"There are some people who live in a dream world, and there are some who face reality; and then there are those who turn one into the other."--Douglaus Everett
Why Aren’t You Motivated? A good dose of motivation can change your life almost overnight.
The best part of my job is seeing clients achieve amazing results. Whether they drop a few sizes, lose the baby weight, get off their blood pressure meds, or shrink their waist the excitement is always contagious.
There really isn't a clear way to describe the euphoria that settles in once you've realized your fitness goal. You have to experience it.
Though each successful client is unique with different goals one element unites them.
They are all highly motivated.
You see, I am in a unique position. I know how to get you (or anyone else who walks through my door) into great shape. I can coach you through a 50 pound weight loss. I can guide you to a healthier body. I can even train you into a toned athlete.
But there is one catch.
You'll need to be motivated.
See, saying that you want to get into great shape isn't enough. You need motivation-and that's just half of the equation. The other part (and the most important) is ACTION.
Nothing happens until you take action.
You can want it, think about it, mull it over, ponder it, plan it, and then re-plan it. But nothing happens until you take action.
While I may not know your story-it's probably safe to assume that you are dissatisfied with your body and know that you can improve your fitness level. You want to look better, to have more energy, to experience fewer aches and pains, and to enjoy sweet satisfaction as you achieve your goals once and for all.
I know that all of my successful clients were once in your shoes. They wanted to change their bodies. They felt urgency. And then they did what most fail to do. They took action and contacted me.
But there is more to it than that. They then committed to a program, put in the exercise, stuck to their diet and met their goals. There's nothing more gratifying than getting back into those jeans that now sit in the back of your closet.
Those that take massive action get massive rewards. And those that simply talk about losing weight will continue to put weight on, pound after pound. I hate to put that way, but it's the truth.
So what do you want?
To drop 20 pounds
To feel younger
To look better in your birthday suit
How bad do you want it? How much motivation do you have? Enough to take MASSIVE ACTION?
The rewards are great IF you do.
The Art of Eating Mindfully
Do you ever find yourself snacking away without paying attention to how much you're eating? Maybe you're focused on a movie or the ball game. This is a sure-fire way to gain weight. When your goal is to drop pounds it is important to practice the art of eating mindfully. This means that when you eat you should stay tuned in to your level of satiety so that at the first sign of fullness you will stop.

“Without MedX, I would have given up golf. My lower back problem was life long, but had become so painful that I had to wear a brace when golfing, and even with it, I felt constant pain. Within weeks of working out on the MedX equipment I was able to play golf pain-free. A year later, I have dropped three strokes off my handicap.”
--Bradford D. Smart Ph. D.
