WHY SO SERIOUS???????
Are you stronger than last year? Are you more flexible than you were 6 months ago? Are you heavier or lighter than you would like? Do You have a plan? Are You Serious? Why Not?
So many people enter there respective gym with no idea of what there going to do, what they want to accomplish, or even have a false sense of where they’re physically at!
This is disastrous for anyone client or coach/trainer that does not have a plan of action and a time line in which to achieve these goals. You ask what should my program consist of? I say “keep it simple.”
Too many people try to duplicate what there neighbor/co-worker is doing, what they saw on the biggest loser, or what they read in a muscle magazine with people loaded up on roids. Here is what I mean. Before entering your gym you should know or have a really good idea on what it is you need to work on and how your going to get there. That is true for anything. You may hit a speed bump but be flexible make adjustments and keep moving forward!! Your program should include the following:
1. Get a plan and stick to it!! You need to look your self in the mirror and ask yourself what your really weak at and what it is you need to improve on. I do this and man has it helped me. This is why you can’t do your neighbors program because everyone has a different weakness. Once you ask yourself this, write it down, focus on the little things and the big things and do you know what will happen? Whatever it is that you need to improve on don’t be scared. Don’t be scared to fail, fall, or suck!! Keep trying, recording, monitoring your progress and not only will those things get better but the things you were good or great at will get even better.
2. K.I.S.S.-Keep It Simple Stupid!!! it’s really that simple. There are too many fads in the fitness industry and if you really pay attention and you’re a lover of IRON what hasn’t changed is the basics Squat, Bench, Dead lift, Military Press, and few other Primary Lifts or Big Movers!! If you play soccer, you don’t need soccer training or special training. You need strength, flexibility, and the right type of energy system training to meet those demands of your respected sport!! That goes for anything
3. Flexibility- Be flexible! Life does not always play out how we would like or think. We’ve all heard that saying , “S*#t happens.” If life gets crazier, your job becomes more stressful, family time is cut in half then you need to keep these things in mind when designing your plan. Make the proper adjustments for your situation that enable you to continue to make positive progress!! Like I said, “a plan is just as important in life as in the gym.” Don’t make excuses MAKE IT HAPPEN!!
4. Stick to It!!! This is mentioned in point #1 also and respectively so. How are you going to know if your improving if you don’t have data to look back upon and see your progress. Here is where some fall off the wagon. You’ll get a plan, be real dedicated and do all you need to do but within 10 days you decide for whatever reason to try the “newest craze” or let your job interfere with “YOU” time but no matter what, YOU need to have that plan embeded in your mind and on paper so that you’re able to make forward progress!
STILL NOT SERIOUS????
