That is 90% of
people out
there with
the current
society
wanting to
automate
more and
more things.
More people
are working from
home, groceries are
delivered to your door, drivethrus
becoming more popular
now and as a society we see
the obesity rate skyrocket along
with other health issues. When
did this happen? When did
automating all these processes
hit the point of diminished
returns by creating a society
that is setting us up to be out of
shape and unhealthy?
Despite the direction the world
is going, there is good news.
YOU CAN START TO CHANGE
YOUR LIFE BY FOLLOWING
THESE 5 EASY PRINCIPLES.
I have been getting hundreds
of people in shape for almost
a decade now. When you work
with so many people from all
walks of life, you begin to see
trends in their lifestyle. Flaws
and gaps that hold back their
progress big time. Here are a
few examples of the people that
come to me, about to give up on
their fitness journey because
they are not seeing the results
they want.
- The individual who spends
hundreds of dollars on
supplements a week. Who is
always looking for that magic
pill but is far from doing
what is correct in the
kitchen and in the gym.
- The individual who
works hard in the gym
and aims to eat as
well as possible but
is in a constant state
of stress from many
different angles of life.
- The individual who
has their diet bang on,
their supplementation
bang on, and their sleep
bang on, but always
leaves 10 reps in the
tank and because they
are worried about
overtraining.
- The individual who is
always working hard
in the gym and looking
to move as much
weight as possible but
does not have the first
clue when it comes to being
connected to their muscles.
- The individual who would
like to get in shape and does
so by drastically undereating.
They have no idea on what an
effective nutrition plan is and
obsess with calories and their
weight. When their weight
goes up even .2 lbs, they feel
demotivated and hate their
body. Their biggest problem is
lack of direction and education.
Do you fall into one or more
of these categories? If so, it is
okay if you do! There is nothing
wrong with asking for help and
seeking out why your results
may be falling short. We can
all improve in every aspect of
life. If you are reading this, it
means you want more out of
your progress. You are open to
learning new techniques too
