It’s well worth the $15 on Amazon and has good stuff in it for fitness professionals and those looking to learn more about diet and exercise and how they relate to your goals. Brent has poured of 6 years of effort into this book! It has been a labor of love and you will benefit from his efforts.

There is too much garbage and hype out there and this book will boil down what you can glean from research, not just opinion. Arm yourself with the knowledge in this text as it will come in handy with your clients or your own health and wellness program.

Enjoy this beautiful fall day!

Brain Tracy is one of my top choices for goal setting;

Les Brown-

The late Jim Rohn-

Matt Morris-

Tony Robbins-

The great Zig Zigglar rounds out my top 6.

The basics of goal setting are to follow the S.M.A.R.T. system. Goals should be;

Specific
Measurable
Attainable
Relevant
Time Bound

Your goals should also be in line with your values, otherwise you will be fighting an internal battle against your progress. Goals should also provide a big enough target in the future to march towards and incremental steps to complete along the way. Tony Robbins talks about “chunking” goals or breaking them down into more manageable tasks that can be completed along the way. We should have a Jim Collins BHAG!

Big Hairy Audacious Goal!

The Hedgehog Principle

I don’t want to slow you down…so if you have not done so start with these steps and remember to sate everything in the positive and present tense. Example “I am 9% body fat”.

1) make a list of everything that you want to have in the next 1-3-5 years. You can string this out to 10-20 years if you would like. This can be material things; cars, boats, houses, organic make up (my wife loves that stuff!) etc. This is your FUN list.

2) make a list of everything you want to do in the next 1-3-5 years. You can string this out to 10-20 years if you would like. This can be travel, community service, start a family, own a company, positions in a company, learning to swing dance, cure cancer, personal, professional or a mix. Some people like to have different lists for personal and professional, I like to put them all together.

3) make a list of everything you want to be in the next 1-3-5 years. You can string this out to 10-20 years if you would like. This can be a professional tittle, a corrective exercise specialist, head stylist, set of traits that will help you succeed or more. Becoming more will allow us to do, have and help more! Here we can outline exactly what that is; More confident, leaner, stronger, a stirring public speaker, a great parent, a difference make in the community…it is endless!!!!

Start here and we can talk about breaking these goals down into more manageable steps another time. Take action…now!!

I am still going round in circles with the “hot topic of the week” the Time Magazine article “Why Exercise Won’t Make you Thin”. Why do people want to be “Thin” anyway??? because pop culture says so? what about health, wellness, function and longevity??? Being a size four or having washboard abs is not  what it is all about.

I have some concerns about this article, please watch this short video and share your thoughts/comments below. From corrective exercise to cardio…people should be exercising regularly!!!

Short video #1 “Is it about being thin?”
