Sydney Personal Trainer Shows You How to Get Results With Your New Years Resolutions (Part 1)

During the past few years I have helped many people improve their health, fitness and body composition faster than ever before. Put bluntly, I know how to help people lose unwanted body fat faster than ever.

A large part of my client’s success stories is due to our fat burning workouts and nutrition system, I have read countless scientific research, through trial and error I have put together a system that flat out works – and we’ve got many client case studies to prove it.

But, today I’m going to share something more powerful, something that must be set in place before you can even start to think about following a fitness program.

So what do you think is the real secret behind many of my client’s successes?

If you said it was my training and nutrition system then you’d be wrong, even the best programs out there are worthless if someone is unwilling to follow them carefully.

It’s been said that you can take a poor program, follow it carefully and get amazing results.

Or…

Take a great program, follow it poorly and get lousy results.

So it appears that the most important component of changing your body is finding the right motivation to stay focused on achieving your goals – and that’s what I’m going to talk about today.

I’m going to get right into the actual consultation process that each of our clients goes through before they start working with us. This is such an important aspect to our client’s success that we require it for any new client to be considered into joining our program.

Now first I must warn you.

If you think goal setting is a load of fluff and just a big waste of time you should stop reading NOW, there’s nothing I can do for you – you’re not ready change your body.

The truth is that the most successful people out there, and not just in weight loss success, but in any situation whether it’s business, sport, lifestyle etc are totally goal driven.

These people know exactly what their goals are and why they want to accomplish them.

Not only that, they have a plan of attack and have contingencies for any kind of roadblock they face along the way.

This is what I want to talk about today.

Before we start get a pen and paper and write down the answers to these questions.

Step One – Figure out the Why

Why do you want to do this?

This is where you need to be honest with yourself. In nearly every consult I’ve ever done I hear the same blanket response – every time.

”Not sure really, just wanna get fit and healthy I spose”

Wrong answer!

I’m sure they do want to get fit and healthy – who wouldn’t. But, that’s not why they’ve come to see me, getting up at 5am to train in the dark in winter time is not a powerful enough motivator (though it should be).

Let’s face it: everybody, including YOU, wants to look better when you look in the mirror. You know it’s true and frankly that’s okay because the desire to improve
your appearance is the most powerful motivator there is.

So after their initial response and some digging by me I usually get to the real reason. We find their past pain and failures and then establish new goals and future ambitions.

For some it’s being able to feel comfortable to take their shirt off at the beach, others may want to fit into clothes that looked good on them 5-10 years ago.

It all works, these are the powerful goals that will keep you focused and motivated.

So the first thing you need to establish is the WHY.

Till then.

Train Hard!
