Make it through the pain

I work with alot of students on a weekly basis and want to make sure to offer the best possible advice so they and most importantly, YOU, stick with your fitness plan this year.

Whenever you start something new and especially something fitness related, there is a certain amount of pain you have to endure a few days following your workout.

Gage the amount of pain you feel after your workouts to determine your level of fitness.

If it takes you 1 day to recover you're in very good shape and next time, you need to push yourself harder.

If it takes you 2-3 days to recover you need to take training very seriously and stick with your program, this is your bodies way of alerting you, confirming that you're not using your muscles on a regular basis, remember the old saying: "Use it or lose it".

If it takes you a week to recover, you need to look at yourself in the mirror and say: "Get your ass in shape because your life depends on it".

Most people get discouraged at that point, the point where they wake up the next morning feeling stiff and sore, deciding they are just out of shape and call it quits.

This is exactly the point where you need to double your efforts, your focus and determination.

You don't want to dig for gold and fall short of hitting the jackpot because you gave up just a few feet away from uncovering the prize.

Typically the prize is found around the 5 th workout. You feel yourself getting stronger. You have more endurance. You're less out of breath. And the muscle soreness you feel the day after your workout slowly diminishes. Instead of dreading the next morning you're looking forward to it, kinda like a scale to measure the degree of intensity you brought to your workout.

Progression is so much easier when you follow a system that was designed with that in mind.

Start with your very first step to top physical fitness. Partner with us and make week long soreness a thing of the past.

Get started NOW.

Master Yourself,

Sifu Martin
