The “magic formula” for getting results is always a simple one, but requires honesty.
Are you showing up for your workout at least 3 times a week? I always like to talk about creating a “chain”. Put a X in your calendar EVERY time you train. If you haven’t got 3 X’s a week on there regularly, you are not going to get what you want out of any programme.
2. Use a simple formula for eating. If you eat healthy 80% of the time, then great things will happen for you. Plan your food, avoid stopping in convenience shops/petrol stations for your snacks/meals. You can have the occasional treat, but your body will be nourished with the nutrients you need on a consistent basis. You will feel energetic and you your sense of wellbeing will be high.
3. Drink more water. The most underrated of habits. If you drink throughout the day, then you will feel better, your body will function a lot better full stop, and your energy levels will be high all day long.
4. Sleep better. If you are exercising well, chances are your sleep will improve greatly. Your body only improves in your sleep, when you have had chance to rest. Getting to bed earlier means you get up earlier and you get more done with your day.
5. Hang out with positive people. Anyone who drags your confidence down regularly is not your friend. Anyone who doesn’t want you to succeed is not worth bothering with. Your true friends will want the best for you.
This is a simple checklist that will transform everything in your life. Change one of these at a time until it sticks and you feel comfortable with it. Tell yourself there’s no going back this time.
