the body shriek in size!! I seriously don’t think I have to tell you… what parts I’m talking about!! I definitely know one thing I never have to be worried about anything shrieking…. on my body!! How about you??

Hello. My name is Nino Savona, I am from Clifton Park, New York, and I would like to welcome you and thank you for visiting my new website, Nino’s mission.com.
My primary objective for Nino’s Mission.com is to inspire and teach people with physical disabilities — as well as people without disabilities — from all around the world, that they can achieve anything in life if they just believe in themselves. I also believe, given the opportunity, that I can motivate and help change the world’s perception about people with disabilities, because if someone like me can do it, then what could YOU achieve?
No matter what life throws at you, there are NO EXCUSES! Do the best you can with what you have. Making excuses will only rob you of the richer life that you can lead if only you will take responsibility, believe in yourself and go make things happen. As you will see by my photos and my accomplishments, and you will see in my upcoming posts to this weblog, I make no excuses for myself, so why should you?
Here is one I keep hearing: “IT’S IMPOSSIBLE.”
When you hear this, coming from others or from yourself, I urge you to think about the fact that everything was impossible before it became possible. Automobiles were impossible, until they became possible. Flying in airplanes was impossible, until it became possible. Putting a man on the moon was impossible, until it became possible. Climbing Mt. Everest and running a mile in under four minutes were said to be impossible — until someone made them possible.
I could go on for pages about achievements in technology, engineering, medicine, business sports and every other field of endeavor, that people said couldn’t be done. Someone did them anyway. And the more you think about it, the more you realize that virtually every achievement was “impossible” until someone came along and did it.
Almost everyone told me that competing in bodybuilding would be impossible. Well, I made it possible and became a huge success, thanks to GOD and my belief in possibility! Sometimes it may take a little longer or require more work, but I believe anything is possible — all you have to do is cast aside your doubts and limitations, stop making excuses, and take action to make it happen!
Thank you again for visiting and for giving me the opportunity to share my life experience with you. In the days, weeks and months ahead, you can visit this site often to learn more about me, my philosophy on life and overcoming adversity, to learn more about my approach to health and fitness, and follow along as I train for my next competition.
