next level

In video games, it is required to live in order to achieve the next level. In fitness training and in particular, RUNNING, it is required to die to get to the next level.

Moving from base fitness to a higher level is a CHANGE.

1) Change your MIND, think differently, kill the old way of thinking - Change occurs first in our heads. There is a thought. "God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I can not change, the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference."

2) Change your Actions, become a new person. Do it differently. Kill the old person who is stuck. - Nothing changes if nothing changes. If exercising two days a week is producing unsatisfactory fitness, the first action should be to exercise three days a week.

3) Change your wardrobe! In Fitness, if there is a change in thought followed by new actions, there is the inevitable change in form or "shape."  Please beware, if the old way of thinking and acting has been completely killed, and the new thoughts and actions are still fairly new, there will be a knee jerk reaction to buy a new pair of jeans. Unless there is a 90 day return policy, don't do it! There is an even smaller size jeans that will fit better. Be patient and continue to wear your too large clothes for a little longer.
