Hello, everyone.

My nickname is Warrior. I have a goal to spread the message of extreme fitness and also get into my best shape ever. I've been in really good shape before, but now I want to surpass that and help people reach elite levels of fitness.

In my quest to share the message of extreme fitness with others, and help them get into shape, too, I wanted to ask you if you can do me a favor?

Can you please tell me what is your biggest problem, or challenge, in your quest to get into better shape? If you're in great shape now, then what was the greatest obstacle in your path to reach where you are now?

And get deep into it, too. I'll read all of your posts and pay attention to it. What I want to do is to help everyone, either by finding a common problem and telling you how I've overcome it, or finding anothe approach to helping you solve/overcome your biggest hurdle.

Letting me know by replying to this post will make me aware of your biggest problem, then I'll know where to focus my energies on.

Much appreciated,

Warrior
 
Welcome to the forum! Wish you the best of luck.


My biggest obstacle:

Overcoming mental weakness while dieting and learning how to appropriately deal with them: I have mastered it instead of it mastering me.

One truest form of wisdom is learning to "master yourself" within your fitness goals.

Learning rather quickly that the mind game one plays with ones self can either keep one on track, play a roller coaser ride, or throw one completely off track, and all the while, the body is waiting for you to get your S**T together one way or the other, because it "will" follow what you decide to do:

The body has no mind but will listen to your mind all the time.

===========================================================

Staying true to "yourself" and not letting anyone tell YOU what your goals are.

No matter what people tell you, the mind can play a "damaging" factor in fitness or a "positive and influencial" factor in fitness. Its "under estimated" and yet so powerful.

You can be the Master Plaster of your own Disaster or the Master Caster of your body Plaster.

You decide which it is.

Don't under estimate "whats happenen in your head" and have it apart of your fitness goals.

Learning what motivates you as everyone is different. If something motivates you, and someone else doesnt understand,----"who cares". Its works for you.

Failure can be a "poison" or a "benefit". You decide which one it is.

Thanks, Guys

Yeah, I was watching an interview with an MLB pro (darn, I can't remember his name), and he said that it was all 90% mental. There's a great book (well, I don't know if I can say that it's great, since I haven't fully evaluated it, but it's great so far) called Mind Over Muscle by James V.

Hey Warrior. Another newbie here. Realizing that eveyone on here is coming from a different place I thought I'd share my biggest difficulty.

I had to get over feeling very selfish about taking as much time as I did (and still do) to get myself in better shape. Time away from family responsibilities made me feel guilty as hell especially when working full time as well. As a woman (not to say men don't feel this way also) I feel the burden of responsibility to take care of what seems everything and everybody else EXCEPT myself and now that has changed to INCLUDE myself. My mental part came around quickly when I saw how much better I looked and felt.

That's just how it is from my walk of life : )
 
Yeah, May

I can understand your guilt--where you're coming from.

I guess you've already discovered though that when you take time to improve yourself (in this case, through exercise), you make yourself a better person all over, and you have more to offer to others as a person.
