Self-Respect vs Self-Neglect

by Brent Gallagher

Houston, we have a problem. 

Our problem is not something that is out of our control.  Our problem can be fixed in just a few simple steps.  Our problem, sadly, is something that is killing us faster than we could have ever imagined.

Let me put it to you this way:

The estimated population in the state of Texas is 25,883,999. There is a problem with 30.1%, or 7,765,199, of the state’s population.  These individuals are either overweight or obese.

If that number surprised you, take a look at this: 

The estimated population in the United States is 311,792,000.  There are 57%, or 177,721,440 American who are overweight or obese!

The global weight loss market is expected to be worth $586,300,000,000, that’s BILLION, by 2014.  The current cost of being overweight and obesity adds up to $300,000,000 annually here in the United States alone.  The costs are driven by:

  1. Increased Medical Care
  2. Loss of Worker Productivity
  3. Higher Death Rates
  4. Increases in Worker Disability

It’s ironic to think of it this way:  We spend billions and billions of dollars to fix a problem that boils down to self-respect, self-discipline and self-control.

WUF & lululemon Going for GREATNESS Workout

by Brent Gallagher

If we are together nothing is impossible. If we are divided all will fail. - Winston Churchill

This past Sunday was awesome.  It was our first group workout over at lululemon in Highland Village.  Stepping up to the challenge were close to 40 brave individuals who had no clue what they were getting themselves into. 

But as the old saying goes, there is strength in numbers.

Feeding off the energy from each other, the entire crew step up and trained harder than they could have own their own.  That’s the beauty of group training.   

Take a quick look at the video below.  It was only a small portion of the entire workout, but it gives you an idea of what it’s like having others working hard around you.    We had close to 40 individuals come out searching for one thing: SWEAT.

One of the most important aspects of group training is the accountability the rest of your training partners hold you to.  Try making a goal public within a group and see what happens.  It lights a fire underneath you to stick to it and see it through.  

Besides, you don’t want to be the one to let to group down do you?     

West U Fitness would love to have you out at our next 2 FREE group

What Are You Capable of Doing?

by Sean Weigner

DO WHAT YOU ARE CAPABLE OF DOING, NOT WHAT YOU THINK YOU CAN DO

No one trains to fail. Nobody prepares to lose.

Everyone wants to prevail, but first you must compete.

The competition is between what you think you can do and what you are capable of doing. Do not make the mistake of defeating yourself by thinking you can’t do something. Failure is the road to success. Sometimes that road is smooth and sometimes it’s rough. Our failures make us stronger.

Do not be afraid to fail.
Do not be afraid to compete.
Competition is PERSERVERANCE.
Competition is PASSION.
Competition is FOCUS.
Competition is ADVERSITY and the WILL to triumph.
Competition is LIFE, live to compete.

Do what YOU are capable of doing!
