Here is the man who could give up easily number of times but yet for some reason he doesn’t sit down and cry about his life. He is happy. He goes out there and sends the message. I hope that this will put big smile on your face after realizing how blessed you are with what you have.
If there is something that you don’t have or like…. Don’t sit down and complain, Don’t be a crying baby, Don’t get depressed, Don’t think you are the failure, Don’t let the negative emotions overcome your positive side of who you really are. Life is tooooo short to be just a spectator. Go ahead and participate in it.
Every day that passed by is not going to come back. It’s gone. So don’t waste it. Live to the fullest EVERY DAY of you life.
Turn off your TV for a day and see that there is LIFE out there.

Are you kidding me? This is awesome example of what can be done with a human body.
Of course it takes some extraordinary talent to do what these two guys do but without training they would not have been even close to where they are now.
Importance of training and consistency.
You can’t just go to the gym once a week or once a month and expect results (other than soreness and pain next day)
You need to plan your training program, stick to it and give it enough time to see if it’s working.
Measurable results are the only way to find out if what you doing gets you closer to your goals.
Train consistently, following the scientific aproach to training, measure the progress (body fat, tape measure, dress size etc,) and adjust your training program as needed.
You too can be amazing. It just takes time and effort.

Don’t Quit
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill,
When funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but don’t you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won if he’d stuck it out.
Don’t give up, though the pace seems slow -
You may succeed with another blow.
Often the goal is nearer than
It seems to a faint and faltering man;
Often the straggler has given up
When he might have captured the victor’s cup,
And he learned too late, when the night slipped down,
How close he was to the golden crown.
Success is failure turned inside out -
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are -
It may be near when it seems afar;
So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit -
It’s when things seem worst that you mustn’t quit.

Wow!
We did not expect such a great response from our boot campers.
Due to the size of our studio we have decided to take no more than 14-16 participants.
The first class on Sunday October 12 “produced” 16 kick-boxers. Throughout the week we have been bombarded with requests to take more people on. We could not let them down so next Sunday October 19th we will have 20 people in our class that are eager to learn how to punch, kick, and defend themself.
The only bad news is….The Sunday Boot Camp is SOLD OUT and due to safety of our participants we can not take any more boot campers at this time.
We are going to have another class starting in January so keep an eye on the upcoming newsletters and posted info on our website. www.sundaybootcamp.com
We will post a video on the site next week so you can see what you are missing.

You should be proud of your trainers.
Melanie and I competed last Sunday in one of the oldest triathlons in the USA. Morgan’s Little Miami.
There were 947 contestants and we did not come in last.
The race consisted of 6 miles of paddling on the canoe down the river, 5.5 miles of running through the country with “killer hill” awaiting our arrival, and 18 miles of bicycling.
After we saw the course our first goal was to just finish it. We started our training few months prior the event and our goals changed from just finishing to making it in 3.5 hours. We estimated that it should be enough time for us to make it to the finish line.
The night before our thoughts were racing. Were we ready? Had we done everything we needed to prepare?
Pre-race rituals were done. We had loaded our bodies with as much carbs as possible, pumped our tires on the bikes, packed our water resistant bags and laid our numbers and pins out.
6.45 am excitement was high.
Melanie’s start time was at 9.54 am and Greg’s 10.58 am
She took off with her race partner and never looked back. The river was rough and water was low so her canoe was difficult to maneuver.
An hour and twenty minutes later she was on her way back to the top of the river running as hard as she could. The hilly 5.5 mile run was hard but Melanie completed it with ease within 1 hours time.
In the meantime Shawn, my race partner, and I were in the water trying to push the canoe through the shallow parts of the river.
Killer hill is called that way for a reason. There were very few people who attempted to run it. At the end of 5 mile run climbing (I guess) the 20% incline for around quarter mile is something you don’t do for a leisure.
Finally the last event was 18 mile bike ride through Ft, Ancient and for me it was the easiest event.
Melanie completed the bike portion of the race within 1.10 h and I got to the finish in around 50 minutes.
Out of almost 1000 participants I placed 402nd with 3.18.45h and Melanie was 597th with 3.34.07h
Next Spring we are going to beat our times for sure.

You will have 10 minutes to fit in the following routine (see the video) If you can’t do it in 10 minutes train every other day until you will fit all 10 exercises and 300 reps within 600 seconds (that is 10 minutes)
This program does not require any exercise equipment. All you need is a will…… strong will to get through.
The best thing is that when you accomplish the goal you will feel like a Winner.
I can pretty much guarantee you that your body fat percentage will be much lower as well.
If you need someone to push you through this workout please don’t hesitate to give me a call.
This is for Winners not Whiners

We had a quite rough weekend in Columbus OH with the wind reaching 70 m/h.
It caused a lot of damage and left over 0,5 mil people without power.
I have never seen wind so strong in my life.
Flex Fitness Studio lost power for 4 days so we could not train our clients in the building but there is always a way if there is a will.
We took our clients (those who could attend) to the nearby park and served them great outdoor, boot camp style workout. For some it was really shocking to find out that working out without any gym equipment can leave you sore for days.
We had blast and despite the fact that there was no power in town our clients felt quite powerful after this little boot camp.

This routine is very tough. It only takes 10 minutes (if you can fit all the reps withing 10 minutes)
We don’t need any equipment besides your own body and maybe a chair for a set of dips.
Here is a deal: You will perform 10 different body weight exercises at your own pace (keep in mind that the goal is to fit them all within 10 minutes). At the beginning you may not be able to get them all in 10 min or even you will not be able to finish the routine but after few weeks of training you should beat 10 minutes time with no effort.
Here is the routine to follow:
1. 30 body squats
2. 30 diver push-ups
3. 30 squat jumps
4. 30 dips (use chair here)
5. 30 v-ups
6. 30 burpees
7. 30 push-up super mans
8. 30 bicycles
9. 30 high knees
10. 30 ice skaters
Good luck….
If you have any questions about the exercises please send me a message.
The video of the routine will be available soon right here on the blog.
