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!

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...

Rotational Athletes and why you MUST know about the Serape Effect

The Rotational Athlete  In today’s blog we will be discussing a pattern in the overhead/rotational athlete, called the “Serape Effect”. Gene A. Logan and Wayne C. McKinney introduced the Serape Effect to us in their book, “Kinesiology” a couple centuries ago.  The Serape Effect gets its name from a Mexican garment that is draped loosely over the shoulders and is crossed in front of the body.  The muscles involved in the serape effects are the rhomboids, serratus anterior, external obliques and internal obliques. “The Serape Effect incorporates several major concepts which are vital to the understanding of movement. In ballistic actions such as throwing and kicking, the serape muscles add to the summation of internal forces. They also transfer internal force from a large body segment, the trunk, to relatively smaller body parts, the limbs. For example, the serape effect functions in throwing by summating, adding to, and transferring the internal forces generated ...

A Few Tips on Public Speaking

A Few Tips on Public Speaking    Recently I took a course on public speaking by a group called "own the room".  I felt it was a very helpful course and I wanted to share some of my major takeaways with you all.     As many people may guess, public speaking is one of the greatest fears of most people. It is also the best way to get your message across to large groups of people at the same time. In the fitness business, it is necessary to constantly get your face exposed in the community you work in.  This will help you gain exposure and more exposure equals more business. The following tips may help you get more comfortable with public speaking.  Start off with a BANG! Don't stand there and talk bout yourself for 20minutes. If people are coming to see you talk they already assume you are qualified to speak. Start off with a story, quote, poem, riddle,joke,  etc. Something that will grab their attention. The audience  decides ...
