The New Year Resolutions. We have all made them. We have all heard them. How many of us have followed through with them? Well-intended thoughts with limited, if any consistency. The “C” word. Consistency is the most important aspect to your training program.
Over the years, I have seen numerous individuals come and go in the gym for various reasons. They will come in, over train for a couple of days…become incredibly sore, and then not return for awhile. Consistency is the key and it is what keeps you in the game, so when you decide to start that training regimen again, start it off a little easier and gear your self to be consistent. You will not become as sore, but it will be motivating to return the next day and continue moving forward.
Start by coming in every other day for a couple of weeks. Get yourself acclimatized to the workout environment and then start to push it. As you begin to push the envelope, start by taking every set to exhaustion. As you improve, work your way up to a 6 day split…either 6 on 1 off or 3 on 1 off, depending on your goals. It is always good to start with a personal trainer who can map out a program for you based on your goals. Learn everything you can from them. After you have been training for awhile, re-fresh with some new sessions so that you can insure your technique is spot on and empowered…a very key element.
Begin with these simple principles and remember that consistency is the key to long term success…Empower that!!
Being an entrepreneur has given me a deep appreciation for individuals who are success oriented and never give up. The drive to always “push through” is a trait of successful people.
I have been fortunate to associate myself with many successful individuals over my life. It began with my father who instilled in me the ability to step outside of the box…to create something out of nothing. He taught me the importance of integrity in business...traits that I have incorporated into the various business models I employ.
I spent the first ten years of my career in the medical field. I worked side by side with amazing individuals who put their own self-interests aside in order to nurture others back to good health. Many times I witnessed life and death situations. It was always humbling to experience the team-work that evolved around trying to save a lives.
As my career path evolved into the business world, not only could I bring those experiences into my persona, I saw a need to spread information…real information for real situations. A close friend of mine began to mentor me in aspects of blogging. He has given me incredible insight into how a blog should be developed…how to focus my passion for helping mentor people to becoming successful entrepreneurs. This passion for mentoring others began when I was a young child and continues today. It is not about me, but rather those who have influenced my life.
I am a work-out addict and a real “ski dog”. Sorry guys and gals…I do not “ride”. I live for deep powder and steep chutes. I love the feeling of looking over the edge of a steep run…feel my heart beat faster with that adrenaline rush and then “jump in”. I love golf…but I always wonder if I will ever break 100…lol! Most of all, I love my wonderful family…they are the best! Thanks for stopping by and I hope you feel empowered today.
