I've noticed that a lot of people lack motivation to get themselves into shape... some clients I've worked with over the years are extremely motivated and work their butts off, while others just want a "quick fix" and whine and complain about working hard.
I don't work with whiners and complainers. Whiners = losers.
I recently heard a quote from Will Smith, an actor who I admire greatly for his hard work ethic, both in the gym and in his career. It went something like this:
"I will NOT be outworked. Period... You might have more talent than me, you might be smarter than me, you might be sexier than me, you might be all of those things. You got it on me in nine categories. But if we get on the treadmill together, there's two things: Either you're getting off first, or I'm gonna die. It's really that simple."
-Will Smith, on his work ethic
Yes! Now THAT'S the way to get motivated! You gotta love it.
He was obviously talking about much more than just working hard during exercise... this was about life... but if you think of that quote before you go to the gym, you'll be ready to get yourself one ragingly good workout!
It's about WAY more than just mindlessly going through the motions in your workouts... it's about getting in the mentality that you're working to be the best you can be, and that you are unstoppable!
It's about visualizing your body being as lean & mean as you want it to be... and your health so vibrant and energetic, that nothing is getting in your way to achieving everything you set out to achieve.
Like I've said a thousand times before, true lifelong fitness starts in your mind... and your training and nutrition follow once your mind is in the right place.
Share some motivation with your friends and family and fwd this email on to anyone you think will enjoy it.
Til next ezine issue,
Don't be lazy... be lean.
