FYI – TODAY IS MAY 2nd – ONLY 23 days to Memorial Day Weekend!
Most people try to battle their belly fat all by themselves. Now, some people are very self motivated and can actually make these changes happen, but they are VERY few and far between. Internal motivation is tough to get, and hard to maintain if you are not naturally predisposed to it. This is the kind of motivation that I usually see in the athletes I work with. Usually my sessions run 30mins, and if I tell them to run all of Queens Blvd in 20 minutes to finish off their workouts by themselves, they will.
Most people will not . . . unless they are in a group.
People will run through all of New York City in a group! Social support is the biggest aspect of fat loss that most people do not get. Let everyone know what you are trying to achieve. Get yourself a friend to workout with and eat some healhy lunches with a couple of times a week. Just having one person there will help push you much further to your goals, just make sure you have the same mindset. Most people fail because they go at this all alone.
Here is how to begin creating social support:
- Let people close to you know what you are trying to achieve – they will support you
- Get a partner to workout wih
- Go out and eat some healthy meals a few times a week with people in the same mindset
- No one around? Go online and log your information, workouts, meals on an online forum – these are usually really helpful because everyone is anonymous, and all going for similar goals.
Remember the old saying – “If a tree falls in the forest, and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?” – Make some noise about your goals, and this will definitely help increase your motivation!
I am taking this one step further and going to train people in groups to increse their results. Now imagine working in a group with the guidance of a professional, now you are truly in a position to rapidly change your body!
