The Goal and Execution Workshop is this Wednesday, the 4th from 7:30pm to 8:30pm! Bring a pen a paper and be ready to write down some notes and start forming your vision of your amazing life!! Here’s a clip from the last workshop I held. I love the reference of the greatest pilot and his plane. A pilot has to have so much planned out just for a 1 hour flight; his destination, weather, speed, desired altitude, a backup plan for when things go wrong, and a TON more. ALL of these details are essential to the pilot reaching his destination safely. Soooooo much thought and planning is put into each flight. Yet for some reason, most people don’t put that same effort, thinking, and planning towards their life. If you want An amazing life, first you have to figure out your destination, then you plan out how you’re going to get there, and last but most important, take ACTION towards that destination consistently everyday! “What if something goes wrong or my plan changes?”- make an adjustment, and keep going!
One of the biggest mistakes almost everybody makes in their workout happens during their warm up. Most people walk into the gym and immediately start doing static stretching, aka stretching without movement. The problem with that is that our muscles are elastic, they need a certain amount of blood flow to happen before the muscle is WARM enough to perform a static stretch. When you do static stretching without warming up first, you actually TEAR your muscles slightly instead of stretch them. This obviously hinders the workout you’re warming up for, and also slows your results; due to the fact that you are starting each workout with tons of tiny micro-tears in muscle fibers you were just stretching.
So never stretch unless you are already warm. The best way to warm up is to move; do some crawling, hanging, mobility, some light cardio, something that will get your heart rate up and increase your blood flow for at least 5-10 minutes. Static stretching is best left for post workout cool downs.

Never doubt yourself. It’s ok to question yourself, it’s ok if sometimes you feel weak. But no matter the question, no matter the feeling, you’re mindset never changes; I know that I will turn my dreams into reality, period.

"People overestimate what they can do in a couple weeks or a few months, and underestimate what they can do in a year, 5 years, or a couple decades. " Luckily, I found all my old pictures I took from when I first set up my studio. It’s really cool to see what it was and what it has become for me personally. My 3 Year Business Anniversary Celebration is coming up Tuesday, April 25th from 6-8PM at the studio. I’ll have some champagne and some healthy snacks for everybody to enjoy! I hope to see everybody there.

I talk about meditating and working on your mental health just as much as I talk about working out and movement because it is just as important! I’ve recently been researching deeper into the meditation practice and stumbled upon the concept of having "Chakras" in your body. I found this video on Facebook actually, and it explains Chakras in a very simple and understandable way. It’s a little bit long of a video (10 minutes), but it’s definitely worth the watch.
Usually the things that are most necessary, are the most difficult and outside of our comfort zone. I’m still young and have a lot left I want to accomplish. But looking back on the things that I have accomplished so far, I can’t say that I was comfortable doing any of them at the time. Most of the time I was nervous, anxious, sometimes I was just straight up scared, but I went ahead and did those things anyways despite those feelings. And that’s not to say I haven’t failed. But I don’t regret those failure. I just learn from them, and try again. What is something that you’ve been thinking about doing but are a little nervous about going for it? Take a few moments to visualize what it is you want to happen, make sure your visualization is extremely clear. Then take a deep breath, count down 5…4…3…2..1 and DO IT!!!
What’s the first thing you consume in the morning? For most of us, it seems to be coffee is the first thing we go too. But it’s crucial that the first thing you consume in the morning is WATER!!! Why? 1. You haven’t had any water all night. Your body is dehydrated and needs some H2O. 2. Drinking water first thing will jump start your metabolism. Studies have shown that drinking 16 ounces of water first thing can increase your metabolism by over 20%!!! 3. It will help flush out toxins, and more specifically, it will cleanse your colon before you eat (or drink your coffee) anything, which will allow your body to better absorb the nutrients from your breakfast. 4. Your brain tissue is 76% water and is running on low fuel first thing in the morning! It needs those 16 ounces of water asap! 5. Drinking water first thing will help you to feel fuller longer, which should help you to avoid over eating. Most of us don’t drink enough water. So start off each day by drinking 16 ounces of water before you consume anything else. Continue to drink water regularly throughout the day, by the end of the day you should have consumed at least 1 gallon of water, preferably 1.5 gallons!
