Why most people are in bad Shape

How many Squares are in your Circle?

Most people don't realize how the people around them really effect their life. At any given time you are the sum of the people you are around. This is extremely important to keep in mind. You can not achieve great levels of success if you have to many squares in your circle.
Let me define who I consider squares first.  A square is an unproductive friend, an unhealthy relationship, negative coworker, etc. Squares are people who want to drag you down or talk you out of trying to achieve more. Some people like to call them haters. Their job is to hate.
This is why you need to keep a close circle of like minded people. The people in your circle should help you progress in life and challenge you to be a better person. Your circle should consist of family, role models, mentors, productive friends, etc. These are the people who make you a better person just by being around them. You know who they are because when you are around them you feel great about yourself. They motivate and inspire you to chase your dreams. Find more of them and you will attract success to you.
Get rid of the squares and keep your circle positive. Start today by looking at who you spend most of your time with. Write it down if you have to and look at who helps you in your life and who holds you back.  The haters have to be erased and replaced with enablers.  The moral of this is to surround yourself with great people and you will be able to achieve great things.

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 ...
