Concentrate On The Long Term Benefits...

This Really SUCKS!...

That's exactly what you'll be thinking every time you go to workout or eat something healthy if you are not committed to your fitness and weight loss program and/or have no desire to be fit.

Let's face it, anytime we label something as undesirable, we automatically train our brains to treat it like an incurable disease, even at the mere mention of the subject. Just the absolute thought of it makes us cringe.

Why? Because it has apparently become human nature to be lazy and eat unhealthy foods way too often. The sad part is most people don't even realize how deconditioned their bodies have become over the many years of neglected exercise and bad eating habits. They have been this way for so many years that their bodies have adapted to their sedentary, unhealthy lifestyles causing them to "falsely" believe that they are in better health and shape than they really are in.

Being a personal trainer and fitness coach, I see this type of misconception all the time with new clients. They describe themselves as being only " a little out of shape", when actually they are in their 40's and haven't exercised since high school or college. They may not be severely over-weight but they exhibit many muscle imbalances (most likely caused by their lack of exercise and sedentary lifestyles) and their body fat to lean mass ratio is very high.

Most of the time these clients will "vividly" describe their hatred of the words diet and exercise. In fact, I think 8 out of 10 times they end up using the words "chore" or "hate" when talking about either one.

I personally think it's pretty sad that something that can make you feel great, look great, live longer, boost your self-esteem and confidence, and enable you to physically and mentally accomplish tasks that couldn't be accomplished without them, could be labeled as a "chore" or described using the word "hate".

The funny thing is, it's usually real easy to get these particular clients on the right track and motivated. After they realize how "out of shape" they have become over the years, it almost gives them a more focused purpose to reach their fitness goals. What I mean is, instead of striving to just "lose a few pounds", they are now working on changing their whole lives by getting healthy and living more active, fulfilled lives with diet and exercise.

By concentrating on the long term benefits instead of the short term results, you too could reach your fitness goals quickly and live a long, physically active, healthy life.


As Always,


Stay motivated, Stay Fit
