etting results from our efforts both in and out of
the gym provides the motivation to keep pushing
harder each and every day. We are typically all
fuelled by what we see in the mirror, a reflection
of our knowledge on training, nutrition and how to join the
dots to deliver results. The funny thing about this industry
is why so many trainees continue to do the same old
routine and the same old diet if it produces no visible
transformation! This has puzzled me for many years and I
still find it hard to comprehend why those that don’t
witness any physical change still continue to repeat the
same old plan producing the same old result.
In fact I often see the frustration on the faces of those that
choose this path to nothingness. I feel like stopping them
in their tracks and offering some sense of direction, but
if I were to do that with every person I saw in the gym I
would never get time to get my workout done.
I hate to see people spin their wheels, it frustrates me
probably more than it appears to frustrate them!
No wonder there is such a huge drop off rate in
gymnasiums, the cause is a massive overdose of sheer
frustration.
You would think logic prevails in a situation like this. For
example if you were running a business for 6 months and
it produced zero income, could you afford to keep running
that business! I doubt it, well not before the debt would
eat you up. Unfortunately the same rules do not apply in
the fitness industry. You can in fact just keep repeating the
same mistakes over and over until you get too old to even
make it to the gym. This is one of the key reasons why its
so important to always monitor your progress to ensure
you are on a continual path to improvement. One of the
easiest ways to do this is just take a good look in the
mirror and ask yourself “have I changed in the last
month”? If the answer is no, you have to take a serious
look at either your nutrition plan or training program.
My philosophy is..if its broken fix it! If its not, make it
better or improve on it. Success was never achieved by
aiming to be mediocre or settling for being average. You
have to aim higher than what you ever thought you could
possibly achieve and even if you miss the mark at least
you have lifted the bar to new levels.
No doubt everyone has a different idea of what hard
training means. Plus everyone has different goals when
they step foot in a gymnasium. However, I think and I may
be wrong but most people join a gym because they want
to change the shape of their body in one way or another.
Correct me if I am wrong, but I train for results...not for
fun. If the results stop, I don’t place this in the fun
category at all! I can certainly think of plenty more fun
things to do other than a hard squat workout.
The fun only sets in when the person looking back at you
in the mirror looks like a different person. An improved
version of yourself, with more muscle, less fat, great abs...
now that’s the fun part. Results are what make the entire
process of working out and following a diet all worth while.
A simple analogy, would you go to work and not get paid?
Would that be fun! I think not. So why go to the gym and
spend hours busting your chops for no return on your
investment, it makes no sense.
You need to continually evaluate your journey, where you
are going and where you want to be at any given time.
In all reality if you have been hitting the gym hard for 3-4 weeks and see zero results you are doing something
wrong. Either your diet is up the creek or you’re not
training hard enough. Don’t look for some complicated
reason why you are at a stand still and everyone else is
changing around you. I see and hear this all the time,
those that make excuses or say so and so must be on
drugs because you can’t change that fast. The truth is if
you believe that you are probably a lost cause because
there is a lot more to getting results than drugs.
Excuses are easy, so never make excuses always look for
solutions to your problems. My goal is to help as many
people realize their true potential that is often untapped in
many instances. I have a passion for this industry
otherwise I would not be here today typing this very
message you are reading at this moment in time. I want to
see you get the results you deserve. I want to see
everyone that enters a gym transform their body for the
better.
There is no rocket science or smoke and mirrors behind
getting results. You need a good solid training program
that you work hard at each and every week. Combine this
with a balanced nutrition plan to fuel your efforts in the
gym and just apply these two protocols in a consistent
manner.
Most importantly, make sure you continually monitor
your progress. If nothing is happening in the mirror after
3-4 weeks you need to assess your strategy and make
changes. Seek the advice of professionals that have had
many years of experience in the industry. There is no time
for spinning your wheels in the gym on the same old plan
if it’s not producing the results that you are seeking.
Treat your training and dietary efforts as an investment
property. Your body is your most valuable real estate in the
world and you should be getting a return on your
investment.
Remember, constantly evaluate your progress and never
get complacent with your training or diet. We all have the
power of change within us, it’s just a matter of harnessing
that power and using it to its maximum potential.
