 Friends, I’m inviting you to time travel with me, time travel back to your childhood, can you remember long summer days running around with your friends outside having fun playing games, being adventurous?  

 My summer days we’re filled with pick-up games of baseball until dinner and then kick the can or tag football in the street until dark with the kids from the neighborhood.  Can you remember how much fun you had running around laughing, can you recall how much energy you had?   

 Let me bring you back to the present moment.  How do you feel about your current physical training program if you have one?  Do you look forward to every session?  Do you bring a high level of enthusiasm and excitement into the gym? 

 What if you could recapture that excitement, enthusiasm and sense of adventure you had as a kid, that level of seemingly boundless energy?
