Derek Taylor, President and Owner OPT Fitness

On Tuesday, I had the pleasure of interviewing Derek Taylor, owner of OPT (Optimum Performance Training) in Acworth, Georgia.
If you don’t know who he is, believe me, you will and soon! He’s the new face of personal training who’s been making the rounds on BET and BRAVO TV. So far, he has appeared on BET’s Tiny and Toya and also an upcoming episode of BET’s The Deal , Best of all, he is also appearing as the personal trainer for one of the stars of The Real Housewives of Atlanta. Join me as I look find out his secrets for getting people in the best shape of their lives and becoming THE trainer to the stars. And best of all, I have joined his team and will be offering my bootcamps at his new facility in Acworth Georiga! I am so excited to join this progressive group.

Post your goal. Print out your goal in big words. Make your goal just a few words long, like a mantra (“Exercise 15 mins. Daily”), and post it up on your wall or refrigerator. Post it at home and work. Put it on your computer desktop. You want to have big reminders about your goal, to keep your focus and keep your excitement going. A picture of your goal (like a model with sexy abs, for example) also helps.

Start small. Really small. If you are having a hard time getting started, it may be because you’re thinking too big. If you want to exercise, for example, you may be thinking that you have to do these intense workouts 5 days a week. No — instead, do small, tiny, baby steps. Just do 2 minutes of exercise. I know, that sounds wimpy. But it works. Commit to 2 minutes of exercise for one week. You may want to do more, but just stick to 2 minutes. It’s so easy, you can’t fail. Do it at the same time, every day. Just some crunches, 2 pushups, and some jogging in place. Once you’ve done 2 minutes a day for a week, increase it to 5, and stick with that for a week. In a month, you’ll be doing 15-20. Want to wake up early? Don’t think about waking at 5 a.m. Instead, think about waking 10 minutes earlier for a week. That’s all. Once you’ve done that, wake 10 minutes earlier than that. Baby steps.
