What is Hard Work

From my playing days to my coaching days, the phrase that resonated in my ears or out of my mouth was, “Work hard! Give 100%!” So what is hard work and what is 100% effort? Let’s tackle the words, hard work first. Here are a few definitions of the word, “hard” (not soft; solid and firm to the touch; unyielding to pressure and impenetrable or almost impenetrable. Firmly formed; tight, involving a great deal of effort, energy, or persistence.) Pretty good explanation. Now let’s look at the word “work” (exertion or effort directed to produce or accomplish something, productive or operative activity, the result of exertion, labor, or activity; a deed or performance.) Again, a great explanation. Now that we know what the definition of hard and work is, let’s look at “hard work” A great deal of effort, energy and persistence to accomplish an activity, deed or performance. Now, let’s take a look at 100% effort. First of all, I don’t believe you can give more that 100% effort, although everyone’s 100% is different and your 100% can go to another level, both mentally and physically. Let’s look at effort. (Exertion of physical or mental power, an earnest or strenuous attempt, something done by exertion or hard work, an achievement)
So why do I give all the definitions? Anything worthwhile is worth working hard for. Someone famous said that, don’t know who it is. Is your health and fitness level worth working hard for? YES! We have the reputation of working hard at Pro Performance. There is a reason for this, we do. We increase clients fitness level with our style of training which leads to better health and overall well being. What’s most important though is the effort our clients give us each and every workout. It is amazing! It doesn’t matter if it’s an athlete or former athlete, stay at home mom or a grandmother, they give 100% effort. So why is Pro Performance so different and effective? It’s not just our system of training, it’s our clients and their desire, effort, dedication and hard work that helps them achieve their goals and reach the level of fitness that they have.
