Today's message, I wanted to stress the importance of mental preparation before working out. Similar as if you were actually going into war, the high intensity and stress of working out can require the same amount of mental planning to ensure a proper mindset for success!

100 Pushups a Day for 100 Days Straight!

Start Date: November 9th, 2009
Finish Date: February 17th, 2010

"It all started from one idea I had late one evening as I was sitting in front of my computer updating my status on Facebook...

A challenge to lead, inspire, and encourage people all over the world to take a stand for themselves to build muscle, lose fat, and have a whole lot of FUN! Meanwhile I release DAILY videos to help hold everyone accountable while also sharing valuable tips, techniques, and strategies for assisting in making a LONG TERM change in a healthy direction. No matter if you're a veteran of fitness or just getting started, we're all traveling this journey together. You're one decision away from changing your entire life. Are you ready?!"

"Be true to yourself, believe in who you are."

Love, Kyle

so yeah, I have a big problem with those little voices that only I can hear in my head (lol, I swear I'm not crazy! xD) What would be a good way to start getting yourself into that mindset of 'I can do this' or 'I am strong enough'?

[kyletgarrett]

@TheEmiBlue I think it's fair to say, if you're a living, breathing human, we all struggle w/ the voices! ..which makes us all crazy too...lol!

You ask how? Here's what I do...Remind yourself, "I'M NOT THE VOICE IN MY HEAD, I JUST HAPPEN TO HAVE ONE." ...and good news! ..the more you can ignore it, the quieter it becomes!!! :-)

It's raining! lol yeah thoes voices are the hardest to exercise.

[kyletgarrett]

@Gravity43kg It's really true! ..the voices will get'cha if you don't get your head right before working out! :-)

[OnEye]

how do you break up your sets .. like in how many reps are you doing/ time between sets?

really did the message.. nice to see a guy with brains.

[kyletgarrett]

@OnEye Andrew, thanks for the comment. Normally when I shoot the videos, I just do 10 reps of 3 or 4 different types of pushups...then when I get home, for the other 60 or 70, I like doing 3 more sets of 25 w/ a little rest in between. Thanks for the kind words, glad you're enjoying the vids :-)

[TheEmiBlue]

haha, alright-- I'll definately keep that in mind! Thanks!
