I understand this headline is probably one of the last you'd expect to read on a fitness website, but I believe any great trainer would agree with me. Now, I'm not saying learning good form and technique isn't important at all (This is a major part of my livelihood), but for true success in any fitness endeavor, you MUST have a strong vision of who you want to become. The why is much more important than the how. Take a guy who is new to working out but sees himself as Arnold

From time to time, I find myself at parties, events, or functions where there are mounds of delicious cookies, cakes, brownies, and ice creams being served, much to the delight of all the people. The partygoers partake of the sugary goodness and a wonderful time is had by all. However, someone often notices when I don't have any desserts, and the first thing they say to me is, "Wow, you have a lot of willpower to not have any of this cake! I sure couldn't do that! No wonder y

Have you ever set a goal for yourself but never ended up reaching it? If yes, don't worry, I've been there on so many occasions! But I have learned a few tricks to turn that around and boost my success rate when it comes to reaching goals, especially as it comes to fitness. Personal training is an awesome profession, but it takes more than having a client do certain workouts to hit their desired fitness benchmarks. The mindset has to change for the body to change.

After your seventh set, you add some planks for good measure. Because that six-pack is right around the corner. You first just have to melt the fat off your stomach with one more set of sit ups... Ehh. I'll grant that doing a lot of ab workouts will give anyone really strong abs, wh

Everyone knows that if you want to bulk up and get big muscles, you grab heavy weights and do low reps, but if you just want to tone up and get lean, you pick up some light weight and go to town with high reps. It's common knowledge. That just makes sense, right? Mm, we'll think about that later, but first, what do people even mean by "bulking" or "toning" or "leaning out?" When people use terms like these, they usually have some role model in mind (maybe Arnold Schwarzenegge

Most people know that, in general, if you want to lose weight, you're going to have to eat less - and at that, eat less junk food and more whole foods. If weight loss is a function of how many calories you consume versus how many calories you expend, it makes sense to simply eat less and exercise more, right? The big problem with all this is, as humans who don't have built-in calorie calculators, we have a tendency to underestimate how much we eat and overestimate how much we

Just wanted to share some thoughts I was having about why people have a hard time getting to their goals. I believe a large part of it comes from what you're thinking BEFORE you even make your first attempt. #video #motivation #diet #goals #failure
