And yet, sometimes, it can seem so far from your reach. \u00a0The difference between hope today, and accomplishment tomorrow, is motivation. \u00a0How do you get motivated? \u00a0You lean on your friends at Spartan Race because we\u2019re here to help. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.spartanrace.com\/spartan-obstacle-racing-events.php\">\u00a0Sign up for an event<\/a> with some friends. \u00a0The rest as they say, will become history. \u00a0Yes, it really is that simple, just take the first step. \u00a0The founders of Spartan Race have been doing this for years. \u00a0First, you commit to change with friends and people that support you. \u00a0Next, you start going to bed earlier, waking up earlier, training more, eating healthy. \u00a0You will push and your friends will push harder. \u00a0T.E.A.M. Together, Everyone Achieves More.<\/p>\n<p>Every day, alongside your friends, you will find a drive and motivation the likes of which you have not known. \u00a0You will be inspired every day to stay on track, and when you fall, your friends will be there. \u00a0Peer Pressure, is an amazing training ally. Never underestimate your capacity for accomplishment.<\/p>\n<p>The Atlantic Magazine just reported that, \u201cthe K\u00f6hler effect occurs when weaker individuals, when placed on a team, perform better than they would on their own.\u201d And not just a little bit\u2026up to 200% better. When you strive to match others, you\u2019ll achieve your goals twice as quickly.<\/p>\n<p>How can a Spartan Race help you drink less beer and shrink your waist you ask?<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s simple; we make you commit to sweat. \u00a0Signed up for our<a href=\"http:\/\/www.spartanrace.com\/wod\"> WOD (Workout of the Day)?<\/a> Get signed up and get a daily dose of Spartan training. \u00a0You only have one body and the healthier it is, the better it will reward you and function as a precision tool. \u00a0It is not hard to comprehend that once you remove processed foods out of your diet, start raising your heart rate, and work your lungs, liver etc. you will see dramatic improvements. \u00a0The body will dispel the toxins and reward you for your efforts.<\/p>\n<p>Once you embrace the Spartan lifestyle, the ultimate reward will come from the mind. \u00a0Sounds will never be more audible, thoughts more clear, goals once seeming impossible will be within reach. \u00a0With the proper fuel, you become focused to a level you cannot fathom. \u00a0Functionality will increase and stress will decrease.<\/p>\n<p>We all set resolutions at the beginning of the year. \u00a0And the sad truth is that 70% of New Year\u2019s resolutions will fail. \u00a0Now that\u2019s science, not marketing, but it got your attention didn\u2019t it! \u00a0Want a permanent resolution that will last the whole year? \u00a0How about a Spartan Trifecta? \u00a0\u00a0Finishing a Spartan Sprint, Super and Beast in a Spartan season represents a goal that only a few thousand people have accomplished. \u00a0The Spartan Trifecta medal is a coveted point of pride for everyone from elderly racers, to extreme athletes. \u00a0The common ground for everyone, is commitment.<\/p>\n<p>Need more than a medal?<\/p>\n<p>There are plenty of additional side effects to exercise. You\u2019ll cut your risk of heart disease by 50%, you\u2019ll decrease your risk of cancer by 20%, you\u2019ll strengthen your bones, you\u2019ll increase your problem solving abilities, your ability to concentrate, live 5-10 years longer (on average) and so many other benefits. It is truly a universal panacea for body and mind. And you\u2019ll become part of a community of like-minded individuals who will inspire you to reach for goals previously out of reach.<\/p>\n<p>Need motivation?<\/p>\n<p>It starts with saying what you want aloud, and it might end with a bet\u2026that simple. \u00a0Make a challenge with a co-worker; first one to the finish line of the Spartan Race wins. \u00a0It might give you the extra push that you need. \u00a0Lay it all out and your goal becomes tangible. \u00a0Once everyone knows, you will be constantly reminded and refocused. \u00a0You will be amazed with what you can accomplish.
