Fitness Fusion

The secret into the power of motivation, accountability, and support in a way that can ONLY be accomplished in a social community like the inner circle of Good Life Fitness/N-10sive Boot Camps.  The BIG 3 important factors for your success are:

1.  Personal improvement starting with one meal, one workout, one day at a time.

2.  Focus on progress not perfection.

3.  Changing daily habits to transform your lifestyle.

Bonus:)   Keep in mind that fat loss is not linear to weight loss!!

Wow peer pressure and a bucket full of crabs!  Sounds interesting?  Peer pressure can be the #1 downfall to a person’s fitness success!  With Spring approaching the grilling season, weddings, and large holiday seasons are right around the corner! The summer time is a challenging time of the year to stay focused on the fitness plan! My advice is you will really have to stick to your guns!  Don’t cave in!  Be prepared ahead of time! 

In the fitness world and in life I like to visualize people as crabs.  Have you ever noticed a fisherman’s crab bucket has no lid on it?  Why?  Well when one crab tries to escape the other crabs will pull him down.  No crab ever escapes.  Dating back to the college days I lived with guys that were constantly trying to get me to fail on my diet.  Don’t get me wrong I ate my fair share of pizza and beer, but when I got serious I was 100% commited to the plan! Now while I was cooking up my chicken breast, brown rice, and brocolli, these guys were eating pizza!  They constantly ridiculed me trying to get me to fail.  Stick to your guns!  Remember “No Food Tastes As Good As The Feeling Of Having The Body Of Your Dreams”!  I love that line from Bill Phillips!  I am a firm believer in the cheat day or 3 cheat meal theory to help alleviate total disaster!  Have fun but keep your DREAMS in check!!! 

To be successful with your fitness goals stick to the “10th person theory“.  Choose your surroundings and friends wisely.  Choose 9 other people that are on the same mindset of fitness that you are.  This goes for all aspects of your life.  The goal is that you will be 1/10 of those successful people!    Avoid the crabs in life that will constantly bring you down.  Be an optimist!!

Dedicated To Your Fitness Success!
