Is there a connection between the two happenings?
I believe there is.
There are tons of books on the market that have turned dating and meeting people into a exact science.
Some of them are excellent resources...
Some of them just suck...
In the best ones, the principle of Progression is key in becoming a lady's man/ man's chick.
For example, many people are a bit shy when it comes to meeting someone they find interesting.
That's cool. I think we all feel certain things when we see someone that catches and holds our attention.
Then you have those thoughts or suggestions running around in your mind. They can either cause you to walk over and make a connection...
Or they can cause you to run out of the room, with your armpits drenched in stinky... stinkness.
The good books on dating will lead the reader through a series of exercises that are designed to gradually develop productive habits when it comes to meeting people ie actually walking over to the person and having a actual physical conversation with said person versus...
having an imaginary interaction in which you are rejected out right by your interest.
See the difference?
Being a Personal Trainer, i can't help but notice the connection between becoming more outgoing and exercise progression.
You have to start where we are at.
No one starts out lifting weights reserved for experienced powerlifters ( unless they are natural string and have a high number of fast twitch muscles in the muscle group being used...)
No one starts out being shy and then instantly is walking around with 4 gorgeous woman, one of each of the hottest races, one his arm and attached to different parts of his body...
It takes time, and it takes practice, and it takes repetition to reach that level of comfort with women/men.
You start where you are at, and you PROGRESS from there.
Can you see it now...
We all have our "sticking points" as they call it in a certain circle of people meeters...
The key is to target your own sticking points and find a way to overcome it/them..
Ask yourself:
"How can overcome this sticking point and turn it into a source of power?"
I wonder if you can apply that question to your current exercise routine...
Take Care,

When you know what's TRULY important to you...
Decisions become much, much, much, easier.
I think at a deep level, we all know what we want.
It's just that we tend to verbalize what we DO NOT want.
Case in point: I've left jobs because I just didn't feel right working there.
You know that feeling you get when something just doesn't feel right?
Not, only did it NOT feel right, But it felt bad.
I knew on some deep level of being that you're not supposed to absolutely dread going to a job.
Can you imagine that, having to do something that you absolutely DO NOT look forward, and in fact, you totally dread it and you feel bad inside?
I don't have a complete idea of what my purpose in life is supposed to be yet, but I feel on some deep level that you're not supposed to dread it.
That's just my opinion though.
Do you know what's most important to you in life?
This is very important....
When you become aware of what's deeply important to you, you automatically make the right choices.
Our feelings are here for a reason. Too many times though, we give ourselves the suggestion to "ignore them" or " forget about them".
That works, but for how long?
Don't get me wrong, we can all tolerate certain situations and environments for certain periods of time...
The way I see it is like this: why waste time kicking yourself in the nut when you don't have to?
I think one of THE most important, life changing things that a person can do is:
Sit Down With Pen And Paper.
Write Down What's important to you and Write down the things that make you feel good inside.
You know the difference between a GOOD feeling and a BAD feeling, don't you? This is very important to know as well....
The 5-10 minutes you'll spend doing this will pay you back for THE REST OF YOUR LIFE...
And you find your purpose...
When you find that thing in life that you CAN'T WAIT to wake in the morning and do it...
When you find that thing that ENERGIZES you and you can't stop talking about it...
You'll look back and remember this day as the day when you decided to Discover Your Values.
Do yourself a favor and Discover Your Values Today.
Sincerely,
Amir Campbell

What My 1 year old niece taught me about exercise progression...
I love my niece.
She's curious and very brave.
Recently, she started to take her first steps in the world of walking.
She started off by crawling everyday.
When she developed enough strength, she started to use stationary objects as support, so now she can stand up.
Now, whenever we help her up, she can stand for a certain period of time.
Soon, she'll be walking on her own and I'll be chasing her down....
Now...
What does this have to do with exercise?
