ELIMINATING EXCUSES | fitness

As you continue pressing towards that which is your calling in life, I wish you success in your journey. I hope you remember to take care of your body; it is a blessing and a gift. Your high performing mind and strong spirit are best complimented by a fit and healthy body. It will take consistent effort to reach your fitness goals and it is not always going to be fun. However, stay the course. Envision how sweet it will be to say “I did it! Now, what’s next?!” Celebrate your progress. The same disclipline and perserverance that has made you successful in your academic, professional and personal endeavors will enable your to be succcessful is achieveing and exceeding your fitness goals.

In honor of my birthday this week, this will be my only posting for the week. Also, I’d like to say happy birthday to all of you celebrating your birthday this month. Please continue to post your comments and questions and I’ll get back to you.

DO SOMETHIN’!

This week we are going to deviate from our normal exercise routine. I want you to get outside of your house/apartment and explore a new activity for your exercise or do an exercise/activity that you enjoy. Go for a run, go swim, play some basketball, play soccer, go for an indoor rock climb, play tennis, play ultimate frisbee, etc. As you can see, I am working the speed bag. I love the speed bag because it improves punching coordination and handspeed. It also works your shoulders and you back (lats and traps). Boxing is a great sport and I encourage you all to learn to box.

This will be my only posting for the week but please feel free to post any comments or questions that you might have and I’ll get back to you.

Before you get started with your activity, make sure you warm up and drink plenty of fluids throughout your activity. DO SOMETHIN’!
