No Excuses

I’m tired.  I’m getting over a cold.  I’m too old.  I’m too fat.  Working out makes me sweat.  It’s too cold.  It’s too hot.  I’m sore.  I don’t have enough time.  I have 2 kids.  My job is too stressful.  The gym is hard.

Ever catch yourself using any of these excuses?  Check out Kyle Maynard, author of the book “No Excuses: The True Story of a Congenital Amputee Who Became a Champion in Wrestling and in Life.

“Dude. Kyle Maynard is a frickin’ stud. Every time I feel sorry for myself I’m going to look at this picture and realize how pathetic I am.”

“Kyle Maynard you just did away with every lame excuss I have ever heard for someone not working out. You are an inspiration. Good luck opening the Crossfit gym, with your drive who can stop you.”

“I should be kicked in the balls for ever complaining about ANYTHING! What a motivation.”

“Kyle….in a world where everyone looks for excuses not to work and train hard, you emerge solidly and a victor and hero.”
