Show Up!

The year is 2016. The information available to us is at an all-time high. Instead of cashing in on this information and acting on it, we spend our time looking like my buddy here to the left. We scour the information for the new fad or gimmick. We then ponder, "What do I need to do to get to where I want to be...". After a few hours of that, the gym is now closed and you don't have time to make dinner. Fast food it is tonight! This cycle then continues. Finally, we get to the point where we blame the program for not working and begin searching for a new one. This is our attempt to heal a gash that needs stitches with only a band-aid. Often times, the program doesn't work because we fail to SHOW UP!

​We are getting fatter at a rate that no one could have predicted 20-30 years ago. To say that the cause of all this is a lack of "showing up" for a workout is a little crazy. But showing up happens in more places than one. It happens when we load up the plates on our kitchen table (and not just the plates we put on the barbell). It happens when we know we should be in bed, but instead we are checking out the latest gossip story or our favorite tweets of the day. It happens when we are supposed to go to the track for a sprint session or when we have that last hill sprint. If we don't SHOW UP, we are never going to accomplish the things we set out to do!
