Awesomeness tip: Learn to THINK awesome
It’s all in the language

Here’s a quick example:
Let’s say you’ve made it your goal to increase your flexibility, and you want to start stretching. You are about to email your favorite exercise Guru for advice.
Here’s the wrong way:
Hey Jimbo Fitness,
What do you think of stretching? I was thinking about adding 10 minutes of stretching to my workouts but was wondering when I should do it?
Thanks,
Brad
So why is this wrong?
Because you are asking for permission and approval of your goal. You are giving someone the chance to talk you out of your goal.
Stretching is stupid, Stretching is for sissies…10 minutes won’t do anything
These are the kinds of answers you COULD get (not saying you will for sure, but it’s a definite possibility)
Remember, to be awesome you have to OWN your goals, and a large part of owning your goals is in the way you think.

Warrior Fit Testimonials

First, I want to say thank you for convincing me to do Tabata! I was struggling to lose weight and Finally I found something that helped! I really appreciate your coaching! - Craig T.

Ever since I was convinced to do Tabata I have seen huge results, I lost 6 pounds and gained energy in the first 3 weeks. I have been working out for 3 months before I decided to do Tabata and I struggled to lose weight. At first I thought "How am I losing weight by bringing my heart rate up then cooling down then bringing it up again?" I don’t know how it works but it does! Thank you!! - Theresa F.

The first day of Tabata, I wondered WHAT AM I DOING - I AM 56 !! Five weeks later I knew that it was what I needed. I learned that I could push myself well beyond my comfort zone and feel good later. I have a marked improvement in physical as well as emotional endurance. - Lyn C.

When I was first told about Tabata I was very excited from the word go, however that excitement stemmed from the fact that I had no clue what it meant. I missed the first week of class b/c I was traveling for work so when I came in during the 2nd week I had some making it up to do. It was hard at first b/c my body wasn't used to working out at such a fast pace, but once I got into a rhythm I started to feel very good. These classes are no joke. If you stick with it you will leave there feeling stronger, healthier and overall better about yourself and what you've accomplished. I would recommend these classes to anyone. Darrin is a great trainer and he'll keep you going with his energy. - Jami L.
