You have to decide that what we want from ourselves will require more than a passing thought or urge. It will demand that we refocus and retool all the necessary components to get the job done. When we survey and take stock of our health, our appearance, our weight, our endurance, and all things that have brought us to this point of evaluation and direction to correct. I first like to look over the way I look. If you want to look better you must learn to hate being stuck in the same place. We have, actually “hate” what we see. This is a real starting point—to desire to. get off the time and do something about our broken selves. We have to stop, “settling” for what we have and believe. and learn what to do to change our poor self-image. Next, we have to take stock of our health. It’s a good idea to get a medical evaluation to be sure that you are in good enough health to take on the work that will be required to change our appearance and lives. Letting a medical professional evaluate you and clear you/me to begin our assault on change. Listen carefully to see what modifications need to be made to incorporate into the program. The medical evaluation will guide us to be safe as we progress. I recommend staying in touch with your provider during the entire process in order to clinically measure your progress. Be sure you write down your weight and work with your medical provider to establish your desired or ideal weight. Weigh yourself daily using same scale with the same type of clothes. Be sure that you establish and metric to measure progress in your endurance. Measure such things as time done with each exercise, number of reps with weights related to each exercise etc.
The above steps are critical. All these helps us to determine various goals, Write the goals down and put them in bold and obvious places as a reminder of where you are going and the current status of your progress.
Now, we put together a plan to get to our goal(s). This is where the waging of the actual “War on Ourselves” begins. It’s you against you. Whatever you see broken or improving is always on the table. I have a formula for consistency that may help: “I TRAIN 6 DAYS PER WEEK X 1.5 HOURS PER WORKOUT). Then, determine what you do with each training session. For instance, Mondazay is Chest Days. Tuesday is strictly Arm Day hitting Biceps and Triceps. Wednesday is Leg Day. Thursday is Shoulder Day. Friday is a Pulling Day for Lats and Upper Chest. Saturday is strictly Cardio. But, please note that 30 minutes of cardio per day all other days. Sunday, Rest and take all measurements. This is just a thumbnail workout schedule to get you started.
To close let me emphasize that nothing you do is attained by half-ass effort! You have to envision your goals and get after it. Remember, “NOBODY IS GOING TO DO IT FOR YOU” You are the “Captain of your ship.” Nobody does it better and winning is all there is. You have to determine what winning looks like and how badly you want it.
Bottom Line: Get started! Don’t look back! Let nobody talk you out of your effort.
The best to you always
