You don’t need to be perfect. You just need to start

New to the gym and nutrition? Read caption below


Too many of my clients and consultations I have with people are worried they can’t commit each week and be 100%


Truth is, no one really is 100% and consistency is the key to reaching your fitness/lifestyle goals


People start with too much commitment and become disappointed with not achieving every little task that week. Once that happens all motivation drops and you see a rapid decline in accomplished tasks.


My advice


Start small, tick off wins and slowly add to this as you become more physically and mentally capable of taking on more.


For example, a new client wanting to lose weight and they have never been into the gym before.


Here’s what the first 4-5 weeks looks like


Weeks 1-2: Establish training - get into the gym start with 1-2 sessions per week (not 5-6). create a routine with this, once you are successfully hitting 2 sessions add in 3-4.


Weeks 2-4: add in steps and extra moment, daily step count, keep it low and achievable. As the weeks go by increase total number. Start with 4-6k increase to 7-10k over set number of weeks


Weeks 1-6: slowly implement nutrition, loosely track as we learn and become educated on how macros work. No coach expects a client to be perfect from the get go, it’s all new and there will be variances at the start. Over the weeks refine and eventually hitting the Marcos will dial in.


By 8-10 weeks, new habits will be set and it will feel comfortable not foreign. This is our sweet spot and you’ll learn to love and enjoy the process. You’ll see results and not want to return to how you were.
