Always try to latch your training efforts on to someone a head of you

When ever you are trying to train to improve yourself, do not make the mistake of trying to compete against someone who is not at or pass the level that you are trying to reach. As a trainer I feel that the best people for me to compete against are my own clients. Its kind of an interesting circle. I try to get my clients to be the best that they can be. Then I try to beat the level that they are at. Make sure that when you go to the gym to train that you are competing against the bigger guy or the more toned girl and not the out of shape people that use the gym as a social club,
