How to Keep Your Resolutions and Fitness Goals – Four Simple Tips To Stay With Your Fitness Training Program

February 10, 2016 by IR Staff 2 Comments

summer-beach-fun-wallpaperI see it happen every year, and so do you.

So many people get fired up and start their goals to conquer the World with their resolutions and fitness goals.

A lot of those fired up people have fallen off, and by the middle of February, every gym is back to normal, until many of those people realize they have to wear a swimsuit on their tropical vacation this summer (and by that time it is usually too late).

Anthony MansfieldIs it that each person that quits doesn’t lose 43 pounds in two weeks, so they decide it isn’t worth the time, money, nutrition tracking and fitness training anymore?

Is it that they started so intensely that they felt like they were wearing a body cast of lactic acid and soreness, and thought, “well that is horrible…this fitness training thing is not for me?”

Maybe it is that they were overwhelmed with their trainer’s broccoli, chicken, and cardio diet, followed by a lemon, ginger, asparagus, honey, and oatmeal enema, and then, here, take these 400 supplements…oh, and we haven’t even got into your power lifting program…

Whatever it is that coerced or is deceiving you or your friends into quitting, there is an easier way to keep your resolutions and fitness goals.

Feeling better, looking better, and moving better doesn’t have to destroy you, nor does it have to be complicated, nor does it have to cost you an arm and a leg.

Here is a simple four item list that you will be able to keep…for the rest of your life:

  1. Less is More
  2. Build Habits
  3. Restarting is Okay
  4. Do something, even if it is little, and do it now!

It isn’t sexy, and it seems counter-intuitive, until you have talked to my longest-attending clients with the most significant fitness, body, and mind transformations.

Start with a daily walk for 5 or 10 minutes, and think about how you can fit this small time and effort pleasantry into your life for the next week.

As the weeks progress, so can you.

If you slowly added 30 minutes of daily walking the results for your fitness goals, improved health and improved mental-wellness are tremendous.

The same goes for nutrition.

Imagine replacing one unhealthy food item with an healthy food item, and you knew you could enjoy this change for the rest of your life.

Now, perform that once per month, for the next year, and you have totally changed the way you eat in two years, and the best part, is that you will be able to sustain this for the rest of your life…no more yo-yo dieting.

MLK_Jeff Climb2 – Build Habits

So much of the success that I see, is because the person built the habit of just showing up to Innovative Results fitness gym every day…no matter what.

At first, habit building is slightly challenging, but no where near as challenging as the person trying to lose 43 pounds in two months, while trying to finish a marathon before they turn 40, which is happening in three weeks…

The habit-builder sees tremendous change, not because they have a better fitness goal, or more motivation, or more energy.

It is because they are more consistent.

Habits are how we live our daily lives, whereas goals that are large, are seen as an end to something in our life.

Often goals are not achieved, or if someone achieves the goal, they stop doing the thing they need for their improved health, improved fitness, and improved mental-wellness.

You can tell me what happens next, after they stop…Back to the old way of living, that made them choose the fitness goal in the first place.

Anaheim Personal Trainers3 – Restarting is Okay

If you are feeling rotten about quitting or giving up, you don’t have to…it sounds too simple and too easy, but just start again.

If you exercise and improve your nutrition for a month, and then fall-off, and then start a month later, and then do it again, and again, and again…you have exercised 5 months more per year than the person that quit after the first month, and never started again.

If it sounds too simple and too easy, it is because it IS too simple and too easy.

Start again.

Today is the beginning of the rest of your life, and what happened yesterday does not have to define you today.

SteveStary44 – Do something, even if it is little, and do it now!

Seriously, motion creates emotion, and if you don’t believe me, you haven’t stood up, moved around, smiled, and laughed yet.

Try it with me.

Stand up.

March in place.

Slap your right hand on your left thigh, and your left hand on your right thigh, while you march.

Smile as big as you can, and laugh out loud.

Even if you are interrupting the corporate meeting that you are supposed to be paying attention to right now.

Do it now, and let this tiny bit of effort show you the great rewards that come from a changed life.

Improve Your Life, To Improve Another, The Story of Anthony Mansfield

May 12, 2014 by ptpt Leave a Comment

Back in 2011 I had decided I wanted to serve my country and devote my life to something greater than myself.Anthony Mansfield

I started doing research on the different branches, and where I could see myself doing the best work. I had gone into the Army, Navy and Air force offices to see what they had to offer, but I was blown off by the recruiters because I had a big obstacle, I weighed 355 pounds.

I was told to “lose 100 pounds and come back”, but there was one branch that didn’t turn me away, the Marine Corps.  There I was told that they don’t accept applications but only commitments, and that if I wanted to be a Marine I had to cut my weight down to about 201 pounds and then I could get a chance at earning the title of Marine.

Since that day I’ve worked my body to exhaustion countless times and I’ve ate, slept and trained just for the chance to go to boot camp. Finally on February 3rd 2014, I was able to swear my oath and receive the ship out date of June 9th.  I had finally gotten my ticket to go!  On May 1st 2014, I was called and was informed I’d be now leaving May 12th and to prepare to go.

Today is May 11th 2014, and I leave at 3 am to start my journey.

Innovative Results has helped me condition my body to the point where I’m ready for bootcamp. I’m ready to travel the long distances, and I’m ready for the hardships ahead of me.  I’ve become stronger without putting on weight, my mile and a half time has gotten better by over a minute, and my sit ups have increased by 30 within the 2 minute span. I thank the team at Innovative Results for helping me become a stronger and faster man, and when I come home I can’t wait to get into even better shape and compete in events.

From 355 pounds to 191 pounds and I’m ready for anything.

Semper Fidelis,

Anthony T. Mansfield.

 

Congratulations, and Best of Luck at Boot Camp Anthony!  The IR Team is so grateful to call you family!!
