The Territorian Tyrant...

Sprinting & YELLING on top of my lungs with blood, sweat & tears dripping through my pores (well maybe not blood and tears) but I bet if I saw myself jogging, I’ll hate myself cause I can be a nuisance… and there are reasons.

Been weight-training for a while & I figured weight-trainers tend to SCREAM-OUT loud to push that one last rep or ‘push’ (my noise being d greatest in order to look like a pro ;)

Why does this work? Simple; the energy released when you yell makes you feel like you doing something impressive  and secondly, the brain is like a Super-Computer which for some reason is normally programmed with fear cause of past defeats (and ignores victories except through conscious effort).

For some little biology, the brain’s got charged cells known as NEURONS & though no one knows what a piece of info looks like in d brain, science shows its connected to d electric-charges in d neurons; Billions of neurons, which are connected by DENDRITES reinforce information…… This means the more you prop yourself, the more connections you make and confidence is built.

So back to jogging…. I read up stuff about it cause I had difficulties starting and the knowledge helped to a point. However, I had to apply the same kind of SHOUTS similar to that during weight-training order to hit my target and it worked!!!

I’ve got a lot of examples and my National Stadium, Surulere – CMS Bus-Stop trial was achieved by the same process covering 7km in 45 min (this particular day was for Environmental Sanitation). Now this might not seem like much but for a chap who was tagged asthmatic as a kid, that is a big deal. 

Personality type might make u think people are staring at you in the gym or while you are jogging; YEP!  I figured they will but ‘WHO CARES’. Who cares what peeps think; what peeps think has not really solved a thing but caused CHAOS. Peeps look @ me but I get the results.

Focus on what you wanna achieve & yell it out so your whole mental faculty & being accepts it but ensure you gauge where you are and consider incremental progression (I won’t run from Lagos to Kaduna just yet, but considering Lekki to Ikorodu, Lagos).

For Starters’ (Territory Cry-Outs).

·         Strength is the Product of Struggle… This is smaller than you… (Your name).

·         [Push on ………………… (your name)] *4, then breathe and repeat

·         [Push (breathe-out 1,2)….. Push on]*2

·         Yell-Out in celebration and jump, clap and nod ur head like u just hit d jackpot cause u just did.

*Consider Military/Epic Movie soundtracks while working-out…… AWESOME!!!

Holla at me and let me know your thoughts….

Don’t do what I won’t do,
