Nikia Dyson's Complete Workout Program
Instead of looking at training as another daily task, I look at it as a new challenge and opportunity to push myself harder each day. Although training is intense, there is a sense of peace that comes with working out, and it has helped me to become more disciplined.
When I get in the gym I focus on training hard and executing each move to the best of my ability without underestimating myself. I need to train smart with intensity and push myself as hard as I can each day, because once it's done there is no "should have, could have, would have."
When I walk through those doors, I will leave knowing I gave my all and that it was my best!
