Exercise Training: How do you know when you’re ready?

As a trainer, I have people coming to me constantly asking questions. What do I eat? How do I get this physique or that one? How did the latest celebrity get in such great shape for that role? The list goes on and on. If I am allowed to be completely honest right now, I get really tired of answering questions because the answers fall on deaf ears. What do I mean by that? I’ll elaborate.

The Answer and then what?

I can provide answers all day to fitness questions. I love to answer them, but why don’t people take action once their question is answered? It drives me crazy! I am under the impression most people are
‘in love” with the idea of being fit, but few want to be fit. I can tell people countless times, “eat this” to lose weight or concentrate on this amount of reps to build muscle, but many never do. Why is that? I’ll be the first to admit its hard to change and I think it is the deal breaker for some. Am I right? I think I’ll quit giving advice to people until they are ready for it.

How do you know when you are ready?

How do you when you are ready? I can tell you right now:

• Working out becomes priority

• Eating right becomes priority

• No more excuses

Here is the difference between the people you see on weight loss success stories and those you don’t: Successful people do the things failures don’t like to do.
