All of you that are looking to make a change in your life had better believe you can be an action man/woman.
Hiring a Personal Trainer for their time and knowledge is not a magical recipe that will transform you from soggy to ninja. You will also have to understand and totally accept that all the effort is on you.
Without your effort, your concentration and focus it could all be a waste of money, neither you or your Personal Trainer (especially me) wants wasted time in a Personal Training session, or outside of it for that matter.
1) Use Your Head
Make your time in the gym worth the effort, work hard and smart. A random bundling of gimmicky, fad exercises may look cool but be sure they are giving you the results you deserve. Simple and hard is usually more effective.
2) You do it Wrong Right Now
If you are overweight, you need to admit you need a change in your thought processes surrounding food. You eat too much of the wrong type of foods. The sooner you admit that to yourself the sooner you can look and feel awesome. Denying you have your wires crossed will lead you to exactly where you are now. There is no fault at work here, just simply a wrong perspective. You will be hard pushed to get fat on meat, fish, fruit, vegetables, nuts and seeds with some grain products prepared in natural and healthy ways.
3) Crash Diet - Ever Seen a Productive Crash?
A crash diet will yield messy results, you will need to reprogramme the way you think of food to look and truly feel better about being you.
4) Most People Only Burn 500 Calories Per Hour Maximum In The Gym - 1lb Fat = 3500 Calories!
Exercise as a method of calorie burning is short term and ultimately futile.
5) Find Your True Internal Motivation
Ask yourself why you really want to change your body. Is it for health reasons, vanity, self esteem or self confidence, to please another person perhaps. What ever your reason and driving force, be sure that it is important to you - if it is not important to you in a very personal way then you are unlikely to put 100% into it. Anything less than 100% is not going to be good enough. When you have really found out what it is that drives you, hold that thought in your head, remind yourself of it throughout each and every day. When you feel like taking it easy or “treating” yourself, SHOUT aloud internally to yourself why you are doing this and believe you are worth the change. YOU ARE.
6) Staying At The Top Is Easier Than Getting There
Once you have reached your goals, it will be so much easier to maintain them than it was to get there. I promise.
7) You Don’t Know Everything
Each time you think you know better or are low on motivation, remember that your way, the way you have been following up to this point has got you exactly where you don’t want to be. You want a Personal Trainer for a reason, you want a change, remember? Have faith that you are worth the effort and that you can learn and make habit a new way of thinking, a new you.
8) Just Do It, Become Action Man/Woman
Don’t blame anyone or anything for the position you are in now, take ACTION. Move on from the past, realise you are only where you are now because you didn’t have the information you needed to help you make this change. Take ACTION, take control, take responsibility for the new you.
I hope this helps you discover the whys and hows of your new direction and I look forward to seeing you soon at the Epsom Personal Training facility!
