The David Within

When they asked Michelangelo how he made his statue of David he is reported to have said, "It is easy. You just chip away the stone that doesn't look like David." Regardless of what our present fitness state may be and even after years of neglect each of us has a Fitness Self waiting to be revealed. There are hundreds of success stories on the BeachBody websites to prove what I'm saying is true, and you don't even have to go that far.  There are plenty of people that I coach, who are at various stages of the program, who have achieved remarkable results.  Each individual had to make the choice and believe that he or she had the potential to transform his or her Self into a work of fitness art. It would not be easy. There are NO SHORT CUTS to excellence. But with a tiny step, a first "chip", the process began and in time a masterpiece was in the works. The tools of the trade are at our fingertips. Say goodbye to trying to figure it out yourself, gimmicks, "short cuts", the old tools, the knife and fork and drive-up window, and pick up the tools of success. 


A set of weights, a resitance band, a yoga mat, and the "play" button on our DVD controller can empower anyone to be a sculptor of his or her own fitness destiny. So if you are on the fitness path then congratulations. If you are not or know somebody who isn't then encourage them to pick up their own hammers and chisels and one little piece at a time remove everything that doesn't look like a fit, healthy person. There is a work of art in each of waiting to be revealed. Just ask David!

Decide. Commit. Succeed.



...and Bring it!
