Get Serious!

You’ve got to be kidding!

I have seen some pretty crazy things in the gyms over the last thirty some odd years but what I witnessed the other day has to be right up there with the craziest I have ever seen.

Are you ready for this?

I actually watched a lady doing what might be classified as some kind of dumbbell shoulder press, one arm at a time—while reading, holding her novel in the other hand!

She was using a 5lb dumbbell which was flying up and down at a million miles per hour with absolutely no form or posture. It was bad enough that all the treadmill and elliptical trainers were zoned out in front of the TVs, not focusing at all on their workout, but this was ludicrous. She actually had one of those office bulldog clips holding her page.


Do these people actually expect to get the results they are seeking?


Have they resigned themselves to the excuse of mediocrity?

Or, having tried previously and failed, decided their desires are not attainable but doing something is better than nothing?

Focused attention on purpose is the only way to bring you the results you wish to accomplish quickly and safely.

The old story of trying to start a fire with a magnifying glass comes to mind. The sharper your focus the better your results will be.

The fitness world is no exception to this universal law.

Results-oriented training begins in the mind with purpose and emotional content. Know why you are training, with well defined goals and daily action steps to support them.
