Impossible?

Impossible is just a big word thrown around by little men,
the blood suckers or leaches of life and hope...
who find it easier to live in mediocrity
than to explore the power they have to Succeed.

Impossible is a term used by the Dream Takers...
and embraced by the ones looking for an excuse to fail.

Impossible is a word that is
mocked and laughed at by the Dream Makers...
The ones that live to make this world a better place.

Impossible is not a fact.
"Impossible" is a dare for Winners and Champions of life.

Impossible is an opinion from underachievers.


Impossible is nothing.

Sooner or later you have to make a choice.

Leave behind your passion and your dreams...
Or BE RELENTLESS and
Have the strength to look past
all the negative, discouraging and pathetic faces...

And look at Yourself and know that
You have what it takes,
and
You will prove them all wrong
and
SUCCEED!

Releasing the Past

I doesn't matter if you were the fat kid in high school, or the black sheep of the family, or the lazy teenager who hated exercise.

RELEASE THE PAST...FOCUS ON THE BRIGHT FUTURE AHEAD!

Those past problems are not serving you well in the present, and they certainly aren't going to help you achieve your goals for the future. If you let go of old conceptions of yourself,
you can maintain an open mind and be open to all possibilities.

It is important for you to let go of the past in order to re-create yourself in the present.
It is imperative that you focus on your vision, your goals and go after them with Relentless Pursuit,
never allowing anything negative to become obstacles.
Remember...Obstacles are those silly things that take our eyes off of the target
and minimize our vision for success.

FOCUS...Be strong and powerful, Be Confident...
And let's achieve all of our goals together!
Have a Powerful Day!

Go After Your Dream!

"When you have a dream...
You have to protect it.
When people can't do something themselves...
They tell you that you can't do it.
Go after your dream...
And prove them wrong!"

There are three kinds of people we must deal with as we pursue our dreams:

1. Dream Vampires... who, for some strange reason, do everything they can to suck the life out of your dream. Perhaps they are "jealousy-driven" or due to their own failures in pursuing their dreams, they want to see you fall short of your goals. They tempt you with desserts and lunches out, knowing that you have made a commitment to be all you can be. Although they know you are dedicated to hitting the gym several times each week, they try to dissuade you with other plans... because after all, you deserve a break. Beware... their intentions are not good.

2. Dream Vultures... who are more passive in their desire to see you fail. They hang around and watch until you stumble in your pursuit. Then they swoop in with those famous words... "I told you so."

Dream Vampires and Dream Vultures are negative people. The best thing you can do concerning negative people is AVOID THEM!! Do not give negative people any more time than is absolutely necessary.

Every person we interact with is either building us up, or tearing us down... spend time with those who build you up... which brings us to our third type of person...

3. Dream Visionaries...These are the people who believe in your dream, encourage you to pursue your dream, see your dream, challenge you to reach your dream and assist you in accomplishing that dream.

As your ULTRA FIT personal trainer, I am here to be your dream visionary! You have what it takes to accomplish the fitness goals we have set and it is my privilege to partner with you in your pursuit of becoming "ultra-fit."

Your relationships, your work, your leisure pursuits, your intellectual capacity, even your spiritual growth are all lifted to a higher level as ULTRA FIT delivers stimulated muscle, lower body fat, and more energy!

Keep your eyes on the dream, my friend! Together we will see that dream become a reality!


Have a powerful day!

Resistance Training For Cancer Patients

A recent Canadian study on the
effects of Resistance training (weight training)
on breast cancer patients undergoing
Chemotherapy produced incredible results.

Researchers found that weight training improved
chemotherapy completion rates.
A properly executed weight training program
improved self esteem, physical fitness levels
and body composition and allowed
the patient's a better and more successful recovery rate.
The study showed that although cardio and weight training
both have advantages and benefits...
The resistance training produced broader
and more positive effects and was
found more tolerable during the chemotherapy treatment.
