Are You Training or Trying?

Imagine if a bunch of people were given the perfect exercise and nutrition program. And assume that all of these people were similar in their health status, training experience, age, etc..

Given this scenario, there will certainly be some who succeed, and some who struggle. This is often the case, even when the exercises are specifically modified according to individual abilities.

So, how come some do well, while others don't?

There are many reasons, but most of the time it comes down to this: training verses trying.

Training means you have clear goals, and you are systematic, focused, and analytical in pursuing your goals. You eliminate chance from the equation. You are purposeful in your actions, and you are held accountable by measuring your progress towards your goals. You are efficient, and able to adapt to any scenario. That is training.

If you are merely trying, you allow chance to be your guide. You are haphazardly picking some exercises, sporadic and unfocused in your nutrition and exercise plan.

In the words of a wise old philosopher:

"No try. Only do!"-Yoda

If you have been training then you are undoubtedly getting results. You feel great and look amazing, or at least are well on your way.

If you are only trying, then you are frustrated, and probably "unmotivated" (which is another word for "I'm not getting any benefit from this so why the heck should I do it"). You haven't seen results, and perhaps are losing hope that "dieting" and exercise is really worth it.

If you are merely trying, you can change your mentality. You can find the best information available, assess your needs, follow a comprehensive plan uniquely tailored to you, and use encouragement, accountability and focus to get the results you deserve!

You deserve to feel good. You deserve to feel proud of how you look. Only training will get you there, and here's where it starts (click here). Go get it!
