Week 2 Stimulus Sunday: Try vs. Do

Try vs. Do: The Difference Between Them

10/8/17

I think Sundays are becoming my favorite day for the blog; well other than those pumpkin cookies i gave yesterday so maybe it's a close second to Savory Saturday! Anyways today is another great way to shape your mentality on how to turn attempts into accomplishments. It starts with changing the word "TRY" and replacing it with the word "DO."

The word "try" is a word I hate. Once you say you are "trying" to do something you are building up the intention for potential failure or limited success. For example, if you are fed up with your eating habits and you want to make a change, saying the line "I'm going to TRY and eat better" is basically you saying "I'm probably not going to change my eating habits." Now that doesn't really issue a lot of confidence in yourself to be able to eat better. You are telling me that you are going to attempt to eat better, but in the back of your mind you already know you won't be able to. You just want me to feel good for you that you say you are going to try it but in reality I'm already you know will fail.

In reality, there really is no "TRY." There is either "DO" or "DON'T." You are either going to do it or you are not. Have you ever reached a goal by "trying?" No you haven't because then you wouldn't have reached that goal; you DID it! Anyone who has ever achieved a goal knows in their hearts that doing, not trying, got them there. Trying is not a natural state: trees do not try to grow, wind does not try to blow, sun does not try to shine, and so on. Nature is a doer, trees "DO" grow, wind "DOES" blow, and sun "DOES" shine.

Here I explain why "trying" is not the same as "doing" and why you should get rid of the word "try" altogether:







So in summary, get rid of the word "try" in all forms and make yourself sound more confident by just doing things from now on!!

Two weeks down! Thanks for the support and interest in the blog everyone! More great topics to come.

Best,

Ryan

Farmer's carries is an exercise that replicates past and future farmers whom carry buckets of water and animal food around all day for a living.

Week 3 Workout Wednesday: Tabata with Battle Ropes

Tabata with Battle Ropes: HIIT at its Finest 10/11/17 Tabata workouts are a great way to finish off a workout or to help you get in a quick one if you are strapped for time. Tabata is a HIIT (high intensity interval training) workout that lasts four minutes. Tabata training was discovered by Japanese scientist Dr. Izumi Tabata and a group of researchers from the National Institute of Fitness and Sport in Tokyo. They conducted research studies on two groups of athletes testing for improvement in aerobic and anaerobic systems. One did moderate intensity exercise, one group did Tabata style (HIIT) training. In the athlete group that did Tabata style training, they saw a greater increase in both aerobic and anaerobic systems than the group that did moderate intensity training. So if you want to improve both cardiovascular systems, Tabata should be included in your training. You can change up the time lengths depending on the skill level of your clients. For example, you could do 20 s
