Would It Be Ok If…
No San Antonio, it wouldn’t be ok!
A lot of people think they can get away with missing a workout every couple of weeks. Or if they do more cardio and working out, they can skimp on the diet. Or if they take a particular supplement they can not do what needs to be done in other aspects and still transform their bodies.
NO. NO. NO!
It takes a serious commitment. There are strict and defined guidelines and it simply isn’t easy because if it were, everyone would do it. Exercise gadgets, bogus aerobics classes and ridiculous nutritional supplements all wouldn’t be multi-billion dollar business.
As a personal trainer, it isn’t my job to tell you what I think you want to hear to keep you paying me. Instead, it’s my responsibility to tell you what you need to hear to make progress. I have heard that I’m too hard. That I expect too much and I know that many people are going to try to find an easier way.
Ironically enough, I’ve had clients tell me that they read my blog and decided that my writings intimidated them and that my expectations were too high, so they went elsewhere. Then, after weeks of not changing or losing fat, they call me and come clean.
Here’s the thing: I browse other personal trainers websites and they say the same things – Reasons why you need a personal trainer, what a personal trainer can do for you, statistics on fat loss, etc. FEW open up their hearts and minds like I do and tell you how it is – that it’s a hard road, that it isn’t easy, and that changing the body is simply one of the hardest MENTAL things one can do. But that’s for a reason: I don’t want to be the average personal trainer. I am NOT the type of personal trainer you see at Gold’s Gym or Lifetime Fitness or Spectrum. As a matter of fact, I despise being grouped into that same demographic.
CAN YOU DO IT? CAN YOU CHANGE YOUR BODY? Can you lose the fat? It’s not unrealistic – it’s just for those who are willing to do what it takes to REALLY change. It is not easy. It IS called working out. Few people in society actually go through with it. My clients DO make changes.
Training. Cardio. Nutrition. Recovery. These things are all part of the bigger puzzle, and combined, are synergistic in helping you reach goals that you never before thought attainable. Whether you just want to look “normal” or absolutely amazing, it IS within reach, no matter your current condition. Once you believe, it is within reach.
