If not You, then Who?

If not You, then WHO?

The purpose of this blog is that I meet many fitness people who want to start their own business. Its not always fitness studios, some have business ideas for products, restaurants, apparel, and other great ideas. Unfortunately I always get the same response from most of them. They always feel like someone else can do it better, they wont make money, or that they are not ready to pursue it.  I am here to say, IF NOT YOU, THEN WHO?

If you don't open that training studio, then who will
If you don't open that fitness food restaurant, then who will
If you don't release that fitness clothing line, then who will 
If you don't make that DVD, then who will
If you don't create that new training program, then who will
If you don't follow YOUR Dream, then who will!

There will never be a perfect place, perfect time or perfect situation. The time to pursue you idea is now. You have to believe in yourself and what you can accomplish. I hate when people see a product and say, "I had that idea 5 years ago." .  I always want to say, well dumb ass you should have created it then. Some people say the place with the most creative ideas is the graveyard. Think of all those people who didn't follow their dreams or tell others their ideas. They robbed the world of that great idea. If you are reading this now I pray that you don't become one of those people. There is a reason you have that idea in your mind. Its because you were meant to make it appear in the physical form.  I want to leave you with this last statement and I want you to say it to yourself until you Feel It. 
IF NOT YOU, THEN WHO?

Taking the NEXT STEP

Taking the NEXT STEP!! Im sure we have all reached a  point in our lives where we know its time to take that next step, next level, begin the next chapter in our life. It is by far  one of the scariest times for all of us. The point where we realize everything we have ever done has led us to THIS! This is our moment to shine and like Eminem says, " You only get one shot, do not miss your chance blow. Opportunity comes once in a life.".  The one scary thing is, you know after THIS moment, nothing will ever be the same.  Once you cross THIS line, you can not go back.  THIS is it and the pressure is on. They say, "Pressure bust pipes, but It can also make diamonds.", only you can decide what it does to you.  We all get to THIS moment, but few rise to the occasion. Few feel the fear and keep walking forward.  You can either step into greatness or step back into comfort.  Many will choose to step down and let THIS moment pass them by. Once they do that, the rest of t...

Quad & Hip Flexor Mobility & Flexibility

Why is it important to include mobility work for the quads and hip flexors? Tight muscles in the anterior compartment of the leg can cause a number of problems, two of which I will discuss in this blog. 1.     Tight quadriceps and hip flexors can put you at an increased risk for a hamstring injury. When people say that a muscle is “tight,” they are essentially saying that the muscle is chronically shortened. Without getting too much into the anatomical specifics, when the hip flexors are “tight,” or shortened, they pull on the lumbar spine. This pull on the lumbar spine increases the curve of the lumbar spine (excessive lordosis) and in turn causes an anterior pelvic tilt.  When the pelvis tilts anteriorly, the hamstrings (attached to the ischial tuberosity) can become excessively stretched/lengthened, which can lead to a strain. Therefore, by keeping the hip flexors and quadriceps at proper length, we can keep our ...
