When would NOW be a good time?!

We quite often think and talk about things but do we, or you, actually follow through and do those things? Like NOW.

Why not challenge yourself today?

A friend of mine once told me that if you can do something different than what you would normally do, something in your life that will cause you to stretch and cause you to grow, something to increase your current circle of influence, then it will cause you to have a lot of things change and grow in your life. And that’s what a group of us did this past weekend.

The Banter Boys

I suggested to some friends of mine, Rob Claridge from Claridge Naturopathics, Craig Goddard from Subway/Muzz Buzz and Ross Hultgren from Chapman Welsh Financial Services that we go for a weekend cycling, where we take off and head to a set destination (in this case we went to the Yarra Valley) and go cycling for three days. It gave us a fantastic opportunity to talk about business (including our personal business crusades), our personal lives, and the decisions we made that brought us to where we are today and formed our journeys, and what a magnificent weekend it was. Three days felt like two weeks holiday. We’re fitter and stronger, our legs, admittedly, a bit more sore. And we’ve learned so much from each others stories and life journeys. There’s just so much we all benefited from.

So why not step out from your usual routine and do something you’ve been thinking about for a while but haven’t actually done?

1 Percent Improvement Is Easy

As a member of Geelong’s Gym, you know that consistency is the key to getting results. Dr Marc Dussault’s concept of the 1 Percent Improvement Doctrine is simple and straight-forward to understand and apply when you KNOW what to do. 1 Percent Improvement is NOT about doing something, but IMPROVING it 1 percent at a time. For example, if you are at work and you’re sitting down for 5 or 6 hours at your desk, a 1 Percent Improvement could be to…

Get up and stretch every hour – even if its’ only for 1 minute. It will revitalise your muscles and invigorate you to work better – BUT and there’s always a BUT… You actually have to do the stretching otherwise you THINK about 1 Percent Improvement, but unless you DO IT, you won’t get the result…

Not sure how to stretch? Guess what? We’ve made it easy for you to learn how to stretch safely without pulling any muscles with the Stretching Handbook.

Get your copy now and get started today by learning stretches you can do at work THIS WEEK.

I know this sounds simple because it is.

You know how hard it was to come to the the gym the first time… and the second and third time…

In fact I am sure you’ll agree it took about 3 weeks for you to really feel GOOD about it and then start to LOOK FORWARD to coming in…

That’s called creating a positive habit and even a positive addiction.

It all starts with 1 Percent…

I’d love to hear YOUR 1 PERCENT IMPROVEMENT HEALTH AND FITNESS IDEAS.
