#1 It’s ok to start slow! You’ll be moving fast soon enough!!

Much of what you do will not feel natural at first. Many MMA players make the mistake of not learning a conditioning move the right way or even mastering it first. They try and tackle a million exciting workout moves without ever mastering the moves. So start slow and learn the details properly! Maybe only do it a couple times at first. add a rep each day.. Your body will adjust and catch up with the rest!

#3 Start with boring routine, than build excitement on top of that..It’s all too common! We watch the UFC training clips than assume that you become a champion physique by flipping tires. No! I had to learn that the tires (or creative workouts) are the icing to the cake. They already have a solid fitness foundation. The tire flipping just gets the camera time! Those fighters still rely on routines like stretching, pull ups, push ups, running.. That’s there foundation. Ya know, all the boring stuff!

#4 Don’t compare yourself to others!!

If your a very competitive person, this might drive you some but be Leary of this way of thinking if it’s not benefiting you. You can still compete with others while really just focusing on your own improvement. How? You compete by focusing on you, not them. When you focus on your inner health, commitment, intelligence and work ethic you will do better than worrying about all the rest. Then later you can really shake the ego maniacs up with your ability!
