What is a Workout?By former NFL Coach George AllenA workout is 25 percent perspiration and 75 percent determination. Stated another way, it is one part physical exertion and three parts self-discipline. Doing it is easy once you get started.A workout makes you better today than you were yesterday. It strengthens the body, relaxes the mind and toughens the spirit. When you work out regularly, your problems diminish and your confidence grows.A workout is a personal triumph over laziness and procrastination. It is the badge of a winner - the mark of an organized, goal-oriented person who has taken charge of his or her destiny.A workout is a wise use of time and an investment in excellence. It is a way of preparing for life's challenges and proving to yourself that you have what it takes to do what is necessary.A workout is a key that helps unlock the door to opportunity and success. Hidden inside each of us is an extraordinary force. Physical and mental fitness are the triggers that can release it.A workout is a form of rebirth. When you finish a workout, you don't simply feel better, you feel better about yourself.
