Why You’re Still Fat!
Wednesday, June 17th, 2009
When I was a personal trainer I was constantly hounded by people asking me why they were not seeing the results they wanted, even though they were working out on a daily basis. My simple and often dreaded response was: You not working hard enough.
Unaware to most people is the fact that your body does not want to change. Thus the reason why most people really never see any real significant changes in their body composition. They never quite end up looking the way they truly want to look. But they could, and they most certainly could in a relative short period of time. In fact, if you do what I’m about to propose, you could litterally see changes in your body in a matter of weeks. But before we get into that, I want you realize something very important.
Pain, discomfort, and stress are a good thing and should be embraced. Most people shy away form this very thing, which is why their results end up sub par. When it comes to working out, you must strive to feel them if you want to see results fast. When you feel discomfort and stress it means your body is reaching it’s threshold for your body’s current makeup. This is also where most people stop because well quite frankly, it hurts. However, it is this stress and discomfort that causes your body to change and change fast.
The next time you workout I want to intensify your workout and embrace the discomfort you feel. This is the stress that is neccesary to force your body to adapt to whatever it is you are doing. The secret to looking good naked is to constantly do things that cause the greatest amount of stress on your body in a safe and effective way. This stress causes the hormonal shifts you need to make to get the body you truly want. Your hormones are the biggest factor in deciding your body composition and what it does with the food you consume.
Yes, diet does play a part and I will discuss more on that later, but the single biggest thing you can do when it comes to looking good naked is intensifying your workout and pushing past your pain threshold. This is what forces your body to change. Get to this threshold and push past it and you will see noticeable results in a matter of weeks not months. Remeber you body will not change quickly if you do not push past it’s current self imposed limit. Embrace discomfort, it’s a signal to your body that it’s time to change.
In case you’re curious, this is how you should look after a workout.
