6 Keys To Success

There really is no BIG secret to getting results
with your health and fitness program.  You do
need, however, the right ingredients and a great
coach.  Because the real secret is your ability to
implement on all levels.  The real secret is to
Take Action!

The reason people struggle to lose weight, get in
shape, and make it last a lifetime is that they
are lacking one or more of the following key
ingredients.  And leaving any of them out is
literally like trying to cook bread without an
oven…

Here are the 6 key ingredients in no particular
order:

1. You need strength training at least two days
per week, and three is better. And this is serious
strength training. Not the stuff you see other
people doing at the gym. You need strength
training programs that cycle your training, build
muscle, and keep your body fine tuned like an
athlete. No, you don’t have to be young or be an
athlete like the ones you see on TV. But you do
have to approach the process in the same way and
challenge yourself the way they do to be
successful.

2. You need cardiovascular exercise every day for
a total of at least 150 minutes per week. No
exceptions! No excuses. And no circuit training
for goodness sake. Sorry ladies, Curves doesn’t cut
it!

3.  You must must must…..
eat 5-6 balanced meals throughout the day, take
your vitamins, and stop eating junk food. And
don’t worry, when you’re eating right, all the
junk food won’t hold any power over you anymore
because you’ll feel a ton better and won’t crave
it anymore.

You need all three of these things working for you
to maximize your results. What happens most often
is that people have one or two of them going and
then wonder why it’s not working.

The other problem is that they are often not
working hard enough during their exercise, and
this can really hinder progress. Another great
reason to have a trainer and a coach who can push
you.

The next 3 keys to success are:

1. Accountability, this is a biggie for me!!!
2. Expert Guidance and plan of action that you can
follow-this is where our monthly check-in’s come in.
3. A solid support structure in the form of us
your coaches and the rest of the community of
people who are on the same path.

Stay focused and train hard!
