Well, if any of this interests you, there is a way. If you genuinely want to make meaningful progress, on a consistent basis in your training, all you need to do is follow the process.
I will show you the way. It is simple, and it is logical. Unfortunately, too many people are in a rush, and they try to skip important stages.
I believe that is a mistake. I believe that this is why most people fail in their fitness pursuits. This is also why people quit before they really get going.
So, if you're ready to succeed, in the pursuit of your fitness goals, here is a great place to start.
Here are the 5 Stages of Fitness:
1. Creating a habit of going to the gym:
Start by simply going to the gym every weekday. Stay for one hour each day. Don't miss days and do your best to focus on training.
(NO PHONES!!!)
Watch the people with phones at the gym. They accomplish nothing. Leave your phone in the locker room. You're here to work!
2. Building strength:
In the beginning, you won't be able to SEE your progress. This plays on people's psyches. They work out. They look in the mirror. They get on the scale and they get depressed.
Look, this will take time. Even though you don't see (Visible) progress right away, you ARE making progress. You're changing your habits. You are working out regularly and this WILL yield results . . . in time.
The good news is, if you focus on building strength, you will be able to see, measurable, strength gains relatively quickly. These gains will continue and that will give you the confidence and motivation to continue.
3. Building muscle:
This is where things being to become enjoyable. During the strength-building portion of this process, you won't see much change. That is because muscle is more dense than fat. Therefore, it takes up less space. (It's smaller)
You won't see this in the beginning. Your body will look the same, but it will be getting firmer. Now, one word of warning (at the strength-building stage) - your weight will, most likely, either stay the same or increase. Again, this is simply due to the dense nature of muscle.
The fun part is, that this is the stage where you will now begin to SEE your progress! You will begin to see your body changing shape. This is a great time. Your confidence will really begin to grow. Going to the gym had become a habit, but now it's something you look forward to.
4. Adjusting your diet:
Ok. Now it's time to really get to it. You're going to the gym every day. You're training hard and getting stronger and more fit. You've started to see some visible improvement in your body. Now you're ready to move to the next stage.
It's time to begin to focus on your diet. You may have been trying to do this early on. That can be a bit of a mistake. You don't want to try to change too much too fast. This can be overwhelming. It can cause failure. (Check out other posts on this blog.)
The wise thing to do, is to begin with training first. Then, when you're in full swing of working out, SLOWLY improve your diet.
Begin by adding healthy foods first. Then, over time, reduce the bad foods. That way, you will be easing yourself physically, and psychologically, toward a healthy diet. You will reduce the stress factor this way.
5 Begin sculpting your body:
This is it! You're a fitness beast now! At this point, you will want to begin to assess your physique and decide on how you wish to proceed.
This process takes time. Be patient and wise. Everyone is different. We all move at our own pace. Just be mindful of what stage you are in and what you should expect. Once you recognize you have reached a stage, prepare to move to the next.
Have fun with this!
