Take a moment to think back on your recent accomplishments. Whether your accomplishments have been made at the gym, work, school, etc., how did you get there? Well I can almost guarantee that while you were in the process of reaching your goals, you did not sit there thinking focusing on where you started. Of course, you'd sit there dreaming about where you would end up, dreaming about the moment you would reach your goals in the future. That is the way to success. Don't look back. Don't focus on where...

No one ever became a badass without getting up, and hitting the gym. Being a badass is more than just physical, it's also your attitude. To be a badass we must have it all; strong mind, strong body. If you truly want to be a badass, you must change your outlook on life and live like it's the only life you've got. You'll work extra hard to be in great shape, you'll work even harder when you don't feel like, and no matter what, you'll never give up! After all,...

"It's hard to beat a person who never gives up." In other words: a person with the perseverance and the will to succeed, will keep trying until they do. We have all been in a situation where we felt like giving up. It is a choice to be someone who never gives up, no matter how challenging things may seem, and no matter how far away your end goal seems to be. It is a choice to believe that failure is not an option. 

Is it really Monday already? ... It sure is! In most cases, you're probably not looking at the clock too much during the weekend. Time flies by when you're having fun. Guess what, time goes by just as fast Monday through Friday.  Many of us have jobs, school, the gym and other responsibilities to pursue today. Sometimes it's hard to commit to our responsibilities when we have so many things going on in our personal lives to distract us. Regardless, we get up and get going. It can be easy to let...

It's a new day and a new week. How do you plan to make progress to be the best version of you? Are you going to procrastinate? Are you going to make excuses? Are you going to tell yourself that you'll start tomorrow, and then tomorrow comes and you have another reason to say 'I'll start tomorrow' again? Or, are you going to choose NOW. Now is the time to start. Now is the time to shine. ;) You'll never regret starting now. You may end up wishing you started earlier....

We all have experienced a Monday where everything seems to go wrong, you feel disoriented, tired, etc. As a result, you begin to fall more and more into a bad mood. Hopefully, that does not describe your Monday today! If it does, as soon as you can make time for yourself, you should do at least a simple workout. Afterall, we all know how great it feels to finish a workout. If one thing can go right throughout the day, why not make it be a workout! Listed below are...

If we want something important to us changed in our lives, we must get, and do it ourselves. Back in the day, there were TV’s that you had to get up and switch the channel if you wanted it changed. Now we have remotes for almost anything. One click of a button we can make a cup of coffee, start our car, shut the blinds, etc. etc. We live in a world where technology seems to be making everything faster, and easier for us. Unfortunately, they haven’t come up with...

Monday, we meet again! Whether you are trying to lose weight, or you are trying to go up in weights for gains; this quote may apply to your current fitness goals. I’m sure you’ve heard people say, “Take one day at a time.” Well, the concept is the same. One pound lost is better than one pound gained! One pound added to the weights is better than nothing!  However, for the times when things seem to reach a plateau, it is easy to get discouraged. We have two choices we...

Can small changes really make a big difference? Of course, they can! When you make small changes every day, the outcome can be very great over time. Since it is Monday, most of us have set some goals for this week. Some may want to lose weight, tone up, build muscle, or just improve our fitness overall. Most of us know to take things one step at a time in achieving our goals, and the same applies to this. The small changes will add up over time to make a...

Happy Monday, everyone! At some point in their lives, we all face a challenge that seems to be hard to reach. Sometimes slowly reaching our goals is the best way to succeed. If we push ourselves too hard, too fast, and have too high of expectations, we can burn ourselves out and quit. That is a reflection of poor character. When we exhaust ourselves so early on in the process, we can end up worse off than before we even started. What character traits come to mind when you think...
