Happy Valentine’s Day Friend!

I hope you’ve had a wonderful and healthy 2012 thus far.

So, my 32nd birthday is a month away (March 10th).  When I turned 30, I went skydiving some special people – If you’ve never gone, i highly recommend it!

Now, with my next birthday looming only a month away, I’ve been contemplating what I should do to honor the day and there’s only one thing I really want and that is to help Raise $2000 for Tyler’s Fund.

Recently, I found out that my good friend Deanna’s nephew, Tyler 16 years old, was diagnosed with Stage 4 Osteosarcoma, a rare form of pediatric bone cancer.  I remember meeting little Tyler when he was just a baby, about 1 years old.  Deanna and her Sister would say he was going to grow up to be a football player.  When I found out, I felt like the wind was taken out of me. To think, the little boy I remember, was going to be spending most of his time in hospitals and not being a typical teenager.

Tyler’s cancer has not only taken an incredible toll on him, but on his family as well.  Tyler is raised by his mother, Kelly, alone.  And to deal with the medical expenses and time off of work that Kelly takes to spend with Tyler, the family has set up a fund and appreciate any kind of help, big or little.

So with that in mind, I was compelled to help out in the best way I know how…  And that is to make you such a no-brainer offer in exchange for a small donation, you couldn’t possibly lose!

My personal goal is to help raise $2000 for Tyler’s Fund.  And to do this I’m going to give 5 sessions of training at my gym for a donation of $25. Now in exchange for your help, besides giving you 5 sessions I’m also going to include:

So you see, by helping out, you’re also helping yourself out!  What better way to get in the best shape possible and pass on good vibes??

Now, there are 2 ways you can help out:

1. Make a $25 donation via the link below and in exchange, I’m going to give you a gift certificate for 5 sessions of Personal Training (over a $257 value) plus my 6 Week Body Revolution Fat Loss System.

Here’s a recent video I made to show you the type of training you can expect

Our Personal Training Location!

Hey Steve here!  So today, before I left to go workout, I thought of something really important I wanted to share with you and didn’t have enough time to write out a full blog post.   I knew that if I opened up my computer to start writing I’d have to skip my workout (a big no-no)… So I killed 2 birds with one stone and made a video for you while I drove to the gym! (don’t try this at home, I love multitasking!).

Now I know this isn’t necessarily legal but I’ve always believed in asking for forgiveness before permission, and it was important to make this video for you!

So, in this video I talk about your fitness mindset and how to break through your mental barriers.

If it’s one thing that we don’t lack, it’s information and advice.  There are literally hundreds if not thousands of ways to get fit.  Yet the number of people, especially Americans getting overweight and obese continues to climb.

You see, the only difference between those that DO and those that DON’T – is mindset.  If your mindset and attitude are strong, you’ll never quit and therefore you’ll ultimately achieve your  goals. And since the best way to guarantee you’re going to fail at something is to quit, we should talk about how to prepare your mindset to never, ever quit.

Ps. Be forewarned, the video’s a bit shaky and I’m still getting used to being on video (also my mouth got dry and I didn’t have water) but I threw all that aside to bring you good useful content!  So watch the video and below it I’ve listed 3 ways to break your mental barriers and reset your fitness  mindset.

(I reference Roger Bannister, the first person to ever break the 4 minute mile and how it relates to your success. Hope you find it useful.)

3 Ways to Break Your Mental Barriers and Reset your Fitness Mindset

1. Set an Outrageous Goal – this is so important to your motivation and fitness drive.  Its not good enough to say you want to lose weight, its got to be powerful and have a ton of emotions and personal meaning for you to want to get there, here’s an example from a client of mine a few years back: “I want to look good in a bikini for the first time in my life because I’m tired of being the fat one in my group of friends.” … Wow, now that is a powerful driving force.  Take time and really develop your driving force and here’s the secret – what reasons are going to get you out of bed at 5:00am to workout before work when all you want to do is sleep?
2. Be a Copycat – You’ve heard of the saying, “don’t reinvent the wheel”.  Keep it simple by following the steps of successful people.  Success leaves clues… and so does failure!  Research someone who’s already accomplished what you want and do what they did.  This way you get the quickest roap map to your goals minus the detours!
3. Take Massive Freakin’ Action – this is the most important step.  Remember this, you’ll miss 100% of the shots you don’t take! Once you have your goal in mind, do at least one thing every day that will get you one step closer.  Even if it’s doing a set of push-ups, get off your behind and take ACTION!

So there’s your list of 3, thank you for watching my video and please don’t forget to leave a comment!
