Ahnold's Holy Workout Shirt and Dumbo's Feather

Have you ever noticed that person in the gym that always seems to be wearing the same shirt every time he works out? Or a hat or shorts or whatever, no matter how old and holy it gets it's all they wanna work out in. It's their favorite ;)Maybe that person is you, I know I've had my share. Even Arnold Schwarzenegger talked about always having a favorite piece of workout attire that seemed to help him "get in the zone." You see our mind is very powerful. It can provide great resistance, or assistance. Do you remember in the Disney movie Dumbo when Dumbo thought it was a magical feather that made him fly? He could fly all along without it but until he learned that he accredited flying to a crow's feather. Okay, maybe I'm getting off on a tangent here but if you know me, that doesn't surprise you at all. My point is that our mind is most often our biggest barrier. Dumbo was capable of flying without a feather but didn't BELIEVE he could fly without it. Arnold believed he got a better workout if he wore his favorite workout shirt. I used to have a hat that I wore till it was worn out because it helped me get a killer workout. It's not in a feather, a shirt, or a hat. It's in us regardless. We just have to tap into it. BELIEVE... So I'm leaving you today with a quote from none other than Arnold himself.

"The mind is the limit. As long as the mind can envision the fact that you can do something, you can do it, as long as you really believe 100 percent. "

I'm back! ;) Yes, I'm very pleased to say that I'm not only back from my conference in Connecticut, but I'm also back to my blog. It had been so long since I left this blog to collect dust ( Almost a year! ) that I actually had to dig up my password to post again. Why did I go so long without making a single post? Was it because I felt I didn't have anything interesting enough to talk about? Because I was too busy and pushed blogging to the back burner? Or was it honestly because like many other things I tell myself I need to do, I just wasn't taking any action to actually do! Well, it's a new day! I am returning to Tucson with a new attitude, new inspiration and new resolve. I was in Stamford, Connecticut to attend the Ryan Lee Boot Camp. I was joined by 300 of the top fitness professionals in the world. on the last day the closing speaker was Dax Moy, one the very best personal trainers in the UK. He's a very motivating speaker and just one of the things he said that stuck with me was, "you only get paid for done." Right? We only get the benefits, whether that's a paycheck, or a fitness goal If we TAKE ACTION . Whatever ever our goals are, we can and will reach them. We only need to make a SPECIFIC goal, then action steps to achieve that goal. So What's your goal? And what's your first action step to reaching it? ;) I took a walk around Stamford on the last night I was there and saw the sign in the picture up there from across the street. I HAD to have a picture with it.

Make it Happen!
