Friday Inspiration: Love Yourself

Loving yourself is so important with exercise, with yoga, and with life. If you can learn to love yourself and all the flaws, you can achieve so much more with your body, and you can love other people so much better. I am inspired by people that genuinely love themselves. Just something to start to work on this weekend :)

Friday Inspiration: Do not be Afraid to Try New Things

It is easy to stay in your comfort zone, but you really don't achieve much in life or with your body if you stay with what you know. The depth of your growth usually occurs at the end of your comfort.

So what am I trying to say? With exercise, with relationships, with work, with travel, and with all of your experiences, do not be afraid to leap. The worst is that you fail and gain experience. Go for the seemingly ridiculous. As the saying goes, "Don't fear failure so much that you refuse to try new things. The saddest summary of a life contains 3 phrases: could have, might have, and should have." Deep.

Have a lovely weekend, readers. Do something you haven't done before.

Cheers Eights & Weights!

The September Inspiration Challenge is On!

What inspires you? We all have our inspirations in life; things or people that make us want to be better - to do better - whether it be in fitness or just in life. Throughout this month, in partnership with GaiamTV, I am hosting a challenge on our social networks (Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook) called September Inspiration.

A Little Information About Our September Challenge!

August is almost over, which means our September challenge will be beginning soon. So I thought I'd give you a sneak peak into the challenge. It is all about you. It is going to be all about what inspires you, in life and in fitness. You would need to upload a photo of something or someone that inspires you to be healthy on one of our social media outlets, a tagline, and the #SeptemberInspiration tag. Videos are acceptable too.

I'm excited about this challenge and hope you are too! Start planning what you want to submit, tell your wife, your kids, and your friends, and I'll hopefully be seeing your pictures starting next week.

FYI - There will be prizes to be won from GaiamTV. I will let you know more about that soon ;)

Cheers Eights & Weights!
