Each part reveals a new technique on how to build consistency into your exercise routine and turn that once hated event into a consistent pleasure where you reap the benefits. Say good bye to punishment, frustration, and feelings of being overwhelmed and say hello to your new life.
The final article! You made it and you have come long way. From the previous 4 articles, you learned: The importance of having a clear target The power of why and how it will get you going How to break down large goals into measurable steps Building a system to guarantee you stay on the right path and continue to make progress
So what could be left? Well as we said before, if you haven't gone through articles 1 ? 4, please do that before continuing. You can get them for free by following the link at the end of this article.
This final step could actually be used by itself without the groundwork developed in the previous articles. It is so powerful that this can get you to follow through on stuff that you don't enjoy and is not to your benefit. Now this is clearly counter to what we have said in the start of every article:
"Say good bye to punishment, frustration and feeling overwhelmed."
Luckily, we have laid the ground work in the first 4 articles so you will be able to apply this technique to what you want, instead of something you don't want. If you haven't downloaded the full course that has all the articles with bonus material to help you through the articles, we definitely recommend it. It's free and the link is at the bottom of this article.
What is this super power that can be the turbo charger to your dreams or spell certain disaster? In a word, it is accountability. It might not sound sexy, but if used correctly, it will give you the power to push through to the finish line.
Now accountability is generally wrapped up in a cloak of bad feelings. Normally it is brought up as means to:
Tell you have done something wrong It was your fault You should feel bad about it
With those associations to accountability who would like the word.
The key here is that you generally get more done if someone is watching. Being accountable does work, but it is just normally not pleasant. So why don't we just dump it altogether? Here is the catch. There is always "something" holding you accountable, especially when it comes to fitness goals.
It might sit in the background for a time, but it is always watching. To put it simply, you DO NOT want this "something" to be the thing that holds you accountable. If you haven't guessed, that "something" is your body.
Nothing gets by it. It knows everything you ate, how much you ate, every workout that you did and exactly how hard you did that workout.
You can not lie to it and it records everything.
You can tell yourself that you feel fine for a time, but push comes to shove, it holds all the cards.
Have you every gotten really sick and told your body that this is just not a good time, maybe later? How about waking up in the morning and saying "Hey wait a minute, 20 extra pounds is too much! Let's just make it 5 extra pounds." It doesn't work that way does it?
By setting up a system of accountability with your friends, to keep you accountable to the fitness goals you want, you are using accountability in a smart way. Now that extra spark of energy that got you to do the tasks you didn't care about can be directed towards the tasks you do care about.
We all have times when we don't want to go the gym, or stick to our food plan, etc, and those are the times when accountability is critical. Messing up by missing once is not the problem.
It's missing once, then twice, then three times, and then feeling bad and then quitting, that is the real problem. By setting up a system of outside accountability, you will insulate yourself from one mistake snowballing into complete failure.
You have made it to the end of this part 5 series. We highly recommend getting the full course, which has a lot of added explanation. It's free and allows us to go into much more detail. Either way, make sure you start today and setup your system of accountability. Great job and great luck with all of your fitness goals.
Welcome to part 2 of this web course. Each part will reveal a new technique on how to build consistency into your exercise routine and turn that once hated event into a consistent pleasure where you reap the benefits. Say good bye to punishment, frustration, and feelings of being overwhelmed and say hello to your new life.
By now you know what you truly want and can start down the road of happily achieving it. If you missed part 1, please follow the link at the bottom of this article to pick it up.
The key to being consistent is to be happily achieving your goals. If you are enjoying the process, you are much more likely to stick with it. So your next step is to figure out WHY you want the goal you designed in part 1.
WHY?
You might have heard this before, but let me explain some of the reasons behind the importance of having a great WHY and the critical things to include when doing this step.
The first reason to having a great WHY is that it will be the initial fuel to get you into motion towards achieving your goal. It is the spark to get you off your butt and into action.
The next step, is to fully go down the path of figuring out the WHY behind your goal. It will act as a filter that weeds out the unsupportive reasons behind your goal. Write down all the things your new body will bring you. Now go back and remove the reasons that don't support you.
We can not address all the "bad" reasons in this article and how those reasons will undermine your goal, but we can in the full course. Just follow the link at the end of this article to pick it up for free.
There are many great benefits of taking better control of your body and getting into the shape of your dreams. A bunch of those benefits are indirect. Things like:
Feeling more attractive Getting noticed Feeling confident about yourself Attracting more attention Feeling happy Peace of mind
Although these indirect benefits do generally occur when improving your fitness level, there is a big trap in measuring your fitness success by those standards because they are INDIRECT benefits.
What you want to do is focus on the direct benefits when measuring your success, but focus on indirect benefits when thinking about how great your new body will feel.
Measure your success based on things like:
Body fat How you feel when doing your cardio How long you can do your cardio Your flexibility How much you can lift If your pain is reducing Your blood pressure Etc.
Make sure you write down all the great benefits (direct and indirect) and wonderful things that will happen in your life because you achieved your fitness goals. It is ok to make the results larger than life. When you think about why you are going into the gym, you want to be excited and happy and have tons of enthusiasm.
Now that you have an outstanding "WHY" you want to go get your fitness goal. It might be exaggerated a little and a little over the top and that is ok. When it comes time to evaluate if you are getting results, make sure you only look at the direct benefits. ONLY use your WHY, to get you excited about going to the gym and to keep you going there.
Congratulations on a job well done and make sure you join us in part 3 of:
