Results...

"I'm going to the beach next weekend and I need to lose 25#" "I've been walking on the treadmill everyday this week--when am I going to see results?" "How long does it take for me to see changes?"


Results... I often say "I'm a personal trainer--not a miracle worker!". We Americans are such an instant gratification society. People--you didn't get this way yesterday and you aren't gonna change it overnight! Sorry but it's true. And also remember from prior posts--it doesn't come in a pill or bottle. You actually have to work at it--you have DO something. And the older we get, the more we have to work at it. The more you apply yourself, the faster you will see results. Plain and simple. You know like they always say--the more you put in it, the more you get out of it. Yep. Simple as that.


You have to do it and be consistent at it. You have to change your diet, do some cardio and exercise. The more vigilant you are in all three areas, the faster you are going to see results. The diet part is the hardest and most important. Start with gradual changes and work into it but eventually you will see that you have made lifestyle changes. It will be a way of life and you won't want to go back to the old way--clearly that didn't work for you.


And another thing... The place you hate the most will be the last place to change. Ugh! For me, it is my pooch. I have had one always--even when I was skinny fat in H.S. So, when I'm getting ready for a show..my abs come in last--every time. So, if you have too much junk in your trunk, it's probably gonna be there for a minute...


So... what did I say? You will see some results when you apply yourself to your mission. Stay the course, daily. In a bit, you will start to see some changes--the number on the scale, the belt hole, dress size, you look good naked. And, that IS the point, right??


Change your body, change your life!
