300 Workout - Sparta Challenge

Last Saturday, we did a group workout. It was an intense 17 minute battle. Here are the scores for the workout: Ethan did 328 reps, Dave did 350, Neil did 397, Lou did 311, Juan did 294, I did 383 and Cleaven did 414. Way to go Cleaven in topping the 400 mark!

It does not appear that it's going to get any easier. I think every one is okay with that. Our bodies have changed quite a bit and it's only been 18 days. Pretty amazing.

If you want to try a sample of our workouts, email mandel.joshua@gmail.com or call 908-418-1829 and I'll let you know when our next open workout is.

Have a great day!

300 Workout - Sparta Challenge

I have scores from Friday's workout. It was an intense battle. Lou finished in 23:37, Eric finished in 20:37, I finished in 20:04, Dave finished in 26:49 and Brian finished in 22:13. Ethan finished with a time of 32:15 and Juan go 30:20. Great job guys. This week's workouts are not going to be any easier.

I am so pleased with how everyone is doing. Dave said is stomach has already gone way down. The nutrition plan is simple and can be adopted into your daily lifestyle. It is not a diet or meal plan for only 60 days. The 300 Workout - Sparta Challenge teaches and trains you to break mental and physical barriers that transfer to everything you do in life.

Trust me; when you are done with a lot of these workouts, everything will just seem easy.

Have a great day and keep training hard!

300 Workout - Sparta Challenge

Yesterday was a much needed rest day for many of the 300 Workout Sparta Challenge competitors. A few of us did our Tuesday workout yesterday. That just means we did not take our off day. No problem because we are Sparta Warriors! Today's challenge is one of the toughest workouts. I can't wait to get after it. I will post the scores later today.

Still want in? You'll have to prove you are Sparta Challenge worthy at this point!

Keep It Simple

Let's get right to the point: I am looking for individuals that will do the extraordinary. That will to step out and be a difference maker. That will go the extra mile. That will make 5 more calls or have a meeting even though their favorite tv show is on. That want to provide for their family. That need more time in their life for themselves, their wife or husband and for their kids. I think you get the point.

In network marketing, we have all had people jump on board and talk a big game. How many of those people really did any of the above things? How many really put the effort in? How many of those people are still in your organization? My guess is not many.

It takes a special individual to make this business work. Here's why: We are our own boss, we do not get paid a salary, input=output, no one forces us to make calls, do meetings or 3 way calls. I think you get the point.

Why am I saying all of this? I'm saying this because if you have a tiny twinge deep down in your soul that you can do the extraordinary things, then let's get to work. I will match commitment levels with you. If you want to do meetings every night, let's do it. If you want to do 10 3 way calls a day, let's do it. It's that simple. Just know that the road ahead can and will be tough, but the reward is so huge. More time with family, more vacations, less stress etc.

I'm ready whenever you are...

Have a great day!
