WARNING: The following piece while mostly true is purely for entertainment purposes (and I make no guarantees.) It has absolutely no relevance to your health or fitness. It is purely a rant and has no real redeeming qualities.  It is not for the faint of heart- you have been warned.

This last weekend I turned 36.  Time to take stock in my life and reflect on what I have blah blah blah. I got plenty and I’m doing just fine, that’s not what this is about.

As trite and cliche as it might sound, consistency is the greatest determinant of success in fitness, and probably life too.  Out of all the clients I have trained, the ones that have been the most successful are not the ones who worked out the hardest, or even the ones that were genetically gifted.  It is always the ones that were the most consistent. 

This little tidbit really ties into the previous topic: Not enough time. The vast majority of people simply do not have enough “spare” time.  And pretty much everyone needs to make fitness & health a priority. So what we are left with is a need to workout and yet seemingly not enough time to do it properly. So how can one reconcile the two? I’ll tell you - treat your training like an investment.

We are all pressed for time. No matter what it always seems like there is never enough time in the day to get down what needs to get done. Yes we all feel a time crunch.

When a prospective client comes to me and says they don’t have time to workout but still want to get in shape, I know they are full of crap. I can almost see the crap in their eyes. They want to justify why they are in the shape they are in. Ok, I can understand that.
