Fitness motivation from the master himself

If you are talking about fighting as it is, with no rules, well then, baby, you’d better train every part of your body.

Bruce Lee

They say: Don’t skip leg day.

I say: Don’t skip any day!

Legs, Arms, Abs, Back, Core, the list goes on. Training is more than muscles, it is about mindset, coordination, strength, endurance, it has a lot of facets.

And this is not only about training for fighting, of course. It applies to any kind of training and is a good reminder of diversity in the gym (or wherever you may train)

On Fitness and Training

I’m a firm believer in attitude. Some people just don’t have that desire, and they need a good kick up the arse. Look, you’ve come to train… let’s fucking train! Your body is like a piece of dynamite. You can tap it with a pencil all day, but you’ll never make it explode. You hit it once with a hammer: Bang! Get serious. Do 40 hard minutes, not an hour and half of nonsense. It’s so much more rewarding!

There is but one secret to success – Never give up!

Mind over body

Now if you are going to win any battle you have to do one thing. You have to make the mind run the body. Never let the body tell the mind what to do. The body will always give up. It is always tired in the morning, noon, and night. But the body is never tired if the mind is not tired.

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.

Perseverance!

If we each get on a treadmill right now, one of two things is going to happen… either you’re going to get off first, or I am going to die. Period.

Will Smith

BAM! That’s the spirit!

This mixture of self-confidence and determination will bring you far, extremely far! Be like Will Smith, always keep up a high amount of motivation!
