REST DAY!!!!

"The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy"- Martin Luther King Jr.


It is easy to settle for what you know and what has become routine. Going through the daily grind, being okay with eating the number 5 from Mickey D's because is is convenient, just getting through a workout because it is not comfortable to push harder and get outside that comfort zone and dominate a workout. I challenge you to push beyond the pain become uncomfortable, buck the convenience of fast food. If you can't control how your respond to a challenging workout or control what you put in your mouth are you really in control? Be in charge of your daily routine as Steve says "PUT A STAMP ON IT". Take life by the horns and hold on for the ride because LIFE IS GREAT!!!!!

Do you workout...or do you train

Today was a much needed rest day. We will be back hard at work tomorrow.


I was talking with a couple of friends today and they were asking what the difference between VSC and other gyms were. Instead of going into some in depth comparison of gyms I simply told them that we don't work out at VSC we train. At first they looked at me kind of confused and said athletes train, people work out then I explained the difference between "training" and "working out." We train at VSC and everyone is an athlete. So the question is do you train or do you simply work out.

Here is an article to help you decide.
