The Importance of Attitude

“Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude.”  – Thomas Jefferson

Moving into spring and summer remember to stay positive.  Use the results you’ve seen thus far as a motivator to stay on track.  If you’re unhappy with your results then you can use that as a motivator too.  Use the next six weeks to make some positive changes and turn your attitude around.  Staying positive truly is the key to success both inside and outside of the gym.  Keep it up and good luck!!

Get Your Goals and Your Effort ALIgned!

“Don’t count the days, make the days count.”  – Muhammad Ali

As we approach the end of March, assess the progress that you’ve seen since the beginning of the year.  In doing this, you should be able to find the motivation to keep at it.  If it seems like you should have had better results, try not to dwell.  Make each and every day of the second quarter count.  Do your best and I guarantee you’ll be happy with the way you feel at the end of June.
If you’re happy with your progress thus far, keep it up!  Remember to make changes to your workout program to continue seeing favorable results.  Treat each day as an opportunity to get you closer to your ultimate goals.  Goals are met one day at a time, so instead of counting down to the day your goal will be reached, do something positive each day that will get you closer to achievement.

Taking Responsibility

“You are the only person in existence who can use your potential.  It is an awesome responsibility.” – Zig Ziglar
As easy as it is to come up with excuses as to why things aren’t going your way, keep in mind the insightful words above as you set out to reach your health and fitness goals in 2011.  Good intentions can only get you so far, but you always get back the effort that you put in.
As we approach the end of the quarter recognize your responsibility and stay consistent.  Make your time at the gym worthwhile and continue to make positive changes to your diet.  Now is the time to work harder than ever.  Results remain the best motivator, so keep battling to reach the goals you’ve set out to achieve.  Don’t become a first quarter statistic who has already abandoned their New Year’s resolutions.  Take responsibility for what you’ve set out to accomplish.  Take responsibility to use your full potential.
