I have to be honest...
I hate the word "fitness"...
Let me explain..
"Fitness" to me, spells mediocrity.
"Fitness" sounds like the half-ass workouts that I see in the gyms all the time.
"Fitness" is a trainer who has his or her client doing lots of "fun" and useless exercises in the name of "just getting fit and healthy" and to "change things up."
Fitness is the individual who is "exercising" for the sake of saying they exercised but they aren't getting anywhere. (Oh, and it's been years...)
People like to say "everything in moderation." Yes, in some cases I guess that's fine. But with a goal of getting fit and being awesome, you've gotta go all in.
Nothing GREAT happens in moderation.
No great book was ever written by someone who dabbled in writing.
No great politician ever changed the world and lived his life "in balance".
No world class athlete ever trained in his sport "in moderation."
Greatness happens in the extreme.
I am not suggesting that everyone live like a bodybuilder and give up their social lives forever, not hardly. But what I am suggesting is that in life we need to surge and coast.
When it is time to make some dramatic changes and change your life, it is time to SURGE.
Commit Fully. Get it done. Don't dip your feet in. DIVE IN!!
Once you reach your goals, you can COAST for a while. Bring back some balance.
But if you are reaching for greatness, for awesomeness; don't settle for mediocrity. Go ALL in!
Don't exercise with the goal of "just being fit". That is not exciting enough to get you to do what you need to do to see results.
Train with the goal of a complete transformation. Do whatever is necessary to achieve that. Change the way you eat, change the way you sleep, change the way you work out.
That is when the magic happens.
