BABY STEPS: TAKE IT ONE DAY AT A TIME
Posted by: | Comments
Hey guys – Quick post tonight, but something I think is really important for everyone to understand.
I want to make sure our readers understand that we don’t expect over night changes. That may seem like a common sense thing, but I know how challenging it can be to get in shape. More than that, I know how intimidating the whole “fitness world” can be when you feel like you’re “outside” looking “in”.
DO WHAT YOU KNOW: FILTERING HEALTH ADVICE

I had a perfect example last night of what Sam was talking about in yesterday’s post. My wife, who is in love with anything that involves being outdoors (preferably in the mountains), decided she wanted to improve her rock climbing abilities so she can be more like spider-woman… So, what did she do? Well, she’s researching the guy up there…. Chris Sharma.
If that picture up top doesn’t give you an idea of the crazy stuff this guy does, check out this video below. Read More→
DO WHAT YOU KNOW: SUPERSIZE IT?

“But why should these companies want to change? Their loyalty isn’t to you, it’s to the stockholders. The bottom line: They’re a business, no matter what they say. And by selling you unhealthy food, they make millions. And no company wants to stop doing that. If this ever-growing paradigm is going to shift, it’s up to you.” – Morgan Spurlock, Supersize Me
It’s up to you.
Guys, if you only take away one thing from Sam’s post yesterday let it be that. It’s up to you. I’ll say it again and again because it’s probably the most important thing we could ever beat into your head. If I can tell you anything from my experience as a personal trainer it’s that my clients that took PERSONAL responsibility for their actions – both good and bad – were the ones that saw the most progress, because they were the ones that were most aware of how those actions affected their goals.
DO WHAT YOU KNOW: HGH FOLLOW UP

Hey guys – a massive apology for the delay. I have been under the weather for a while now and ignoring it finally caught up with me and I’ve come down with some not-so-fun bronchitis. But, just because I’m not feeling well doesn’t mean you guys aren’t out there hitting the ground and obliterating your fitness and workout goals. So, with that in mind, I wanted to throw up quick post before the new week began to follow up on Sam’s post from last week about HGH, why it’s so important and what we can do to generate more of it.
DO WHAT YOU KNOW: BEAT YOUR SUBCONCIOUS MIND

After the last post Sam did on our subconscious mind and how it can hold us back I thought it would be really cool to do a special Do What You Know post to follow up on it. Sam’s insight hit really close to home for me because it was the same major discussion I had with my older brother – someone I’ve been training since mid-April. So I’ve included a direct response from him about how he experienced all the things Sam talked about and what that meant to him on this journey.
But before that, let me give you some background…
DO WHAT YOU KNOW: IT’S ALL ABOUT YOU

There’s a lot that could be taken from the last post on DNA-PK; which, to put it simply, taught us that in some people, the gene that is responsible for converting carbohydrates into fat is basically turned off – allowing them to eat pretty much what they want with out the added weight gain.
At first, I think a lot of people, myself included, had the initial reaction of frustration. We’ve all known people who eat as if there’s no tomorrow, yet they still look slim and lean and muscular. One of my best friends growing up once ate an entire cheesecake by himself yet still had a six pack at the pool the next day. Thinking about people like that – and I’m sure we all have at least one person like that in our lives – can lead us to feeling frustrated and overwhelmed. Or even worse, it can make you feel almost hopeless in your quest to get in shape, leading you to just throw in the towel.
Why should I work so hard to exercise and eat right if my body is just going to work against me?
