Guaranteed Success

Posted on August 16, 2010

In my training for the obstacle course event I planned to make one strategic move that would guarantee my success. It would be my support system or in this case my team. I asked a few friends to do the course with me and we have signed up to participate as a team.

I’ve said before that I train doing Kung Fu regularly. It has been my most successful training regiment to this date.Why? Because the group of people that take the class with me have become an extension of my workout program. Their successes, I feel, are also mine. If we are learning something new we congratulate and applaud each other as we get better. When the work out is tough, we urge each other to try harder and not give up. It is because of them my training is better, my confidence is stronger, and I feel the results that I do.

In any workout program I think you need that extra push or incentive. Sometimes that can be from a supportive family, a workout buddy or a personal trainer. Find out what gets you going and try it, there is something out there for all of us. Running, martial arts, dancing, yoga, and so much more.

I didn’t really need ask them to be on my team, I just asked if they would do the course with me. I already knew they would.
