Good things happen in the extra mile, just ask Rocky Balboa.

I’m sure we’ve all heard the phrase, “go the extra mile.” Well there’s a reason why people say it. Good things happen in the extra mile, when you put that extra bit of work in, no matter what we’re talking about; whether it be our careers, with our families, girlfriends, boyfriends, and of course, in our training.

Successful people in any area of life are always the ones who put the most quality work into what they’re working towards. If you want a better family life, spend more quality time with your family. Go that extra mile in the stuff you care about, and in the dreams you’re trying to make a reality.

It’s not always how much, but the quality of the time you’re putting in…

INTENSITY

How intense you are and how hard you work can make almost any program effective.

I used to go to the gym and chat with some buddies on my breaks, not paying attention to my rest time. It wasn’t until I kept my eye on the clock and my mind into each and every rep that I started seeing real results.

My workouts used to be 1.5 hours, now they’re 30-40 minutes and which do you think have given me better results?

The shorter workouts!

I’m working harder than I ever had in the gym and even though I’m spending the least amount of time I ever have in there, I’m getting the best results of my life.

A sample of these workouts will be up soon…

Working smarter is will also make a world of difference in you succeeding or failing in trying to reach your fitness goals.

Like I said I’ve shortened my workouts and I’m getting better results. Aside from working harder, I’m also working smarter.

I’m changing my reps and sets every 3 weeks so my body doesn’t have time to adapt to the stress I’m putting it through when I’m working out.
