Product Review: Sports Workouts
Feb 25th
What this website offers is both good and bad. You pay $47 per month for an online trainer. For that same price, you could get a gym membership, but you wouldn’t have a trainer. The website offers 24/7 online access to a trainer, so you can ask questions any time you want to. However, you probably need to be a motivated and disciplined person to do these workouts because you’re not going to have a trainer next to you telling you to keep going.

Would you jump into a fast moving car or better yet a roller coaster without a seat belt? If we just dive into our training program without performing a proper movement prep routine, it will be the equivalent of jumping into these high speed vehicles without a seat belt. We consider this movement prep activities the “buckle-up” process before performing our training.
Start Small, Win Big

Start with where you are and not where you want to be. If you are not used to living an active lifestyle start small. Little is better than none and just focus on today and not tomorrow or next month. Let go off the expectations of creating big results and let’s start to focus a lot more on the process. Instead of thinking about losing a certain number of pounds, or shedding off x number of body fat percentage, or any other results oriented process, focus more on the daily tasks that need to be completed, such as performing a strength workout on Tuesday morning at 7:00am for 45 minutes. This is more process-oriented. If you become consistent at completing these tasks, the results will come. By focusing on the results, if we don’t see the immediate results that we expect, we quickly become discouraged. Expect to take small steps every day and you will enjoy the process even more. Let go of the need to obtain results.
