OUTSTANDING

Not Good, Not Excellent but Outstanding. That is what myself and the other Fitness Professionals from  see in EACH ONE OF YOU this week.

It’s mid week through Week 5 and we’ve seen a lot of you putting in a lot of effort to RAISE YOUR STANDARD from Excellent to Outstanding by:

1. Cutting down Food Intake
2. Increasing Physical Activity

Do a reflection everyday and take stock on the two above. Rate yourself – which standard are you at now? If you’re still thinking and telling yourself “I cannot”, it is high time to change those words to “I can!”

What results do you want? Mediocre? Good? Excellent? or Outstanding?

You’ll have to set your targets high, otherwise complacency can easily set in – that is not what you want.

Remember this?

NOTHING BUT

OUTSTANDING

I’ve talked about the magical powers of BELIEVE and DEFEAT with the West Side yesterday.
Both equally powerful. You’ll have to decide if you’re a winner or a loser. Choose to WIN! Let BELIEVE control your Physical and Mental state. Go for nothing less than OUTSTANDING.

On Saturday at East Side, we did our not-so-routine aerobic, plyometric, kickboxing and agility stations for the first part of the training.  As usual -  the Trainers and I have been telling you that you have a choice here:

1. To choose the exercises and do those that you can
2. To choose the intensity and repetitions to your own ability

I then introduced to you our secret training – The ALL OUT  WORKOUT – for this, you have another choice, and you have only 2:

1. To promise to complete the next part of the workout and give the best that you have at outstanding level
2. To take your bags and end your session

(In case you’re asking why the extremes? The programme is designed this way for this particular station – there’s no room for mediocre. This is TeamFitnessGuru’s FITNESS BOOTCAMP, not your conventional exercise class, we’re here to achieve results. Outstanding results. )

The trainers and I are EXTREMELY PROUD and GRATEFUL and INSPIRED BY YOU that YOU have chosen to take up the challenge and step up to push your mental capacity to the limit. Your determination and perseverance pushes everyone to the NEXT LEVEL.

OUTSTANDING!!!!

Kudos!!

ALPHA OEIII… BRAVO OEIII…!!

HPB waved to you to come on board. You took the plunge. You braved yourself. You grooved to the beat.

You made it – you’re with the most efficient and effective group of Fitness seekers for 3 months, and with the most Motivational and Creative Fitness Professionals here in Singapore.

It’s been 4 weeks. How time flies. Now what?

Think back, 1 week before the start of your first Fitness Bootcamp. Where were you? How were your standards in fitness? How FAT were you?

You’ve lost 3 to 7 kilos. You’ve lost inches. You’re now so much fitter.

Your Body is Now Conditioned for Fitness

NOW WHAT?

It’s time to Raise the Standards and Step up to the competition. You are your own competition.

In order to progress you have to STEP UP.

If you keep the level maintain and not increase your Standards. You will be that – at maintanance level. We’re now into the Performance Level.

In order to improve you have to STEP UP!

Walk faster. Jog longer. Climb Higher.

If you think you cant, You MUST. Do you want to get your body to love fitness and endorphins that you’ll crave to exercise beyond these 3 months, 6 months, 1 year and more? Start NOW.

STEP UP!

Assignment 4

STEP UP!

It’s time to Raise the standards. Raise the bar. Raise YOUR BAR.

(a) What can you improve and how much more of it will you do?

Some areas you want to talk about – the domains of your life pertaining to Fitness -

1. Physical (Progression, Intensity, Duration, Variety, etc)
2. Social (More workout time with family, play sports with friends)
3. Psychological (Confident, Self Esteem, Energetic, etc)
4. Knowledge (Learn new exercises, Read on Nutrition, etc)

Please include Before, Current and After today plans.

Eg:  “Prior to joining the programme, I can’t climb more than 3 floors. Now I’m able to do 10 without panting. I’ll push myself to the next level and will do 15 in my next workout!”

(b) OPTIONAL – What have been stopping you from working out and raising your bar since 4 weeks ago?
