Michael Phelps, Bongs and 6 Pack Abs
So by now you've probably heard that Olympic champion Michael Phelps has gotten himself into a little bit of hot (bong) water. I felt I couldn't let this opportunity slip by without sharing some lessons from his mishap.
First, we all have to remember that we're role models. Somebody somewhere is looking up to us for guidance. It's a shame Michael Phelps screwed up, but he did. What's done is done. I know it reminded me that as a, fitness pro, I MUST lead by example.
Second, again, he screwed up. And while I'm not one to give people a million chances, I do believe in second chances. Forgiveness, which, when it comes to melting fat, and getting fit, is VERY important.
I can tell you from experience working with hundreds of people with similar goals to yours, you WILL screw up somewhere along the way. The key to success is to forgive you’re self and move forward. The people who truly fail are the ones that just give up the first time they make a mistake.
Third, this has nothing to do with what Michael Phelps has recently done, but it's another great reminder. If you want a lean, hard body and 6 pack abs, you're going to need to WORK. Regardless of his recent actions Michael Phelps is an Olympic Champ because he worked his rear end off. Don't fool yourself into thinking achieving your fitness goals is going to be a piece of cake.
Fourth, much was made during the Olympics of Michael Phelps and the massive amounts of calories he was consuming. If YOU want to get into peak condition you need the proper nutrition. Period!
Look, if you're not eating enough fruits and vegetables you need a Whole Foods based multi like www.warriorstrengthcoach.getprograde.com/vgf like Prograde Nutrition's VGF 25+
If you aren't optimizing your workouts by refueling with the correct blend of carbs to protein (based on the research) then you need to start using Prograde Workout - http://www.warriorstrengthcoach.getprograde.com/workout like I do.
Anyway, when you see a news story like this one involving Michael Phelps, always remember, to look for the positive lessons you can learn.
Until Next Time

Fast Fat Loss Plan
Fast Fat Loss Plan
There is a reason few people reach their goals and make their dreams come true.
Do you know what that reason is?
It's because they actually HAVE goals written down. The vast majority of people on this planet do not.
And not only do people that achieve goals actually set goals, they also create a plan to make sure they make things happen.
So where does that leave you?
Do you keep telling yourself you are going to "lose some weight?" Or do you have specific goals and a plan to reach them?
Do you have a plan for what you're going to eat each day so you're not tempted to fill up on fast food? Do you have a deadline for when you're going to reach your goal?
Here's another one: you KNOW you need to be eating breakfast every day. Do you have nutritious food in the house you PLAN on eating each morning?
This is YOUR life. Whether you want your body to look better naked, you want to improve your health, you want to have more energy or whatever your goal is, you, MUST have written goals and a plan to achieve them.
Until Next Time
