5 Steps To Get Fast Results in the Gym – Do You Go To The Gym or Do You Get Results?

May 27, 2016 by IR Staff 1 Comment

rebecca and ethan transformed their bodies with Innovative Results personal training Are you part of the 70% or more that go to the gym, but never change?

These people show up a few days a week, some more, but their bodies aren’t changing.

Why do they keep showing up at the gym?

Are they wasting their time?

I’m sure most of them figure that they are earning points for showing up…points with the doctor, their wife, their husband, status among friends or on social media check-ins

Some probably just show up out of habit or guilt.

Some of these reasons deal with other people…the ‘feeling like I have to go’ motivation, which is very weak in most cases, but most people’s motivation really stems at their own self esteem and ego about looking better.

There is major motivation there.

But if someone just feels like they need to lose some weight, and buys a gym membership, there is no connection or deep-seeded reason to create the discipline and consistent effort that is needed to change.

In order to get the fast, jaw dropping results, that we all desire, you are going to have to work…work hard…work consistently and probably have to make some serious lifestyle changes to make it happen.

Instead of just going to the gym, here are 5 steps to get fast results in the gym:

Orange County Workout Chris Six Pack AbsStep 1. Mindset – Write down your Key Fitness Goal. If you are gonna bust your but for six months or a year in the gym, get clear on what your main goal is for that time. What is your desired outcome? How do you want your body to look like, feel like, or perform like? What will change?

*the key when writing your goals the to use the SMART Goal method. It needs to be specific, measurable, ‘As if now’, realistic and time based. For example: Today is December 31st, 2016 and I, Aaron Guyett, have lost 15 pounds. Think about it and write the most important change down.

People are seriously emotional when it comes to eating, and most think of nutrition changes as some torturous and agonizing penalty that forces them to eat salads everyday of their life. Nothing could be further from the truth. When you really learn what is healthy, and how to properly integrate new foods into your lifestyle, you will be surprised how good healthy and whole food really is.

* The simplest way think of healthy eating is this: If GOD made it, eat it…or if it occurs in nature, eat it. If people messed with it, RUN! People have taken naturally occurring, amazing foods, and ruined them. We have ruined food by processing, pasteurizing, refining, adding, preserving, genetically modifying, adding chemicals, packaging, and the list can go on! The best cooks and athletes in the entire world only work with top quality ingredients and we should, too.

Gym in orange countyStep 3. Movement is the basis for exercise and most people spend their life at a desk, in a car and in front of the television. And we wonder why our backs and knees and ankles hurt. Most people need to get off the couch and go for a walk or get to the gym. When we belong to a gym, we either never go, or are inconsistent, losing intensity and progression when we are there. Innovative Results believes this comes from behaviors, habits, lack of motivation and lack of knowledge. If you are uncertain about starting to workout or how to change up your current plan, ask us for help. That is what we have spent the last 15 years getting right.

*If you do look to hire a personal trainer, fitness coach, and nutrition coach, please take the time to investigate a place and person that has proven results. Every local bodybuilder, gym rat or newbie fitness trainer does not understand the body, much less your body. If you look for advise, make sure the person is qualified and has experience dealing with people like yourself.

If you go from sitting behind a desk to working out three to five days per week, you are going to encounter some minor aches and pains. Working hard in the gym may create some soreness, muscle tightness and other aches and pains. There are a variety of recovery tactics that have worked wonders for myself and my clients. You can check them out here: Innovative Results Recovery.

* remember to start slow and listen to your body. Please take the time to learn movements correctly, and consult a physician if any pains last more than a few days or swelling occurs.

Step 5. Guidance and Coaching during your new program is essential. Having someone that can teach you, motivate, and encourage you during your fitness program will be a huge factor in your success. It is proven that working out with a partner increases your chances of success significantly! It will help you work harder, spot, correct, and make sure that you are doing things safely and properly.

* Find someone who will hold you accountable, so that you don’t get off track. Accountability and intelligent programming is key for faster results. Find somebody intelligent, that cares about you success, and listen to them to keep you focused.

I truly hope that these five steps helps you and motivates you more than the obstacles or temptations you may have.

When you work hard, and make huge progress, people WILL notice.

They will be motivated, and will look to you as an example.

You will earn an kind of instant respect from people that know you.

It will help you stand out from the crowd, and you will start to carry yourself more confidently.

Who knows, maybe you’ll get that promotion or raise!

Now go out there, kick butt, and make something great happen this week.

Thinking for a Change: Adapting a Fitness Plan to Your Crazy Life

September 28, 2011 by ptpt 8 Comments

When it comes to developing a fitness plan to lose weight, most people tend to rush into a fad diet, gym membership, tv gimmick or whatever they stumble across that seems to offer a solution.  The problem with this approach is that it typically leaves the person a few bucks lighter and not where they wanted to be.  Real results take time, adaptation and effort over time. Here are 3 simple tips to get on track, stay on track and making progress toward your goals.

1.  Understand where you are. Having a clear picture of your current situation helps you goal set and execute a plan that fits your needs, ability level and availability.  Simply diving into a high intensity workout program and a hardcore diet might work for the model in the magazine, but will probably leave the average joe defeated, frustrated and burnt out.

2.  Reflect along the way. Once you start working towards any goal, you have to take time to reflect, review and analyze your efforts.  What is working?  What is NOT working?  This is a critical step that very few trainers or coaches address when it comes to strength, conditioning and getting into shape.

3.  Stop talking and start moving. A bad plan executed is better than a great plan on paper.  Now, maybe your plan seemed great on paper and life got in the way.  Oh well, welcome to the club.  That’s why you reflect, adapt and make changes to improve your situation.

Here are some questions that may help you on your path to fitness success:

Do I have a clear fitness goal to work towards over the next 3 months? This could be a race, event, weight goal, bodyfat, etc. Once you have a clear objective, then it becomes easier to work backwards and set weekly, smaller goals to make sure you are staying on track.  For example, if your 3 month goal is to lose 15lbs, then you know that you need to lose 5lbs/month, or a little over 1lb/week.  Simple, right?

Did I workout today? I typically recommend people exercise or move daily, even if its just a walk.  We were designed to move, so sitting in the car, couch or in front of the computer all day isnt gonna help any of us get healthier.  Reminding yourself to move daily is a great start, while other athletes may be focused on more detailed exercise regimens.

Did my meals reflect my fitness goals? This can be a great addition to keeping a food log.  Recording your food intake helps all of us become more conscious of our eating habits.  It is pretty easy to look at a week’s worth of food and see problematic habits.  Missing meals, poor food choices, sweets, snacks, drinks, and other bad choices are easy to spot.

Did I communicate with my team, coach or support group? We all need support when we are chasing a goal.   Surrounding yourself with a good support team is vital for long term success.  So, if don’t have someone to hold you accountable, then find someone quickly! It can be a friend, loved one, coach, trainer, support group or a workout partner.  The key is that they understand your goal, why its important to you and they are willing to hold you accountable along the way.  So, once that person (or group) is in place, make sure to communicate with them daily.  Talk about successes, difficulties and ask questions along the way.

Did I read or watch something inspiring today? Once the emotion of your initial decision has passed, you have to keep the flame alive daily.  New healthy habits can be difficult when life gets busy, kids are sick, work is crazy, you’re traveling, etc.  Life gets in the way.  The good news is that the web is full of inspiring videos, stories, pictures and articles.  I’ve also found it helpful to read more books.  Find a few things that move you and keep them close.  Whenever you need a little pick me up, read a new article or watch a great video.

Did I take time for myself today? Working out and eating well doesn’t complete the puzzle.  Most of us are busy, stressed and pulled in a hundred directions.  Taking a few minutes of “me” time is important for our physical and mental health.  Maybe its 5 minutes of controlled breathing, a manicure, a massage, reading a book, a walk on the beach, or whatever makes your mind relax.

Did I learn any lessons from today? Being healthy is a lifestyle, so we are constantly learning what works, what doesn’t and how to adjust our habits to fit our current situation.  Keep tabs on each days events and how they helped you or hurt you.  Maybe you learned a new exercise, a new recipe or met a person that inspired you.

These are just a few questions to help you reflect.  As you develop a specific plan for yourself, take some time and create specific questions that apply to your journey.  Review them daily, weekly and monthly to make sure you are on track, moving in the right direction and making progress.

Just because you are busy doesn’t mean you’re productive.

If you need help, all you gotta do is ask!  Innovative Results’ program helps people mentally, physically, and provides unparalleled support to help you look better, feel better and perform at your best.

Gym Memberships Are a Scam and Workout Videos Are for Suckers

November 6, 2009 by ptpt 2 Comments

AlexCAbout 90% of people that I’ve seen over the years never change.

They show up a few days a week, some more, but their bodies don’t change at all.

Why do they keep coming in?

Are they wasting their time?

I’m sure most of them figure that they are earning points for showing up to the gym..points with the doctor, their wife/husband, status among friends or whatever..some probably just show up out of habit or guilt.  Most of these reasons deal with other people…the ‘feeling like I have to go’ motivation, which is very weak in most cases.  but most people’s motivation really stems at their own self esteem and ego about looking better.

Tell a woman that she has to put on a bikini in front of 600 people and she will make the change. There is major motivation there.  But if someone just feels like they need to lose some weight and buys a gym membership, there is no connection or deep seeded motivation to create the discipline and consistent effort that is needed.

In order you to get the fast, jaw dropping results,  that we all desire, you are going to have to work…work hard…work consistently and probably gonna have to make some serious lifestyle changes to make it happen.  So here are 5 things you will have to think about.

ir_3_nutrition_prep1. Write down the Desired Result! If you are gonna bust your ass for three months in the gym, what do you wanna do it for?  What is your desired outcome?  How do you want your body to look? What will change?

*the key when writing your goals the to use the SMART method. It needs to be specific, measurable, ‘as if now’, realistic and time based.  For example: Today is December 31st, 2009 and I, Corey Beasley, can squat 400lbs.  Now think about it, write them all down and we can move onto step 2.

2. Nutrition is the most misunderstood, most important factor you will deal with. People are seriously emotional when it comes to eating and most think of dieting as some torturous, agonizing penalty that forces them to eat salads everyday of their life.  Nothing could be further from the truth.  When you really learn what is healthy and how to properly integrate new foods into your lifestyle, you will be surprised how good food really is.

* The most simple way think of healthy eating is this: If GOD made it, eat it.  or If it occurs in nature, eat it. The more we (man) touches it, RUN!  Man has taken naturally occurring, amazing foods and has ruined it.  Processing, pasteurizing, refining, adding to, preserving, genetically modifying, adding chemicals to and basically screwing it all up! The best cooks in the entire world only work with top quality ingredients and you should too.

Orange County personal trainer brings a unqiue approach to getting in shape3. Movement is the basis for exercise and most people spend their life at a desk, in a car and in front of the television.  Gee, I wonder why everyone’s back hurts…hmmm. Most people just need to blow their ass off the couch and go for a walk.  Others may belong to a gym, but either never go, are inconsistent or they have no intensity when they are there.  I think this comes from a lack of motivation and knowledge.  If you are uncertain about starting to workout or how to change up your current plan, ask for help!  There is information all over the place!

*If you do look to hire a professional trainer, please take the time to investigate a good personal trainer or strength coach.  Every local bodybuilder, gym rat or newbie fitness trainer does not understand the body, much less your body.  If you look for advise, make sure the person is qualified and has experience dealing with people like yourself.

recovery techniques4. Recovering from your newly found lifestyle.  If you go from sitting behind a desk to working out 3-5 days per week, you are going to encounter some minor aches and pains.  Working hard in the gym may create some soreness, muscle tightness and other aches and pains.  There are a variety of recovery tactics that have worked wonders for myself, like massages, ice, heat, contrast showers and many more.

* remember to start slow and listen to your body.  Please take the time to learn movements correctly and consult a physician if any pains last more than a few days or swelling occurs.

5. Guidance during your new program is essential. Having someone that can teach you, motivate and push you during your program will be a huge factor in your success.  It is proven that working out with a partner increases your chances for success significantly!  It always makes you work harder, spot, correct and make sure that you are doing things safely and properly.

* Find someone who will hold you accountable so that you don’t get off track.  You have proven up to this point that you don’t have the self discipline to do it on your own, so find somebody good and have them keep you focused this time. 🙂

So, why is it that you go to the gym?  Do you have it written down?

I truly hope that it motivates you more than the obstacles or temptations you may have. Cuz, believe me, when you work hard and make huge progress, people WILL notice.  They will be motivated and will look to you as an example.  You will earn an kind of instant respect from people that know you.  It will help you stand out from the crowd and you may start to carry yourself more confidently.  Who knows, maybe you’ll even get a new job or even a raise!

Now go out there, kick butt and make something great happen this week.
