In Your Head

First of all, great job Monday. Everyone did excellent work, both in the strength segment and during the workout. Remember, it's not the result of any one workout that matters, it's your progression, from where you are now to where you want to be. Every week, a little stronger, a little faster, bit by bit, second by second, until you realize that you're doing things you didn't think you could.

Consider the following example(myself):
Started at 194 pounds, now I weigh around 155
Pullups when I started: 0
Pullups now: 37(last max reps attempt)
Handstand pushups: 10

I'm no great athlete. I'm just a musician who likes being fit, and there are many out there who make me look like a baby in the gym. I just worked consistently for a long time, taking my improvements one rep at a time.

So, where's your head? What do you say to yourself when it's time to run, and your legs are made of lead? I can tell you from the trenches that toughing it out brings more benefit than just fitness.

For your video dose today, I'm getting a bit theoretical on you. :)
