"If you need perfect conditions to start, it means your success is conditional. If you want unconditional success, then be willing to start in under any circumstance" - Alex Hormozi Hardest part in our fitness/ninja journeys is often starting. We have our built in excuses. "I'm too busy. I've got kids to take care of. I'm too tired after work. It's the holidays - I'll start next year." ❌ The truth is even if you finally had 0 excuses, you would most likely fall off the moment times get tough - what needs to change is our mindsets. A mindset that says "no matter what, I'm doing this." This is the mindset that creates discipline, consistency and most of all RESULTS. 💯 This week, don't make any excuses. Get started now 💪

Happy Thanksgiving Ninjas 🦃 🍁 Sorry I haven't been giving my usual updates - I was working on something to really help the community make strides towards building Ninja-like athleticism and its now here - the Full Body Mobility course is finally here! 🤩 This FBM course focuses on: 🤯 building awareness of our main joints: hips, shoulders, knees, lower back, spine, neck ❌ Eliminating stiffness 💪 Strengthening our weak points ✅ Improving Range of Movement 🌊 Building fluidity and smoothness into our movements 😤 Increasing confidence in our bodies capabilities 🏋️‍♀️ Providing options for each level of fitness: beginners who suffer from stiffness all day to athletes wanting to challenge themselves! The course is up in the Classroom tab in the Mobility/Flexibility Section and ready to view and work through it ⬆️ I recommend approaching these workouts like any other strength training session - as that is exactly what this is and add it to your weekly routine 1-2x a week. Once you start doing these workouts, let me (and the community) know how its going for you as I'd love to get some feed back on it 🙏 Lastly, here's our training motivation for the week: "Don’t sacrifice what you want most for what you want now.” - Unknown Holiday time is when a lot of excuses gets made and we find ourselves falling off or even falling backwards in our goals. It's important we enjoy this time but also not let it hurt our progress we've built. Stay locked in, continue keeping what you want most as your top priority and enjoy your holidays in a way that won't have regrets 💯

Hey guys, just dropped a full body mobility video in the classroom! 👆 This video is for all levels but especially friendly to beginners looking for a routine to deal with their stiffness and need a place to start. This will still be a bit challenging in some areas but the goal is to do the exercises regularly to build strength so that it becomes easier. Check it out in the classroom now. Would love to hear what you think! ☺️ Also intermediate full body mobility video coming soon 👀

So I've been dealing with pain in my right shoulder for the past 3-4 months that started gradually and would slowly bother me throughout the day, during workouts, even in the middle of my sleep 😖 I did this one mobility exercise this morning for a couple minutes and just like that my shoulder felt reborn! 👼 Now its not a brand new exercise, if anything, you've probably done it before - shoulder dislocates. It's where you take some stick, bar, band on both ends with your hands in front of you then rotate your shoulders as far back as you can then return to the front. I've done it plenty of times before with a band and it certainly helps with shoulder issue- but the REAL growth comes from doing it with heavier objects 🏋️‍♀️ I did shoulder dislocates this morning with the 45 LB bar with very wide grips and it was certainly challenging and I couldn't bring it all the way back as I could with the band - but for the range I could do, after a few sets - my shoulder felt AMAZING! 🤩 Remember, the solution to pain and stiffness is GOOD mobility and GOOD mobility is NOT just the range of motion - but STRENGTH expressed over that range of motion 💪 So I recommend this workout to anyone with stiff or weak shoulders - start off with a band, work your way up to a light stick, then challenge yourself with something heavier like a bar or something with weights! 💯 Do this gradually and slow with control - it will do wonders for your shoulders. Below it a tutorial of doing shoulder dislocates. Let me know if this is helpful!

"At the end of pain is success. Pain is temporary. It may last for a minute, or an hour, or a day, or even a year, but eventually, it will subside, and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it will last forever." - Ray Lewis Been going through an NFL highlights reel and watching a few Ray Lewis clips. His story and energy, aside from his incredible physicality, is some of the best and most inspiring things I've come across. He came from a lot of pain growing up, but through that it made him stronger mentally and physically till he became the legendary NFL Hall of Famer he is today 🏆 As we go through this week, think about what pain you need to push through to get to where you want to be 😤 Whether it is in training in the gym or in life, understand that the pain is temporary. And eventually something else WILL take its place - whether it is becoming physically stronger, shaping more mental fortitude, creating more mobility, losing fat, building muscle, having better finances, creating better opportunities 💪 Quitting however, especially towards something you wanted, may feel better in the moment to stop the pain - but will last on your mind and your heart. It will be the subtle ache and haunting in your mind asking you, "What if... What if I had trained a little more? What if I had put in the work towards the body I wanted? What if I pushed though the doubts and did it anyway?" 😣 Questions like this keep you up at night. That's why a quitters life isn't an easy one. You get better rest as a champion at the end of the finish line 💯 🚨 So if you're feeling pain, discomfort, tiredness - don't stop, push through it 🚨
