Great Fitness Quote

"Obstacles are those frightening things that become visible when we take our eyes off our goals."

Although not directly about fitness, this great quote from Henry Ford has validity in any endeavour.

Weight Loss Tip

Start with your “self talk.”

"Self talk" is the inner dialogue that you run through your brain.

Ask yourself this question: Is your self talk positive about yourself, and your ability to meet your weight loss goals or is it negative and keeping you from attaining the things you want?

From today, start being aware of what you are saying to yourself and if it is negative, start replying with a more positive statement (generally not out loud) ;-)

But remember, all the positive self talk in the world won't help unless you actually act on it.

Getting Big

If you want to put on lots of muscle, a simple but powerful thought that I heard at a Tom Platz seminar is a great place to start.

Tom was a awesomely muscled bodybuilding superstars of the 1980's and he said that if you want to get big "Think Big, Eat Big and Train Big"

This statement encapsulates a mental, dietary and training philosophy that is hard to beat if your goal is to put on size.
