Fitness Motivation: Ordinary People Do the Extraordinary

When we see photos of fitness competitors and professional athletes, it can be very motivating for some people – but very discouraging for others. It’s easy to set ourselves apart from the professionals, or from people we think we can’t relate to, and think to ourselves “I could never do that”. But, when I see someone with my own struggles, it gives me hope and I am instantly encouraged.

The fact of the matter is, we can’t judge a book by its cover. Just because someone has succeeded doesn’t mean they didn’t have their own obstacles to overcome. They may have also at one point and time doubted their own potential. The only difference is they didn’t let it keep them from trying to be their very best.

That is why it is SO important to share their stories with you. And, if you have found fitness success, that is why it is SO important to document your journey and share YOUR story with others. You may be the next success story someone needs to hear.

That is why I put this video together of some of our competitors. Our competitors come in all shapes and sizes, different ages and backgrounds. And, after you watch this video, you’ll see they all learned something – not just about fitness, but about themselves. You’ll understand why a bunch of people took the plunge to face their fears and do something so crazy, so scary, so bold, so intense and so out there.

Get ready to be inspired, encouraged and motivated. Because, they are proof that ordinary people can do very extraordinary things.
