In addition to being a personal trainer with a personal training studio located on Main Street in Boonton, I’m also a motivational speaker/modern day performing strongman (ie I perform feats of strength like bending steel bars, breaking chains, rolling up frying pans etc. as part of a motivational speech)

Anyways, last week I was in Fort Lauderdale for a motivational strength performance for a pharmaceutical company and was checking in at the front desk when I saw a quote that inspired this article.

‘The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing.’ – Walt Disney

I agree. You see, I can’t tell you the number of people who I’ve spoken to over the years that will say things like “I really should get in shape” or something to that effect, many times while they’re standing in my doorway. I usually will tell them I offer a free trial for when they are ready and rarely do I get “I’m ready now”

You see people will say what they want, but it’s not what you say what you want, it’s doing what it takes to get there. There are plenty of people that do sub optimal programs that still get great results because they got to work and adjusted as they go. For me personally I got my ideas from body building magazines before realizing they were just big advertisements for supplements and didn’t have good info.

I still got pretty good results because I was young and worked hard. I’ve learned a lot since then, partially from various certs, attending workshops, reading a lot of books, hiring coaches and some of it just from plain ole trial and error while learning from my successes and mistakes.

Talking about something is fun to do, but the actual doing something is what makes it work. If you don’t know what to do, that’s ok just do something because something will always be better than nothing.

What is that something? Well you could pick up a book about the subject or better yet, take my free trial. Just text 973 476 5328. You don’t have to make the same mistakes I did, or try to figure it out on your own. I take care of all the planning for you. All you have to do, is do your best.
