Think of your body like a machine. It has to be cleaned, oiled and serviced regularly if you want it to perfom well.

You put effort in your car, your flat, your TV screen but you refuse to eat healthy and put in some work regarding fitness? Shame on you!

This is not about everybody becoming a body-builder, but a general level of fitness is a must for every adult. It does not take that much discipline, you just have to get started and continue making your baby steps on a daily basis. Start today and simply DO NOT STOP! Don’t stop at a certain weight, at a certain day, at a certain moment, never stop keeping your body fit and feeling well.

Don’t like working out? Listen up!

No citizen has a right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training.
What disgrace it is for a man to grow old without ever seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable.
Socrates

Birthday post, *yay* 🙂 This is a personal one, for sports is a pretty important topic to me and I love talking about it.

You are young and capable! As long as you are not physically handicapped you have no reason for not working out. It does not even count to say “I don’t like it”. If you told your parents you didn’t like studying in high school they were damn right to make you so either way.

With physical exercise it is almost the same but there is no one to kick your ass if you back out. So you have to be the one kicking your own ass, you have to be the one that tells yourself: Keep it up, feel a little pain daily but a lot of strenght in the long term.

The benefits are endless! Not only will you life healthier, you will also feel more confident, be more happy and less stressed. Sports and exercise are perfect for everyone and there is such a diversity of sports that you definitely will find something you peronally like!

I challenge you to start worling out immediately, starting with this day! On top of that, drink lots of tasty, tasty water. Why? This is not a diet you say and I agree. But water and training will increase your well-being and as important as that your well-feeling extremely. So start today, don’t even THINK about excuses, I dare you! Get up, put on your shoes, start running, put on your swim gear, start swimming, get on the floor, start push-ups. Start now and do not stop, make this a damn beautiful habit!

GET UP AND GET STARTED!

So this post is one hour early. The first post in over a year to be not on time. Why you ask?

Well as you know I always liked the topic of sleep / getting up early. Lately I stumbled upon this great sports motivation video that really shouted in my face: You can do it!

So, don’t listen to your sleepyhead telling you to go back to sleep. Hit that asshole with a frying pan (or whatever lies next to your bed), get up and get going! You can do it!

Sports motivation!

Somewhere, someone is practicing. When you meet that person on the field, face to face, one on one, he will beat you. Unless that person practicing is you. So run the stairs, crank the corners, hit the wall, and when you feel like giving up, think, is that person giving up?

Some people think you train with your body, but that does not quite cut it. Every body gets tiret during training, even athletes have this problem, it’s natural. That’s when the mind comes in and you have to push yourself beyond known limits.

The mind has to bend the limits the body thinks it has. A strong body with a weak mind won’t train and will get weak over time.

Start to train and train hard, it’s all about the mindset.

A champion is one who gets up when he can’t.

When you watch Sport stars you might think that training is easy for them right? You might get the idea that pushups just feel natural for them.

Well guess what? Push-Ups kill those people! They kill everyone! And they hate them too. The differnce is: They either don’t care or they have more important things to worry about than their lame-ass heads telling them to be lazy! The difference between the successful ones and the failures is just the motivation to keep on going despite all the reasons against it.

Ali for example stated on several occasions that he hated every single second of his training but he knew that it would pay him back. And it sure did!

If you have a strong mind you will still encounter problems or as I like to say tasks/opportunities. You will just be able to find reasonable solutions and work them out no matter how tough it gets!

To never get it wrong

Amateurs train until they get it right. Professionals train until they never get it wrong.

Despite being sport-related this quote is important to everyone!

Think about it: When you learn for something or train for something, what is your goal? Your goal is to get it right. That is a good goal, but it does not help much because when someone asks you if you could you do it, you will hestitate and think to yourself: “Hmm I’ve done it once, but can I do it now? Here? In front of people?” BAM! You lost. Right there.

That is why pros train for never getting it wrong! That’s when you know you get it right every damn time and you can proudly say: “I can do that!”

This should be your goal!

Work with your fear

If you are afraid to fall,

you will wall because you are afraid

I don’t know where this is from, it is often used around Traceurs and Freerunners but can be transferred to any situation in life.

Everyone is scared and so are you. That is not a bad thing. It is important to learn how to work with your fear, use it as a source of energy. Don’t let it drag you down!
