Having stayed in shape for over 20 years, but made so many mistakes along the way, I stand by the below…
Pain will get you started but without pleasure in the process, the goal you first imagined, will never feel as good when you get there.
And unless it’s your job (eg. Bodybuilder) – without enjoyment in how you train & the foods you eat, you will never stay in shape afterwards.
Trying to achieve record lows with your weight or body fat that you’ve never hit before, isn’t easy.
Trying to then stay there is even harder.
Any coach who says otherwise is full of shit.
Especially the longer you have been out shape, and living lean doesn’t feel natural right now within your identity.
But it doesn’t have to be torture.
What makes it harder is if you are bored with the way you train, and not eating the foods that give you more food per calorie or lift your energy.
Being in an environment that supports your goals is essential too.
My Built To Last programme takes care of all of this and is built on 100% honesty with every point of communication.
I continually ask clients to demand more from themselves, doing what’s required to progress but plan rewards along the way too.
Think about other key areas in life you’re successful & happy?
Whether it’s your businesses, relationships or children…they all require work, time and enjoyment, in and with them for sustained growth and happiness.
Whether it’s these or your abs, when it’s all said and one, it’s never about what you get that matters.
Its the day to day love for the process that helps you become a better person – that helps give the best of you to others, where the winning is really made.You can tell yourself a hundred reasons why you can’t work out, get fit or lose weight. Or just accept that you are where you are, you put yourself there & its your job to get yourself out of it.
