Fit*ness by definition is the condition of being physically fit and healthy or the quality of being suitable to fulfill a particular role or task. Simplified by definition is to make less complex or complicated; make plainer or easier:
The best part of this is that it really is that easy but everyone makes it complicated, overthink’s it, analyzes too much of it, just flat-out doesn’t put in the work or worse puts out a half ass effort and expects full-time results.
There’s such a lack of personal accountability from the major majority of the population and then one excuse not to train plus one justification of why a food reward is in order sets up a trend and the hamster wheel just continues to turn.
So in my style of doing so I will break down how easy it is and touch on some topics, in another post I will spend more time on specifics of these main points.
- Make time for exercise – I don’t care how busy you think you are, everyone can dedicate at least 20 minutes a day to their fitness, and 20 minutes is being generous, 40-60 is probably more accurate. If you think you are to busy then I challenge you to log your time talking on the phone, texting & on social media, then tell me you don’t have time to train.
- Make time to learn what macronutrients (There are three major macronutrients that the human body needs in order to function properly: carbohydrates, protein, and fats) foods contain and in what quantity, I get told all the time how great someone eats and then when I receive their food log the definition of what is a good food is questionable and the amount taken in is generally 2-3x greater than the serving size listed. Learning what and how much to eat is and will be invaluable for your future fitness success.
- Make time for food preparation – Not everyone is handy in the kitchen and it might take you some time to get a solid routine down, but start to cook for yourself and portion out your foods so that you can get an idea of what a serving size really is and so you can accurately track what you are taking in. This is also very valuable when eating out and traveling, restaurants have a job to make you food taste good and give you a portion that will make you feel you got a value for your dollar, this portion is often much bigger and most people don’t leave a restaurant with food on the table.
- Do not over complicate your training sessions and stick to a routine – If you are reading this, you have internet access, if you have internet access you have the first tool needed to find a great program from one of many sites out there that have very solid training plans and ideas posted on their sites, Check out Tiger Fitness or Muscle & Strength to start with. Once you have found a training routine that fits your goals and schedule make a pledge to yourself that you will not make excuses and that you will go into every training session wanting to better yourself. There is that saying that says if you aren’t where you want to be, that should be enough motivation to get there. Go into the gym, leave your phone in the car or put it on airplane, check out from the world and hit the pre planned out session with intensity.
- After you have scheduled exercise into your day, found a training program that fits your fitness/life goals and have taken the time to learn the basics about fueling your body and how to prepare your food so that you go into each day with a plan on how & what you need to eat….Simply repeat it, make your days carbon copies of each other, focus on your goal and watch what happens to your physique over the next 8-12 weeks!
