This Is Why You Are Failing At Fitness

This is why you are failing at fitness.

1. You are expecting to look like this person in the photo. This is the standard set by social media (I could have used a picture of a ripped woman and this is not wrong if you want to look that way but this is not necessary to succeed).

2. You think you need to train hard 5-6 times per week for at least 60 minutes at a time. This is rigid-based thinking.

3. You think you need to do fasted cardio and eat meals out of Tupperware 5 times per day.

4. You put the training before your life and believe there will be no obstacles to get in your way.

5. You think fitness has to be the most important thing in your life because of what Johnny Biceps says on social media.

This is fine if you are younger, have no kids, and don't have many of life's stressors yet.

But when you're working long hours, you're hitting middle age and above or you have 1-3 kids, life is a lot different.

Here's a better approach.

1. Train 2-3 good quality sessions per week and only do more if you have the time and energy.

2. Be more flexible with your training sessions. Everything counts. If you can only do 10 minutes, do 10 minutes.

3. Use lifestyle-friendly food. There's no need to be eating chicken and broccolli every day.

4. Realise that self-care is important but your fitness should not come before the person. You have a life outside of fitness.

5. Realise that the gym is not the only training solution.

As Professor James Stubbs states - "We live in a world where we have a cornucopia of choices".

Use walking, yoga, boxing, climbing, cycling or whatever it is you enjoy.

You do not have to throw the kitchen sink at your fitness to get results. You are trying to achieve results using methods that don't fit your current lifestyle.

This kills motivation quickly.

Look at your life and figure out how to incorporate fitness and nutrition into that.

Be more flexible, less rigid, or as my old mate Bruce Lee said -

"Be like water my friend".
