How do you win your gold medal?

What is your gold medal in life?

When you are thinking about your life and what makes you the most proud of what you have done, what is it?  Is it getting married to the love of your life, seeing the birth of your child, maybe winning a championship as a young athlete or an MVP title?  What makes you keep pushing for more?  What drives you to achieve more and want more from yourself?

So when you are thinking of those answers write them down.  You might look back on your life years from now and say boy was I in good shape when I was 17.  What is stopping you from getting back into that kind of shape?  I don't mean to weigh 150 again if your a guy and 125 if your a girl.  But to feel as good as you felt when you were that young.  I personally feel like I am close to being in my best shape of my life now.  I was always an athlete but even athletes now sometimes you let yourself slide and it is a battle to get yourself back on top.  So I worked for it and went for it.

Reaching your goals takes discipline.  Write down your plan what are you going to do this next month to help you reach those goals?  What about the next 6 months, a year from now and 5 years from now? The only people who fail their goals are those who never plan.  Write them down figure out exactly what you want from your life fitness-wise, career-wise and personal life and go for it!  Reach your gold medal moment.

Train like an Olympian

Since the Olympics have started I thought I would share a little training tip.  I recently read a quite saying have you looked around and seen the average American boy are we getting big!!! As I'm watching the Olympics today I'm thinking why can't everyone be in this good of shape?  Now I know not everyone is as gifted athletically as those in the Olympics but that gives no reason for the average American to not move or do the best they can.  These Olympians work hard everyday.  I am going to give you a huge hint PLAN!!! These athletes plan their workouts in advance as well as their nutrition.  You need to plan, plan, plan!! If you currently are not doing that you are letting yourself down.  If you don't know how to plan invest in a trainer.  As a trainer myself I know not every trainer is good, I get that if your skeptical.  You need to set up a consult with them get their philosophy on fitness and training, check out their personality and see if they are a good match for you.  If you want to train like an Olympian but your trainer doesn't know how to do that choose someone else.  Make sure they have the knowledge to take you to where you want to go fitness-wise.  

So if you take nothing out of this besides one thing make sure you PLAN!  Set yourself up for success and hire someone to help you if your not sure how to get their yourself.  Get off the couch and start your journey today! 

A little more motivation for you!  

Be the best you can be and you just might surprise yourself!
