Today’s fitness blog is brought to you by back pain. Back pain, when you didn’t want to sit comfortably.
OK, here we go.
My 75 teammates and I start our workout at 5 a.m. and end exactly at 6 a.m. That’s 60 minutes a day to push ourselves through two stations in the weight room and four on the field. We do that four times a week for 12 weeks.
That’s 2,880 minutes we are given to become stronger, faster, lighter and better.
And all 75 of us are given the same number of minutes and the same opportunity. And we’ll all have different results. Why? It’s what we do with each minute we’re given that determines our success at the end. If you lean into an exercise instead of just going through the motions, you’ll see huge results.
Isn’t that like life? Ever know someone who manages to get so much more out of his or her day? Ever wonder how how successful people become that way?
We are given 1,440 minutes per day. It’s like 1,440 little gift wrapped little presents that we’re allowed to unwrap and use. Wow! Some people grab hold of each one. Others allow them to slip on by.
I truly believe success is journey. Life is to be seized and enjoyed. And I’ve been so guilty of not doing just doing that. I put the “PRO” in procrastination.
According to my handy-dandy calculator, I have 1,980 minutes remaining of my 12-week boot camp. I’m going to work hard to take advantage of every one of them. Because I know the results will be amazing. Just like it will be in life if I do the same exact thing.
Now to just get my back to heal.
