Success

Success "the favorable or prosperous termination of attempts or endeavors."



Make sure you read all the way down to see the second half of this video.

There are many facets of success. And in the eyes of the successee, their is no more important than the success achieved.

This morning the ladies in boot camp proved that theory. There were a couple of different ways I could have introduced today's workout. But I chose the one that would get the most success. If I didn't then I would no longer be able to use the tag line, "Committed to your success" in my emails.

My only regret today was not getting any pictures or video of the gals in action. Without further ado, below are the times of the ladies who came into boot camp today.

Oh, and did I mention the workout was 100 burpees for time?

5:30 a.m.
Brooke 7:13
Jill 7:39
Mary 6:38
Stacey 6:03
Traci 5:43
Angela 8:19
Judy 4:57

9:00 a.m.
Mandi 5:42
Sheila 6:17
Tonja 6:22
Megan B. 5:28
Diane 5:37 (This was her very first workout with us and rocked it!!!)

I could have easily set them up for failure by just throwing the workout on the board and telling them to "just do it". Instead I gave them a different way to look at it. And what happened is exactly what you see in the numbers above. They killed the workout.

The next time you tackle something that looks, at least in appearance to be impossible, tackle it with an aggressive attitude and amaze yourself what you can accomplish.

We are in full swing with the "November or Bust" Boot Camp special.

There is a free online Tabata timer you can use to get through each of these workouts. Keep in mind the tabata is set up for one single 4 minute (8 round) workout. Meaning you will have to start a new timer for each of the 4 exercises. Keep in moving quickly so you do not let your heart rate drop too much. Click here for the timer.
