… AND OTHER SECRETS TO BETTER FITNESS
Struggling to get to the gym? The problem may be that your reason for going is, well, basic. We’ve got to dump traditional goals like losing weight. They’re too ordinary to inspire us.
“Stop seeing fitness goals as just items to check off,” says Menachem Brodie, a certified strength and conditioning coach who has trained gold-medal athletes. “When our goals are something we care about, the path unfolds before us. Motivation to push through will be there!”

While there are many different ways that one can work towards becoming successful, ONE theme will remain true throughout nearly every single avenue one chooses, and that is:
Your success is determined by how many people you are able to help solve a problem, or helping others to improve the level/quality of something in their life.

As an Expert coach, I’m constantly asked: What do professional athletes do different? How did they get to the next level?
While these seem like easy questions, the answers are actually complex. Every athlete is incredibly unique, complex and has their own strengths & weaknesses. In addition, they have their own challenges- personal, professional, and athletic, which they need to overcome, and learn from.

We all have goals we want to accomplish in life. Things we GENUINELY want to do, but get put off for later, until they never happen.
I’m not talking about bathing, feeding yourself, or sleeping – but rather, about feeding your mind and your soul.
These things tend to get lost nowadays. We, as a society, are so focused on making money and ‘having’ things instead of increasing our knowledge, skills, and abilities we can use to help others and the world.

EVERYDAY POWER
Happiness.
If we aren’t careful, we can chase after it, day in and day out, as if it is some end point.
It’s NOT.
Happiness is not some THING to achieve. Nor is it some magical destination.
Happiness is a part of our journey in life. It is a state of mind, a state of being that one must seek to attain, maintain, and accomplish. Yoga masters have spent lifetimes seeking it. Buddhists spend hundreds of hours trying to attain it. Addicts and drug users seek short-term artificial bursts of it (which ultimately destroys the pure, true form or happiness).
So, we should be happy all the time, right?
FOCUS- MOTIVATIONAL VIDEO
NO matter what your goal is – to get out of debt, to win a championship, to get a new job – you must have the FOCUS to put in the work and be committed to becoming who you need to be, in order to attain that which you seek.
You’re not trying to live a fake life, a life just for show, with no real content to it. You’re out there, FOCUSED, putting in the time, learning the tough lessons, working the long hours, getting up, and marking each day off the calendar with a red marker, because you KNOW where you’re going.

“Perfect.”
“That’s perfect!”
“Keep doing it until it’s perfect!”
“Perfect practice makes perfect!”
The expectations today are that we go until we get it perfect. Not right, but PERFECT.
Humans are many things, but perfect is NOT one of them.

While I initially wrote the following to help a journalist out with a story they were working on, I realized a few days after the story was posted, that this more detailed information on overtraining is far too valuable to not be released for athletes to see and understand for themselves.
I hope you find this article helpful for yourself, and for those you train with. Please share this article with those whom are starting the sport, are looking to learn more about their body, or who may be on the path to overtraining.
VI- ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE FOR RUNNERS
The dog days of summer can be quite a love-hate relationship for runners. Some relish the opportunity to run in a cool forest on a humid day and feel their body cut through the soup-like humidity as they coast along. Meanwhile, others cringe at the thought of heavy sweating, and training on hot pavement, as they push towards their weekly mileage goals. No matter which side of the coin you’re on, dehydration and heat related illnesses are two things that MUST be taken into serious consideration as you continue to run in the heat. Here is how to run during the dog days of summer.
