Copy of THE BENCH:You are what you..

OK, you think it is going to be a nutrition class and I am going to lecture you about the fact the BENCH is exercise and it is the balance of that plus how you manage nutrition, WRONG!

Today's post is all about the BENCH showing me you truly are who you surround yourself with. Over the years if most of the key people in your life do not enjoy or support a healthy lifestyle, you will gradually move away from that, hard to be all alone all the time and unsupported. If you surround yourself with smart successful people( not scammers, not egomaniacs, not narcissists, but passionate smart people, you almost by default become better and smarter than those around you.

THE BENCH symbolizes what it is we decide to surround ourselves with. It forces me to want to be with active people, it acts as a symbolic message, you want to be with or around Kevin, you had better know it is game on and it attracts others that also enjoy the PUSH.

Over the years it also shows you the false and perhaps hurtful side of being with people who fake it, this is all about the fact that if you do as I did go and workout in home BUT never really go to test yourself, watch others working out or push yourself, you can eventually get lazy, get to a point where I am doing ok, but are you? Could you do better? Could you push harder? So being around others who help you reach a little higher, reach for a new exercise, or try something new, truly helps you become even better and grow.

There is a saying, WINNING is an all-time thing but so is losing. You become what you repeatedly do. If you think you will lose, you will but if you think you will win, you will. This does not mean failing is bad, losing is bad because you give up. Look around do those you surround yourself with CHEER for you in bad times knowing they want you to eventually win, or behind the scenes do they secretly say, look at him, he failed again, that is losing, remove them as fast as you can. BE A WINNER and have those that cheer for you and support you in the fails so you can keep failing to eventually win.

Surround yourself with people who make you better, who support you but do not let you off the hook but help you find that next nexus of better. Be a BETTER BENCH, YOU ARE WHO YOU ASSOCIATE WITH, it does matter!
