We hope you’re sitting down for this one because
we’re going to pull back the curtain and share with you something huge. In
fact, we believe that this is the biggest secret to attaining that perfectly
fit body that you’ve been after for so many years.
If you’re like most fitness enthusiasts then your
perfect body has eluded you for quite some time. It’s not that you aren’t
trying to workout and eat right, it’s just that you haven’t been able to find
that one thing to take you all the way to success.
Now, my friends, you’re about to find out what that
one thing is, and your fitness results will never be lacking again. It’s
quite simple, and yet stands as the truest and most important fitness advice
you’ll ever receive…
The big secret is that…Your daily habits
create your body.
What do we mean by daily habits? The things that
you consistently do on a daily basis determine your body’s shape, strength and
stamina.
That’s it. Nothing else matters as much as those
daily habits.
The problem is that most of us have bursts of
fitness motivation, when we eat clean and workout hard for a short time…but
then the motivation wears off and we go back to our daily habits. That
familiar routine that gives us comfort and security.
Your only focus, when it comes to shaping up your
body, should be to make and keep a handful of healthy, daily habits.
When these healthy habits become your comfortable routine, then you’ve
hit fitness gold.
This is great news for two reasons:
1
First, when you do something habitually it no longer
requires a lot of brain power or motivation to get it done. It pretty much
happens automatically. So once you’ve settled into your daily habits you’ll
easily maintain them.
2
Second, once your daily habits have been around
long enough to transform your body, you get to give up the struggle of trying
to lose weight. That quest, which has taken up so much of your time and mental
energy, will be put to rest, leaving you time to go out and enjoy your life. Go
crazy! Once you’ve achieved that body of your dreams the ride is just
begun. Now the fun really begins.
And so today take a few moments to determine
which healthy, daily habits you will begin to include in your daily life, and
continue to prompt yourself to do these until it becomes automatic and
comfortable. While each and every one of you have unique situations and
abilities, here is a general list of ideas of healthy daily habits to get you
started…
•
Daily resistance training workout – same time
each day.
•
Daily cardio bonus workout (walk, jog, bike etc)
– same time each day.
•
Daily protein shake to replace breakfast or
lunch.
•
Daily water drinking – bring your water bottle
with you.
•
Daily green drink.
•
Daily salad at one meal.
•
Daily bonus push-ups at home.
Go on, get working on your own personal list of
daily fitness habits. Make these realistic actions that you could fit into your
daily life, and watch as your body effortlessly transforms over the next
several weeks.
Quick note for you overachievers: resist the urge
to commit to difficult or extreme daily habits. You aren’t having one of your
fitness bursts right now, that fizzle out shortly – these habits are meant for
the long run. So instead of saying that you’ll run 6 miles each day, only
commit to 2 miles. Do those 2 miles ever day for a few months and you’ll see
the value and truly life-changing powers of a daily habit.
Call or email us now and we’ll help you with your
personalized list of daily habits. Of course one of those habits will be to
workout with us each day! Talk about a life changing habit :)
