Two-thirds single track and one-third jeep trail, this trail can be run in two directions to vary the experi- ence. It starts at an elevation of around 1900 feet and steadily rises 800 feet before gently descending back down over somewhat undu- lating terrain. You will see Four Peaks, the Rim, Weaver’s Needle and the Superstitions. GETTING TO THE TRAILHEAD Head east on Shea Blvd. and turn north into Fountain Hills, exiting the back side for about 4 miles until you come to the McDowell Mountain Regional Park entrance. There’s a $6 fee per vehicle. Take the Pemberton loop turnoff and park near restrooms at the bottom. The trailhead is located at the north end of the parking lot.

Last year I wrote about the 72% of people who make New Year’s Resolutions that give up within the Ű rst 6 months of the year and the 40% who don’t even make it through the Ű rst four weeks. If you are astounded by those numbers take a moment and look at your circle of in ű uence. What is a circle of in ű uence? It is the 5 people you spend the most amount of time with on a regular basis. Why is this important? Studies show that you are exactly in the middle of those 5 people. What does that mean? • 2 friends will be smarter than you and 2 will not. • 2 will make more money and 2 will make less. • 2 will be more Ű t than you and 2 will be less Ű t. • 2 will have more motivation and 2 will have less. Get it? The people you spend the most time with are crucial to the success you have in your career, relationships and even your health. This begs the question… who do you spend your time with? Is it with healthy, Ű t and motivated people or do you spend time with people who blame others for their problems and complain about their lives? It makes sense if you have struggled with fat loss, your circle of in ű uence has too. If you’ve struggled with your job and making more money, odds are so have they. If you think long and hard you can see that your immediate friends and family can either be part of your problem or your solution. If you want to be successful you better surround yourself with like minded people. So this New Year’s when you are determined to become a more resolute individual, what will you think about? I will tell you my secret weapon in a minute but for now try this list: • How will my exercise habits change from last year? • What changes will I make in my eating? • Can I make adjustments to how I spend my free time? • What are the top 5 things I will accomplish in 2013? What is OUR Secret Weapon? This year don’t commit to anything but the number of workouts performed for the year. There are 365 days. How many days will I work out? If you commit to 3x a week that’s only 156 workouts. Reasonable right? Most of you know you need help from a Pro so this year work with the Pros who get Results for their clients. Call 602.944.0747. or email us at www.ResultsOnly.com to guarantee your success this year. Listen to what our clients say about our program... As a Podiatrist /Surgeon in Central Phoenix I found myself working long hours in my practice and on my feet doing surgeries for hours on end. That lead to very unhealthy eating habits and little time for exercise. Bobby was a coach for both my sons and I saw what a great in ƃ uence he was on them, so I thought I’d try Results Only and I am glad I did. I have completely changed my physical life around. I have lost 33 lbs. and have gone from a size 36 to a 30! I was going through my closet recently and came across an old jacket. I once completely Ƃ lled it out! Today I am so much happier to be more Ƃ t as a surgeon and a healthier role model to my children and patients. ~ Steve Geller www.desertfootsurgeons.com RESULTS R 7030 N. 7th Street, Phoenix, AZ 85253 tel:602.944.0747 3627 E.
