Setting goals NOW before the holidays hit!

Okay, I read a blog from a friend of mine, Scott Colby, also a trainer, and wanted to share it with you. It's about how Thanksgiving is such a bad time for binging, and slowing down your workouts, and so on. Let me explain more...

Thanksgiving is just 2 short months away and is a dangerous time of year as the most people overeat and begin to skip their workouts. So I am challenging you.

I want you to set some performance goals that you want to accomplish by Thanksgiving.
By performance goal, I don’t mean weight loss goal, like lose 20 pounds.
It should be something like doing 50 consecutive push ups.
Stretch your limits a little bit here…

Here are Scott's performance goals that he said he will accomplish by Thanksgiving…

100 consecutive push ups

20 consecutive pull ups

Bear crawl the length of a football field without my knees touching the ground

Run a 6 minute mile.

All of these goals will push him to his limits, epecially the 20 pull ups.
He said he will make a video of himself reaching each goal which will help keep him accountable.
By training to reach these performance goals, he will be developing a better body in the process.
So don’t get hung up on weight loss goals.
Increase your performance and a better body will be the natural result.
So what are your performance goals that you can accomplish by Thanksgiving?

I'm setting my goals!
Thanks Scott!

Try my stair interval workout 3-4 times per week and you will lose unwanted, ugly body fat, garaunteed! No doubt about it!

What Is Your Business - Compared to Your J.O.B.?

Hi, I am Chad Cannon. I’m in the business of making people feel good. By that, I mean – feel good through exercise, better nutrition, and nutritional supplementation. I can even help you get out of debt. As I said before, I’m in the business of making people feel good. Feel good about their bodies, health wise and appearance wise, feel good about the social aspect of their lives, feel good about their relationships, feel good about their wealth, and most of all… feel good about helping others feel good.

My business is like many others. I realized this after having a conversation with a client of mine just a few days ago. This conversation made me realize how important my job and my businesses are to you, and how important “I” am to many of you.

You see I was talking with a teacher… an elementary school teacher, the evening before tropical storm “Hanna” was to make landfall. We were discussing how her school had been canceled the next day. She was very worried about her kids. I asked her why she was so worried. She simply said, ”They need me!” I jokingly said “what are they going to do without you?” She replied… “they’re not going to learn how to read”.

I stopped dead in my tracks, and thought for a moment. I thought how important she truly is to a countless number of kids, because she was right… who else is going to teach them how to read. That’s her business. That’s what she does for a living. Her “JOB” is being a teacher. Her “business” is helping kids learn how to read.

Of course that got my mind stirring… stirring about MY business. My “JOB” is being an owner and fitness professional. My “business” is making people feel g.o.o.d, in many different aspects.
During this thinking, I totally realized how important my “business” and I am to all of you. Just like this teacher, someone who totally changes the lives of others, I also have the gift and ability of doing the same.

So I ask you, I beg you to please let me help you feel good. Call me at 843-757-8626 or email me at chad@shapingconcepts.com for a FREE one-on-one phone or in-person consultation. I can’t wait to hear from you!

By the way…What is YOUR “business”?

Want More Stability? Try Un-Stability Training!

BOSU Ball training is one of the best ways to work on balance, coordination, stability, pure strength and much more. Just try standing on the ball. That's hard enough as it is. Once you can stand with no problem, then try walking in place on the ball, then walk in place while turning around in a circle. Don't forget to try both directions. As we all get older and our balance seems to worsen, we have a higher chance of falling and breaking bones. By working on unbalanced surfaces now, you can beat the loss of strength and stability by gaining more now! I highly suggest everyone has a BOSU ball in their homes. As you will see on this video, it is great for every age, not just adults. Both of my children have grown up on a BOSU Ball right from the start and honestly have GREAT coordination and will probably have lots of athletic abilities!
