| Your Olympic Quest for Gold |
|
Who is watching the Olympics or perhaps a better question is, who isn't? I don't know about you but that opening cerimony was unbelievable. I guess for $300 million, it should be but I was still really impressed. I think it set the tone for an outrageous Olympic games. As much as I love to watch the actual events themselves, I find great inspiration in the back stories. You know, the ones about all the sacrafice and years upon years upon years of training. It gives me that extra kick in the butt to think these athletes train hours every day, even when they don't want to. I was watching a great interview with Michael Phelps talking about his quest for Olympic supreme status as the most decorated athelete of all times. Think about that for a minute. Phelps will not only eclipse the 3 other athletes who achieved 9 gold medals in their Olympic career but he has the chance to shatter it. In fact, he could double it by the time he's all done - - wow. What I loved most about his interview however was when he was asked about the 2012 Games and his swimming schedule. He quickly answered that he would not be maintaining this rigorous schedule. Why? Because it takes a huge strain on his body and it's incredibly demanding. That almost made him sound human. Michael Phelps admitted he doens't want to put his body through the extreme rigors of training another 4 years to compete in 8 events. I can't blame him but he's no less of an inspiration for anyone who doesn't feel like working out for an hour one day. Here's my Gold Medal challenge for myself and you if you choose to accept it. From today through the end of the Olympics on Sunday August 24th, exercise every day. That's it, I want you to workout every day while the Olympics are in progress. Push through the aches and pain, the "I'm tired's" and the "I'll do it tomorrow's" and strive for your own version of Olympic Gold. That's only 14 straight days and compared to what these athletes go through, it's nothing. If you really want to get into the spirit of the Games, workout while watching them. It will give you a greater appreciation for their achievement and the time will go by much faster. I started my quest on Saturday and I can assure you that watching the swimming events providing enough adrenlin to make me workout stronger. The Gold Medal is within reach - - go after it and enjoy hearing our national anthem on Sunday August 24th! Healthy Jumping... Add this page to your favorite Social Bookmarking websites
