This is your BOX

Where do you work out? How do you work out? Who helps you get better? Do these "things" matter? All great thoughts, and they should matter. Why does it matter? Many thoughts come to mind, "Do I work hard at this place? Am I pushed by others? Does it suck to push my limits to get better? Do the movements challenge me? Do I try new things? Do I eat healthy? Do the people care about me?" and many more of your own thoughts. Do you have goals?? Hopefully you have goals, because how do you measure your success? You need goals, no matter where you exercise, whether it be in a gym, your backyard, a box, a park or Time Square. I hope you answer yes to all the questions about the "things" that matter. If you only say yes to a couple try to execute the rest. If the place you workout is lacking in a department help it become better by speaking up. If the trainer sucks let him know. When you are working out and you observe your fellow being slacking let them know about it. If you are receiving criticism, it is to help you, don't take it to heart, use it to get better. Should your fellow being be working hard, doing it correctly, let them know and encourage them to continue. Use constructive criticism, do not become selfish and cruel. Use your resources if you get to the workout early, use the barbells, rings or etc… to work on something you struggle with. Also, you could plan your attack for the workout, how could I take less time, what are my strong points, where can I make up some time because I suck at rowing? Most importantly, have the right attitude with an open mind to try something, without doubting yourself. Hopefully in your endeavours you find yourself and what you have been looking for, good luck in your journey of life. This is about more than becoming fit, it is about improving your overall health and prolonging your life!

Have Fun!
