https://salutis.kartra.com/page/Iyq450 Sometimes it’s hard to stick to a workout program, isn't it? Especially when you - Struggle with motivation Feel like you never have time There are so many choices of workouts Feel like you need “variety” … To name but a few reasons why. Here’s how I do it - maybe you’ll find it helpful from someone who’s been working out / training for 35 years - through and around injuries… while traveling… under times of major life stresses… 1- Get a VISION There’s a great quote I love - “Where there is no vision, the people perish.” A vision is a picture of how you want things to be that you can see in your imagination. Make it as clear as possible. Then, walk toward it - one step, one task at a time. 2- Be an UNDERACHIEVER … And do the bare minimum Most people think about doing “all the things they should do" and either get overwhelmed and freeze up… … Or get started on “all the things,” then fail because… Life. Doing the bare minimum is “easy” - so easy, you feel almost like an idiot for NOT doing it. Something like 10 to 15, maybe even 20 minutes… Warm Up: 5 minutes Main Session: 10-15 minutes Cool Down: 5 minutes Total minimum time: 20 minutes This builds your “consistency” muscle. Remember, consistency - not effort or intensity - is King. 3- Hold yourself accountable Integrity is like a muscle - the more you use it, the stronger it gets. One of the easiest ways to remain “in integrity” with yourself - doing what you say you’re going to do, is to hold yourself accountable to someone or something. Tell a like-minded friend or spouse about your vision - your goals. Set up a consequence for not doing what you say you’re going to do. Pay $100 to a charity of your choice, for example. Or if you need negative re-enforcement - an organization you DON’T agree with. Yet another way to hold yourself accountable is to pay for a professionally designed program instead of trying to come up with one yourself, or find “freebies” on the interwebz. For the best of “bare minimum” and “holding yourself accountable,” I recommend Kettlebell W.O.D. It’s a simple 5x a week plan - 20 minutes a day. For 53 weeks. I’ll leave a link in the video description below for you to check it out. https://salutis.kartra.com/page/Iyq450 People - especially busy, formerly athletic guys LOVE it because, with “minimal effort,” they see dramatic results. They get significantly stronger. They get shockingly better conditioned - some even passing the SFG 5-Minute Snatch Test - 100 Snatches in 5 minutes - 24kg for men (16kg for women). And many are blown away at how simply showing up for 20 minutes a day - Almost like "practice"... Makes them leaner - looser fitting pants, and develops a much more muscular upper body - upper back, shoulders and arms. So remember - Vision, Consistency, and Accountability will all keep you on the straight and narrow and before you know it, you’ll be a leaner, stronger, better conditioned version of your current self. Stay Strong, Geoff
