Eyewitness Fitness Training Principles and Philosophy

Eyewitness Training Principles and Philosophy:

-To do whatever it takes to build your body into a peak-performing, vitality-filled, subjectively awesome structure that it is meant to be...

Which will include various forms of strength, endurance, flexibility, re-structuring, intentionality of engagement, muscle control, and the like...

and remembering that if you chase too many rabbits, you catch none.

-The following come and go in seasons of need, and require a certain focus, mindfulness of attention, and objective (often a skilled third-party) feedback:

One should strive to be leaner, stronger, and more agile, from wherever you happen to be.

You must start from where you are - but the good news is that it can always improve.

Your body will burn fat, build muscle, and heal up until the day you die...albeit at a slower rate at age 90 than at age 9; Thus, why not maximize that capability, and see what you can do, now?

Most people hesitate on change, because they don't realize what 'better' feels like!

Your energy will go up and down day-day; give it your best shot TODAY, and keep your efforts focused in the right direction. The path up a mountain doesn't have to be fixed - as long as you get to the top.

Your lifestyle is key to sustainable wellness. You can't pour water into a glass with holes in it, and expect it to stick around. So too, you cannot pour effort for change into a lifestyle with cracks, or one that is already too full, lest your efforts be in vain.

The only shortcut is to do it right the first time. Pay for expert advice. An expensive program could save you years of trial and error, thereby speeding up your learning curve and sending you to greatness much, much sooner.

The good news is this: Doing it right works every time: Once you figure out how things work, you can rely on that for the rest of your life!

However, what is 'right' in one season for one person, may be different than what is right in another season, for another person.

No one gets it right every time - but keep ALL of your energy focused on getting it right, so that you don't waste time or energy wondering why it went wrong.

Thus, it's not about 'getting it' 100% of the time, but giving it 100%, all the time.

Safety comes first. You wont' get very far with injuries, whether emotional or physical.

Biomechanics are key. Don't shortchange learning or re-learning how to move properly

Scale to proficiency. If something is too difficult to get it right, scale back the weight or the complexity, until you can do it well. Then, work at that load (reps, sets, intensity, weight, etc). Let your body respond, and when your competence increases over time, then increase the load.

Intentionality: Great lives, great bodies, great minds are built upon consistently making great choices. Period.

"Psychology trumps physiology every time" - Alwyn Cosgrove.
---->A lot of social support, morale, energy and focus can and will overcome a night otherwise not well rested, or a less-than-ideal diet plan.

Have Fun, or change it up until you do! There is a time for "sticking to the mundane routine". However, life is also too short to hate what your doing.

Well-begun is half done: A good set-up makes the process much smoother.

Alls well that ends well: It doesn't matter so much where or how you start, but that you start, and even more importantly, how you 'finish'

On this earth, you are never done, so to speak. So then, it's  about 'how far can I go'?, "What can I actually accomplish?", and "what are my gifts, and what is my purpose on this planet?"

You were built for greatness in your field of talent and passion. Step into it...and keep stepping.

"Push to your limits, and your limits expand" - Robin Sharma; but if you push too far at once, you break down.

In a nutshell, we want to thrive and help others thrive in this vein, to literally "be":

 Holistic, integrated, structurally sound, supported, systematic, intentional, thriving, at peace, energetic and healthy from the inside->out, spiritually, mentally, emotionally, physically, financially, relationally, socially, sexually, and every other way.

All the specifics flow from this, and require honesty, humility, and superior guidance than what your own thoughts can offer.

That is all for now. Review these aformentioned thoughts on living well, and see where and how you can come into agreement.

And then: Act on them! It takes channeled efforts and consistency to achieve anything.

Get started, even in a really small manner, today.

Strength and Honor to you this day,
