Motivation

There’s one week until spring break and like everyone else I am still trying to do as much as possible to get in peak physical condition. I would like to take this time to remind everyone that even though it is great that you all are working hard to get your bodies in shape for spring break that it is important that you are careful not to over train as I have spoken on in the past. Furthermore, remember that it is important to stay in shape and work towards maintaining your desired fitness level rather than trying to hurry up and get in shape every time spring break rolls around. I myself understand that it’s difficult to stay consistent 365 days of the year. It’s understandable that everyone will take a month off but it’s important to get back into it.

No matter how hard those push-ups or pull-ups gets it’s important to remember that every repetition is getting you one step closer to your goal. Believe me, I’ve been in those situations when it seems as though you cannot finish, it feels like you want to throw in the towel, or you feel as though if you do one more rep you will die. Remember most people give up just when they're about to achieve success. They quit on the one yard line. They give up at the last minute of the game, one foot from a winning touchdown. If you give up you will never achieve your goal, the only thing that will define you is failure.
