YOUR GPS

Welcome everyone...Your weekly schedule is your roadmap to fitness greatness. You will encounter detours...handle them.  Never allow detours  to be your excuses for failure. Climbing MT. Everest, you wouldn't keep looking at the peak...NO, you would look a few ft. ahead of you. You climb a ladder, do you look strictly at the top rung...NO, you look at the next step to take. Your roadmap to your success is your daily and weekly schedule. You don't have a schedule...then you don't have a roadmap...then you will never get there. Tip of the week...toning for arms and shoulders. Wall Push outs...stand comfortable distance from wall, hands on wall and lean against wall and slowly push out, at this point you should still have a slight forward lean. Ideal toning for triceps. Have your workout partner stand behind you and push slightly against you. Do 10-25 every other day. See and feel results after just 5 sessions. www.secondwindfitnessfilm.com

# 10

Hello and welcome everyone...how I prepare for each year's training will be spelled out in the following text. Hope this will help you as much as 100's of others. My weekly schedule is written
out with the words "climb Mt. Everest." I have been doing that for over 50 years. "We can age, but we don't have to get old. We live as though we will never die. We die as though we have never lived.
We rush to grow up and then long to be kids again." The # one
mistake men and women make...No Mental Training. Pre training
and pre game mistakes. 1) strict expectations. 2) lack of self confidence. 3) getting distractions, putting an act, show off. 4) park
your troubles, separate your life from the sport/competing. 5) over
thinking. Don't cram before competing. 6) worry/fear. 7) poor planning. 8) psyching yourself out before competing. 9) worry about what others think. 10) allowing fear of failing to be the motivating factor. Finally...facing the truth. Profile/define yourself.
Energy/action plan. Energy, productivity, performance. Next week,
prep conclusion and workout schedule.
Have a meaningful life everyone...Jimmy O

THE CLIMB

Hello and welcome everyone...over the past few blogs we have addressed the importance of mental
toughness and how to attain that critical status. The number one question that I get is, "how do I set
goals?" My response, "break it down into it's smallest parts." Picture yourself standing at the foot of
a Mt. Everest. When you look up, wow, too much, too high, too big. Look at any Mt. Everest and take it one foot at a time. Bringing that thought into our arena of training/fitness...set daily goals. Your routine will become more meaningful and rewarding. You climb your Mt Everest "one foot at
a time." Sochi...think of how many steps these Olympians took to get there. Doubt changes to when
and yes I can...I will. Each workout is a win. Need more? Google Kyle Maynard.
Have a meaningful life everyone...Jimmy O

MT EVEREST

Hello and welcome everyone...most of us have heard the term "in the zone." Meaning in the sports world "you've got it going." Let's
spend some time on the term "comfort zone." Human nature gravitates to that comfort zone in most everything we do. That
zone is also a "DANGER ZONE." That comfort feeling exists in
the work place, competing, training and our workouts. We become
lax, habitual and we lose sight of "raising the bar" and allowing
ourselves to get better. Make your workouts/training tougher than
the competitive event. Conquer yourself through your workouts.
I workout alone...always pushing myself to reach higher. We hear
about speed breaking the sound barrier...we need to break the
comfort barrier. Stay out of that danger zone. People don't climb
MT. Everest just to reach the top...they climb it to conquer
themselves. When will you climb your MT Everest?

Have a great life everyone! Jimmy O
