What is Power?

                     What is POWER?

I know many trainers right now are thinking, its the ability to generate some kind of force against an object. But is that real power or is that the type of power that fades with time? Your physical abilities will fade with time. How will you be powerful then? Do you possess physical beauty that can be used to influence people and get what you want? Is that power? What will you do when those looks are gone? How will you gain power then? Are you super witty and have the ability to trick people to get what you want? Is that power? What will you do when your mind goes? 

I am not trying to mock anyone or get super deep. The point i want to make is that True Power comes from within. We tend to give people so much power because they can do certain things physically or because they look a certain way. But that is not True Power. That will fade and that person will be left searching for that spot light and wondering where all their power went.  

External forms of power are always temporary. I am not saying they are bad or good, i am only saying that they will be gone one day and all that will be left is the soul of that person; the whole person and if that person has not developed True Power, they will be lost in this world.  We see this all the time with our "celebrities", we wonder how they can go from the top of the world to rehab and bankruptcy. They fall because they never developed True Power, they had no core values or principles to lead them on their journey. Many of us fall victim to this same issue. 

What do you stand for? What gives you True Power? 

No one can answer these questions for you. These are questions that only you can answer for yourself. You are the one who must define what POWER is to you. Once you know what it is to you, you can begin to pursue it. Your pursuit of what you define as Power will make you POWERFUL!

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 pelvis in a neutral

Positive Attracts Positive

Ever hang around some negative people or in a negative environment? How did you feel during and after you had left? Did you feel drained of energy and just not happy about the situation you were currently in? Guess what.. your attitude, drive and passion effects others around you. If you create that positive energy and always surround yourself with positive, upbeat, driven people, you can only find more success in life. Being surrounded by my Flo Family along with everyone else such as Patrick Lerouge (www.revivetm.com) or Paul Newell (www.balancedwellness.org), I started to see my true potential and what I am truly capable of. They bring out the best in me because of their positive energy. They believe I can do it and push me to my limits. Even when I feel so uncomfortable with doing something, such as speaking in front of a group... they pushed me knowing that I could do it. I would have never seen myself get this far into my career without the Flo Family. I have learned so much, m
