Are you really ready to lose those unwanted pounds?
Let me ask you a question that I ask my clients all the time:
Why do people who are trying to lose weight spend endless hours on the elliptical machine, stairclimber, or stationary bike?
The answer: Because they were told that this kind of exercise is what works.
Have you been performing mediocre, slow fat-burning, hours-of-exercise cardio to burn fat? Then listen up!
Have you been performing this type of cardio for a while now and are just not seeing the results that you desire?
Then don't do what most people do. They increase their workouts, perform longer sessions on the elliptical, or add another mile to that slow jog.
Instead... STOP!
I want to introduce you to a way to not only lose those extra unwanted pounds, but to also build strength and help you maximize your time.
It Is Time To Start SPRINTING!

Who Do You Trust?
If you are serious about what you do than you need to be serious about who you trust.
Who do you trust around you on a daily basis?
Who are you hanging out with? Are they making you better?
Bad company corrupts good morals!
Spend the quality of your time with people that are focused on the task at hand.
People that are positive about you getting to the next level!
People that believe in you!
And people that are going to hold you accountable to your ultimate goals!
I once trained an athlete that had all the potential in the world and is now doing nothing with his life.
Why?
Because he chose to allow the people around him to determine his future. He chose to be distracted by what everyone else was doing.
Eventually that company pulled him away and he no longer has ambitions and goals to be great.
It is a choice and it is your choice.
What are you going to choose?

Are You Complacent?
Are you content with who you are?
Complacency - self-satisfaction especially when accompanied by unawareness of actual dangers or deficiencies.
That is the definition of complacency according to Webster Dictionary.
My definition: Being too comfortable where you are at.
Are you content with how things are going?
Are you content with where you are at
-Physically, Mentally, Spiritually, Athletically,etc...
I want to challenge you today to get a little uncomfortable with your current situation.
I want to challenge you today to not get complacent!
I want to challenge you today to get out of your comfort zone!
Never be satisfied until you have reached your ultimate goal, until you have seen your vision come to past.
Try something new today to get you out of your comfort zone to take your health and your life to the next level!
Now Go Get It!

9.69...EASY!
9.69 seconds!
That was the new world-record time set by Usain Bolt in the 100 meter dash this weekend at the Olympics.
If you did not see this race you should go and watch it.
This guy made it look easy!
My point is when you prepare and put the time in to accomplish something you should expect it to work out.... and you should expect it to be easy.
Now don't get me wrong, I am not saying the road to get there was easy.
The preperation time is never easy and never obstacle free.
This 100m was not even this guys specialty, the 200m was.
But he was determined!
The average sprinter is 5'10, he towers them at 6'5 which some thought would be a dis-advantage.
But he was determined!
And he went and absolutely shattered the world record!
What are you determined to accomplish?
Prepare now and once you get there make it look easy!

Are You a Competitor!
Swedish wrestler stripped of bronze medal!
That is the headline on yahoo and you can view it here:
http://sports.yahoo.com/olympics/beijing/wrestling/news?slug=ap-wre-medalstripped&prov=ap&type=lgnsT
This wrestler was stripped of his bronze medal for unsportsman like conduct during the medal ceremony.
Was he robbed? Maybe.
Did he lose? Yes.
I am not condoning his actions, but after reading the article it gave me an appreciation for what a competitor this athlete is.
Yes, sore losing...
Yes, maybe a grown man should not be acting like that...
And yes, that was probably not a good representation for his country.
I understand that.
But hear me out....
This guy came into the Olympics with one goal in mind and that was to win the gold medal.
Anything less than that was a failure in his eyes.
After losing in the 2004 world games, he was out to get revenge.
He has trained 4 years with one goal in mind...to get a gold medal.
And when this dream and goal did not become a reality he was outraged, he was dissapointed, he was upset....
THIS GUY HAS A PASSION.... a passion for what he does.
THIS GUY IS A COMPETITOR....and he hates to lose.
He was not willing to face the fact that his dream and goal did not become a reality.
Imagine if you approached everyday like this guy.
Imagine what you could accomplish with this kind of passion.
Imagine the BODY you would have....
Imagine the kind of Marriage you would have...
Imagine the Success Your Business would have.
Just imagine what your life would be like if you did not except anything less than greatness.
-Anything less than the best.
-Anything less than a Gold in all that you did.
Compete for what you want! THIS IS YOUR LIFE!
Never settle for less and never give up!
Chase your dreams and don't look back until they become a reality!
Go get it!

BE THE BEST!
I just read this heading on yahoo:
Michael Phelps eats 12,000 calories per day!
The first thing you probably said is, "Wow, Thats a lot of food!"
The first thing I said is, "Man, this guy is disciplined!"
You see, this guy knows what it takes to be the best but the thing that seperates him is he does it.
So many people know what it takes but they just don't do it.
This guy knows that he needs that many calories daily in order for his body to recover and for him to perform at the highest level.
This guy knows it and he does it!
Are you doing everything that you know you need to be doing on a daily basis to be great?
Do you want to lose weight?
Do you want to increase your strength?
Are you doing what you need to be doing in order to reach your goals?
Now is your time!

Sacrifice
It is time to sacrifice!
How bad do you want to be healthy?
How bad do you want to have a great body?
How bad do you want to feel good about yourself again?
Are you ready to sacrifice something in order to see your dreams come true?
Start watching a little less TV, spending a little less time socializing and make time for your dream.
Maybe you have got to start getting up a little earlier so that you can workout.
Maybe you have got to begin to eat a little healthier so that you can lose those last 15lbs.
Maybe you have got to add an additional meal to the plan so that you can gain that muscle you desire.
Everything good in life takes a little sacrifice!
Today make a decision to do what it takes to accomplish your dreams and goals.
I am telling you... that sacrifice will be worth it!

Michael Phelps Baby!
Even if you have not been watching the Olympics you probably have heard about Michael Phelps winning his second gold medal of the 2008 Games.
He won it in the freestyle relay...and if you did not see it you need to go and watch it- what a come from behind victory.
The French ran their mouth and at the end ran out of juice!
The anchor leg for the French, the same guy that was trash talking appeared to be dazed-not wanting to believe he just got smoked.
And Michael Phelps dream for EIGHT Gold medals in one
Olympics game is still alive.
You can take two keys to being successful out of this swim competition:
1. DREAM BIG!.
Phelps dreamed very big, and his dream isn't looking so far-
off as others once thought. This guy is focused and you can see it every time they show him on national television. He is not going to let anyone talk him out of his BIG DREAM.
It is time for you to Dream Big and then go and chase those dreams until they come to pass!
2. BACK IT UP!
If you want to be successful then don't trash talk like the french. There is a big difference between cockiness and confidence. Stay confident and humble this will take you further and you will make more friends along the way.
Oh Yeah, and if you are going to trash talk at least be able to back it up!
Go USA!
Dream Big -Expect Big Things - And Go and Make Them Happen!

Competition!
With the World Olympics kicked off and in full swing, one thing became more clear to me than ever.
Athletes everywhere are dreaming of one day themselves being there and everyday taking a step closer to make it a reality.
Competition is very REAL.
And everyday it becomes even more real.
If you've been THINKING about doing something, Now Is Your Time!
Maybe to start working out...
Maybe starting a nutrition program...
Or doing something to get in shape or better your health, you'd better realize you need to get your a@@ in gear and get started.
The competition is here. It is you competing for your life!
Because all that stuff you've been putting off until tomorrow, well, it's going to come back to bite you in your a@@ if you don't.
Somebody wants it just as bad as you do and somebody wants it even worse than you do.
Oh yeah, and don't forget this fight you are fighting is your life. It is time to take it serious!
I'm not here to baby you and tell you everything is going to be OK.
I'm here to tell you there are a lot of other people out there DOING what you are TALKING about.
There is not time to wait, your life is your biggest asset that you have!
Oh Yeah, and just a little reminder.... you're not the only person reading this email.
There is a race going on and it is against yourself...It is called the race of life!
Go and take control of it....
Get started...
And go and win it!
See You At The Top!

Make The Decision Today!
Yesterday I was rehabbing an athlete and had him up in the pool performing a workout. We performed a complete workout which took close to an hour.
Why am I telling you this?
Because this same athlete last week did not know how to swim, he was actually scared to even get into the water.
One week later he is not only in the water, but swimming and performing a complete workout.
You see, he made a decision that Now Was The Time. That he was going to get over the fear and that he was going to swim.
Was it easy? Not at all, but he decided that it was going to happen.
All week......
He new he could do it.
He began to tell himself that he could do it.
He surrounded himself with people that believed he could do.
He never quit.
And he went and did it!
You always can do more than you believe that you can do. You have got to make a decision to become strong mentally and begin to conquer obstacle in your life on a daily basis.
So many people never accomplish what they are called to simply because they give up to quick...they quit to early!
This athlete that went and conquered the fear of swimming has conquered many other things in his life and continues to conquer on a daily basis.
He has got it! That mentality that he can not be stopped. That he will dominate in all that he does and that the only one that can stop him is himself.
Because of this he is getting payed a lot of money to do what he loves to do and is enjoying life.
Don't let obstacles hold you back! Go out and conquer something today!
Let this motivate you:
Never Quit!
Never Give Up!
Take Control of Your Life by Taking Control of Your Health Today!
Until Next Time,

Today Is Your Day!
We get phone calls and emails on a daily basis from potential clients. People that are interested in starting one of our life changing fitness programs.
It amazes me how many times I have heard one of the following statements:
"I am just too busy, I'll start next time."
or
"I am just not sure if I am ready, maybe I ll start the next one."
or
"I just don't know if I can afford it, I have so many other things going on."
When I first started in the fitness industry(8years ago) I would get done reading the email or hanging the phone up and I would always think the same thing:
Wait, this person contacted us..... and now they are not ready?
As the years went on it all started to make sense.
No, they know that they are ready, their just not ready mentally. Maybe they are scared of failure, maybe they just don't have the discipline that it takes, maybe they don't want to get out of their comfort zone, maybe they are used to making excuses and not ready mentally for change.
Whatever the case may be it would always bother me. It would bother me because you never no what tomorrow holds! Tomorrow is never promised!
Today Is Your Day!
Don't wait until it's too late and then look back with regret.
There is no tomorrow!
Here is a clip from one of my favorite movies about the value of today:
What can you do today to get started on the path to good health?
What can you do today to take control of this area of your life?
Make a difference....Make today Count!
Your life is not a game... fight for what you need...take control of your life today!
Now Is Your Time!
