Work before success
Now then all,
Hope you all had a great weekend. It has been pretty hot out here, especially training, it drains you and sometimes it would be a lot easier to just sack it and not go, but once I get started it usually turns out to be the right decision, as some of my best training sessions are the ones where I think I am going to perform below my best.
Which brings me to my first point? A bit of advice I was given by a famous American Strength Coach called Istvan Javorek (not a very American name) at a seminar I went to a few years ago. He said you should always warm up to be ready to train if you are feeling a bit low and not up for it. Make the decision after your warm up whether or not you are going to do your training session. I have followed his advice since that day and have had some outstanding sessions, where if I hadn’t gone training I would have missed out all together. So unless you are ill, try it out. If you get home from work and think you are too tired, do your normal warm up, and see how you are after it. Even if you decide not to do the session, you will have benefitted from some active recovery and remember this, “EVEN A HALF ARSED SESSION IS 50% BETTER THAN NO SESSION AT ALL.”
What about the title of this short Blog?
Well I want to give some advice and try to save people some hard earned cash. We are bombarded daily by expert marketers, with this product and that product that tell us things like get SIX PACK ABS in only 5 MINUTES A DAY using our latest fitness machine or Get the latest electric gadget and stick a couple of pads on your body with some wires coming off them and by sitting around while the electric impulses contract your muscles for 5 minutes you will get fit and strong and have the body of a God or Goddess. Well let me tell you now, they do not work. If you have read my last few blogs and understand them and believe what I say, how can they possibly work?
The other reason not to buy these products is, it is fact that 50% or more of the people who buy them, no matter how good their intentions are, only use them a few times and then they just become clutter in their House, Attic, Garage or Storeroom, laying there dormant until the next car boot sale or rubbish collection.
Well you might say; many of these types of products come with a 30 day or 60 day money back guarantee that you will see the results that the Manufacturer claims you are going to get. Surely they wouldn’t make claims like that if they didn’t work, Awesome!! They do this because the marketers know that it is extremely rare that anybody can be bothered with the hassle of sending the product back so they really don’t give a damn about whether it works.
The next good advert for SUCKING IN the uninformed is what is known as FAT SPOT REDUCTION. This means that the product that you are going to buy will reduce fat on your body in a certain area, such as the electronic devices I have mentioned. Just slap it on your belly for 5 minutes and watch your fat disappear. WRONG. You can’t spot reduce fat. Fat will come off your body over time if you eat correctly, Train correctly and Sleep correctly. That is it, there is no magic bullet! There is very little research to back these claims up.
So if you are thinking of going out and buying something like the training devices I have just written about, that make wild "too good to be true claims", please think again.
To get your Healthy Lifestyle takes work and a bit of planning. THERE ARE NO SHORT CUTS, end of story. Yes you can TRAIN SMARTER rather than HARDER, but even then you will have to put some effort in. So please don’t waste your money on commercial crap.
I hope you have a fantastic day tomorrow.
All the very best.
