No Middle anymore

Keith Scott — Wed, 29 Jun 2011 19:24:16 +0000

Sometimes in life you have to take a stand…one way or another. You have to pick sides…you have to make a choice and once you do, you have to run with it. There can’t always be a middle. There can’t always be a safe zone. Sometimes you have to take a chance and go for [...]

“I Don’t Know”

Keith Scott — Sun, 19 Jun 2011 22:39:14 +0000

“Mr. Hand: Why are you continuously late for this class, Mr. Spicoli? Why do you shamelessly waste my time like this? Jeff Spicoli: [long pause, but then with complete truth in his answer] I don’t know. Mr. Hand: [Mr. Hand goes to blackboard and writes the words 'I Don't Know', then underlines them] [reciting] Mr. [...]

Things that must change.

Keith Scott — Mon, 28 Mar 2011 23:02:28 +0000

Things that must change People need to measure fat loss success by seeing how their clothes fit, rather then worrying about the scale. People need to fine-tune their macronutrient intake (Carbs, proteins, and fats) as much or more than their physical training sessions. Diet is a HUGE component of success in fitness. Whether it is [...]

Pushing your Physical Limits

Keith Scott — Tue, 28 Sep 2010 15:56:16 +0000

How hard should you push when training? How much can the human body take before it gives out? Are you pushing too hard? Not pushing hard enough? I am old school when it comes to training. Not all of the education in the world means a whole lot when dealing with the human spirit. As [...]

“Monday Motivation” – Self-Destruction

Keith Scott — Mon, 15 Feb 2010 19:02:35 +0000

As a fitness coach, I see a lot of success in the people I work with. Some lose a huge amount of body fat, some gain a bunch of rock hard muscle, others get their cholesterol down, while getting the heart in the best shape ever. Total health improvements, physique improvements, energy levels go way [...]

Emotional Training

Keith Scott — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 12:38:49 +0000

Emotions fuel everything you do. At least that is my belief. Learning to use your emotions in a constructive way can fuel your own fire and help you do things you never thought possible before. In my own life, recognizing that I am angry or sad, or even excited about something can help me covert [...]

Commitment

Keith Scott — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 18:31:47 +0000

Are you committed? The other day, as I was pulling out of the gym where I train, I see a very large, obese man walking to his car. He is carrying a bag with a salad in it from the Salad Works store, which is on the far distant side of the plaza. This man [...]

What’s your inspiration?

Keith Scott — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 23:57:13 +0000

I found mine when I was 10 years old, I think. Every time I hear the music, I drift into a memory of me, in my basement, doing 100s of sit-ups, push-ups and shoulder raises. I would follow those up with 20 minutes of jump roping and then off to hit my speed bag. I [...]

Too much “Unstable” Training

Keith Scott — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 05:00:43 +0000

Unstable training came from the ‘rehab’ zone. Back in the 80′s rehab really took off. Physical therapy was becoming more popular, sports teams were hiring Certified athletic trainers, and sports medicine doctors were popping up on every corner. If you had a physical problem, you went to rehab. Therapy became first-rate and research was being [...]

What’s in your fitness program?

Keith Scott — Mon, 18 May 2009 20:12:19 +0000

Too many times people have asked me to critique their fitness program only to have me rip it apart from top to bottom. I don’t like to be negative, but as a professional, I have to be honest when I see things that are missing or things that should not be there. When programming your [...]
