FAB FIVE

Mentality

“For as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.”

Proverbs 23:7

As you embark on your journey of self-improvement, it's important to set numerous goals. While it's inevitable that some may not be achieved, it's often due to a belief that the goal is unattainable or a lack of strong determination. Adopting the mentality that views all goals as important and urgent can significantly increase the likelihood of accomplishing them all. Treat your goals as emergencies and watch how this approach transforms your ability to achieve them.

GOALS

Setting goals can be complicated. Goals are often set because they sound good. To achieve success, it is crucial to choose a goal that is both achievable and challenging. You may opt for a shorter timeline for your goal or establish small, achievable goals along the way rather than concentrating on one ambitious goal. Goals also play a crucial role in keeping you focused and on track. The feeling of satisfaction, when you accomplish those goals, is immeasurable!

 NUTRITION

Nutrition is a crucial component in achieving success on this journey. Your diet plays a significant role in determining the rate of your progress. The body's functioning and flow as a system are heavily influenced by nutrition.

There are 24 hours in a day, but if you subtract 8 hours for sleep and 1 hour for fitness training, you are left with 15 hours to use for other activities.

Your success or failure hinges on those 15 hours. Remember that it's not just about what you eat but how well you digest it.

 TRAINING

The training phase is where we can mentally and physically challenge ourselves to push our limits. It's an exciting part of the process that I like to refer to as "The Hurt So Good" section. Although it may get tough at times, the satisfaction of completing a session is immense. You can say, "I am proud of myself for meeting the challenge and giving my best effort to crush it!" This phase is also the most beneficial of the FAB 5, where Mindset, Goals, Nutrition, and Recovery play a vital role in achieving our objectives.

RECOVERY

The importance of proper recovery is often overlooked and undervalued. One crucial aspect of recovery is getting enough sleep to allow the central nervous system and muscles to reboot and prepare for the next day or session. In addition to sleep, there are other effective methods of aiding recovery, such as stretching, massages, hot/cold tubs, and cryotherapy.
