Fitness is a daily commitment and endeavor.  It has to be something that you can and are willing to repeat day in and day out for the rest of your extended life.  I share this message with each and every one of my clients so that they can look back and reflect on how much their lives have changed for the better since embarking on their fitness journey.  As human beings, we are competitive by nature, and therefore thirst for daily challenges.  I firmly believe that if what you are engaged in does not make you feel a little nervous or unsure about, then it simply will not make you any better.  This is true both in and out of the fitness world and is separated by a common door.  In solving your fitness equation, you will learn what is required to be successful in your professional life.  Conversely, if you are having a tough time solving your fitness equation, perhaps you need to review a success story in your life and apply the variables to gain a better understanding.  At the end of the day, it takes time, commitment, consistency, and the resilience to try harder and/or try again.
