Are You Too Busy for Work? You are too busy to work out?


I run a company, work with clients, write books, and consult with other successful businesses. I have a husband and a daughter. I am married and I have responsibilities. None of this is a complaint. They are real.


My entire life, the last 15 years, I've been in the health and fitness industry. I wake up each morning at 4:30am ready to conquer the day. That is probably an understatement. It is both a choice but a necessity to get up early.


My best work is done in the morning when there aren't any distractions. I also run a business that requires me at both ends to be on the ground. I love what I do, and enjoy working in the fitness field. My job is fun because of this.

But here's the truth: my job these days doesn't involve working in the gym. I'm no longer a gym floor worker and now spend my days between squat rows. I am still a trainer and it is something I enjoy, but I don’t live in the fitness center.


They stare at me when I tell them that my inability to get to the gym is a problem.


Normally, this shouldn't be an issue. People experience times when they are unable to train. It happens. It's not unusual. It's healthy. You shouldn't feel bad about missing a gym day. What happens when a single day becomes 2 days? A week? A month? Even a year?


It happens all day and one day we wake to find out, "What is the matter?" Who's been shrinking my pants all these years?


So that's me right now. (Ok, so I'm still wearing my pants. It's 4 :54 a.m. Now I'm looking at my computer screen wondering "What is the matter?"


The truth is that there's nothing wrong, even if you feel it.


The Myth of the Fool

Proof Fitness Strategy

This is not "7 Ways for You to Never Miss a Workout."


This is honesty. Sometimes, we blame others for things such as lack of support, drive and laziness. These are all factors that can lead to fitness failures. However, sometimes it is not possible to blame them.


Realistically, I've rarely experienced a moment when I feel more supported in my efforts to reach my goals. 6 weeks ago, I started my Getting Shredded program. If you didn't see it, my wife sent me a challenge which I was happy to accept. The response was overwhelming after I wrote about it. I was approached by hundreds to join my journey. To answer my questions, I created a Facebook group that allowed me to answer my daily questions. People could also follow my diet program and receive help.


The Getting Smashed community has been one the best "accidents" of my life. They are amazing people and their gratitude makes it so fulfilling. Everyday I read,


I also wanted a thank you note for your hard work. I've found that there is a lot bogus information. It's comforting to know that someone is working to sort through all the crap and help people find out what's correct. -Carrie


It is unreal how much information and motivation you can find on this site. This is the type of people we should be talking with. This is a really great forum. -Garrett


I must say, I love this program! I am getting slimmer, down by 4-5 pounds already. Excellent nutrition. The workouts I do are simply amazing. I continue to improve and am able go a little further each time I train. I'm extremely happy to be able ask these questions and get the information straight from you. This is far and away the most enjoyable programming I have ever done. -Tim.


Busy isn’t an excuse. It's just part of your daily life.

I remember when I used to say "Being too busy is not an excuse" not so long ago. But the meaning of that statement has. For those of you who know me, the "B” word is not something I use. It's a crutch. It's ridiculous because we are all busy. Every single one of them.


Busy doesn't have to be an excuse. It's a common reality. We all get busy. Sometimes, something must give.


This is when we have to choose our priorities first and then make tough decisions. We are all the chief executives of our lives. This means that sometimes, we make poor decisions just because there aren't any other options.


In my instance, I had the choice of Gym oder Queen of Born Fitness.


My wife will always win over me in the gym.


My work is not to be neglected in this setting. Everything that I put my signature on is a representation for me. This means I can only push harder and offer more than anyone would expect. This is my recipe for success.


My fitness had to suffer. I did not believe I was letting down my colleagues working hard. I thought that I was selfishly putting their needs first. I checked in every day, provided the workouts, offered my assistance, and was still there to help them.


But, the more time I wasn't at the gym, the more I realized that my seemingly selfless acts were potentially selfish and dangerous.

What are the closure of larynx exercises

You can swallow more easily with larynx-closure exercises.   They can be practiced and may strengthen your larynx muscles.   Your voice box is also called your larynx. You must chew your food properly before you swallow.   This material is absorbed into your mouth through the pharynx, which is a part your throat.   The chewed food then passes through the esophagus, a long tube.   The food then goes into your stomach, and then your gastrointestinal tract. Air travels through your mouth, pharynx and into your larynx (towards your lungs) during breathing.   The epiglottis, which is a flap that covers your throat when you swallow, acts to prevent food particles from entering your larynx or lungs.   To assist in this movement, the muscles of your larynx pull up.   They are also tightened during swallowing.   This prevents food particles from reaching your lungs.

Are you too busy to work out? You too.

I own a business, consult with highly successful companies, assist clients and write books.   I have a family.   I am married with responsibilities.   These are not complaints.   These are facts. The fitness industry has been my passion for the past 15 years.   Every day, I get up at 4:30 to start the day.   It is an understatement to say I am ready.   Early rising is both an option and a necessity. When there are no distractions, I do my best work in the morning.   I also have a business that requires me on both coasts to work.   I love my job. I enjoy training hard, eating well, and everything else that comes with the fitness industry.   This makes my job so much more enjoyable in many ways. However, my job these days is not spent at the gym.   I spend my time between squat racks and not on the gym's floors.   Yes, I still love training people, but the gym is not my home. When I tell people that I have been unable make it to the gym, they look at me as though something is wrong.
