Anthony Morgan from Team Fit Factory has done tremendous things in the past two years. Going from 212 pounds to the number 1 ranked fighter in the 145 division is NO small feat. Anthony Won and defended the TN state 145 title earning the shot at the South Eastern Regional Strap Friday Jan 13th at 3FC.
His Opponent was extremely game 155 TN state Champion Nate Landwehr. This fight was EPIC going all five rounds with Anthony coming out with a razor thin split decision! We can’t express how proud we are of you and all your dedication to your goals! Keep it up brother -Coach

Well, It’s that time again! Christmas is here and that means the new years resolutions are not far behind. Not that I am against making a resolution but it has to have a plan of action. Much like building a business, building a house or simply passing a test. You must have an idea of how your will achieve the desired result! Simply waiting on this “Magical Day” to arrive and hope that you wake up with enough will power to change your life is NOT the best laid plan of attack. As the old saying goes “failing to prepare is preparing to fail”. It’s that simple.
So here we are faced with all the temptation of Christmas Parties, Cookies laying around, hectic schedules and so on. Are you going to ramp up your negative energy by eating with reckless abandon and do zero exercise until the first of January get’s here? Let me ask you this. If you were in debt, would it make sense to go out and max out 5 credit cards without a clue as to how you will pay them off? Of course not! That would be a horrible idea and only make the existing debt you have seem like a pleasant memory. Well, if you don’t like how you look and feel now. How are you going to feel when you stuff your face full of garbage the next week and gain another 5 – 10 pounds?! I’m not trying to be harsh but sometimes that’s the way it needs to be delivered!
Am I saying that you shouldn’t enjoy your time with family and friends. No, Of course I’m not! Am I saying that you shouldn’t indulge in some of the foods you love around the holiday season? Not at all because I plan to! What I am saying is that in order to get your paycheck, it’s necessary to earn it! You don’t get paid to sit on the couch eating bon bon’s watching the Food Network do you? NO! You get up in the morning and go make the donuts in order to earn your keep. The things you earn will always be much more valuable then the things given. Look at anyone who has ever won a million dollar lottery. You will not find one story that it has not changed their lives for the worst! There is no value. Now, if you got up everyday and became a self made millionaire then you would have a different perspective on your self worth and the things you have sacrificed to attain. It’s a simple concept but for some reason it doesn’t sink in to most people in this day and age.
Back to the original topic or resolutions. In my opinion resolutions are basically just a warm fuzzy feeling you get when you fill your head full of delusional ideas. You know good and well the chances of you losing 100 pounds in 2012 isn’t just going to happen because of one day of miraculous self discipline!That being said, if you start NOW you might just have a chance. Set up a goal for each day till January 1st! You can start to get a positive pattern established that will build powerful momentum in a very short time! We all fight with the voice in our head that doesn’t want true change. Every time you beat that voice you will become much stronger mentally. This mental strength is more or less called discipline and we all have some but forget it’s there. Discipline is like any other muscle, it has to be trained!
So what do i suggest? After 15 years as a personal trainer and coach. I have no problems calling myself and expert at what I do. I have developed numerous martial arts champions, helped countless people get off of enough medicines that would kill a small village of donkeys and lost enough weight in this area to sink a battle ship! I’m not trying to be funny..it’s an absolute fact. What I am saying is that I have “been there and done that” with every possible type of person, age and fitness level you can imagine. So with that being said I can tell you something that is nothing less than a miracle piece of advice. Get a NOTEPAD and PEN! There it is folks. The real trick to success isn’t a trainer, a trendy workout DVD that will be a coffee coaster in months, or a diet plan that allows you to have 3 pieces of ice a day. It’s about using your brain and making a sensible, honest and realistic approach to achieving your resolution. Keeping a journal has proven time and time again to be the best way to achieve success. I’m not talking about an app on your cell phone that calculates the square root of sugar in a snickers bar. The power of taking time to write down what you plan to do is extremely powerful and will hold you accountable!
Let’s say you wish to start working out with the goal of losing 40 pounds. Let’s start a journal of how we will achieve that goal while not over doing it right of the bat. Tomorrow should consist of a short exercise routine of 10-20 minutes. Nothing crazy or intense. Something that makes you realize that you still have a heart in your chest and that you won’t melt away if you break a sweat. Then build off that workout. The next day should focus on the same workout scheme as well as making a great choice for dinner. The third day should be to keep the same training schedule but now you make a great choice for lunch and dinner. Are you starting to get an idea of what I am talking about? Within seven days you should have went from the couch to following a decent workout plan as well as eating sensibly. Baby steps are very important when it comes to long term success. I like to use something I learned about 12 years ago and use till this day. The Japanese use something called the “Kaizen Way” when building business, athletes or anything else that is to be successful. Kaizen simply means “constant and never ending improvement” Or the way of always improving to keep it simple. Where we as Americans want things to change overnight, The Kaizen principle changes things over time! And more often than not, it’s a permanent change that is unshakable. Give it a shot!

I was heartbroken to hear of a family in our area that recently lost their homes to a fire. This family was not only left with no belongings but worse.. a sense of hopelessness this Christmas. I was fortunate enough to have the support and generosity of our community and along side fellow Martial Artist Dustin Walden, Scott Holtzman and Nate Jolly this past Saturday December 17th! These men and myself conducted a four hour training seminar free of charge to those that donated to the list of family needs.
I am happy to say that the support was OVERWHELMING! We not only raised a dump truck load of donations but also a sense of giving that is very powerful. It’s easy to overlook our blessings in this day and age. We all stay very busy and this is especially true during the Holidays.
I want to send a personal THANK YOU to all that stepped up to give these children a great Christmas and hopefully some sort of peace to this family during a trying time.
God Bless all of you and Merry Christmas!
