You're Stronger Than You Think.

"Whether you think you can or you can't, you're right!" -- Henry Ford
________________________________

One of the Cardinal Sins of training is to tell yourself (or the coach standing beside you) that you can't do something -- right before you do it.

With the mind having such a strong, undeniable influence on the body, "I can't" is the sure-fire recipe for failure.

Now, I'm not advising you to go train with reckless abandon.  I'm merely suggesting to you that your preconceived notion of your capabilities may be a little off.  So. . .

. . . put your body to the test.

Don't try.

Don't doubt. 

Don't wish or wonder.

DO.

You might just realize that you're stronger than you think.

Great point. Very true-I need to work on this.

Nice to meet you.

I want to change information about a diet and health or the exercise for a lot of people.

I linked your site.

Thanking you in advance.

This is so true. One of the people I train with often stops a long time before he reaches his limit and I find it very frustrating to watch because I know he has the potential to do a lot better than he thinks he can.
