Don’t
Just Do It
If you are working out and thinking "What am I going to do for dinner",
"Wonder how I look" or anything to that effect, then you are "Just doing it". If
the weight is that light or the exercise is that easy, do you really think you are
going to achieve any real benefit from it?
I don't know about you but when you are at work and thinking about dinner or how
you look you will be much less productive than if you focus on the task at hand.
It is very easy to just go with the flow and let your mind drift off while you are
training. Achieving your goals is never an easy task, and some of them will need
all your concentration.
I always talk about hamster fitness at my workshops and classes. Now I don't have
anything against hamsters and I believe they truly are fit little critters but they
just run on the wheel to nowhere. Next time you drift away whether it is on the
treadmill or pressing a weight think and get a feel of what you are doing. Don't
be a hamster.
Using your mind to focus your power and energy is a very powerful tool that you
can use. So don't just do it, feel and think it. Most of all enjoy the reward that
you have done your best and put your heart, mind and soul into the workout. The
distinction between fitness, health and life I believe is closer than most people
think.

being fast can make an otherwise ordinary athlete into a star.
