Monday Tip: 🚫 Stop Exercising. 💪 Start Training

🚫 Stop Exercising. 💪 Start Training

“We don’t rise to the level of our expectations, we fall to the level of our training.” -Archilochus

As we near the end of January when many people have already given up on their resolutions, are you finding yourself in an exercise rut while you're working toward your new lifestyle change? Well, then, stop exercising! 😲

◽️ Exercise is one of those temporary solutions to the permanent issue. You need to start training.️
🆚
◾️ Training is ongoing. You will constantly be training to be in better physical shape, to stay in better physical shape, or to accomplish a specific goal.

Let's say you have a goal to run a 1/2 marathon. Is doing the same run every day going to get you there? Not a chance. It might help with your short term goals, but in order to keep improving, you need to plan your steps along the way to cross the finish line in the end. A plan would not only include increasing your strength and endurance, but also a nutrition plan to help with energy and recovery. This is training. Once you're have the ability to run a ½, the possibility to run a full marathon is well within reach and you'll be so excited at what you've accomplished so far that you'll be thirsty for more. So, you begin to train harder, run longer, and push yourself past all plateaus.

✴ When you join a gym, research how their trainers have helped their clients succeed. Did they tailor a specific plan for their clients’ goals? Or did they step back and watch them as they did the same run and lifted the same weights every day? Were they as invested in their clients’ improvements or was it another paycheck? If you're going to invest the time and work, you want to be sure they're doing the same.

✳ Whether you are currently training with us or just thinking about it, we want to make sure that we are holding each other equally accountable. Our mission is to help every client reach their health and fitness goals. We want you to become the healthiest version of yourself you can be. With that in mind, we promise to continue to push you to reach your goals and never give up on you if you, in turn, promise never to give up on yourself.

Andrea has been at IPT since July of 2023 and has been the definition of consistency! She always makes adjustments to her nutrition and exercise when needed and pushes herself in workouts every single time. Each month she exceeds her goal of losing body fat mass, and has lost a total of 24lbs of BFM since joining! She's able to chest press 25 lb dumb bells and can do a full pushup without any assistance now. You can really see the difference in how Andrea carries herself and the confidence she has now compared to her first day at IPT. She completely transformed her life for the better!

Rey has been here since early June & has never missed a session! He's on-point with his tracking for nutrition and always does his cardio. He has hit every goal since he started and has lost 49.6 lbs of body fat mass and gained 3.8 lbs of skeletal muscle mass. Down from 48.9% BF to 36.6% BF. The health of his knees has improved drastically and he continues to have an exceptionally positive attitude!

Hi, my name is Dylan and I’ve been at IPT since December of 2022, and my fitness habits have greatly improved since then! Since I started at IPT, I’ve been consistent with all of my workouts at the gym, my workouts outside of the gym, and my nutrition. I’ve lost 13.2 pounds of body fat, and have gotten stronger and faster with every session. My training at IPT has helped me to throw a no-hitter this baseball season as well as decrease my 40 yard sprint time!
