Workout in Washington Hotel Gym

Down in Washington, D.C. (well, Alexandria, Virginia to be precise) at a seminar. I'll be speaking on the Right Habits of Success tomorrow morning. It really is a summation of my life's work on becoming more productive.

Today, a productive Hotel Gym Workout to kick things off.

Started with a warmup including the WYLIT upper back series (see my videos on Youtube.com/cbathletics) and T-pushups, followed by the real workout of Pulldowns, Pushups, Cable Row, 1-arm shoulder press, DB Triceps, DB Hammer Curls. Good times.

Today's Kickbutt Mindset Tips:
Success is not just a number on a scale or clothing label. It is the achievement of living with maximum energy and having built the habits that make good, healthy choices seem natural to you. When you choose to eat healthy and you choose to exercise instead of watching TV, that is achievement. This will help you love life and the people around you more. The process is often just as important as the physical progress. A body transformation cannot happen without a mental transformation as well.

"To whom much is given, much is expected." - And the truth is, everyone reading this has been given so much...much more than any other generation in history. Use your talents. Share your gifts with the world. Avoid the temptations to waste your time and talents on insignificant matters. There are too many people to help, too much good to do. Don't let anyone, any negativity, or criticism, stop you from living the gifts you've been given.

Consistently and constantly force yourself to focus on the critically few proactive activities that produce exponential results. Don't get caught up in the minor details and clutter your mind. Focus on the BIG ideas, values, and relationships in your life. What good is spending another 5 minutes on the Internet reading about the details of some stranger's life when it takes 5 minutes away from spending with the people who matter in real life?

Identify what really matters,

The PVC pipe is my favorite, with the small blue Acuball a close second. And don't worry, I don't show this set-up to girls on a first date.
