Becoming a Fitness Warrior…

Becoming a Fitness Warrior... 
As I’ve traveled throughout various areas here in the U.S. and beyond, so many people are stuck when it comes to what fitness is all about.  They believe that the only way to get fit is to join a gym or have some special piece of equipment.  Many homes have their own weight machines.  I even talked to one guy that bought into the Bowflex system.
It’s fine and dandy if those people will use what they buy.  And if it gets them motivated to keep training consistently.  The problem is that these same people will usually stop after a very short while.  That is not right.  It’s not about the kind of equipment or even workout  Fitness Warrior.  It is all about the mindset.




When I was in the Marines we worked out anywhere.  There were places that had no gyms, not even a field gym.  No weights.  No special  Fitness Warrior equipment.  Did that stop us?  Hell no it didn’t.  We were Marines!  Real world warriors!
A fitness warrior is someone who trains anywhere and does so on a consistent basis.  They learn to adapt everyday items into fitness equipment.  They will use their bodyweight as their own built-in equipment.  A large stone becomes are heavy-duty strength builder.  A smaller stone becomes a piece of equipment to help develop explosive strength.  Climbing a tree builds the whole body.  Jumping from boulder to boulder builds both balance and leg strength.  It goes on and on.  There are no limits, except what is in the mind of each person.
Becoming a fitness warrior simply means to naturally move your body through any environment with ease and tackling all obstacles while being able to help others.  Erwan Le Corre’s MovNat is big on bringing out the fitness warrior in all participants.  That includes being able to use your body to defeat an attacker.  You can even experience some of it in the military.  Or just train anywhere at anytime.  Mostly, you gotta want it and do it.  No freaking excuses.

Family Fitness Warrior

 


Family Fitness Warrior ...
So initially I envisioned this becoming a blog about eating healthy, vegan meals, that even kids would eat, and getting healthy as a family.
I even signed up as a BeachBody Coach.  Really?  Me?  The girl who loves pizza and chocolate and never makes exercise a priority?  I hoped that being surrounded by people who were fit and healthy would magically make me the same way.  Well, it helped, as they are a wonderful and supportive group, but obviously I had some more work to do on myself!
Then recently I was listening to a Tony Robbins CD Fitness Warrior  about changing your beliefs to empowering beliefs.  This is the ONLY good thing about the two hours I spend in the car every day!  And I needed to dig down to figure out why I would be successful for a while on my nutrition and exercise program, then revert back to my old habits.
Tony had us list our old beliefs and then change them to new beliefs.  I wrote them down, then read them to myself over and over until they really began to resonate with me.  I did this for health and fitness, finances, relationships, and work and business.
Here is what I came up with: - Fitness Warrior
Old Belief:  I can’t lose weight.  My body is pre-genetically disposed to be overweight.
New Belief:  What I put into my body and how much I exercise absolutely affects my overall health and well being.  Genetics plays a small part but the final decision and outcome is directly controlled by me..Fitness Warrior .
Old Belief:  My diet and exercise program are punishment for all the bad decisions I’ve made over the years..Fitness Warrior .
New Belief:  I choose to put healthy, nutritious food into my body, and keep myself healthy with exercise.  I do this because I deserve better health and a better life.
Old Belief:  When I commit to a nutrition plan, there is never enough food to eat, and I will starve.
New Belief:  I have plenty of good, nutritious food to eat, and when I factor in my exercise, I have an abundance.  I can have anything I choose to eat.  I choose to eat foods that will nourish my body and keep me healthy and strong.
Old Belief:  When I’m having a bad day, something sweet will make me feel better.
New Belief:  When I’m having a bad day, eating junk will make me feel worse.  Taking a walk to clear my head will help me feel better..Fitness Warrior .
So I lost 5.4 lbs my first week after following these new beliefs.  And it was easier!  Instead of forcing myself to “Be healthy”, I was excited about the prospect of finally gaining control of my life once and for all.  And as far as becoming a Beach Body Coach (Scary for me!), it’s amazing how people have responded to me during my first few steps on this journey.  I’m still a work in progress, but I’m excited to be making progress!
