Strip the Fat Off Consistently by Anticipating Problems and Developing Flexibility

It's amazing how many people write in with excuses as to why they can't eat right or work out or any number of things because of inconveniences.

I'll tell you what? Stop bulls***ting yourself, and you'll dramatically improve your body.

Planning is crucial to success. You've heard it a million times- "if you fail to plan, you plan to fail".

This saying has been beaten to death, but it's still true.

"Yeah, but even when I plan my days, something always comes up"

Yes, even with the best laid out plans, you will come across some obstacles- but what you do when you come across those obstacles makes all the difference in the world. Do you fold in the face of the boss' order to stay late, or do you step up your game and go to plan B?

You need to anticipate obstacles.

You need to develop flexibility. Flexibility is having a plan B. And a plan C.

Flexibility can be simply carrying a protein bar with you, so that in case the boss orders you to stay late, you can fuel up with something of decent quality instead of ordering pizza or Chinese food.

Flexibility can be performing a bodyweight exercise circuit when you find out the gym in the hotel you're staying at is closed for repairs.

Don't let inconveniences ruin your momentum. Step up and use your flexibility.

Train Specifically for Your Goal

Train for your goal.

Train toward the result you want.

If you want to run a marathon, train like you're going to run a marathon.

If you want to lose fat, train to lose fat.

If you want to add muscle and get strong, train for it.

Any goal, no matter what it is, has a direct path A- B. There's a BEST way to train, and there's everything else. The BEST way is the most effective and efficient. Too many people get caught up in training in too many directions.

If you're trying to add muscle and get strong, learn exactly how to do it, then go do it. What are you doing on the treadmill? Just because there are machines in the gym doesn't mean they all move you closer to your goal.

Don't "try out" a machine because it "looks cool". That's a waste of time. Find out what exercise, weights, machines you need and focus on those. If you're trying to lose fat, stick to ONE diet until you get to your goal. Don't try one diet for a week, decide it's not working, then try another diet.

Find an effective, efficient program, and stick to it.

Applying the Principle of Compound Interest for Weight Loss Success

Where you are today is the result of what you've done every day since you were born. Whether you are fit or fat is a reflection of your habits. Your eating habits, your exercise habits, your mental habits.

The way you look in the mirror right now is the culmination of those habits over a certain period of time. The further your body is from where it should be usually correlates to how long you've had certain bad habits or simply no good habits in place.

By looking in the mirror you can get a rough idea of your habits over the past year or so. If you're over weight, you may have the habit of over eating, or eating low quality foods. Perhaps you have a habit of not exercising when you should?

Lets go back on that year and apply some of these Good Habits to Cultivate for Super Health and Fat Loss

Where would you be right now had you cultivated some of those simple habits?

Would you weigh 10 pounds less? Would you be more active, perhaps taking on new challenges you wouldn't be able to without all that extra energy?

Now is the time to start. If you follow the instructions in that article, I promise you things will start to change by leaps and bounds.

From Wikipedia: "Compound interest is the concept of adding accumulated interest back to the principal, so that interest is earned on interest from that moment on."

So where does the Principle of Compound Interest apply?

Well, when you start to exercise and eat clean on a regular basis, you start to make small changes in the body. You're putting in your time and earning back a decent return in fat loss. Maybe a 1% improvement per day. By consistently following the good habits, that 1% starts to compound in the body.

This is the magic of the body. After a while, the biochemical processes of the body change. Your mind and body is reconditioned to a new standard. Soon the return on your habits are far more than 1% per day. The body gets used to burning more and more fat. It also gets conditioned not to store fat.

The payoff is an overall change in the body on the outside and inside.

For instance, the phenomena of vascularization. In Fitness: The Complete Guide, Dr. Hatfield tells of a test done by a researcher who set a weight on the floor and tied a rope to it. The other side of the rope was looped around the middle finger on his right hand. In time to a metronome, he began to lift the weight with his finger. The first time, and for many weeks after, the best he could do was 25 reps.

One day about 2 months later, the researched began the usual lifting, but he wasn't tired at 25. He kept going until he reached 100 reps! The researchers finger had undergone vascularization in response to the adaptive stress of exercise. More blood vessels opened up in the finger, creating new routes for delivering more oxygen. The blood vessels don't open up one at a time, but by whole networks!

This phenomena is bound to happen throughout your body to some extent when you're exercising properly. Not only does the exercise become easier, it becomes more tolerable. Your threshold for exercise goes way up, and heading to the gym becomes second nature like brushing your teeth.

Think of the possibilities your life can have if you actually enjoyed exercise and eating clean?

You can have it all if you simply cultivate those good habits!

Want Results? Take Action!

If you want results- any results, the bottom line is that you MUST take action.

You can sit down and read all the information on the internet about getting lean, losing weight, starting a business, whatever... It's not going to amount to a hill of beans if you don't MOVE.

Any time you get an idea take action.
Any time you get excited about the idea of finally losing those 50 pounds, take action.

It doesn't matter what action. Just take action.

Once you're in motion, you'll stay in motion. While you're in motion, you can figure out the best actions to take.

Each time you physically move and take an action toward the achievement of your goal, you condition yourself in a way that makes it easier next time.

Each time you DON'T physically move and take an action toward your goal, you condition yourself in a way that makes it more difficult next time.

When you get an idea or get inspired about something, MOVE.
