One of the most inspiring videos I have ever seen! You can do anything you want if you put your mind to it! I challenge you to do the things you have put off for fear of failure!! Trust that you can achieve what you set out to accomplish. Trust your very own abilities!!
Hey San Antonio!!
I am excited to say that I am training my first athlete for a production show in Vegas called Le Reve! She is an amazing athlete to begin with but man watching her go through the strength and conditioning program I have for her is even more amazing! Our studio has put together a strength and conditioning room complete with a rope to climb, punching bags, and a bar to hang upside down to do sit ups with and several TRX’s!!
I have her out in that room, which has no air conditioning by the way, to help condition her body for the altitude difference which she will experience in Colorado where the audition is held. She has to go through an incredible battery of exercises and tests which are to climb a 10 foot rope using her arms only (legs in pike position as she climbs up and down the rope, in a controlled arm over arm climb and then ascend), 45 seconds of non stop burpees, hold plank on the exercise ball with her feet on the ball both in the push up position and with her calves towards the ground and belly up, hands behind her, then do the same but a side plank!! She also has to perform 14 pushups 4 ” from the ground, weighted squats with 20% of her total body weight (20 in 30 seconds), Horizontal jump squat which she needs to clear 4 ft…she can do 7!!… hanging ab crunch, hamstring stretch, swimming test, and a choreography test…all in one day!!
Needless to say even when shes tired she gives it her all and I am so proud to be helping her reach her goals! I look forward to marketing nationally to help those in need of strength and conditioning training for these types of shows!
I will keep you updated on her progress and soon get a video of her going through the actual test and pictures of the new part of the studio!!!
Have a great day San Antonio!

I am always looking for inspiring articles and words of wisdom. I recently stumbled across this, and thought it was extremely worthwhile to share.
I Promise Myself
By Christian D. Larson
To be so strong that nothing can disturb my peace of mind.
To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person I meet.
To make all my friends feel that there is something worthwhile in them.
To look at the sunny side of everything and make my optimism come true.
To think only of the best, to work only for the best and to expect only the best.
To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as I am about my own.
To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.
To wear a cheerful expression at all times and give a smile to every living creature I meet.
To give so much time to improving myself that I have no time to criticize others.
To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.
To think well of myself and to proclaim this fact to the world, not in loud words, but in great deeds.
To live in the faith that the whole world is on my side, so long as I am true to the best that is in me.
