Finding Our Inner Potential

Finding Our Inner Potential 
I want you to think back to when you were a kid. We all believed that we could be whatever we wanted. President of the U.S., Fireman, Ninja, Robot, the list goes on and on. No one could tell us that these things were impossible. However somewhere along the way we lost the ability to dream and unlock our true potential. 
I was listening to a CD by Dr. Miles Monroe the other day and he made a statement that made me think of this blog. He said everything we will ever need to be successful is within us. Fish do not need to attend swimming lessons, birds do not need to attend flight school, all of these things are born into the animal. So why as humans do we have such a hard time accepting this concept? If its in all of us, why do we not see it or access it?
This is what made me think of the seed. You see,every fruit or tree started as a seed. The seed alone is useless, but when planted, nourished, cared for and loved, it can grow to be what it was always meant to be. People have infinite potential but if nobody takes the time to nourish us and help us see our potential we will turn out like that useless seed. This is another reason why you must be aware of who you spend your time with. Your inner circle should be filled with people who nourish you and help you discover the potential in you. 
Just like the tree and grass you could also be healthy one day and if neglected you could shrivel up and die. There are people we all know who were filled with life and excited about reaching their potential and then something happened that ruined their spirit. For example an injury, divorce, bad grades or loss of a loved one. These are all tragic events in their own way but bad times will not last forever unless you let them. Look at the grass in the winter time, it disappears like it was never there and then somehow in the spring it comes alive.  When times are hard you just need to surround yourself with people who boost your spirit and pull your potential out of you. 
We are all filled with soooo much potential! Now is the time to look within and find it. Once you find it you must use it. Stop wasting your time and energy on crap that does not fill you. Life if not a test run, we only get one shot at this. Enjoy it, love it, live it to the limit that YOU set!

Are you brave enough for a COLD SHOWER?

Why I Take Cold Showers And You Should Too For the past three years I’ve taken a cold shower almost every single day. You might think I’m crazy and at first; trust me, at first I thought I was too. But hold your judgment, hear me out, give it a try and then you can thank me. What are the benefits of cold showers? 1.     Improve Mood A 2007 study looked at how cold showers affected people with depression. Here is what the authors of the study hypothesized: “Exposure to cold is known to activate the sympathetic nervous system and increase the blood level of beta-endorphin and noradrenaline and to increase synaptic release of noradrenaline in the brain as well. Additionally, due to the high density of cold receptors in the skin, a cold shower is expected to send an overwhelming amount of electrical impulses from peripheral nerve endings to the brain, which could result in an anti-depressive effect.” The study ended up finding that cold showers of 2-3...

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...

The Kettlebell Goblet Squat with Pause

The squat in general is one movement that you will often see in any of our athletes workout programs. We do not only use them, as part of their workouts, but it is also an important component to our assessment at FLO Fitness. Today we are going to go over one our favorite exercises to have most of our develop level or beginner athletes do. The kettlebell goblet squat with pause is one of many variations that can be done, the specific variation selected will depend on what you are trying to achieve with your athlete. We often use the kettlebell squat with pause to not only lock in proper squatting mechanics, but to also add depth into the hips, by slowly increasing the range of motion with each repetition. Before we get more in depth, I think it is only right that we go over proper alignment of the torso, also known as the “Bracing Sequence”. This will not only protect your athletes from injury, but will also indicate when to increase the load for your athlete no matter which e...
