Just Workout. No Excuses!

“Most of us would rather sit on the couch. 

But most of us don’t want to look like 

all we do is sit on the couch.”

Why do we have the need to “FEEL” like working out? To be motivated to train hard or even just show up. Do you think professional athletes always want to roll out of bed at the crack of dawn to train, practice and beat their bodies up day after day? People don’t always want to workout, but people always want the results. 

Winners choose to workout, even when they don’t feel like it. 

It’s Time to train like a Winner.

You Either Want It or Not
If you really want to be thin, get more fit, perform better, run faster, go longer, win your next fight…you have to train – whether you like it or not. Even the most brutal workouts don’t last forever. Think of the facts: the work you do in that short period of time gives you benefits that last hours of feeling amazing, feeling confident, and feeling like a winner.

Don’t You Even Think About It
Don’t ponder whether you should workout or not. The answer will always be “Yes, you should”. Pondering it, weighing your options, or renegotiating your schedule and commitments just wastes precious time. Just suck it up, pull up your big girl panties or manly boxer briefs and just do it!

Have a Happy & Healthy Day, Cheers :)

Progress is Sneaky

Progress kinda sneaks up on you… it tends to happen when you’re not paying attention. One day you ‘can’t’, and the next day you ‘can’. It’s Awesome!

The progress will reveal itself when it’s ready… no need to stress out about not being where you want to be. Enjoy where you ARE. Celebrate mini-victories along the way. Don’t negate them! They count!

Having a goal is great, but I urge you to focus on enjoying the process too. That’s the good stuff.

I love being able to do pushups: all kinds of them. But nothing was quite like the feeling I got from being able to do just ONE. No matter how fancy, bad ass, or surprising my ‘new’ pushups are, nothing compares to that first feeling of ‘holy shit. I did it!’. I wouldn’t have relished it nearly as much if I’d been holding out for the day I could do 10. That first one was AMAZING.

One got me to two. Two got me to three. Eventually, I got to 10. Then 20. Then 40. And the journey was the best part… not the end game.

Enjoy the journey. Celebrate your victories. High five yourself when no one’s looking. Even better, when EVERYONE’S looking. Big steps, little steps, missteps, first steps, failures, mistakes and bumps: they’re all awesome and a magical part of your Health and Fitness Story.

Have a Happy and Healthy Day, Cheers :)
