Motivation: One Thing Won't Stop You
One Thing Won't Stop You
I’m right in the middle of my P90x/Insanity hybrid program and adding muscle like crazy and feeling on top of the world when all of a sudden an old chest injury from my Power 90 days decided to pay me a visit. Now I may be sidelined from weight lifting and healing could take a whole month. I was starting to get furious. Then I remember what I preach about synergistic fitness. It’s the sum of all parts. Not one single thing will determine my outcome. It’s a collective effort. It’s following proper nutrition, working other body parts, doing other routines. It’s the support I get from those that are on this fitness journey with me. I will examine my injury. I will heal my injury so that it’s stronger than ever I will get right back where I left off with the weights and continue my journey and reach my goal!Now. Stop and reflect. Don’t let ONE thing stop you from your goal. Change. Change with it. I have researched my injury a lot more than before and am applying the proper healing techniques. I am starting to feel much better after only a few days. Did I give up? No, I examined, changed and kept moving forward. NO excuses. I look to the other aspects of my fitness journey to carry me through to my goal. This applies to all aspects of your synergistic fitness journey. If you are unable to PUSH PLAY, then you have to focus on the other aspects and strengthen them to get you to your goal. When I was injured doing Power 90 and couldn’t PUSH PLAY, I examined my nutrition, adjusted it and really focused on that until I could get back to it. Guess what? I lost most of my weight during that time! Why? Because I looked for other ways to reach my goal. I lost 50lbs on Power 90 because I kept at it any way I could.
Don’t let one thing distract you from your goal. Don’t let things like, “I just don’t have time”, “I missed a workout” keep you from the goal. You have time to change. You have time to synergize your fitness. You don’t need a every supplement in the world to get started, or every fitness cd to get it going. Don’t wait. Start TODAY! Look to other aspects. Eat one less thing for lunch. Have one less bite at dinner. Cut out one fat. Throw two or three protein bars in your purse. Every small step over time will add up. Write down what you think is blocking you from starting or synergizing your fitness journey. Then write down how to unblock it. I bet you can find ways to start or enhance your journey no matter how small they are. Add one more thing each day or week. Over time you will have reached your goal. Nothing can put you on the sideline because you own the field! GO! GO! GO!
A few of my synergistic friends from the Beachbody forums and that I coach have started a support thread. This group of guys/gals have been shredding fat for months and have helped motivate me and themselves to new heights with SYNERGISTIC FITNESS. We would like to welcome any of you to join us for support, advice, daily accountability or just shoot the breeze. You can find the forum here: http://bit.ly/duRx8S
GET SAMPLES OF SHAKEOLOGY: I am also offering to send two sample packs to any of my paying customers. If you have purchased product from me, shoot me an email and I will send you a green berry and chocolate to try.
WHO IS TEAM SIXPACK: Team Six Pack is made up of you. You and people striving for the same thing. This is SYNERGISTIC fitness. Putting all the little pieces together to sky rocket our fitness experience to the next level. Sum of the whole. I will be placing a TEAM SIXPACK support thread on the forums in a few days where we can meet and discuss our journeys. Help support each other and many others that may need our help. I'll post the link in the next weekly coaches email.
You can always find out what's going on with me at my site, or my blog. Check it out! Please like my Facebook fan page and help promote SYNERGISTIC FITNESS to others! You tweet? Follow me on twitter.

NEW TO BEACHBODY
Are you completely new to Beachbody?
First thing I always suggest is getting on a forum group for your program to help with accountability and support. Trust me. It was the best thing I ever did to get me to where I am today. When you surround yourself with like-minded people with the same goal SYNERGISTIC things happen.
Go here Programs and find your program or here Support. Then find a post that is close to your date and introduce yourself, tell your goal.
Second. Log all your workouts in WOWY. You can win cash and prizes daily. It helps to reinforce your fitness. It's the same thing I always mention about writing your goals down daily. This is the same concept except you could win some nice prizes or cash just for reaching your goal. What's better than that.
Third. Contact me. Send me an email and let me know your alive and what I can do to help you. Let's chat about your goals and get a strategy going for your transformation. In this way I can open up more things to help you SYNERGIZE your fitness.
Fourth. Join the TEAM SIXPACK group. This is how we show unity in our fitness together. See all the other members of TEAM SIXPACK who are on the same mission as your are. Support each other!
Fifth. Calculate your daily calorie intake using BeachBodies Fitness Tools. If you have questions on it email me.

Day 19 & 20 & 21 Report - P90x Insanity Weight Lifting Hybrid Program
Day 19: Friday I only did my weight lifting workout. Missed Insanity Cardio Recovery this morning. I also missed the p90x legs/back workout. Real life effects everyones life that isn't doing this as a full time profession. So I resign to the fact that I represent "the WORKING CLASS!". lol. I purposely missed the legs/back because my forearms hurt so bad from lifting today. I didn't want to risk putting anymore pressure on them with weight.
In hind site, I should have done it for the burn and used zero weights. I'll post a POST Week view of my workouts with results on Monday to tighty this up. With that said, I schedule light cardio before my weight days because I want to maximize my energy levels on that day for chest/traps or lats. Remember, my goal is to add mass using p90x, chest/traps weight training and insanity to help keep body fat low with high impact cardio several times a week. I also modify legs to be just legs with light back work. When I read about how initially p90x legs wasn't long enough they threw in back to make it a complete workout, I felt resolved about focusing more on legs than back. I typically add more weight and low reps on the legs to simulate a "squat" type workout. I am going to modify it further as the program progresses through to day 60 and day 90, going for more "squat" type workouts added and less back workouts. The back routines will be more and more focused on in the chest/traps/lats weight workouts for that day.
Day 20: Rest Day. I always try and either take the whole day off or get intensity level 2 only workouts. Was scheduled for Abs, but pushed it to Sunday.
Day 21: Did yard work all day. If you live in Alabama in the dead of summer you know that's a workout all by itself. Skipped Insanity Pure Cardio. At this point still shy about doing anything physical until forearms stop hurting. I should see a slight increase in weight or body fat percent. Almost three days of no real hard core cardio or HIIT. I'm ok with this, one of the days was a scheduled rest anyways so no biggie to the overall game plan. Gaining mass has less cardio so I'm not afraid. Just can't let gaining body fat cloud my overall goal. Resist the fear of body fat!

PICK A FITNESS GOAL AND LOSE WEIGHT
Goals. Pick one.
Write it down. Be specific. If you want to lose weight, pick an amount and a time. Maybe it's 1lb a week. Nice goal. 50lbs in 60 days? Sounds good. Pick it and write it down. You can't just write down lose weight because you haven't given your mind a target. Yep a target. When you give you brain a goal and you confirm this every day by writing it down, your mind will begin to recognize it as important. Pay attention here this is key. The more and more your brain is reinforced that this is important the subconscious will begin to act on it. Because your subconscious is working with you on gaining your goal you will begin to do things without thinking about it to reach your goal. Professional athletes use this technique day in and day out. It's why we call them PRO's.
Remember, this is SYNERGISTIC fitness. Every little thing makes up the whole fitness experience. This is just one more tool in your journey to fitness. Use it in conjunction with all the other tools available and the sum of it all will propel your fitness experience to new heights. Use me, use the Beachbody forums to help with accountability, write down your goals, read fitness magazines, etc. It all adds up. Write down what is keeping you from achieving what you know is yours. Figure out how to remove that obstacle and do it. Write it down, and write down the solution. You know what it is, you have to put it down and act on it. Now, pick up a pen and move this thing forward!
