Those of you who know me know that I’m not one to fill your mind with nonsense just because it’s what I think you want to hear. I believe in giving it to you straight, with just a tiny bit of sugar coating (we all need a little bit of sweetness at times). At times I’m a man of few words, at other times I have plenty to say. Regardless of when you catch me, I’m always going to provide you with sound, proven advice to help you attain what you are here to attain.
You’re dead set on reaching your goal by using only one piece of equipment; I’ll tell you reasons to widen your choices of exercise and open your mind to new ideas.
You’re dreading an hour on the elliptical; I’ll tell you there are ways to shorten up your session, but I’ll tell you it’s going to take some extra effort.
You’re convinced that your methods for muscle growth or fat loss are the way to go; I’ll lay out multiple plans of action to help you add to your master plan. Once again, it’ll require new concepts and ideas.
Of course there are endless details as to why some gym members see results quickly, some see results slowly, and some never see the results they joined the gym to achieve. Truthfully, the average person falls into that last unappealing and unfortunate option. It’s time to assess where you fall in this “results spectrum.”
Before we go jumping into things, there are some statements in the spectrum that can be seen differently by different individuals. This problem must be addressed before we can determine where you fall.
We Begin:
Statement one; “some gym members see results QUICKLY.”
Now, in all honesty, quickly to some could be one week, while to others it could be three months. From personal experience, it is possible to see new lines, changed measurements, and pounds lost or gained within 1-3 months. I’ve made all those changes to myself in 1-3 months time. How? I had a proper plan, and I followed it. Do you have a plan?
Statement two; “some see results SLOWLY.”
Have you been working towards your goal for months on end, all the while seeing friends and peers passing you by on their road to their destination? Chances are you’re on the slow track to where you want to be. If your friends and peers are making increased strength and size gains, losing more weight, or seeing results in shorter time than yourself, you’re falling into the slow portion of the “results spectrum.” You may or may not have a plan, and if you do have a plan, is it effective, and are you following it?
I always have the view that when you’re in the gym, and set on a goal, that should be your only reason for being there. You should want to make that goal a reality. You should want to take control and make it happen as efficiently and effectively as possible. You wouldn’t drive through extra miles to get to a meeting on time, why should other aspects of life, such as the gym, be any different?
Statement three; "some NEVER see results."
These people give exercise a shot for a few weeks. Results take dedication. Results take commitment. Dedication and commitment aren’t centered around a month of effort here, and a week of effort there. Humans are creatures of habit, make the gym a habit. Exercise should be a given in everyone’s life. The person next to you isn’t in great shape because they have better genetics, they are in great shape because they stick to their plan.
