A Chain is as Only as Strong as it's Weakest Link
Here's an analogy for ya:
For a chain to be strong, all of its links must be.
For an athlete to be strong and powerful, all of its links must be.
If even one component to your athleticism is weak, you will not be as strong of an athlete that you want to be!
Example: You can hit the ball far but you are a slow runner.
Solution: Develop your running mechanics and increase your total body strength.
"Life is full of experiences, which ones will you tell your children about?

I've heard them all...
"LOOKS LIKE RAIN." **Hey, it will cool you off!
"I HAVE NO TIME." **You sure must be wasting a lot of it!
"I PACK MY GYM BAG AND THEN THE OFFICE COMES ON." **Get TiVo!
"I NEED MY SLEEP." **Then go to bed earlier, or take a nap!
"I DON'T WANT TO SPEND $__ A MONTH ON A GYM MEMBERSHIP." **Save $900 a year by switching from cafe' mocha to metabolism-boosting green tea when you stop at Starbucks every morning or switch to 1 snack wrap instead of a "meal deal" at McDonalds!
"MY GYM SUCKS." **then get a new one that helps motivate you!
"I'M BORED WITH MY WORKOUT." **Then get a trainer!
"I NEVER SEE RESULTS." **Switch trainers or actually get one!
"I HAVE NO ENERGY." **Energy = Food, so eat the right energy!
"I'M JUST MAKING SURE MY BODY IS GETTING ENOUGH REST." **More than 48hours is flirting with laziness!
"I ALWAYS GET HURT." **Get a new trainer!
"MY ELBOWS/SHINS/PINKIE TOES HURT." **No Pain, No Gain!
"I DON'T WANT TO LOOK STUPID TRYING TO USE THOSE MACHINES." **Then use something else or realize that working out is about the sweat, not good looks Hollywood!
"MY BUDDY CAN'T MAKE IT TONIGHT." **One word... Discipline!
NO MORE EXCUSES!!!
Hold yourself accountable for the workouts you miss!
