I've heard more times than you can imagine,
'I want to lose weight'
'I want to feel healthy'
'I want to be happier'
That's awesome. But why?
People who give me this answer very rarely discover their true potential or unlock their innerself.
It's easy to want. It's even eaiser to be vague. Who enjoys getting emotional anyway? When was the last time you cried? I know this sounds crazy but when was the last time you were so fed up with something so meanginful in your life that you literally broke down and cried?
I bet after you picked yourself back up you discovered something about yourself. Maybe you were stronger than you thought previously.
Maybe you became a better parent afterwards.
Maybe you began treating your lover better.
Maybe you started working a little harder and earned yourself a raise which resulted in the family or house you have today.
I'm not trying to be mean but you have to feel something inside of you to LITERALLY CHANGE.
I can't do it for you. I can help you cry ;) but I can't stand over your shoulder checking out your move, every meal, every rep and make sure you're adhering and living up to your responsibility with your fat loss program.
If I did I guarantee you'd find crazy success as they do in the Biggest Loser tv show. But that is not the real world. Not for 98% of us. Heck I have to watch over my own shoulder every second of the day.
You think just because I'm a fitness professional that I wouldn't rather grab my inner circle of family and friends, a towel, some alcohol, steaks and firewood and head to the beach and hang out all day partying? I'm 29. I love the beach. I love the people in my life. I love the sun.
But that's not the real world Peter Pan. I have to adhere just like each and every one of you. But with the added pressure that if I don't have a six-pack, excellent strength, athletic ability and an open-mind that no matter what age I'll just be seen as a guy who knows something about fitness. I have to be my best to stay at the level I've achieved and to continue accelerating in my industry and field. I'll fight to the bone to hold onto my accomplishments. I achieved them.
Are you doing all you can to accomplish your goals?
What have you eaten today?
Was a muffin, donut, ice cream, sub, fast food salad or candy mixed in?
Be honest.
How often have you trained today?
Did you go for a walk and consider that your cardio? If you think walking fast/power walking/slow jogging is going to give you REAL fat loss I've got a storage bin full of Beta and VHS tapes I'd like to sell you!
And only the good stuff 'Buns of Steel' 'Richard Simmons' and every video that comes with a stupid-ass Ab product. PLEASE DO NOT BUY ANYTHING OFF THOSE INFOMERCIALS.
Save your money, do some jump squats, eat some broccoli and apples, sprint in your backyard. It may cost you your time and $1 a day but it'll give you guaranteed results. Those people don't lose weight doing crunches. Why is our nation so naive??
So what have you really done and where do you want to go?
You want to lose 10% bodyfat in the next 12 weeks.
That sounds precise to me. Much more attainbale than 'I want to lose weight'.
You want to fit in a size 4 bikini by August for a wedding that you're going away for or your vacation to Florida or Myrtle Beach?
You want to compete in a triathlon coming up in August and need to improve your swimming stamina through leg, core and external rotator strength the next 9 weeks. Sounds better than 'I want to be healthier'.
See what I mean.
Find something that means something to you and turn that fire into YOUR MOTIVATION.
I promise, once you discover your INNER motivator/motivation, your success will skyrocket like a bazooka blasting out a missile of physical, spiritual, meditational and therapeutic wealth.
But you have to discover WHY first.
Then take action.
Simple formula.
But are you dedicated to your mission???
How bad do you truly want it?
