OUT NUMBERED
Movie Videos & Movie Scenes at MOVIECLIPS.com
When you are surrounded on all sides, out numbered and losing hope... its easy to give up. Excuses are what outnumber me most of the time. "I'm too busy." "I'm tired." "I'm stressed." Those are the common ones I use. I let those excuses act as a shield that guards the real problem: FEAR. What if I fail? You have people counting on you, don't let them down! Don't push too hard, it'll hurt too bad and people can't see you like that. Fear is the cause of all of that!
I watch the biggest loser every season. I love that show. One of the reasons I love it so much is because you get to see the complexity of people. Those contestants have confronted a huge issue in their life. And as they journey along through the show they discover many of their underlying problems through physical exertion and self discipline. In my opinion being unhealthy or obese got them on the show but it is not the root of their problem. So, this show broadcast all of these individuals that consistently make an excuse for being unhealthy. They never deal with the REAL issue, even though it looks them in the face every morning. I try to get you guys to view our gym (physical exertion and self discipline) as a way of exploring yourself and your issues. What is really holding you back from crushing a workout?
A quote one of the trainers uses is, "Stop acting like a victim." A victim always needs attention and validation. It makes you feel good when people stop and give you attention and help even when you don't need it or deserve it. A victim never has to take risk. If you never risk anything, you will never fail at anything. However, if you live with this type of mentality you might end up as a prisoner, just as these contestants did. You'll never venture outside of your comfortable cell. You will always point the finger at something or someone for your failures. You'll never know what you were capable of because life and those opportunities will pass you by. So, Discover what you are worth. Do not rely on excuses. Point the finger at yourself and become a stronger person. When fear rears its ugly head and "I can't" starts speaking up, stand your ground, put up your fist and be prepared to fight. Know this: When life gets hard, and you are at your breaking point, you are moments away from success. The night is always darkest before the dawn.

Who Dat?
Can the Who Dat nation pull the Saints to Victory? I know we all hope so.... well all of us except Austin (one of our dedicated high school students). There is a little wager that if the Vikings win by 14 points, Michael Frierson has to do the workout Murph (1mile run, 100pull ups, 200 push ups, 300 squats, 1mile run). If the Saints win by 14... Austin has to do murph. Sit on the edge of your couch boys!!! Its a close game!
The workout today was really really... well... difficult. Looking at a workout like today's that only contains 3 movements, your confidence rises and looks forward to a "short" workout. However, those dang double unders can become very very tiresome and difficult! I challenge all of you to work on your double unders every day you are in the gym. Believe me, when it comes to double unders, practice really does make perfect!
Shout Outs: Whitney Dyess had her 21st birthday yesterday... and then showed up to the gym today! Talk about dedication... Her brother, Hunter nailed a 40lb PR on the back squat today. Nice work man! Angie Elias aka Mini, started nailing consecutive double unders today in the workout. Nancy Pants absolutely murdered the workout today. Great job girl! Kellar also set a new PR today by hitting 40 consecutive double unders today! Last but not least, Cindy Armstead, a personal client of mine ran her first mile for time today. Let me preface the announcement of her time with this: Cindy is like me... she hates running. When she first started at Versus, she didn't make it 200m without stopping to walk. Well, talk about improvement and putting a "stamp on it"... HELLO 9:25! Very proud of her and everyone of our clients. If you want to change your life through fitness step into our doors. I know you know someone that needs to be in our gym. Someone that got a bad health report from the doctor, or someone that has always struggled with weight etc... Don't be scared to tell them to stop by and get started!!!
Warmup: Warm up of the week
Str: Off Day
Workout: 5Rounds for time
