Here's why the hours of sweat and tears you put into new training regimes never pays off.
I get it.
You feel like you've done all the right things.
Signed up to the gym. Committed to going 3 times a week. Maybe even got yourself a PT.
And when you throw in the cut down on bread, biscuits and crisps, sacrificing your social time, and maybe even your sleep by getting up early to train
It's no surprise you end up exhausted and deflated, very quickly.
So you sack it off. Re-kindle with your creature comforts, and re-group, considering how you'll do it differently next time.
But here's the kicker.
All you had to do to finally succeed was 3 things:
1) Make it more bearable
2) Not stop (because you made it more bearable)
3) Get to the bottom of this difficult question:
'If I'm doing all of this exercise, *why* am I not seeing results?'
The usual culprits:
- Your sleep is horrid
- You think you are in calorie deficit when you aren’t (or you eat like a child)
- You hate your job and are stressed
- You are constantly sedentary outside of your gym sessions
- You haven't stayed the course (impatience)
This final one is the single hardest message to drill into clients.
If you've been grafting for 6+ months and you feel fed up with lack of results? You just don't realise how close you are 😫
You already mastered the hardest part! Just make it easier to keep showing up:
- Shorter sessions
- Less sessions (eg. 2-3, not 4-6)
- At more convenient times
- With exercises you can try to enjoy
You don't embark on a fitness journey of going to the gym... so that eventually you can stop going to the gym because you 'made it'.
Make the hard work you've put in count for something by adapting your process.
