IDEAS CARRY MOODS
IDEAS CARRY MOODS
Thomas Huxley said, "The great end of life
is not knowledge but action."
"The greatest sin against success is in not doing wrong; it's in doing nothing!
There is a powerful tendency to procrastinate, to forget, to lose interest, to get lazy, to get discouraged, to get rusty.
There are often side interests which slow us down or get us off the track.
With inactivity,we soon lose confidence in our ability.
We either lie down, it down, or fall down on the job.
A little emotion injected into the heart and mind of men is a great motivator.
A soldier might prepare himself for battle by reading war stories and thinking thoughts of heroism and patriotism.
Remember this:
"Ideas carry moods. We can change our mood by changing our ideas and imagination.
Gather motivational material that will give you great thoughts and great ideas and teach you how to motivate yourself."

Top 5 Reasons Why It is Best To Have a Workout Buddy
There are very few things in fitness that I believe in more than having a workout partner. The times in my life when I have had a consistent workout partner are the times that I have been the most fit and dedicated. You can certainly do it on your own, but I have found there to be so many awesome benefits to sharing the pain with a partner or a group. Here are my top 5 reasons why it is better.
1. Accountability: it is so easy to find excuses not to workout. Many of these excuses are actually pretty logical and justifiable, but are still excuses. We are very good at letting ourselves off the hook and letting ourselves down, but we don’t like to let those down around us. So having a workout buddy drastically increases the odds that you will show up for the workouts and not cancel.
2. Camaraderie: Working out with others provides and atmosphere of friendly competition and camaraderie. I remember back to my high school days as an athlete, and looking forward to the interaction with my teammates and pushing each other to get better and improve.
3. Friendships: I was speaking with a client of mine yesterday who is a fitness enthusiast and she was explaining how she feels like her fitness friends or workout buddies are like no other relationships she has. She said that there is something about sweating with each other that creates a strong bond that goes far outside the gym. She says it is a much different bond then she has with her non workout friends. This was an interesting comment, but makes sense based off of research and how certain feel good hormones are released during exercise. Thinking back on my friendships, I would have to agree that most of my best friends are those that I work out with on a somewhat regular basis.
4. Intensity: This is similar to camaraderie, but when we workout with others we push each other to work harder. We don’t want to be shown up and therefore keep pushing when our bodies want to stop, and we do stop, a good workout buddy will shout, “just 5 more seconds!” I don’t know if I have ever pushed myself as hard alone as I do with others. My ego and distaste for losing helps me find that additional level of intensity that I didn’t know I have.
5. Fun!!! One of the most common comments I receive from bootcampers and those I train in small groups is that it is fun!! Interestingly enough, when I did one on one training, I very rarely had clients tell me it was fun. The fun factor ties into all of the things I have mentioned about. It is fun to be with friends or at least people you are getting to know, it is fun to push your body past its own limits, it is fun to know that someone is there keeping you accountable to stick with it. I have found very few people to be able to stick with a fitness program long term that they don’t feel is fun. That is why I encourage everyone to find things that will get you the results, but also that are fun!

The energy from a smile goes unspoken.
When YOU wake up – try it…smile! When you wake your children up – try it…smile at them, get them to smile with you! Follow up with a good morning hug.
Move simply means Move
Instead of just dragging yourself out of bed, jumping in the shower and filling your body with coffee- take 5 and do some basic stretches or a 15 minute Velocity Performance Training Workout
Even better ….get your children involved! It can be as simple as reaching for the ceiling and bending over to reach for the floor.
Be sure you drink a Big glass of water too! Being hydrated ensures a boost of energy!
Music has the ability to calm, soothe and entertain the soul. Play something soothing like Enya or go all out with something fun and upbeat.
Good Morning Sunshine!
