    Fearing Failure

    Fearing Failure
    What would you do if you knew you could not fail?

    I can’t begin to imagine how much shit hasn’t been done because of fear of failure. Fear is the story in your mind of you being unsuccessful. NOTHING HAS HAPPENED YET! It's in your mind!

    Willpower is the opposite; it’s the happy ending to the story, the self-determined motivation that doesn’t need a boss or a coach, it is already inside of you. When there is willpower; you try, fail, learn, then try again....Read More

    Get Some
    Even though beauty is in the eye of the beholder, we can all probably pick a good looking person out of a crowd with some sense of agreement.

    In a culture where the media inundates us with images of what we’re supposed to perceive as having attractive qualities and characteristics, it’s hard to distinguish between what is our opinion and what is the opinion of some ad agency on Madison Avenue....Read More

    Fitness Fashion: A Short History
    Trends come and go and popular styles can become unpopular at the drop of a hat. One thing that never seems to change, people like to wear tight clothes when working out. For the last 60 years people have been bringing SEXY into the gym. Hey, and why not? If you got it, flaunt it!

    Bros, just leave the spandex at home.


    50s I honestly have no idea what is going on in any of these pictures. They all just look like eerie screen-caps from The Twilight Zone.

    Ehhh maybe not the middle one... Yogis, It’s Happy Baby!



    60s  I'm loving Jack LaLanne's sleeveless one piece but not quite as much as this polka-dotted second-skin deal with the matching shoes. If this lady went to my gym I'd be there every single day! What the hell is she doing though?



    70s What I'm getting from these pics... Unless you're a body builder, workout clothes are interchangeable between sexes.

    Look at Arnold and this dude squatting with sweatshirts and tights on, staring at a brick wall. Classic! These three pictures prove that this was before gyms had mirrors. Fugly!



    80s Can someome PLEASE explain to me how one-piece spandex bathing suits with leggings fell out of fashion? And this thong deal?! Was this a thing??? BRING BACK THE 80s!!!



    90s  I blame the 90s for a lot of today's health and fitness problems. Look at these outfits, who the hell would want to workout in these clothes? The 90s managed to make skin tight clothing on women unappealing.

    Spandex pants should only be worn by men if: A) you are a competitive cyclist or B) you are an asshole. No one wants to see you squatting with your compression shorts on.

    I thought we made so much progress in the 80s!



    'Nowish Here we are... Yoga pants, 5-finger shoes, and compression shirts. Next stop... naked.

    Popular gym clothes today grab your attention while being functional at the same time. From the strectch of lulu pants to the sweat wicking capability of compression shirts, today's gym clothes aren't JUST for showing off.

    As for the 5-fingers... zip it unless you own a pair. :-P



    The 80s were so incredibly gangsta! People walking around the gym in spandex just not giving a damn. Where's my DeLorean?
