Are There Shortcuts?
By now, I’m sure you have figured out where I’m going with this. Hands down, the questions we get the most are variations of the following:
“How can I drop “X” lbs fast?”
“I need to drop “X” lbs for [enter in some life] in two weeks.”
“How can I lose my belly fat quickly?”
“Is there something I can take to speed up my results ?”
While there are things that can help, the short more realistic answer is…THERE ARE NO SHORTCUTS. I promise you we are not holding on to some secret formula that we only release under specific circumstances. Trust me…if we had one, we would be using it!
To achieve weight loss results, hit strength goals, increase endurance, etc, you have to put in the work and be willing to take action on your coaches' recommendations. The problem is we are constantly told differently. I recently wrote an article on the pitfalls of fitness magazines and how they are full of deception (click here to read). We also see commercials with all sorts of diet programs that promise weight loss FAST.
Are there people that lose weight fast? Sure. They are always outliers. We also almost know the whole story of these miracle weight loss stories. We don’t know their injuries or the lack thereof, their sleep schedule, their stress level, how much time they can devote to cooking, how often they workout and at what intensity. It may look like they have some shortcut or some secret answer but what if it’s something else? I’m here to tell you the ACTUAL secret to getting results. Are you ready???
CONSISTENCY
There is it. The holy grail of answers. If you consistently do what is necessary to reach your goals, you will reach them. Yes, I know it’s not easy to do but that’s the formula. Consistency equals results. Anyone that I’ve seen get great results has got consistency down to a science. They consistently get their workouts in. They consistently eat right for their goals. They consistently drink water. They consistently focus on what they are trying to achieve. And they get the results.
So what should you do with this information? Start with what you are trying to achieve. And reverse engineer it. How many days do you need to workout? How do you need to eat? How much sleep do you need? Etc. Once you have what you need to do, plan out how you will do it. Let’s say you plan to workout 4 days a week. But you can’t make it to your session that day. Go to Plan B! Drop and do 20 burpees. Will you burn as much calories as if you had done a full session? No. Will you have burned more calories than had you not done it? Yup. You stayed consistent, which will help you stay committed. Often we get off our game for one day and then say “Forget it…I’ll start again Monday”. By being consistent, you create a habit and an expectation of yourself. And THAT’S how you get results.
