⌠and how to fix it TODAY.
If youâre not seeing the results you want from your kettlebell workouts, youâre not alone.
It seems to be rampant.
In fact, I was talking to someone Iâm very close to this morning about this very problem.
Itâs really easy to feel like youâve âtried everythingâ and then be tempted to throw in the towel because ânothing works.â
At times like these, itâs best to take a step back and take some deep breaths.
(How many? Until you feel calmer. đ)
Then, we need to apply logic - a concept not routinely embraced in our society these days - which worships at the âAltar of Feelingsâ - to extricate ourselves from this situation.
So, letâs break this down:
CAUSE â EFFECTS.
INPUT â OUTPUT.
If youâre not getting the ârightâ effects - a.k.a. OUTCOME / RESULTS, then the âCAUSEâ or the âINPUTâ is⌠dare I say it in this day and ageâŚ
WRONG.
There are 3 reasons - or areas we need to examine:
AREA #1: TRAINING
The simplest ways to get results from training is to:
[1] Follow A Plan/Program (Professionally Designed)
This is now a âroadmapâ to get you where you want to go
[2] Keep a Training Journal
This is where you log the day, time, exercises, sets, and reps from following that roadmap
Doing these allows you - no wait - wrong word. Too passiveâŚ
Doing these EMPOWERS you to track, measure, manage, and recalibrate (if/when necessary) your direction.
The Truth (absolute, not subjective/relative) is if youâre not measuring, you canât manage, and therefore youâre only guessing.
AREA #2: NUTRITION
The #1 BIGGEST PROBLEM with nutrition is the concept of DIETING.
The word âDIETâ in the West connotes something you âgo onâ to âlose weightâ and stop once youâve âlost that weight.â
Problem is, thatâs a bastardization of the true meaning of the word.
DIET comes from the Greek word, âDIATA,â which means, âLIFESTYLE.â
Therefore, a âdietâ is a lifestyle - a WAY OF EATING.
The problem in the West is, we have a lifestyle of eating that fattens us up.
And the reason that diets âdonât work,â is because once people achieve their âgoal weight,â they return to their old lifestyle that fattens them up!
Then they complain, âI tried the XYZ Diet, but it didnât work. Once I stopped the weight came right back!â
NO!
The diet did exactly what they expected it to do.
They just returned to a lifestyle (diet) that was designed to fatten them up!
So, the key to get off the âDieting Merry-go-round,â is to identify the behaviors, the lifestyle choices that contribute to fat accumulation, and replace them with behaviors that encourage the body to burn more fat for fuel.
The simplest way to do this is to PRIORITIZE PROTEIN.
Eat a fistful of protein at every meal.
Start there.
AREA #3: STRESS MANAGEMENT
This is an area very few people acknowledge, even though meditation and sleep apps seem to be gaining popularity.
The way we manage stress can make or break us.
The easiest thing to do to de-stress is lie on the floor before bed and perform 100 deep diaphragmatic breaths.
This will help you fall asleep and stay asleep.
Another way is to actually get 7+ hours of sleep.
This does not mean slide into bed at 10pm and watch 1-2 hours of whatever on your smartphone or tablet.
Hereâs the KEY POINT ABOUT SLEEP:
Getting adequate rest ensures you have enough energy to get things done.
That way you donât âstress outâ about not having âenough time.â
So, remember, if you want to change your RESULTS (OUTPUT), you have to change your BEHAVIORS (INPUT) and hopefully this email showed you how to do just that.
If you need a [new] program / plan / roadmapâŚ
My program, Kettlebell MAXIMORUM includes:
[+] A Training Plan: 20-30 minutes/ day, 3-4x week
[+] A Supportive Nutrition Plan: For Recomping, Stripping Off Fat, or Building Muscle
[+] A Stress Relief / Restoration Plan: To Help You Recover Faster and See Results Sooner
[+] A Training Journal: To Track, Measure, and Manage Your Progress
I believe itâll really help turn things around for you and finally get you seeing the results youâre looking for if youâve been struggling.
But donât take my word for it.
