Our job isn’t to try and destroy you during your workouts in the beginning of the program, though you might think that this is exactly what we are trying to do as you find your way through “The Threshold” of starting a fitness program.The first few weeks are the hardest.We are constantly stiff and sore as our bodies are becoming adapted to something totally new.It’s okay.Things will get easier.
I can assure you that everything we are doing in each and every workout has a plan and a purpose.In each workout, we are aiming to progress and improve upon some area of your fitness development.
The first few weeks, we are primarily focusing on: ·Learning movements ·Building momentum ·Building your confidence in your ability ·Being consistent ·Breaking down self limiting mental barriers
We have become quite adept at learning to listen and decipher what is coming out of a person’s mouth during exercise.
People often will say that they cannot do something. However, we don’t ask you to continue with your set because we don’t like you and like to see you suffer.We are asking you to continue because we must change your psychology.You must understand that most people who have not achieved fitness success in the past have mental limitations that they have set on themselves regarding what they can or cannot do.Therefore, when someone tells us that they cannot do something, we already know that that is what you believe.However, it is often these very beliefs that are restricting your success. You CAN do it!Prove it!
What your body does is more important to us than what your mind is telling us.Your mind is seeking comfort.We promise that we will not ask you to do anything you truly cannot do safely.I (Jeff) have never in all my years of training had someone become injured because they were trying to push through their “I can’t” mental barriers.
What we are asking for here, as you embark on this wonderful fitness journey, is your trust.Trust that we will change your body and your life forever.Come to all of your sessions and leave your sweat and heart on the floor.I promise you that you will come away from it a different person.
We the coaches here at Paradise Fitness Camp are emphatically looking forward to working with you.As part of our community, we have now become a team.Your goals have become our goals.We will accomplish them together, smiling and drenched in sweat.
