Mahler's Monday Morning Motivator # 50 - Looking for Spring

Mahler’s Monday Morning Motivator # 50

Good morning, guys,
This week will be my final week of Book of Muscle – Advanced. I will be looking for a new program to start after my rest week next week.
The Book of Muscle has been a great experience and kudos to Lou Schuler and Ian King for an excellent trip through muscle-land. Once again, I got in some Snow Shovel Cardio over the weekend. I am seriously looking forward to spring. And, yet I am quite confident that Punxatawney Phil will predict 6 more weeks of winter weather. Talk about initiative. Those folks in Punxatawney, Pa. have parlayed a sleeping rat into a major event.

Now that we are a month away from the New Year, I hope that all of you have held to those resolutions, goals, targets, or whatever you choose to call them. Remember that a target is pretty hard to hit if you lose sight of it. In spite of the sleeping rat, spring is closer than you think and you don’t want to get caught unprepared with your shirt off some day.

For this morning, I thought I would pull out the old quotation file and send a few your way. Enjoy.

If winter is upon us, can spring be far behind?
Have a great week.
