Knowledge Is Power When Applied

You're a beginner. You come into this world knowing nothing, but have the *necessary tool* to learn what you will need for life. Power; comes from the ability to learn, know & apply it to your life. When you begin something new, you have to be willing to apply everything it takes for you to focus and learn about whatever it may be. When you decide to do it, you will be equipped with the knowledge of how to do it and in turn create the results you are looking for.

We all desire to learn new things whether its sitting in a classroom, reading a book, watching a documentary, hearing a true story.......whatever it may be, the knowledge we gain from these things gives us the ability to apply what we need to accomplish whatever goals we have. When we use the knowledge, that is when the power comes into play. It works either for or against us depending on how we decide to use what we have gained. Learning only part of something creates chaos and inevitably ruins what you set out to do. Be careful in researching everything before you decide to apply something to your life.

My profession is to help people become healthy & fit using the knowledge I have gained over the years from having first hand experience with losses & gains and working with credible people. I have faltered and reached goals many many times because I didn't take the initiative to learn everything as a whole to begin with, and instead had to take losses on what I was trying to accomplish before I came to the realization that there was and ALWAYS IS more to be learned so I may benefit from what I am doing. Taking the fundamentals of exercise, nutrition, hydration, supplementation, rest, injuries, stretching & more are just SOME of the ingredients to becoming as healthy & fit as I possibly can. Not only for myself but if I am to help others, I need to inform them as well on what it is that needs to be done.

Every one's body composition is different. We need different foods, different supplements, certain amounts of water, rest, etc. Not one person has the same DNA or "Make Up" as another, even if you have a twin. Some people can strength train more than others & some can't. For some it causes more bulkiness & for others it helps lean them out and get the muscle definition they need. When it comes to cardio, not everyone loves it, some do. Cardio is important to any one person's workout regimen no matter how bad we may dread it. Everything fits as puzzle pieces in order to aid in our physical & mental growth. Nutrition is different for everyone because some people need thousands of calories due to being intense athletes & others not so much because of sedentary lifestyle choices. 

What we consume depicts what we will look like on the outside as well as inside. The very very first thing I tell people is "FITNESS BEGINS ON THE INSIDE." Period. No questions asked. If you do not fuel your body the correct way, & you are hitting drive thru after drive thru, it will reflect not only on the outside, but on the inside as well. Which in turn gives your doctor information about how you are really treating your body. If you want to be fit, inside and out, paying attention to the foods you eat and the liquids you drink play a crucial role everyday. Take the initiative to learn the difference between clean & dirty foods. Notice what the nutrition labels are telling you when you purchase something. The front of the item can be made to catch your eye & make you think what you are getting is great. Turn it around, read & learn.  

The point of this blog is to give you insight about why knowledge is power when its applied. You can have all the knowledge in the world, but if you don't apply it, what good does it do for you or anyone else? Whatever it takes, learn everything you can & keep learning. Its the only way we can grow both mentally & physically.
