Fort Worth Personal Trainer: The Year is Half Over Are You Where You Want to Be? (VIDEO)

“You could just as easily change your life today as any other day. You don’t need to wait for January first.”
-Dan Kennedy

The year is half over.

It’s a good day to take a good hard look at yourself in the mirror.

And make an honest assessment if you’re really hitting your goals like you’d like to be.

If not, it’s OK. I haven’t hit all my goals either.

The good news is we still have a LOT of time for us to succeed.

Over the last 6 months I’ve been trying to distill our success down to it’s simplest form.

Last week I had two different women, Mary and Laurie with similar goals.

They both made one tiny decision that caused them to have completely different outcomes.

Earlier last week I received a consult request from Mary and her email went along the lines of…”trying to get out of my “funk” and get fit again. I’m trying to tone up and prepare for the tough mudder in October. I’m skinny just not “fit”.

These are good goals. And from speaking to her I could tell she really WAS in a “funk”.

The good news being for fitness goals like these, there’s a 100% success rate.

As long as one thing happens.

You must “Show Up”.

8am Saturday morning came and there was no Mary.

She just couldn’t get herself up and over the hurdle of showing up on a Saturday morning to take the first steps to becoming the best version of herself.

And it’s interesting and instructive and we can learn from her failure.

You must “show up”.

The power is IN the showing up.

Every decision you make is either moving you in the direction of your goals or away.

There’s no neutral.

By allowing your internal resistance(your reasons, your excuses, your story) to hold you back, you simply don’t show up. And you not only don’t move toward your goal, you move away.

Today Mary’s not exactly where she was on Saturday, she’s further behind.

Because she didn’t show up.

Her conditioning to NOT show up is stronger now. Here goals further away.

There is no neutral decision.

Compare and contrast that with Laurie who at 11am did show up.

Laurie wants to drop 15lbs, while toning and tightening her entire body. She told me her 3 children had really done a number on her body and she wanted to feel confident again.

We looked at where she’s at now. we got a plan together,we dialed in her nutrition, she got her first workout with me in on Saturday afternoon. This morning she was back in before work this morning for her second workout.

Look at the difference showing up made for Laurie. She’s been eating better for 2 days and she’s knocked out 2 workout already.

She’s going into the week ahead.

All because she showed up…

There’s power there.

You want to condition yourself to do what you say you’ll do, to be where you’ll say you’ll be, to think the thoughts that move you forward not back.

Again there is no neutral decision.

Showing up not missing.

Positive not negative.

Forward not back.

Supportive not un-supportive.

Healthy not unhealthy.

And it all begins with one tiny little decision.

You must show up.

Against all of your internal resistance.

So you must push forward. Against this resistance.

Let today be the day you let go of your history, your story, the negative circumstance that hold you in place.

The magic is in that one action..showing up.

And then showing up again and again and again.

You can just as easily change your life today as any other day. You don’t have to wait for January 1st.

Let this be YOUR day.

Fort Worth Personal Trainer: Why Do Some People Succeed at Reaching Their Fitness Goals….and Some Don’t (VIDEO)

Saturday I had chance to meet a new client who self admittedly had taken far too long to reach out to me.

He asked me what the ONE dividing factor was between those people who succeed and those that don’t.

What one piece of advice did I give him that will work for you too?

Show up.

To beat your internal resistance and show up.

As simple as it sound it get’s missed by a lot of people.

To just show up.

I was working with an in home client a few years ago. She told me one of the best things about working with me was I always showed up!

I was confused at first.Then she told me of the

string of people she and her family had tried

to work with before. None panned out. They just

couldn’t show up.

I had won the client by default.

Because I just showed up and kept showing up.

And I’ve learned since then this is universal.

It works at work and in life and in fat loss.

If you simply show up you’re beating 99% of your competition.

Even if the competition is your own internal struggle to get the job done.

If you want the real secret to success to losing fat and feeling better is to just show up.

Who’s most successful in losing weight and getting into shape?

It’s the person who shows up!

And keeps showing up!

When you override your internal resistance and get yourself to the right place, at the appointed time. The other pieces tend to fall into place.

You can do this.

You can even use sheer tenacity and stubborness to never ever give up! It works.

It may be the hardest thing to do!

To just show up.

And keep showing up again and again and again.

I’ve seen this stick to-itiveness of clients win out over all other kinds of habits. Everytime.

One more thing-

“The failure to act is much more often the product of inner, emotional resistance than external resistance.

To move forward you must give up your story, whether it is excuses about your childhood, lack of education, your “bad luck”, your unsupportive family, your low metabolism, where you live, etc.”-Dan Kennedy

Tough but helpful words to remember. Quite often it’s the internal resistance you have to fight the hardest.

Just show up.

Talk soon.

Fort Worth Personal Trainer: 4 Easy ShortCuts to Faster Fat Loss (VIDEO)

During the Summer I’ve noticed there’s really only 2 groups of people hitting the gym.

1) Regulars that are just trying to hold the line through the Summer and not completely fall off the wagon.

and

2) Time to Go For It people, those that focus hard to make improvements during the hottest days of the year.

If you’re part of the second group this newsletter is for you today.

These “Shortcuts” aren’t necessarily easy.

But they can kickstart a sluggish metabolism.

If over the last few months you’ve tried everything in your power to lose weight, tone up, and feel better?

You’ve joined every gym. Tried every class from Jazzercise, Step, Body-Pump to Zumba.

You have even tried low- calorie, low-fat, gluten-free, and every other diet solution out there…

All with LITTLE or NO HELP at all!

You’re then left feeling frustrated, unmotivated, drained, and worst of all, you’re not seeing results on the scale, in your clothes or in the mirror!

Do you want some EASY SHORTCUTS that will fire up your metabolism and help you burn FAT?

Of course you do!

Pay attention, because the next FOUR tips can propel you from struggling to successful in as little as 7 days.

And help you burn more FAT in LESS time. And finally, look and feel the way you want to.

4 Proven Shortcuts to Weight Loss

Of course, you still need to work hard at your goal of losing weight.

You still need to eat the right foods and exercise, in order to boost your fat burning.

However, these 4 tips, will separate the boys from the men, the girls from the women, and help you shed the fat and look good doing it!

So what are they?

Shortcut #1: Write Down EVERYTHING

If you want to boost fat loss, try writing very calorie, every exercise, and your weight DOWN.

This may keep you motivated at losing weight, especially as when you see the weight FALL off!

Research and our own results have shown, that people who write down EVERYTHING they ate and the exercises they did, ended up losing MORE weight than the people who didn’t. Every time.

Shortcut #2: Get More (or better) Sleep

If you’re like most of my clients when they start my our program, then you probably are not getting enough sleep.

And that may spell trouble for your weight loss.

Research shows that not getting enough sleep could cause you to crave nutrient-dense, calorie laden foods that could lead to MORE fat retention on your hips, butt, and thighs.

Not getting enough sleep should be every dieter’s worst nightmare!

So next time you lay down, aim to get at least six and a half to eight hours of good, uninterrupted sleep.

Your body and mind will not be the only areas that benefit from it!

Shortcut #3: Skip the Old School Cardio and Shoot For Higher Intensity Intervals

You’ve heard me over and over again say “Just Say NO to Cardio”-Boring old slow steady state cardio. When your goal is specifically fat-loss.

(If you run 5k’s to Marathons or enjoy cardio for the sake of it, like giving you a chance to get outside.Don’t stop!)

But if you don’t have much time. and just want to do exercise that gives maximum fat-loss in minimum time do this instead: High Intensity Interval Training

Click Here=>Just Say No to Cardio

If you ever want to shrink your fat cells what you SHOULD REALLY DO is include interval training, sprints, or exercise at a more moderate to intense pace.

Current research shows that altering the intensity (interval or sprint training) may boost your fat burning during your workout.

But even better: you could burn more FAT AFTER your workout is over.

So if you want to shred fat, skip the fat burning zone, and shoot for a higher intensity workout!

Shortcut #4: Tackle the Hills

On your daily walk or run, you may avoid the lurking hill, because it looks just so darn hard.

But walking on an incline not only boosts your fat burning but it may increase your muscle strength and tone.

Research has shown that increasing the incline of your workouts (HILLS!), without changing walking or running speed, may increase your fat burning – by as much as 15 percent!

Plus, the bigger the hill or incline, the more calories you can burn during your workout!

So go ahead, tackle that hill! You’ll start burning more fat today.

If you have ever struggled to lose weight and didn’t know where to turn, then try these shortcuts.

Like I tell new clients, If you keep doing what you’re doing you’ll keep getting what you’re getting.

So DO something DIFFERENT to get different results.

Switching up your exercise plan, writing down everything you eat and the exercise you did, and skipping the old worn out fat burning advice, will increase your fat burning, increase your weight loss, and increase your energy levels.

There’s really no downside here.

You’ll look better, and more importantly, feel better faster while you’re doing it!
