5 Tips to Success In and Out Of The Gym

Posted on April 21, 2017April 21, 2017 by tommyfoose

I believe that there is always going to be those times in your life that you’re fed up, and you’re tired. But, simply thinking about being out of shape isn’t going to do shit for you. It’s time to take action and write down your goals (Google: S.M.A.R.T Goals). I’m not here to blow smoke up your ass, it’s going to suck. If you want to change then your daily habits need to change. If you need to stop hanging around with some people, then do it!

I took some time away from the gym, and i noticed some key points that helped me when I started up again. Heres some tips to help you stay on track:

Start eating healthier, smaller portioned meals. Prepping your food, and sticking to the plan is the toughest part. The exercising part is where the fun is!
Write down your goals. (Smart, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic for you, Time measured.
Write down how you’re going to accomplish them. (What kind of training, etc.)
Track your progress on a monthly basis.
Stay focused, but be patient.

What do you think is holding you back to reach your full potential? LIKE my Facebook page: Foose Fitness, maybe i can help you out!

Supplement Of The Month – APS MESOMORPH

Posted on August 12, 2016 by tommyfoose

MESOMORPH_rocketpop This week i headed over to One Stop Nutrition, out here in Awhatukee, Arizona. I was checking out all the pre workout’s, and I decided to go with APS’s “Mesomorph” Ultimate Pre-workout Complex. This supplement was brought to my attention by a class mate i had military training with. Anyhow, the flavor is, “rocket-pop” which tastes just like a popsicle.

I go to take a scoop, and it probably took about 15-20 minutes to kick it. As soon as it kicked in , everything immediately became clear, and I was really urged to start my workout. In my workout, I’m noticing i had a phenominal pump compared to usual. I definetely stayed concentrated on my time between sets, and finishing each set.

So if i was to grade this supplement on a scale of 1-10, I’m going to have to go with a 9. It was one of those preworkouts, that really gets your shit going, and keeps you focused until the finish.

Are you really living up to your full potential?

Do you honestly believe you’re giving it all you got? We all have goals, but are we all legitimately doing every thing we can to attain what we want? I believe your success comes with hard work, habit, surrounding yourself with the right people, and making the right choices.

If it is our goal to run two miles in under a thirteen minute time frame, then we should probably create a plan to help us get there, right? If we decided we were going to make a cherry pie, then we would have to find out the recipe or how to make it if we didn’t know how right?
That goes with everything we don’t know how to do. Don’t stop with a vision, or a goal, because you don’t know how to do something. I used to hear it quite often as a matter of fact. I constantly would hear soldiers saying, “I want my body like this, but….”, or “I really want to do better on my push-ups, but….”, or “I don’t have time because i work late. ” I will be the first to tell you, you’re so full of shit, and just be honest with yourself, and look at the mirror because you’re lazy. Any thing worth having in our lives does not come easy. The pain goes away, your body will get used to it. The pride of being a fit individual lasts forever. Once you get there, all it is, is maintenance. The hard part is getting your ass up, and eating what you’re suppose to. Don’t sell yourselves short. We all have one life, how do you want to be remembered? Do you want to be old as hell, and go back and look over your life, and say, “I wish I would have done that!”? Don’t stop until you get what you want.

It Starts With Yourself

Posted on April 16, 2015 by tommyfoose

We all have our great imaginations that bring us ideas, that sometimes turn into goals, which then should turn into plans, and execution of those plans. I work amongst some solid people in the army, and i’m finding out that its the small details that’s stopping them from even pursuing their goals and making them into a reality.

When it comes to being physically fit, and being above the standard in the military. You have to constantly sacrifice to achieve. What i mean by this:

1.) You need to create a small block of time out of your day to make this happen.

2.) Create a training plan in conjunction with your goals. “If you want to max, push-ups, and situps, you should have a written plan.”

3.) If you know you’re going to be over weight, start following a solid meal plan. “Do research, talk to someone with experience.”

4.) Write everything on paper to follow, and scratch off as each training day gets finished.

5.) GET UP, TAKE ACTION ON WHAT YOU WANT.

It really isn’t hard. I constantly hear excuses from people such as, “I don’t know where to start, trainers cost too much, I don’t have time,ect…” The truth is all this is a mind over matter experience. If you know what you really want, and you don’t mind the hard training to get to your the goal, then it does not matter.

Get Up & Get After It!

Posted on January 15, 2015 by tommyfoose

I’ve been seeing many of posts via Facebook about how some of my friends are going to change, and start working out. Except i see them in pictures at the bar, or taking pictures of all types of junk food they’re eating. Im going to be the first to say, “You are full of shit.” The only way you’re going to change your body, and circumstance in your life is by taking action.

One good or bad thing that can make or break your goal is habit. The toughest part about getting back into shape is the first few weeks of getting used to a solid routine. You should be prepping your food, having a set time you go to the gym, and following a good workout plan. Once you take those first few weeks to fall into a great ritual. You will want to go everyday! Its already halfway though january, and i know some of you have’t did a single workout. Lets get after our goal, and get on to the next one.

Its been awhile since i’ve made a post. Since i’ve gotten out of the army, I’ve ran into numerous obstacles its not even funny. The important thing is i keep pushing until I’m satisfied. Im definitely on track. Just recently got in touch with a good coach for this year. I am so pumped about it. I took a break for about a month when i left to Tennessee, but i am back into the groove of things. It was good to give my body a break. Big things ahead for me. Just have to be patient.

Great way to start my day…

Did the 11X10 meter sprint test for the Army German proficiency badge. I would have had the best time, but my legs locked out and I fell and busted the shit out of my knee. I was in tunnel vision the whole time, eyes on the prize focused on reaching the gold standard. As soon as my legs locked out, my fall was slow motion. I hit the floor, and what do you think I did after that? I got up, and finished what I started, and still got a good time. The point of this story is life is going to knock you down with hardships, and struggles. The question I want to ask you is, are you going to just lay there and feel sorry for yourself, or are you going to keep going until you get what you want?

Are you reaching your fitness goals for 2014?

You are in charge of your own success in life. If it is your goal to lose bodyfat, and get into a healthy lifestyle, that is all on you. You’re not going to wish your way to accomplishing what you want. It is going to take dedication and willingness to get into the habit of a healthier lifestyle.
If you’re hanging out with people who want to eat McDonalds, and party all the time, you don’t want it. You are who you associate yourself with.
Just imagine yourself laying there in the hospital bed, and thinking about “Why did I have a heart attack?” Then you start having flashbacks of all the bullshit you’ve put your body through probably thinking how easy it could have been just to watch what you eat, and get a little time in the gym. If you’ve already been going, keep going. Get off your ass, get motivated, and conquer your goals. It’s not going to be easy, because we would be fit America if that were the case.

New Beginning

Posted on April 16, 2014 by tommyfoose

It’s been a long, and tough 4 years for me, but have went through numerous positive learning experiences not many can say they have been through. I’ve made several friends, traveled to places I’ve never thought I’d ever be at. I’ve accomplished many goals this last few years, but it’s time to grind. A lot of people are scared to get out of the military. I AM NOT. I’m pretty confident that I will accomplish all of my goals. You can chase whatever dreams/ goals you want to. The only question I would like to ask you,
Is how bad do you want it?
