Embrace Optimisim

Why does optimism matter?  Because if your future looks rosy, being happy in the present is easier.  Beyond the simple reality that optimists are happier people (and happiness is what you are striving for), optimism has other benefits as well:


* Optimists enjoy a greater degree of  success than pessimists do, because they believe they can achieve it, therefore they make smart decisions, and work harder to get to it.

* Optimists tend to set more specific goals than pessimists do.  The more specific and concrete your goals are, the more likely you will be to achieve success.  For example, if you need to loose weight, set attainable goals, 2 lbs a week is more achievable and getting there is easier, than a pessimists who needs to loose 50lbs and believes there is no way I can do this in one month.  This is mathematically and physically impossible. 

* Optimists are more self-confident than pessimists are.  They believe in themselves more than fate.  They do not look for the "magic pill".

* Optimists persist and persevere.  They are not quitters!  They schedule their workout routine, they don't leave it to " I will get to it later attitude".


* Optimists welcome second chances after they fail more than pessimists do, because they expect to achieve a better result the second time around. If they miss one or two training sessions, they make sure they make it up ASAP.  If they cheated on dessert, they substitute more healthy foods for the next few outings.


* Optimists cope with stress better than pessimists do.  Pessimists worry, optimists act.  A person with coronary heart disease who is pessimists "hopes for better health".  The optimists heart patient leaves a little to chance and starts an exercise regimen. 


So at the end, being optimist will get you closer to your happiness in life.  And if your health/fitness level stops you from being  happy, join a fitness program that suits you and make sure you consult your physician in advance.

The Power of Multiple Martial Arts!

George Giovanis:
He started boxing at the young age of 12 where he became a member of Rhode Island Boxing.  This east coast gym was the home of legendary five time world champion Vinny Pazienza.  During his many years training, George learned the importance of belonging to a gym environment, acquired the discipline to excel and experience to teach. 
  
As time passed, George’s interests expanded into Kickboxing and Muay Thai.  He devoted many years to these sports and he fought out of the Sampalis Kickboxing Academy where he helped train professional fighters.  In his spare time, George also made three feature films that went on to screen at various film festivals and win many accolades by critics and judges alike.  

He moved to California in search of the sun and the pursuits of all his passions.  He happily works at XTC Gym.  George loves to see his students mature, hour by hour and week by week - while they achieve their own personal fitness goals, and gain the knowledge of personal protection.
