People that reach their goals all have one thing in common. They chose the training program that fits them and they put in all their effort without any distractions. Be one of these people and you will see amazing results
Chose a goal
Why are you going to train? To look better, be healthier or compete in a specific sport. Whatever you chose don't let anything distract you.
The reason is that you produce far better results when you focus. For example, building muscle and burning fat require opposite approaches. The one requires more calories and the other less. For a average person it takes about 3500 calories to build muscle and 2200 calories to lose fat.
Choose a training program
Choose a program that fits you best. It must suit your goal and fit into your schedule. A simpler program that you stick to is better than a complicated one that you quit. To lose fat focus on shorter rest periods between exercises and perform more cardio. Sprinting is one of the best exercises to burn fat.
Avoiding bad foods is vital to your success.
You can never out train a bad diet. It's vital that you understand the effect that foods have on your body. The foods you eat will result in the way you look regardless of how hard you train. If the food is in its natural state then its probably healthy. If it has been processed then it should be avoided. Some people avoid carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are not the problem. The problem is too many calories from the wrong carbohydrates.
Work smart and have a target.
Don't jump around looking for the next best diet or training program. Stick to your plan for the duration of the program and give it 100% of your effort. Don't let anything distract you. We all fall for looking for the perfect program and we jump from one program to the next. The perfect program is the one that you stick to. Focusing all your efforts is the key to success.
The Compounding Effect
Have you heard that 100% perfect decisions result in 100% perfect results but 99% perfect decisions result in 70% results. That's the effect of compounding. Each good choice you make has a multiplication effect on the results of your next choice. A bad choice will result not only in bad results now but a knock on effect of your future choices and results. Don't become fanatical but focus and chose wisely.
