When striving for goals in fitness or business we all need to derive inner power from somewhere...this power is different to fuel. Fuel is the means to get there as in food & water when training or knowledge for business.

Inner power is your ability to set a goal...not procrastinate & stay true to your word. Power can be described as virtue...ability...competency...all of these create a picture of being true to oneself. You must find whatever it is that inspires your inner power when striving for goals....the journey to completion of goals can be long.

 Some look to life examples of others for inspiration to help set goals...others look back on where they used to be & how far they've come to top up their inner power...& others find inspiration in the heat of battle as they face up to obstacles that present themselves on their journey towards goals..

What inspires each of us of course will be different....but being inspired & staying inspired is critical to keeping your inner power. For without power the everyday efforts can become arduous...demanding great effort & labour...

Find the source to your true inner power & finish what you start..

Dan Osman was a rock climbing pioneer in the early 90's and one of the first to take extreme sports to a new level. He free climbed (no ropes) massive rock faces, buildings, bridges & trees, basically anything that he thought would challenge him.

In this pic he had just finished filming stunts on a BMX bike for one of Metallica's music video clips and in one of those broke a few ribs. He then sucked it up and vertically free climbed over 400 ft with unbelievable amounts of lactic building & fatigue sett'n in on a level that would make most of us puke!

How he then digs deep with the pain of broken ribs to pull the most viewed & respected flagman of all time in Yosemite National Park! To this day it is still a great source of inspiration! At his foundation you would find.....primal pattern exercises...integration of muscle groups & systems...you should know the rest by now....SupChe!!

Time is one commodity none of us can stock up on...it is for all of us limited & precious. We need to view time as exactly that to get the most out of our life. When looking for a new direction with your fitness...business...life we often talk about what we want to achieve & the how's...we make sure the why's are taken care of...but then we need to answer one more piece of the puzzle....the time...or how long will it take? Setting time framez is critical.

Those who don't may find they severely underestimated the time it would take to reach a goal & that impacts on other areas of the bigger picture like energy...enthusiasm...money...patience etc...

Time meanz to control...measure...schedule...regulate....Is that how you view your time? Do you have control over your time?...Do you measure how long smaller goals will take...so you can celebrate them & move on?...Do you schedule time for other non negotiablez in life like family when setting goalz?...Do you regulate your time when you need to be flexible? 

If you've wanted to achieve something for some time now but have hesitated for whatever reason....understand this....you don't get that time back. The fear of achieving goalz in fitness...business & life are irrelevant...that'll hold most back...you may fail..but that's a natural process to success...it may be tougher than you think..good goals are mean't to be tough..along the way you may just enjoy the journey...but only time will tell...

The Spider'd hero embodiez human movement...

When you analyze your training you should always have objectives or goalz in mind. The word 'Functional' gets thrown around these days with everyone jumping on the band wagon with new gadgets & gizmos professing to 'make you more functional'. The word functional will always be tied to "something able to fulfill its purpose or function". Let's apply that to your current training methods.....is there purpose to it.

The purpose of training the human body should always have at its foundation...making the body more functional by strengthening it through its full ranges FULL STOP! This is & always has been the core..starting point..foundation of training. ALL other methods whether for endurance, hypertrophy, speed, power should never come at a cost to the original purpose which is.....strength through free range movement.

 If you have plenty of size but walk like a robot...have plenty of heart & lung endurance but are stiff all over like an old person...have plenty of power but your shoulders & knees have lost their range & constantly grind....you've become dysfunctional & have forgotten your original purpose.

 None of these objectives are wrong....people just need to realise that by incorporating techniques like ZUU that focuses on the founding principle of integrating muscle groups for strength through full ranges....they fulfill their bodies purpose & by doing that will reap even greater rewards....not just in results.....but in everyday functionality....Remember your purpose....Spidermanz....StrengthThroughRange.....RaasaChe!!

Part of goal setting...part of bettering yourself...part of getting more outta your life...is to have a cause...  

A cause means to have motive..reason..aim ..objective..action & purpose..

Many get caught in life 'stuck in a moment' that can sometimes last for years or even decades before they realise it. Worse still is those who know they're in a RUT but convince themselves they don't have what it takes to change their situation & let everybody know why they can't..

Be careful you don't fall prey to RUTS in life that you usually don't see until you look back in hindsight. Finding a cause or having goals is the best protection from RUTS because it gives you something to AIM for.

It should give you REASON everyday to get up & face whatever comez. It should add PURPOSE to your life & who you are. It should have clear OBJECTIVES involved by breaking it down into component parts. A cause will always need you to take ACTION.

Causes are never easy nor should they be...so prepare yourself for the journey & battles that await...there will be times of doubt where you'll analyse yourself..your methods..your direction....but rest assured...those of us in life that choose to fight for our cause would have it no other way...WHY?

What's your other option?

Sit on the sidelines & watch life pass you by....

In the utter silence of space...Superman honed his hear'n towards man hoping for a reprieve from action & longing for peace....

The goalz you have set yourself in fitness...business & life...are they realistic?

One reason people fail to reach their target or goal is due to it being unrealistic & them being unrealistic with their expectations. Anyone can set a goal for any area in life...but how will you get there? Do you have the skills? Do you have the discipline? Do you have a plan? Do you have the passion? Is it meaningful? Do you have a team?

An easy example is fitness & losing weight...people want to lose it quick..now..instant gratification. Can you? Sure....if just weight on scales is your objective.

If its pure FAT you want to lose...then NO you can't lose it quick...& NO there is no instant gratification...it takes hard work..discipline..habitual change with eating..understanding & knowledge...

Being realistic helps enlighten your goal whether in fitness..business or life...the priciple is the same....then ask, are you mentally ready for the journey?

 As he listened...the criez for help filtered through space to his ears....realistic in his expectations for peace & being one of a kind...his purpose was clear...Alwayz set yourself high standard goals...be realistic about your approach...then nail em!!....ManOfSteel SupRaauss!!
