Tony has a unique view on what it takes to get the job done, stay healthy and get fit. He follows the 11 laws of fitness that he’s come up with. In theory they are all simple concepts. But when you fit them all together, following these ‘rules’ of thumb in your approach to your fitness goals they can become serious motivators!
My next installment of going over Tony’s 11 laws is Consistency. One of the key factors in seeing results and your long term overall health is consistency. The more you do something, the more you are getting into the ‘game’ so to speak the body will respond better. You’ll find the same concept with people dieting. The ‘yo-yo’ effect where they go on these crash diets and lose 10 – 15 pounds and then within no time they gain it all right back. Why? First and foremost they stop doing what is right and that is consistently eating healthy. The same can be said for working out. If you are always stopping and starting a workout program or trying to be a ‘weekend’ warrior and catch up on your workouts, it isn’t going to work. This in the long run will do more harm than anything.
As humans, we are creatures of habit. I’ve found that over the past year and a 1/2 doing workout programs such as P90x, Insanity, TurboFire, Chalean Extreme, and more that I’ve made working out a habit for me. This is a good habit to get into. It creates that consistency that is required to get the job done. One trick i think that works is finding a set time to workout each day/night if possible. I find that this approach has worked for me because I know each day when I’m going to be getting the groove on. It is good from time to time to switch the timing up, but try to be consistent with it.
One factor that I also find in giving you the motivation to create the consistency needed to press play each day is having fun at what you are doing. Who’s going to want to workout if they aren’t having some enjoyment of what they are doing. So find that program, that workout regime that will allow you to be consistent. Want to discuss it further then contact me. Love to talk more about helping you create that consistency.
Decide. Commit. Succeed!
