I came across this video today (courtesy of my colleague Sean Greeley) and had to comment on it.  The late, great Jack Lalanne hits the nail on the head!  It’s amazing how great advice rarely goes out of style!

At FRESH!, we see most of the people we see at our studio have come to us to lose weight, get in better shape, or in some way change their body.  They come in fixated on the exercise and nutrition components and sad stories of how they’ve failed at so many past attempts to change.

Not to toot our own horn, but we are great at helping people reach their goals.  The (not so) secret strategy is that for many of these people, we don’t focus on the fitness or nutrition.  Sure, that’s an important part, and something which will help them along the path to success; but the biggest improvements come in the area of MINDSET!  What Jack is talking about in this video is one part of mindset (worry), but the concept is the same.

NOTHING IN YOUR LIFE WILL CHANGE, UNTIL YOU FIRST CHANGE YOUR MIND!!

We see people every day who are frustrated about how they “can’t” lose weight, “can’t” find the time, “can’t” ____, but the biggest thing that has to change are their internal thought patterns and consequently, their outlook on life.  Without going too “The Secret” on you, it’s important to remember that every thought you have shapes your perception of the things you encounter in life.  The only thing you can truly control is your own mind.  Once you begin doing this, you will be amazed at the things which happen in your life.

This is one of the reasons why our clients who see great fitness and body composition results also say that not only has their body changed, but their entire life has been transformed.  From relationships, to career, social situations, and self confidence, the benefits of changing your mind are endless!

So, if you’ve been struggling to see the results you want, perhaps its time to take a look “between your ears”…and give us a call.  We will help you transform your mind and thoughts through our unique approach to health, fitness, nutrition, and wellness (because the mind and body are completely connected)!

Have fun and an amazing day!
