Where It Begins and What It Require
If you're expecting a book filled with images of individuals lifting weights, using resistance bands, conquering mountains, meticulously counting calories, and engaging in typical fitness activities, then this book may not be what you're looking for. Through years of immersion in the martial arts and fitness industry, and countless conversations with individuals about their aspirations and goals, we have discovered that getting in shape is 99.9% a mental endeavor.
But what does this mean exactly?
Getting in shape is 99.9% a mental journey. If I were to gather a million people and inform them that failure to run fifteen miles today would result in the loss of all their possessions and every dollar they possess, every single one of them would run those fifteen miles. In fact, they would willingly undertake any task I set before them. They would complete a hundred pushups, run fifteen miles, and swim a mile. Why? Because their motivation would be relentless.
The physical capability to accomplish these feats already exists within them. The mechanics are in place. Human beings possess the capacity to push themselves physically. And if you possess the burning desire to achieve your goals, you too can harness that power.
So, why haven't you?
After careful consideration, we have come to the realization that the primary obstacle is 99.9% mental, as the physical potential is universal. If you possess two arms, two legs, a beating heart, and a doctor's assurance of your physical well-being, then you possess the same inherent ability as every other individual on this planet. So, why aren't you utilizing it?
Now that we have established that the physical mechanics are not the issue, what about the programs?
How often have you heard someone say, "The program I'm following just isn't effective. That's why I can't seem to get in shape."
Allow me to share a little secret we have uncovered: Most workout programs out there are highly effective. Any program that includes a well-rounded cardiovascular and strength training regimen, accompanied by a straightforward nutritional plan, can yield significant results. However, the most exceptional program in the world will fail to produce results unless you commit to it. Consistency is key, and you must persevere long enough to reap the rewards.
When embarking on a new activity, there is often an initial phase of enthusiasm and excitement. It may last a week or three weeks. You might take up kayaking, become a swimmer, enroll in a spinning class, practice yoga, go jogging, or even participate in triathlons. But regardless of the activity, it will only yield results if you stick with it long enough. If you become disinterested after a couple of weeks and quit, you will find yourself right back where you started.
The most powerful tool at your disposal is the supercomputer within your mind. It is this cognitive powerhouse that we must discipline and train in order to truly transform your life. If we can change your mindset, we can change your body.
Many fitness trends revolve around the notion that someone has invented a revolutionary workout that surpasses all others. Individuals come up with unique niches, gimmicks, or novel machines. However, these superficial elements alone are insufficient. What truly needs to change is your mindset. Once your mindset shifts, everything else falls into place.
Altering your mindset is the fundamental truth about getting in shape. First and foremost, we must change our habits, attitudes, and mental approach to exercise. Everything else becomes easier once this transformation occurs. With a new mindset, you will discover the right workout for you, find a suitable nutritional program, and achieve lasting results through consistent dedication.
The array of available programs is astounding, and most of them have the potential to be effective. However, until we can convince your mind of the importance of getting in shape and remaining committed, no program will succeed. Even if I were to present you with the most advanced workout, the cutting-edge nutritional program, and the finest supplements available, they would all falter if your mindset remains unchanged.
If your goal is to get in shape, the first step is to revolutionize your entire mindset. And I am here to guide you on this transformative journey.
