To win the day, win the morning. To win the morning, sleep well at night. To sleep well at night, stop eating in the evening 2-3 hours before bed.

It is far better to be happy with what you have rather than be unhappy about what you don’t.

Body composition is a lag indicator. Keep doing the right things. #weightloss #muscle

Every job I’ve ever had that helped people has never felt like work to me.

We ought to stop lying to our kids, only people who have lived godly lives will live happily ever after. #Truth

What I’m trying to say can’t be said any better than this: “Take the first step in faith, you don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.”—Martin Luther King, Jr. #wisdom #fitfam #fitnessmotivation

[Bruce Coleman @BColemanPhD]

Life is a series of next steps on a stairwell called “Time.” To not climb up is to start sliding down. No one is ever guaranteed to make it to the top, but that doesn’t matter. What is important is that you���ve chosen the right stairway to climb. #wisdom #fitfam #fitnessmotivation

The sooner in life you get compound interest working for you instead of against you the better. The sooner you get a long-term goal set in motion, the closer you get to achieving it. #wisdom #fitfam #fitnessmotivation

Today’s minimum: Bodyweight only, full-body stretch, strength and conditioning. Everything kept sub-maximal. Total time was only 40 min from warmup-2-cooldown. Got in the minimum, now I’m out to take care of business. #wisdom #fitfam #bodybuilding #martialarts #fitnessmotivation

Spent a little extra time this morning plugging up some of the holes in my dissertation proposal identified by my professors yesterday. Had to switch my workout to a daily minimum. #wisdom #fitfam #bodybuilding #martialarts #fitnessmotivation

[Bruce Coleman @BColemanPhD]

My workouts have become like a shift on the fly 4X4 capable of handing a wide variety of terrain dictated by time and circumstance. Had to change my workout plan for today. #wisdom #fitfam #bodybuilding #martialarts #fitnessmotivation

[Bruce Coleman @BColemanPhD]

Feeling some soreness in my upper back from yesterday’s workout that I’ve never felt before. I can dig it! Going to ease off the upper body today and do a bodyweight only leg workout. #wisdom #fitfam #bodybuilding #martialarts #fitnessmotivation

You can burn the candle at both ends for awhile, but the symptoms of “middle age” is when the unhealthy ways begin to catch up to us. No one need tell you what your unhealthy ways are, this everybody already knows. #wisdom #fitfam #bodybuilding #martialarts #fitnessmotivation

[Bruce Coleman @BColemanPhD]

You’ve been working out consistently--that’s good, keep it up. Now in addition to working out, look to reduce your unhealthy ways. Good health is the foundation for fitness no matter what the chosen form of exercise. #wisdom #fitfam #bodybuilding #martialarts #fitnessmotivation

[Bruce Coleman @BColemanPhD]

When striving to move forward in life, don’t hold on to the past. Reflect on it, learn from it, then let it go. All old wise people know that hindsight is better, but don’t spend too much time looking behind or you will crash into what is in front of you. #wisdom #fitfam #fitness

[Bruce Coleman @BColemanPhD]

Awesome workout again today. Don’t remember the last time I’ve worked back and delts together. Definitely the first time I’ve felt such a wonderful tightness in all the muscles of my shoulder griddle. #fitfam #bodybuilding #martialarts #fitnessmotivation

[Bruce Coleman @BColemanPhD]

Nevertheless, this morning I’m driving on like a good Airborne Ranger. Going to work the wings and boulders today. That’s chin-ups for the back and dumbbell press to pump the shoulders #bodybuilding style baby! #wisdom #fitfam #fitnessmotivation #martialarts

[Bruce Coleman @BColemanPhD]

I made the mistake of checking my email last night before bed. It’s never a good idea to try to get a good night’s sleep with tomorrow’s business already spun up in your head. #wisdom #fitfam #fitnessmotivation #martialarts #bodybuilding

[Bruce Coleman @BColemanPhD]

Up in the morning way before the rising sun. I get more done before the sun rises these days than I used to get done all day long when I was young. #wisdom #fitfam #fitnessmotivation #martialarts #bodybuilding
