Sunday Story…It Only Works

When you do. Look this really is simple…when you work you get results. If your doctor gives you an antibiotic to clear up an infection but you never fill the prescription or take the pills they won’t work. You will still have an infection.
If you show up to work out and just put in a half effort you won’t get results. You will continue to be unfit. This is the fallacy of our modern times. You have been told all you need to do is 40 minutes of “exercise” 3 times a week and you will be fit. This is pure unadulterated balderdash. If your current level of fitness is lying on the couch all day then, yes, walking for 40 minutes will be an improvement. But if you are showing up at the gym to just dialing your work out you are not doing the work.

If you get a nutrition prescription and don’t follow it, please don’t blame the nutritionist, the advice, and the food. Go in the bathroom, look in the mirror and lay the blame where it belongs.

This is not rocket science. Your fitness will improve when you pick up heavier stuff than you did last week. Your health will improve when you eat better food (and/or drink less alcohol) than you did last week. These things work when you do.

Decide what results you want. Make a plan, follow it, and work hard. Your results will be determined by the level of commitment and work you put in. When you work good things happen. And remember…If it doesn’t challenge you it won’t change you!
