Its Friday afternoon at 3:33 Pacific Time. This is about the time we decide what we will stack into our weekend agenda. Will we carry our "good" habits from the week into the weekend or do we deserve to ease up a bit after a long week. This is what typically will set apart those who hit their goals when they went to from those that take 200% of the time or NEVER hit them. It goes back to consistency. I was listening to a podcast this morning by Tim Ferris. He hosted Jerrod Carmichael -- 29-year young standup comedian, actor and writer. Exhibiting a microcosm for those that achieve and do good work he embodies an efficient work ethic...
First week of February down and the majority of us have determined by now if we will be sticking with our New Year's Resolutions/intentions. With the hustle and bustle of life it is is all too easy to get caught up in deferring workouts to the next day, hitting snooze and rolling back into our SUBOPTIMAL routines that we have tirelessly tried to grow out of. A few members of our team have been working towards better habits that will pay off in the long term and one of the books that helps to address the actual 'Tools of Titans' -- that being billionaires, world class athletes and other Top Tier Performers in the their class is written by none...
Alright, we've heard it for as long we can remember going to New Year's Eve parties. The New Year, New YOU cliche is However we here at FITSPI know this will be our best year to date and there are 3 REASONS for it! 1.) We set our intentions to EVERYDAY do something that we are not comfortable with. From trying a yoga class to trying a muscle-up or pushing our 5k time. The key to progress is getting COMFORTABLE being UNCOMFORTABLE. 2.) We BREAK down our GOALS into achievable daily GOALS. We tend to overestimate what we can do in 1 year and underestimate what we can achieve in 5 years. In this same light we can reverse this mindset...
Happy THANKSGIVING Week!
Tis' the week to indulge in the savory spread our family and friends provide and gluttonize with the delectable desserts (full or not).

Daylight savings came and passed this last week and we believe that collectively the shorter days are not the MOST ideal as 5:37 pm can pass for feeling like its 11 pm.. BUT lets take a look at the the silver lining. Though the sun sets at close to 5 pm we still have the early morning sunrise WHICH (if we can begin to trick our bodies) can play in our favor. I must encourage you as a reader to try ONE thing over the next week that is not going to quite as savory as your post dinner fro-yo. TWO words for you. Cold Shower. TWO more words. Cold Shower at 5:30 am. I know if I had you...
