Fort Worth Personal Trainers: 3 Steps to Getting Ready for 2018! (VIDEO)

Last 2 weeks of the year!

One of the best times you can start preparing your mind for 2018 to be your BEST year ever is right now.

Over the weekend I had a chance to review my progress from 2017.

Last year I set some big new goals, and took the action steps to seeing it through.

Its always good to step back once in awhile and make sure you’re actually going in the right direction.

Take a look at where you are today and where you want to be.

And set those new goals.

Here are 3 simple exercises to cement your goals and increase your odds of success.

Once you know what you want

be it to…

“Lose 5 pounds this week”

“Get to the gym 5 times this week”

“Eat according to my plan for 5 days straight”

First step

1) Write it Down.

Yes, no matter how little or large your goal write it down.

According to a study done by Gail Matthews at Dominican University, those who wrote down their goals had an 80% higher completion rate than those who did not.

2) Reread, visualize, and reenforce

It’s not enough to just write it down.

Like any goods habit you want to review your goal on a regular basis.

I like to review mine in the evening when I’m setting up the schedule for tomorrow.

It helps me prioritize my actions toward my goals.

Reenforcement is key, just getting those day after day repetitions of rereading your goals will move your mind and behaviors in the right direction.

3) Get some Support

Just like I mentioned yesterday this is the key.

You don’t even necessarily have to tell your supporters what your goal is but you do need to get around like minded people.

If you’re struggling with your diet get with Weight Watchers.

If you workout at home and  can’t seem to stay motivated  join Sparkpeople.

If you walk into the gym and you  wander around and don’t even know where to start

In this video I explain how serious we take out mission to coach clients.

Fort Worth Personal Trainers: Monday Quick Tip-How to Get Started (VIDEO)

Today I want to answer one of the most important and common questions I get.

Have any of these thoughts crossed your mind?

I need to lose 20, 30 or 50 pounds.

I’m at my heaviest weight ever! (Even when I was pregnant!)

I’ve outgrown my “big” clothes.

I hate the way I look and feel.

I just walked up a flight of stairs and I’m out of breath!

I am not happy.

And then.

“What’s the best way to get started?”

The best way to get started is to.

Get started.

It really is that simple.

Janet Powers lost over 150lbs. Her very first action was to get up one morning and walk around the block.

Everything else followed that first action.

Katii Moore’s first action was portion control, “eating one instead of 10” and has since dropped 60 pounds, and looks 10 years younger.

One action started that.

Adele Krause’s first action was to walk into Weight Watchers on a Tuesday.

That was also 60lb ago.

One simple action.

And that’s how you get started.

By one action.

The power isn’t “what” the action is.

The power is in the action itself.

And it doesn’t even really matter what you do as long as you do something.

Eat an apple instead of fries.

Walk around the block.

Do your first jumping jack.

Grab a friend and come to boot camp.

They all work!

Everyone of them has worked for others and they’ll work for you too.

When you take action.

And that’s how you get started.

By one decision and one step and one choice.

It really can be done, and you can do this

”People will do anything to stay in their comfort zones. If you want to accomplish anything, get out of your comfort zone. Strive to increase order and discipline in your life. Discipline usually means doing the opposite of what you feel like doing.”

Fort Worth Personal Trainers: #1 Positive Change You Can Make In 2018 (VIDEO)

Not all good habits are equal.

Some habits are MORE important than others.

Some habits called KEYSTONE Habits will cause “carry-over” into improving other unrelated aspects of your life.

What’s even more interesting is these improvements are made unconsciously as a side-effect of establishing this KEYSTONE Habit.

ONE habit caused this…

“A study published in the British Journal of Health Psychology found that college students who went from not exercising at all to even a modest program (just two to three gym visits per week) reported a decrease in stress, smoking, alcohol and caffeine consumption, an increase in healthy eating and maintenance of household chores, and better spending and study habits.

In addition to these real-life improvements, after two months of regular exercise, the students also performed better on laboratory tests of self-control”

The suspicion of researchers is that regular exercise had a “Powerful impact on a persons capacity for self-regulation” meaning greater self control and direction”.

Exercise…

Exercise is THE KEYSTONE HABIT.

Here’s how establishing this ONE simple habit in 2018 can improve your life.

Fort Worth Personal Trainers: 3 LAWS of Rapid Fat-Loss and Getting in Shape (Violate Them at Your Own Peril)

In the beginning whether you’re a lifetime exerciser or you’ve never stepped foot in the gym before.

There are some universal laws that have to be addressed when it comes down to getting in shape.

Most people aren’t aware of them which is one of the reasons most people really struggle to start.

And even more importantly to stay on track.

So lets get down to the Laws of getting in shape.

1) Know What You Want
(It’s the What)

The more clarity you have on what you want your outcome to be the faster you can get there.

WHAT do you really want to accomplish?

Having the end goal in mind FROM THE BEGINNING is like giving your GPS a destination.

And all kinds of smart people miss this and waste time wandering around not moving toward their goal.

If your goal is to lose 30 pounds in 6 months you’re map or plan is going to look a lot different than the one for the girl who has 5lbs to lose and wants to complete her first half-marathon.

KNOW your goal.

Everything else diet, exercises, frequency, who you’re around is built out from that.

2) Don’t Screw Around
(It’s the How)

If you’re going to get in shape

Get in shape.

The HOW you approach it will decide your success or failure.

It’s much more effective and satisfying to go 100% all in than to dabble.

Dabbling produces frustration, cognitive dissonance, and confusion.

A good example is the difference between “I’m going to eat healthier in the new year” and kind of sort of doing it but if that cookie is convenient I’m going to eat it, commitment.

This is will deliver NO results because you’re screwing around.

Contrast that with a I’m not screwing around “I’m committing to WHOLE30 for 30 days come hell or high water.”

Then you get on the scale.

You clean out your kitchen.

You buy everything you need to eat that week.

You drag your neighbor into it with you.

You bear down and there’s NO screwing around.

THIS approach produces results.

It’ hard but it’s not nearly as hard as dabbling and not getting results because you were screwing around.

3) Hang Out With Winners
(It’s the Who)

You’re going to have to get yourself some support.

The WHO you’re around is going to make or break you.

Every piece of research out there and our own finding say the MORE support you have from
a training partner
a workout group
a coach
a friend
family members
co-workers
extended family
Facebook groups
even online support groups and forums

The FASTER and easier your results will be.

And if weight loss is your goal, your chances of keeping it off forever increases with more support.

A solid goal, a plan, an experienced coach and a good training partner will make you nearly bullet proof when it comes to reaching your goals.

Remember it’s not about the jumping jacks or eating salads.

The 3 Laws of Lifetime Fitness
#1 Know What You Want
(It’s the What)
#2 2) Don’t Screw Around
(It’s the How)
#3 Hang Out With Winners
(It’s the Who)

Hope this helps give you some clarity as we go into the biggest get-in-shape time of the year.
