Wednesday Motivation!!!! By Mike Jones - ACSM, CPT
I want to speak to everyone about the 4 components of Results! These aren't exact scientific components or laws because YOU at the end of the day write your own. But I want to share with you my 4 major components I feel was the road to my success in life, pros, getting results period. I don't expect you to follow these but at INFINITY PERSONAL TRAINING we EXPECT you to HAVE and KNOW you own components.
1. Technical
- proper form while working out, attention to detail, injury prevention, posture, food intake habits, hours of sleep, having the right shoes that support your ankle, the "talking" of what you need to do to get results.
2. Tactical
-preparing meals before/after work, warm-up, proper clothing for workout/measurements, Nutrition meetings, 1-on-1 training plan, shopping for hand gloves, bring your brace or doctor prescribed things, vitamins, protein, MFP journaling, the "how" you plan to carry things to get results.
Example 1: if I have an injury, specific weight loss goal by a set time/month/year/wedding/parents/keep up with kids, etc.. is it more beneficial for me to be doing 1-on-1 or Group classes???
Example 2: If I'm preparing to compete against people, need motivation while training, wondering if anyone relates to you in the gym/level wise/weight wise/situation wise, etc...is to more beneficial for me to be doing 1-on-1 or Group classes???
3. Physical
-Do you need Strength, Endurance, Weight loss, Weight gain, want to be Tone, work on Core not Abs, or just want to be stronger in general, and any other specific body changes.
4. Mental
- Confidence, Accepting failures, Defeating yourself and anyone who doubts you, How you take positive/negative compliments and reinforcement, being able to fall way behind and find a way back to the top, dealing with a plateau, cut out certain foods that are keeping you away, you will to try something new to get results, you are willing to accept what you did before didn't work so now there is a new solution in front of you, you willing to step outside your box, you willing to stay and make changes if your not getting results OR will you quit (This is the biggest hurdle and most important component out of them all!!!!)
At the end of the day, here at Infinity Personal Training, we set the bar, provide a baseline, give you guidelines to follow, and get your foot in the door to success...the rest is up to you to be and stay consistent. You are you own worst enemy. Sometimes we're so busy putting up a fight against everyone/everything else that's not the issue, rather than owning up to the fact that the issue is sometimes ourselves. We will put up a fight to keep you accountable and on target, but don't overlook your own personal components to get your results!
