Keep Your Mental Game Strong
What you have to train harder & more consistently than anything else, is your brain.
Did you lift today??
There’s still time to strength train today. It’s amazing how you can fatigue a few major muscle groups & feel strong & ACCOMPLISHED in a matter of minutes! If nothing else, do 10 push-ups & 20 deep lunges –3 to 5 times!
Start the first time thru with modifications (push-ups on knees & shallow lunges), to warmup. You don’t even have to change your clothes, set up or get equipment… justdoit!

If the pics of Cancun were annoying, my apologies. But I bet for SOMEONE, they sparked inspiration in some way
Team & friends & BB.. Thank you for everything!
Who pushes you to be your best?
It’s hard to believe we met when we were 12. I thought he was so cool because he was hilarious, super athletic, & smart. Now Matt & I have been married over 20 years, we’re best friends, we’re stillll pushing each other & most importantly, making each other laugh

It’s In The Not Knowing That We Get Stuck
True, right?!
…Because what if you act on it & you fail?! The path to success involves failures & mistakes.. In fitness & in business. You will probably suck at first & wanna quit at times! You need to expect that as “experience” & be ok with that. My own personal successes are a direct result of my own personal DAILY failures. Being afraid to fail is perfectly ok, but NOT taking baby steps THRU the fear is not ok… If u want to live your life by design.
Balanced Pushing
Are results really 80% nutrition, 20% exercise? What do you think??Idk the exact % but there’s no question nutrition is a huge factor.
But that said…
When you push yourself physically to do what your brain says you don’t have the time or energy to do, you start valuing what you CAN become as a person, with hard work.
When you achieve something physically, you’ve also just achieved something mentally.
It’s extremely empowering.
Becoming fit doesn’t require that you beat up your body, I think we all know that by now. Just eating right & moderate exercise daily can lead to a healthy life.
BUT.. accomplishing something physically *challenging* puts you in a positive frame of mind.
And when you’re in a positive frame of mind, you handle stress better, you sleep better, you like and respect your body better, you like other PEOPLE better, and you EAT better
So… I’m not so sure exercise is only 20% of the full equation
