Consistency

One of the most misunderstood aspects of a true body transformation is Consistency.
 
You have to show up. Every day. And take actions that lead you closer to your goals.
 
I can’t tell you how many people get tripped up on this step.
 
Why? They think that transformation requires perfection. They think they have to do a whole lot of unsustainable things 100% of the time in order to see results.
 
That’s not how transformation happens. Actually, it happens one small step at a time. And it happens with consistency.
 
What does this mean? It means reframing your perception of what’s necessary … and making things simpler.
 
Here are examples of unsustainable goals that, more often than not, will lead to failure:
 
— I will work out 6 days a week.
 
— I will stop eating carbs.
 
Here’s how we might reframe those goals to make them more attainable … and thus, more likely to yield results:
 
— I will perform 1-2 strength workouts per week and 1-2 conditioning workouts at home (with the program prescribed by my coach).
 
— I will earn my carbs with exercise. (This means, eat a little more carbs in your meals following a workout, and a little less in all other meals during the day.)
 
Here’s the thing: For most people, following these two simple principles 80% of the time CONSISTENTLY will result in a major transformation in 6-12 months.
 
Unfortunately, you’ve been inundated with bad information and indoctrinated by online gurus who’ve sold you a bill of goods … and convinced you that in order to see results, you need to exercise 12 hours a week and starve yourself.
 
There’s a better way … and a more successful way.
 
Just pick a couple of things you can easily do EVERY WEEK, and do those things EVERY WEEK. Then build from there. You’ll be amazed … less really IS more.
