As fitness professionals we tend to get so caught up in learning all there is to know about the body and training. This is a great quality, being hungry for knowledge is something that we should all take pride in. However most people forget about the mind and soul in this industry. I believe everything begins and ends with the mind. No matter how great you may look, if your mind is not right you will always be in bad shape. As I said before most of us study fitness books to improve our health, we also write our workouts to track progress. How many people have tracked how they have grown as a person in the last year? We need to research self and how we can improve self.
Its always a weird feeling when you see someone you haven't seen in years and you talk to them about what they have been up to and their response is a depressed, "Same old, same old". Its like life has been drained from them. Its like they are stuck in a time machine. We never stand still in life because the universe is always moving forward, so if you think you are standing still you are actually moving backwards and life will pass you by. I know for a fact I am not the same person I was 2 years ago, shoot I'm not even the same person I was two weeks ago. We should always seek to get better everyday.
This brings me to the whole point of this blog and why FLO Fitness is going to start blogging from now on. There is more to this game then just knowing body parts and how to train them. We must also build ourselves as people. In the last two years I have read more books on personal development and it has helped more then anything else I have done. If you would like a list of some of the books I have read feel free to email me at flofitness@gmail.com
It would not be fair for me to tell you the good without the bad. When you start building yourself as a person you will also start becoming aware of the negative people around you. Not everyone will be happy with the change they are going to see in you. I have gained some wonderful friends in the past few years but I have also lost many. People want you to do the same thing they are doing. If you ask most friends they will say they want whats best for you but sometimes what is best for you is to get away from them.
Growing is natural part of life. Seeds become plants, and boys become men (sometimes). It is in our nature to want to grow and progress. Nobody tells a baby to want to walk but something inside them makes them want to walk and explore. We were never meant to stand still . I think this is why most marriages fall apart, if you don't grow together then you will grow apart (this is whole other blog).
Anyway to get back on track, we need to focus on growing our mind, body and soul. If we can get those inline we can do anything. I hope you guys enjoy the blog and stay tuned for many many more. Be sure to share this on facebook and tell a friend to tell a friend.

it's well said flo, the image of the baby is so true and when we grow up we often forget it. your values are becoming rare nowadays, not only regarding the sport's and the fitness'field but also in our life so thanks for creating this blog, it will be very useful.vanessa from France ***
