Find Your "Why."

When you find your "why"- the singular reason, the motivating force behind your desire to re-claim your body and your health- then you have unshakable commitment- and your fitness success becomes a forgone conclusion.

Because when your "why" is strong enough, you will show up for your training sessions, every time- without fail. And, as Woody Allen says, "90% of success is just showing up!"

And here's something that is profound...

THE IRONY OF COMMITMENT... IS THAT IT'S DEEPLY LIBERATING.

Nothing has the power to eliminate stress, anxiety and worry like commitment. Commitment sets you free- it liberates you. Because we all recognize, at some level, that commitment in inevitable if we truly want what we want. And it is precisely that commitment which empowers us to get what we want. Intention is where you start, the goal is where you finish- but it's your commitment that carries you through the race.

I hope that doesn't sound "hokey" to you... because it's not. Commitment is the cure. Because commitment produces action, and action produces results.

Committed to your health,
