You Should Know....

"Somewhere in Africa, a gazelle wakes up at the break of dawn. It knows it must outrun the fastest lion or it will be killed.

Somewhere else in Africa, a lion wakes up at the break of dawn. It knows it must run faster than the slowest gazelle, or it will starve.

Now it doesn't matter whether you're the lion or the gazelle, What matters is when the sun comes up, you'd better be running."

Some of you will understand what I am going to say about this quote, some of you will not. The key things to focus on in the statement are: "a gazelle...knows it must; a lion...knows it must." See what I'm getting at yet?

When you get up in the morning, or when you are heading to the gym or training sessions; you should KNOW why you are doing what you are. This is what gives your training purpose and a goal to aim for and work towards. This knowledge is key.

If you do not know what you are training for or towards how will you make progress? You should always keep your goal at the forefront of your mindset in order to get the best out of your training and probably most importantly in order to enjoy your training and enjoy what you are going through.

Whenever I have trained aimlessly I have not made any progress or improvements and I have not enjoyed it, but when I have a goal to work towards then the training and the pain makes sense.  We all have our own goals; whether it is to get stronger, put on size, add lead muscle, lose weight, improve conditioning or even reduce stress, your goals are your goals, no one can take them away from you, and as long as you remember to have a goal and know what you are training for; your training will be successful and enjoyable.

I'll share my current goals with me readers so you know what I'm currently working towards. I'm working on strength, conditioning and a bit of fat loss to lean out some more, not really looking at size currently. I'm not going to share what my training is like, I like to keep somethings close to my chest, but I will tell you that I am enjoying it and it is working!

So remember, KNOW why you a training, KNOW why you are putting yourself through all the pain and soreness; this way you will reach your goals and you will love your training. FYI your training does not have to be running!

Hope this helps you people out there!
