Apply yourself at whatever you do, whether you\u2019re a janitor or taking your first job, because that work ethic will be reflected in everything you do in life.\u201d<\/em>&nbsp;Tyler Perry<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Couldn\u2019t we apply this to health in general?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just because 2 people work out the same length of time each day, do they get the same results?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If 2 people ate the same thing for 30 days, would they look the same?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If I go to the gym 6 consecutive days, but someone else goes 3 consecutive days 2 times a day, would their results be the same?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These questions have no right or wrong answer because we are all different people with different goals. The question you should be asking yourself is&nbsp;<strong>AM I DOING ENOUGH?<\/strong>&nbsp;Are you working and striving to meet your potential in the gym, at the dinner table, or at your job?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s not about being perfect. It\u2019s about your effort. When you bring your effort every single day, that is where transformation happens. That is how you change my friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Think of these 6 criteria for exceptional work ethic in the gym (or in life in general):<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Do you care?<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Are you doing what you said you would do?<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Are you focused?<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Have you taken the initiative?<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Are your goals attainable?<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Do you have a timeline?<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>People, stop wasting your time being \u201cthat\u201d person in the conversation that is saying, \u201cWell, if I\u2019d get back in the gym\u2026\u201d or \u201cI just gave up because I didn\u2019t see results (with a cookie in your hand).\u201d Or \u201care you a trainer? I need to call you.\u201d My phone works. If not me, then call someone else that can get your butt to the gym. I just want you all to find what moves you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Think of your job for a second, do you give that your all? Do you show up late? Is your lunch break longer than others?&nbsp;&nbsp; Did you speak to those around you? Are you cordial? Did you do something extra for someone else? Do you even care you have a job?&nbsp;&nbsp; The work ethic that you put forth towards your job flows right over to your health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make a difference in your own life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><em>\u201cBe humble.
