If you are thinking of starting training, thinking of beginning to eat healthy, or wondering if you can get fit and healthy for the first time in your life, then i have news for you.
Many people talk about getting in shape but the reality of it is that many never get around to doing anything about it. As i told you before, i get questions about training more or less every day, maybe in the supermarket or in shop i am popping into, or definitely in the gym, definitely with a client and if im out the weekend, i usually get a question then and that could be anywhere. I also get texts or emails through this site from people if they can somehow get in shape again, and is it really possible?!!!
Here’s what you can expect in just one month if you apply yourself, change the way you eat (which is highly important), and get on a well-structured training programme that is based on constant progression, starting off slowly but giving good gains each and every week.
I have to stress that no two people are the same, and everyone will give different degrees of effort into their programme and therefore get different degrees of success.
But on average and from training a lot of individuals over a very long time, here’s what i found.
If you apply yourself, it would not be unusual to lose 2 inches off your waist and 2 inches off your hips.
If you apply yourself it would not unusual to lose around 2% body fat (more than you think trust me).
If you apply yourself, it would not be unusual to bring your resting heart rate down 2-4 beats per minute, meaning your heart will be in better shape and be more ready to react better under stress.
Your blood pressure will improve.
Your circulation will improve substantially.
You will feel 100 times better as long as you train safely and with purpose, and 80% of your eating is healthier. Your energy levels can literally explode as long as you stick by a few simple rules.
Your attitude to life will improve immensely, and you will be more positive about everything, and even likely to try new things you may not have thought possible.
From this month of progress, you will want more and your standards will go up accordingly. You will reach your initial goals quickly and you will be encouraged to set new ones, which will be more exciting and will introduce fresh energy and drive into your life.
The examples of results i have given you are conservative estimates of what can happen when you change things around in your life, ive seen plenty of people smash those estimates, so don’t wait another month or even another year, lets get down to it and make it happen right now!!
