FUN-UARY!!!
Happy LOVE Month EVERYBODY! This is a month I’m going to remember for the REST of my life. On February 28th, 2010 I’m getting married to the lovely Ms Jessica Rose Clark, wwwoooowww. Thank you to everyone whose played a part in our lives. We can’t believe it… It’s a mix of a lot of special sparkly emotions 
Aannndd funnily enough we both feel a special bond to fitness as we met for the first time on the stairwell at the Greenwich Village Equinox. You never know who you might run into? Happy Valentines Day, Happy February, Happy Everything!
* SHORT CUT STORY
As fitness professional I get asked a lot of questions.
How can I get fit faster?
Why is it so much easier for her or him?
What’s the next hot thing? Am I missing something? Is there a trick?
I stand here to tell you there are no tricks annndd it isn’t easier for her or him. The “New Hot Thing” is made up so that people can make money, sell advertising and keep you feeling like you are not enough. But the truth is YOU are enough. You can do this… The squat, the push-up, and the jumping jack have been around forever because they wwoorrk. You don’t need anything fancy to get a great body. All you need is a desire to do it, the poise to stick with it when it doesn’t happen immediately, and the confidence to believe it will happen.
There are no short cuts. You have to work for it and earn it. If a workout seems too easy it probably is. If you’re looking to lose 10lbs and you’re not sweating up a storm or huffin and puffin it’s not going to happen. It isn’t easier for anyone… The only difference between people with great bodies and average bodies comes from within. They are willing to do whatever it takes- Wake-up at 5.30am in the morning- fine, no carbs with dinner- fine. NO EXCUSES baby annd if you think that’s easy you’re dead wrong. GREAT bodies take great effort.
It’s hard… but do you want to know what the reward is? It’s being able to look into that mirror and be proud of yourself… Not just you on the outside but proud of you on the inside. It takes courage and strength of character to be consistent everyday and trust your journey. Trust in you… to never give up and BRING IT. Bring it even when you’re tired, even when you don’t want to.
I find a lot of times… My motivation, my drive, my strength come from the same thing that at one point in my life made me feel my weakest. There are no shorts-cuts to greatness, it happens everyday on that bike, in the main studio, on that treadmill… When YOU go for it! Great bodies happen over time. YES time. Sometimes it takes years to get where you want to be, but then you can look back and say… I did that, I did it.
You know you can do it… Go for it in FEBRUARY! Show yourself how strong you really are.

I read a great book last month called CRUSH IT. I saw this guy speak online and I had to check out his book… He makes me giggle. Here’s my favorite quote from the book – “Love your Family. Work Super Hard. Live your Passion” – Gary Vay-Ner-Chuk
Happy Valentines DAY!
