Consistency: The Missing Link to Success

The task for today is to go out into your local gym and start interacting with people and listen to their stories. The word inconsistency will begin to surface as you jump around the gym asking people questions. Most people will be looking for the next big diet fad to take hold of the health industry and get every person to their personal best. People continue to want and wish for something to get them to where they want to be but establish no consistency until that happens. Why wait for tomorrow when you may only have today?
It’s time for you to take control of your body and remain consistent. Stop looking for the next big thing to hit the market and find a way to remain consistent. You will find that people that are successful have a level of consistency. How can someone expect to see results when the parameters are constantly changing? If you continue to bounce around to different eating habits and training regimens, how do you expect your body to react? If you go from high carb to low carb to no carb to high fat, then low fat, and no fat where will you end up? Very confusing, isn’t it? If you want results, allow your body the time to adapt to a certain eating regimen and get used to the training method that works for you. Most people will put forth effort for a mere 7 days before slowly falling off and start planning another regimen. This is not going to work because you have not allowed any time and have not put forth much effort towards the current regimen.

Find a training regimen that fits your schedule and stick with it. Find an eating regimen that fits your lifestyle and stick with it. If you follow a regimen that you do not see yourself sticking with, then do not bother with that regimen. People assume that once they get to a certain point they can magically go back to a diet that better fits their lifestyle. Well, what you’ve done is prepped your body to react to its current habits, and then you want to implement a change. Make slow and steady changes towards your goals, rather than taking giant leaps hoping you land in the right place. A healthy lifestyle should be looked at as lifelong and not as a 6 to 12 week program. Allow your body the time to adapt one healthy meal at a time rather than trying a complete overhaul.

As far as training, start on the lower end and slowly build from there. The biggest issue people run into with exercise is time, and if you try to overextend yourself, the stress becomes overwhelming and the exercise stops. Start low and progress from that point and see how your body responds. With the favorable changes you begin to see, the easier it becomes to add time (if additional time is necessary). Exercise should be a way to relieve stress and not something that adds to stress.
