More Bodyweight bodybuilding.
It's a New Year, and I know a lot of people have made promises to themselves, and their friends and familes regarding the changes their going to make in 2010. I also know most people fall back into old habits, and old excuses a lot sooner than they think. I'm no exception I've done the same thing myself, but what does REALLY help, is making sure you're goals are CLEARLY DEFINED, and I mean on the plus and minus side. Let me give you an example, lets take losing 10lbs. Ok on the good side what will happen if the average person loses 10lbs.
GOOD SIDE (aka Why to change)
More energy
Look younger
Feel younger
Healthier joints
More confidence
Longer Life span
Be able to fit into those old clothes again
Inspire others to do the same
BAD SIDE (aka if you don't change)
Lowered self esteem
A feeling of failure
Less energy
Less Confidence
Shorter life span
Look older
Bad habits will probably add to more weight gain (If you've been gaining you'll probably keep going until something stops you)
Buy bigger clothes with continued gain
Inspire others to do the same
Now I think when you look at a decision like that, wether it be losing weight, smoking, or even simple stretching, you get a much clearer picture. Looking at what you're going to get out of it, and the horrible fate you're going to save yourself from. I think that gives you that extra bit of gas to get the job done. I know it does for me, I hate falling on my face, it's embaressing. Thats one of the reasons I always tell as many people about one of my competitions as soon as I find out. Knowing that thier rooting for me, and in some rare cases rooting against me gives me a constant boost of energy, it's what I think pride should truly be used for. To push yourself to improve more, and to stop accepting the way you are as the way you should be.
I've got some goals for 2010 I'm trying my damdest to keep and one of them is sharing more of what I know. I want to give you whatever tools I can t0 make those changes towards a new stronger, happier, more energized you. So expect a lot more of me in 2010 than you saw in 2009.
Go push yourselves and be proud of it!

Rashad Evans, Wanderlei Silva, or Randy Couture in front of him, but on Monday, September 21st, when UFC Hall of Famer Chuck Liddell makes his debut on ABC’s “Dancing With The Stars”, the stage may have changed, but the intent hasn’t.
“I want to win,” Liddell told UFC.com. “I don’t like losing in anything, so I’ll work as hard as they’ll let me.”
“The Iceman” will join 15 other celebrities on the hit series, in the process becoming the first mixed martial artist to compete on DWTS. But Liddell, the sport’s first true crossover star, is comfortable with being an ambassador for MMA, and looking forward to having some fun in the process.
“I’m gonna go out, be myself, and show what kind of people we do have in this sport,” he said. “I’m sure the reaction will be mixed (among fight fans). My friends are gonna be excited and I’ll never hear the end of it because they’ll make fun of me, but it should be fun and I think everyone will like it.”
