If You Are Not Getting Better Then You Are Getting Worse...  Alwyn Cosgrove

I wish I could take credit for that quote.  I heard it today when I was listening to some CD's for fitness professionals.  The context was referring to re-educating yourself and constantly getting better at what you do BUT I personally think that phrase applies to all areas of life.

But specifically we like to talk about being more fit, more healthy and getting our ideal body on this blog.  Each day we have to do something to get better in those areas because not doing anything or doing exactly the same as yesterday isn't going to get us closer to the goal.

So each day here are somethings to focus on that make us better:

• Use heavier weights in boot camp.  Have you tried it?  I will not accept "I can't." Even if you use the heavier weights on certain exercises or use the heavier weights for half the workout and then go back down when you get fatigued.  You can always try harder and do better.
• Work out on your days off from boot camp.  Especially if you are only attending 3 or 4 days per week.  Get a workout in.  Go for a run, do some push ups, squats and sit ups, work intensely for 20 minutes.  If you go to boot camp 5 days per week then 'grease the groove' on the weekend, do a few push ups and squats throughout the day to get better at them.
• Re-educate yourself on nutrition we recommend products such as Precision Nutrition and Ultrametabolism
• Tune up your food journals and tune up your caloric intake, could it be better?  If so, work on getting better.

There is no such thing as perfection but the consistent effort to be the best you can be is the closest thing.

So each day let's get better, so we don't get worse
