Hello and welcome everyone...who motivates the motivator? An age old question...whether you are a die-hard competitor or a casual
"stay in shape" person, all of us need a jolt once in awhile. Strategies for maintaining High Motivation...1) what are your expected outcomes from each drill/session? 2) Find the why. 3) Make it fun. 4) Focus and refocus. 5) Think of your competitors.
Make/design workouts that are tougher than the actual event. 6) Go
back to basics. 7) Rid the status quo. 8) Write things down, don't
rely on memory. 9) Change routine...create muscle confusion.
10) Go!
Have a meaningful life everyone...Jimmy O

Stick It
Hello and welcome everyone...over the years, every once in awhile
I elect to take a side road to think, observe and gain perspective in
life. So, I'll share what I saw this past week. Watching one of my
fitness class of women participants I noted once again that applying
games, sport and fun, the women achieved a higher level of fitness.
When training and getting in shape becomes FUN, we perform better, longer and are more focused. Also the confidence level is
much higher. You can have structure and still have fun. Also, women have taught me, there must be a social element...a connection. I never disrupt a minute or two for socializing. I call that the "refresher." Another observation...men waste more time than women. Most consider the gym the "pain ctr." Watch men on
a tread mill...not pretty. People going into surgery have the same look. I also observed that both men and women did not illustrate
a "peak " during their routine. I call that the "STICK IT" time
frame. I then visited another one of my fitness classes for people
with disabilities. I observed people having fun while getting into
shape. I am always motivated by people with less doing more and
giving more. Each one of us possess three people inside...the child,
the adult and the parent. As we age we push aside the child within
us. We allow the adult and then the parent to take over our lives.
Bring the child back into your life.
Have a meaningful life everyone...JimmyO
