Stay Motivated, Stay Healthy

Stay Motivated, Stay Healthy.

If it were easy, everybody would be doing it.  But it isn’t easy.

This is the part that confuses me.  If we know exercise is good for us, and that our overall situation improves with exercise and reasonable eating habits, why do so few engage in it?

A top theory I have – people lack the courage to do the hard things. Like think about the consequences. And, there’s way too much codependency.

Editor’s note:  I struggle with this as much or more than you. Everyone does.  So quit feeling sorry for yourself.  I have.

Heres my secret:

“If your goal isn’t impossible, you’re not reaching high enough”.

Basically, the hidden meaning is this – we need to be motivated for something bigger than ourselves.  Period.

The next progression to fulfill Lane 8’s vision is firmly in place. Stay tuned as the story continues.  Carpe diem, jeff noel 🙂

Lane 8 You Tube Video

Lane 8 You Tube video.  A quick video demonstrating progress on strengthening my core.

Ya know, until I got tired of pulling hamstrings, and the physical therapist at Florida Hospital – Celebration Health told me, “You have to strengthen your core or you’ll continue to get hurt”, I had no idea what my core was.

All those years, never worked on my core, other than a few sit ups here and there.

This is much tougher than I’m making it look. I remember when I first started doing this particular exercise, I could bearly hold my legs up for one second.

Tiger Woods’ advice to me, “Out work ’em”, is just like yesterday’s post – common sense, but not common practice.

If my goal is to help others be inspired, I better be able to inspire myself, eh?

Remember my hope yesterday, to list the Lane 8 credentials.  Me too.

That Lane 8 post is written and will post tomorrow.  May I challenge you to Dream Big, Get There, Stay There?  Carpe diem, jeff noel 🙂

Orlando’s jeff noel, from Lane 8, You Tube video on hard work.

The other day jeff noel was at Dr. Phillips High School, at the Bill Spoon Stadium, running 400 meter intervals, in preparation for the 2009 Master’s Track & Field World Championships, in Finland.

I’ve found the harder I work, the luckier I get. Carpe diem, jeff noel 🙂

Hard Work is the Key to Great Results

Last night, after a hard workout at Gold’s Gym, my son and I were walking out.  There is a slogan on the wall that we always walk by, but rarely pay attention to.

Last night, it caught my eye.

Here’s a short You Tube video clip to explain why.  Click Results For Everybody to play.

Hard work is the key.  Since I’ve accepted that fact, I’ve gotten much better results.  Go figure.  Carpe diem, jeff noel  🙂

Blah, blah, blah?

Blah, blah, blah?

Nope.

Dream Big.  Get There.  Stay There.

That’s what Lane 8 is about.   Staying there.

Ran into a Father of my son’s classmate, at the gym yesterday.

I asked, “What motivates you”?

He replied, with an apparent wisdom, that he has found it more difficult, now that he’s almost 30, to stay in shape and keep his weight ideal.

Please forgive me for thinking this, but all I could think of was, “You really think that you’re going to stay fit and at an ideal weight for the rest of your life”?

“Dude”, I wanted to say, “You have no idea what is ahead of you, but I can predict one thing for sure.  If you think it’s hard now, imagine it 10 years from now, or 20 years from now when you’re almost 50”.

How do I know?

Because I turn 50 in three weeks.  I’ve got 20 years of “wisdom and mistakes” on him.  That’s how I know.

Wisdom comes from experience, and experience comes from making mistakes.

I should be the wisest man on Earth, eh?  Carpe diem, jeff noel 🙂
