Congratulations to you or your accomplishing the fitness goals you have set for yourself! What’s that, you have not accomplished them yet, you’re trying but you have not gotten there yet?

Well, let’s explore this “trying” thing you are talking about. There is no such thing as “trying”, you do a thing, or you don’t do a thing. In the words of the Immortal “Yoda” from the “Star Wars Series”;
“Do or not do, there is no try.” Truth he speaks.

Once you make the mental commitment to reach your goal, bench press 300lbs., lose 50 lbs., run a 5k, half  marathon or compete in the IronMan I suggest daily you reinforce your mental commitment to your training and your goal.

Recently I had a group of 14 people run in the A1A Marathon and out of the group that ran last year I told them they were going to finish 10 minutes better than last year. This is a big reduction in time for anyone that does not know about cutting time of in a race like that.

However, all during our training I constantly reinforced they were going to finish faster, I even tricked them in training with false times during training. I had trained their belief system in their mind and once the mind accepts a thing the body must follow.

Yes I am happy to report that everyone beat their time from the previous year, not only by ten but twelve minutes. 

So as I was saying great job for accomplishing your fitness goals!
Yes, you’re welcomed.
