So how’s the basics/fundamentals in your life going? These never change after all.
When you’re doubting your progress towards your goal, why exactly aren’t you getting there? There is a set path to get to wherever you want, and whilst nobody expects you to be perfect, there are some basics you need to practice on a daily basis if you want to make the kind of transformation you’re looking for.
Someone who never eats breakfast, snacks on crisps, and has a bit of what they fancy every night for evening meal is not really taking their health seriously. A lean athletic body won’t happen when you fuel your body like this, you may get away with it for a couple of years when you’re 18 if you do lots of exercise, but the situation is likely to be highly different in your 30’s and 40’s!
The person who has a good breakfast full of good nutrients, snacking on nuts and fruit, has a lunch full of goodness, and finishes the day off with a variety of healthy food is likely to be looking good as well as FEELING good, which is the name of the game of course.
What about the person who trains now and again, doesn’t train with much intensity and tends to do a bit of what they fancy? They are likely to have mediocre progress at best.
The person who shows some commitment to their training, throws in 3-5 sessions per week, trains with real purpose and tries a variety of different training sessions (resistance work and runs or cycles or swims etc) is very likely to be at the top of their game, and be in this kind of shape year round.
Some people think that its hard to be in good health all year, in fact its not. If you like feeling and looking good, you are likely to continue to do so, that makes sense surely. Okay it means some sacrifice here and there but the benefits are much more rewarding than the 2 minute pleasure of eating rubbish all the time and laying down on the settee all night.
It all comes down to doing the basics and fundamentals, its not rocket science so let’s get your behind off the settee and get out there and do something and achieve something worthwhile this week, no time to waste!
