You Get What You Work For- Motivation

You want results?? You want to be lean and strong?  You want to be successful? You want a great job? You want to be the top of your class?

 

                                                           You have to work for it!!

We all have dreams, goals, aspirations. But are you willing to work for it? You can already be smart, or strong, or have talent, but if you do not use it to your full potential and work for what you want, you will only go as far as you put toward it.
Make small goals and take baby steps to your overall goals. It will help you see the light at the tunnel. One grand move is much harder to see the achievements, but for every A or every pound, celebrate!!
Give it your all. Give it your passion. Give it your full heart. Give it your 100% and it will pay off.
You can do this!!!

It's Not Easy, But It's Worth It. Daily Motivation

Hard work is called hard for a reason, but it doesn't mean that you don't do it because of its true meaning. If it was easy, everyone would do it!!  Everyone would be healthy, fit and successful, but its the strong willed, the determined, the fighters that work hard to achieve their goals.
YOU ARE THAT PERSON!
Get out there and make it happen!! If it is fitness that is hard to stick with, find a partner to motivate you. Take a class that the instructor motivates you. Find a stranger in class, that has a story that motivates you. Right affirmations and place them around your house, car, work place and remind yourself that you can do anything if you put your heart and mind to it. Buy healthy foods so you are not tempting to snack late nights. Buddy with your significant other or a friend to help each other when you are tempted to do so.
IT IS WORTH IT!

A limitation is only an excuse- Daily Fitness Motivation

We all have limitations. One kind or another. Its what you do to overcome it, or get around it, or use it to your advantage that makes us stronger. Believe in yourself and do what it takes to get to your goals.
I want to tell you a story a client told me the other day..
She went to the Survivor Mud Run in Lake Elsinore last year which is a very intense 5k/10k obstacle course style race. It isn't for the weary. It isn't even for the average 5k runner. This race if for the hardcore. She wasn't sure if she was going to enter the race because she heard how hard it was. I didn't mention that she went to watch last year, but not race.
She decided this year to enter the race because she saw not one, but multiple people hustling through this treacherous race with prosthetics. She was still thinking "I'm just not that tough." Till she saw a team of 2 in the middle of the pack.  This was a team with 2 people and only 2 legs. One of the teammates was missing both of his legs. During all the obstacles he used his upper body and made it over every leap and bound, during the run section he was carried on piggy back. This changed my clients mind, and said that if that guy can do it "I should have no excuse."
This is a story about a women with fears and a man that showed her that there is NO EXCUSE not to do something that you want to do!
My client is entered to do this race March 2013 when it comes back to Lake Elsinore.
If you are interested in this race check out  www.survivormudrun.com for more information.

Monday Official Start Day-Daily Fitness Motivation

Why is Monday always the day we say we will start something new, something fresh, a goal and task?
Well, today is Monday so do as you say. Start your diet of eating healthy and feeding your body nutrients that it can use to fuel those workouts you are going to start. You are going make yourself a priority. You will exercise at least 4 times a week, or hit the gym so hard you are shredded by January. You shouldn't need a new year's resolution. You will stay on track and make it easier for yourself during the holidays to have a few bites of junk food or your mom's amazing pumpkin pie.

No Workout = Bad Workout Daily Motivation

The only bad workout is the one that didn't happen..We may feel better in bed, or sitting on the couch, during that one or 2 hour time period, but you will feel so much better for the future if you get up and get moving. A light workout is better than no workout. Get out and do something. There will be days that you do NOT want to go to the gym, take a class, go for a walk, train like a warrior, stretch your muscles, shake your groove thing, but you tell yourself you do anyway, and you DO IT!  You will feel so much better and you will never regret it after.

It's all in Your Head Make a Goal - Daily Motivation

It's all in YOUR head! Your body can do it! We just need to tell our body that! It is true that positive affirmation and positive attitude will drive you to do anything!! Tell yourself you can do it and you can. Tell yourself you can't and you won't! You choose!! The latter being the best!!
We need to surround ourselves with positive people as well. The more support you have the more you will be successful. If you feel like you are constantly around people that are not encouraging and motivating, move on. Surround yourself with people with like minded goals, attitudes and aspirations and you WILL SUCCEED!
Put sticky notes with positive words, quotes or pictures around your house, workplace, car, wallet or anywhere else you frequently look or go to remind yourself of your goal.
Believe in YOURSELF! Your body can do it! Show yourself how strong you are. Tell yourself how strong you are. No matter what it is, YOU CAN DO IT!
Go do it!! You can do it!!

Less Jiggle-Daily Motivation

Work that sweat out!! Push yourself to Sweat! Give it all you Got! The More you Sweat Now, the Less Jiggle Later!!
There may be days we don't want to Sweat, especially on a day like today when it is 100 degrees outside and 40% humidity (in Southern California), but think of it this way....You are already Sweaty so you might as well take advantage of it and workout all your toxins. Your muscles are already warm. Just make sure to drink ample amounts of water to prevent dehydration, exhaustion, or even overheating. Water will help you with your recovery, help flush out more toxins (including fat) and will help keep your body functioning at its best.
Go SWEAT NOW!

Getting the Most of Your Bootcamp Class

Bootcamp classes are every where. Its a good name for a fitness class that incorporates all types of training. Cardio training, power moves, strength training, functional training and interval training all mixed into one. You may see lots of pushups, jump ropes, weights, kettlebells, ropes, tires, bands, sprints and other gadgets to make bootcamp a more interesting variation of a workout. Make sure that whatever bootcamp class you are taking that your instructor is well versed in body alignment, anatomy, physiology and kinesiology. While some may think bootcamp classes are just another workout, they may be a little strenuous on the body. They are fast moving, but should have a smooth transition and flow to each exercise. There should be a cohesive combination of all body parts used so that one muscle isn't over worked or fatigued more than another. Bootcamps should push you to your limits, but make you feel comfortable and practice safe technique. If something is bothering you or you are not comfortable, your instructor should be able to give you a modification for that exercise. Your instructor should welcome new comers and be able to accomodate for all fitness levels.
You may have heard of the all popular Crossfit classes popping up everywhere as well. These are very intense Bootcamp classes, which are for the fit person. Crossfit is great for the person that is looking for the over the top push the limit workout. It is a great workout for a short period of time, but should be incorporated with other workouts to prevent injury. It is very hard on the body, yet it is definitely a good workout.
You may see personal trainers arranging groups for bootcamp classes or open to public group bootcamp classes. Some places charge hundreds of dollars for the same workout. Know your instructor and the facility.
Sweat Cardio offers bootcamp classes Wed. 11a and Kettlebell classes that are very similar to bootcamp on Monday 5:30a and Friday 9a and Saturdays 11:30a. Check out the class schedule at www.sweatcardio.com for more info.
No matter where you plan on taking class, your instructor should be warm, welcoming, knowledgeable and motivating.
Stay fit. Be well.
