New Years Resolutions - Quick story from my trip to West Palm Beach, Florida

I was totally stoked to stay at the PGA Resort.  Sure it was cold and grey that week in West Pam Beach, but it was still less cold and grey than Denver. 

I got to hang with some of my best buddies Eric Cimrhanzel, the creator of Invincible Fitness, and Tom Gifford, author of The Great Cardio Myth.

On top of that I got to meet some of the top trainers in the world.  Lots of these guys I know online, but it's cool to hang out with them in real life.  The story I'm going to tell you is about what happened when I met one of them - Dax Moy.

Dax is the leading personal trainer in the UK.  I was stoked to finally meet him in person at the seminar in Florida.

Dax not only talked me into giving away two books for The 12 Days of Fitness, but he also convinced me I should get off my butt and start taking Portuguese classes, like I've always said I would.

Being around Dax is a pretty wild experience.  He asked me - "If your e-book made a million dollars next week, what's the first thing you would do?" 

I said, "Take Portuguese classes." 

Then he asked, "Can you afford to take Portuguese classes now?" 

"Yeah totally," I said.

"So do it." 

So my first Portuguese class is on Thursday at 5:30 pm.  I'll let you know how it goes.

I was waiting around for a million dollars to take a class that will cost a couple hundred bucks.  It's crazy.  I'm looking at what else I've been putting off for no reason.

Is there anything you've been putting off that's actually totally within your reach to do?

Do you have an excuse for not doing that one thing that would elevate your fitness level to where you've always wanted it to be?

Or maybe, like me, it isn't even a fitness thing.  But it's something that will kick your quality of life up a notch.  Or just be more fun.

If you're looking for a system for actually getting all that stuff done, you've got to get Dax's Magic 100

It's coming up on New Years Resolution time, and it strikes me more and more that people don't need new resolutions - they need systems, coaching, and accountability to make their resolutions happen.

This year, really be proud of and inspired by your body.

The Stubborn 7 Pounds

My Mentors

  • The Landmark Forum
    Remove all of the mental blocks in your fitness. Find out why "trying really hard" and "wanting it really bad" hasn't gotten you to the level of fitness you want. If you feel "stuck", this is how you get to the next level.
  • Z-Health Performance Solutions
    Transform the way your body moves. Tiger Woods and Michael Jordan move so powerfully and so gracefully because their mind has a better "map" of their body. Z Health clears up where your body's map has fuzzy spots, and in turn you are stronger, faster, more powerful, and more graceful.
  • Alwyn Cosgrove
    When trainers want to get better at training fat loss, they go to Alwyn Cosgrove. If you're a trainer you need to read everything Alwyn writes.
  • Pavel Tsatsouline
    Pavel is the Russian Kettlebell Head Instructor. This is the school for strength and fitness like no other.
  • Dan John
    Dan is a world class strength coach who simplifies strength and fitness in a powerful and unbelievable way. I had a breakthrough as a trainer when I heard him say "People think it takes hard work to produce high level athletes. It doesn't take hard work. Producing high level athletes takes play."
