Combat Endurance Training

Seems that every day our world gets more and more cluttered. Along with the clutter comes the noise and more frustration and confusion than we care to handle.

Those who study the skill of quieting the mind call this constant chatter, the monkey brain.

It’s important that we put the monkey to rest sometime during the day and spend a little time with ourselves in quiet.

There’s many reasons for getting to a quiet place the most basic of those being to be able to relax, unwind, and remove ourselves from the hustle and bustle.

Meditation and exercise are the two things that I have found that can help me relax to start and end a day.

There are other ways for us to unwind but it seems that the easiest, most effective, and safest are those that have to do with just spending time with ourselves doing what we need to do to recharge our batteries.

Very soon I’ll give you access to some simple meditations that will prove to be wonderful ways for you to relax and unwind.

Never meditated? Think it’s some kind of hocus pocus?

You might find it to be one of the best things that you can do to relax and restore your energy and get rid of your monkey brain.

Energy is never too far away if we only open our eyes.

This past weekend I had an opportunity to be around an overload of energy.

It was belt graduation at our Karate school. Friday night was beginner testing which I was not able to attend because of a previous commitment, but I heard that the students who tested were really rockin.

Saturday was our Black Belt testing. We tested people for 1st and 2nd degree Black Belt.

The kids who tested for 1st degree have been in the program for 3 1/2 to 4 years. This is not something that a person just walks through and can do in a hurry. These kids and their families make a commitment to train hard and not give up when things get tough.

All of the kids who tested for their 1st degree have come a long way in skill level and in willingness to go the extra mile.

The students who tested for their second degree had to put in at least two more years from the time they tested for their 1st degree belt. So add 2 years to the 3 1/2 – 4 years that they had already put into their training and you can see these are motivated, dedicated people.

I enjoyed watching them perform their techniques but I also get a great amount of joy watching the looks on their faces and the fire in their eyes as they strive for these lofty goals.

Ask anyone of them if all of the work and effort has been worthwhile and I’m sure that you would get a 100% for sure answer.

Sometimes when people get older it’s easier to not expect as much of ourselves physically or challenge wise.

Where are you at with your present level of challenge and fitness? Are you happy or do you need some work. Have you been watching your body slowly get old and tired or have you been doing something but wanting something that could add some kick to your routine.

Either way I’ve got something F..R..E..E for you to take a look at.

Visit my new site at http://coreexerciseslacrosse.com/fitnesswithfred

It’s a chance for you to get some great ideas on how to improve your health and fitness from myself and others in the fitness, nutrition, meditation, energy, and health fields.

Be sure to take a peek at what I have waiting for you with the 2nd Week Workout.

P.S. NEW UPDATE- In an effort to make registering for this new website and get your F..R..E..E month trial underway I’ve taken time to consider some requests.

The request was from people who would like to register for the F..R..E..E month but are not comfortable using their credit card to register.

Here’s what I’ve decided to do. If you are a person who wants to benefit from the F..R..E..E membership but don’t want to use your credit card to register for the trial then simply
Register for Billing by Mail
and fill out your name and address.

The system will register your info and register your start date for the one month trial. After the one month if you are happy with the results that you are seeing all that I ask is that you put a check in the mail to pay for your monthly membership.

That’s $19 per month for some information that will inspire and motivate you to higher levels of health and fitness.

It may be the toughest thing to do as you wait for your goal to be realized but it may be the most valuable component of any success formula.

Everything takes time.

It’s when things start taking more time than a person is willing to wait that even the best and most rewarding results will never be realized.

As you’re going through the process of working towards your goal and being as patient as you can possibly be it’s also a good idea to notice the changes that are happening.

Being aware is a great little ingredient that can make it easier to be patient..

Noticing that you ARE getting closer to your ultimate goal and taking in the small improvements is an important step in staying the course.

Be sure to go to http://coreexerciseslacrosse.com/fitnesswithfred & clicking on the “Fitness Mentality” forum to see the video about patience that goes with this email.  You can also click here to go directly to the video.

You’ll be seeing more and more of these videos over the next month. All of them might contain just that little tidbit of information that gets you real excited about the new knowledge that you’ve just gained and keeps you keeping on.

Progress can’t happen without knowledge and ideas. Be sure to register for your F..R..E..E month on the new website so that you can access all of the information that I’m going to put together for you and also get your password so that you can get to all of the info.

Once you register you will also receive your 3 Bonus videos. You can Register Here

Every area on the site also has places for you to ask your questions either about a topic that is being covered in that place in the site or you can create your own question about anything that you want to know and I’ll do my best to get you your answer.

I’ve been trying to figure out how to give people on my list a chance for closer contact, accountability, and exciting results. I think we’re getting closer.

A few years back I asked a friend to take a look at some of the videos that I had produced. He came back and said that he liked them and that he had given the videos to his 25 year old son to look at.

The young man said that he also liked the workout but the guy who was doing the workouts was too old and needed to be wearing spandex.

Wait a minute. The guy doing the workouts was me and if you think I should be wearing spandex then ask my 17 year old daughter what she thinks.

Now that we’ve crossed that hurdle let’s share a few things that are really important.

First of all I’m 52 years old and many of the people that I’m helping to realize their healthy living goals are over 40. Our needs and desires are quite a bit different than those who are in their 20’s and 30’s.

I don’t think we’re as concerned with the perfect 6 pack abs or the proper color of spandex as we are about being healthy and strong and being able to live long, independent lives.

It’s not so much about looking good as it is about feeling good.

Taking care of ourselves gives us that chance.

As we age we take time to reflect a bit more on what we’ve experienced in our lives and what that experience has taught us.

We also realize that even though we may not be able to do some of the physical things as long and fast as we once did them, we can still do them and even learn new and better ways to stay healthy and fit.

Starting next Monday I’ll start showing you some videos that you can use to get your over 40 body and mind into great shape.

The technology is coming together and I think within another weeks time we will have the site where you can register for your F..R..E..E month of great health ideas.

Be patient. I’m working on it.

They say it comes in bunches. Trouble that is. They also say that after you’ve had your bunch that it goes away for awhile. I hope that’s so.

This past week it was my family’s turn. Trouble all around us.

My brother and father-in-law were both in the hospital for some very scary illnesses. It seems that things are getting back to normal now and I can only hope that enough is enough.

Last Tuesday I went back to Milwaukee to be with my brother and had a chance to also visit with my mom. Mom is now 91 years old and is still taking care of my brother who has special needs.

So mom and I are having a conversation and after a while she says to me ” I think I’m going to get in shape so that I can take care of your brother as well as possible.”

Wait a minute. Did I really hear what you said. I sure did. She said that she wants to get in shape at 91 years old. Now, mind you, she’s always been a walker and a very strong little gal, but she was talking about doing physical therapy and getting stronger at 91 years of age.

I just smiled. Good for you mom.

I’ve been reading a book by Deepak Chopra titled Ageless Body Timeless Mind. In the book he has sections devoted to studies of people who are well over 100 years old. Seems that the secret to their longevity and good health is staying active and eating right.

Hmm… So wait a minute. People aging well into their 100’s and healthy to boot.

I talked to mom about it and she was all for it.

I hope it works out. I really do marvel at her will and determination.

The mistake that people, organizations, and teams often make is to always look at the big picture. Many times it’s the little things that make the most difference.

Football teams sometimes concentrate on the most difficult schemes to throw off their opponents. While scheme may be important effective blocking, tackling and taking the correct angles is the basis for consistent winning.

Individual performance at the highest levels, whatever the arena, comes down to honing skills to the sharpest level possible and then making small tweaks to guarantee success.

Sometimes the tweaks have to do with technique but often times the tweaks have to do with proper energy and attitude.

A new way of looking at an old challenge, letting the confusing situation sit for an evening without beating it to death and coming back to it the next day after a good night’s rest have proven to be effective strategies.

It’s paying attention to the details and getting the details right that makes the difference between those who struggle to get to the level of excellence desired and those who seem to find excellence that comes easy.

Excellence that looks easy comes from adhering to a system that is reliable and comfortable and has been proven to get the best results.

Many times the biggest mistakes made by individuals or teams of any sort is to throw out the proven system in favor of something newer or sexier.

Champions are champions for a reason. They stay the course and stubbornly stick to the fundamentals that work for them.

The grass is not always greener on the other side but it certainly may be a lot more frustrating and difficult to work with.

William Cornell is the chief instructor at my Karate school.

He’s gotten to the level that he’s at, national and world champion, because he has a system for training and for getting his head right for his competition.

He’s driven and he’s focused. In addition he’s willing to listen to people who can help him. In order to be a champion it’s important to get the ego out of the equation when it’s time to learn and take your game to the next level.

It’s good to have goals. Having things that we can shoot for keeps us excited and keeps us moving forward.

Everyone is different with different interests and different motivations. Some of these motivations are big and some are small.

I believe that sometimes we sell ourselves short. Sometimes we ask for too little, sometimes we try not enough, and many times we are frustrated when everything is said and done. Why didn’t we want more and why didn’t we take action to get more.

The taking action is an important part to the getting more and getting more than you ever imagined.

Sometimes people act as if there is only so much to be had. Only so much pie for everyone when in reality there is unlimited pie for all of us if we only make the effort to get some.

Whether you’re shooting for smaller or bigger prizes I have something for you.

Until this Saturday until midnight you can get the single best offer to improve your health and fitness that I’ve ever given. Take your time or jump right in. Either way any one of these 4 programs included in this package will give you more than you ever dreamed of.

Don’t wait. This thing is worth your time and the results are out of this world.

Here’s the info and remember this will go away for good this Saturday at midnight.

There are many roads that lead to success. One of the proven ones is to take some time to write down your goals and visit them often.
That being said there’s much more to it than that. Getting clear what you want is a good first step but after you get clear on your goals it’s time to get on the road to making them happen.
The first and most obvious one is to get going in the direction of the thing that you want the most. Remember, it’s many small steps that eventually lead to victory.
The mistake that many make is to expect too much too fast and then become impatient and eventually give up.
Once the goal is clear then it’s important to add some emotion from past successes to the equation.
Everyone has experienced success at some point. It’s important to feel how good that felt and then bring that good feeling to your next project.
Give yourself a chance to allow the feeling and emotion of a past success to influence the likelihood of success with your next goal.
As you start your new project picture yourself with the goal already accomplished. Remember, your brain thinks in pictures. The clearer you make that picture the more likely it is to happen.
If your goal is in the fitness realm than get a clear picture in your mind of how that will look and feel. Remember to bring passion and emotion to it so that it keeps you fired up and moving on even through the times when it may be coming slow.
