I often see people struggling to reach their goals. They love the sexiness of “I lost 30 lbs” or “I gained 10 lbs of muscle.” But they fail to realize how daunting the journey can be to get there.
You are going to have to sacrifice something. Maybe it’s your excuses, maybe you have to give up TV time in favor of a workout. Maybe you have to drag yourself out of bed at 0400 to accommodate your family’s schedule.
There will always be an excuse that coddles your need for momentary comfort. And it’s not entirely your fault! We are built to desire safety, comfort, and warmth. So, getting up at the ass-crack of dawn to be physically uncomfortable isn’t a great motivator when you’re tucked into bed.
But if you’re not embracing the discomfort of change, you’ll never make it to the other side. You will never become the next version of yourself.
Did you know that it takes our bodies 4-8 weeks to adapt to a new training program? 4-8 weeks! If you’re constantly quitting a program on week 5, you’re never reaching adaptation. You’re constantly stuck in the “this sucks” phase. This is why Danny and I are constantly on our clients about the importance of progress pictures. Sure, the scale might not move, but I promise you the body composition is starting to shift!
What most people fail to realize is the importance of understanding your phase. If you don’t know about phasing, comment below, and I’ll jump on a call with you to help you build out your fitness goals for free!
If you’re unfamiliar with phasing, I built the graphic below to help you understand the process!
