Turn New Year Resolutions into Real Results Pt.1

I’m going to toot my own horn for a quick minute before I begin todays post: I can get you into shape. Period.

Over the last several years, I have helped countless people achieve the lean body of their dreams faster than they ever thought possible. The truth is I know how to help people lose ugly, unwanted body fat faster than you can imagine. A huge part of this is because of the workouts I design for my boot camps. The combination of
interval cardio, core work and strength training partnered with a top notch nutrition program, makes for an unbeatable system that is second to none when it comes to turning out boot camp babes. I have done the countless hours of
research and trial and error and I have had hundreds of people as real world case studies to prove that my system flat out works. But guess what? There is a secret weapon even more powerful than a booty kicking boot camp workout and today I am going to share it with you. This is truly step one when it comes to starting a new fitness routine.

So, what is the real secret behind my client success? Well, if you answered the training and nutrition program I just
shamelessly bragged about, you are wrong. Yes, it’s an incredible program, but the best laid out plan and program is useless unless you start AND stick with it.

So, I ask you again, what’s the real secret behind my client’s success? The answer: finding the motivation to achieve your goals, and that’s the main focus of this article today. I am going to literally walk you through the initial consult and three step goal setting process that each one of my clients undergoes before they start working with us. This is so important to weight loss success that I developed a complete step-by-step program that I now require all my new boot camp ladies to complete within their first week at boot camp.

Ok, so by now maybe your finger is hovering over the mouse ready to move onto another web site, because really what is all this mumbo-jumbo? You just want to get your butt kicked and get it kicked hard again and again. All this goal setting and mindset stuff is so cheesy. Did I call you out?

I know a lot of people think goal setting is just a cheesy, useless thing. And guess what? As recently as a few years ago, I half-way would have agreed with you. But over the last several years, it has become undeniable to me the difference in the women I work with who clearly give attention to goal setting and mindset, and those that don’t. The bottom line is that the most successful people out there, and I mean not just weight loss success, I am talking business, lifestyle, etc., are shamelessly goal driven. They know exactly why they want to do something and
harness that super motivation to figure out what and by when they want to go about accomplishing that. Furthermore, they plan and prepare for every possible roadblock they will encounter in their path to success. This is what I want to
teach you how to do today, so let’s get to it!

Step One- The Why: Why do you want to do this?

This is where it’s time to get real. In almost every initial consult I do, when I ask why they have contacted me today, here is the typical blanket response that I first hear:

"Well, I just want to get healthy and lose weight I guess."

Lie. They don’t know their lying, they aren’t trying to lie, but it’s a lie all the same. Sure, I know they want to lose weight and be healthy, I mean who doesn’t, but really WHY do they want to do this? I mean, what is it that’s going to get them up at 5 am to get their morning workouts in or take a couple of hours on Sunday to plan and prepare their meals for the upcoming week? It sure isn’t "being healthy" because for some reason this just isn’t a very powerful motivator for most people (though it should be).

Let’s face it: everybody, including YOU, is initially driven by the desire to look better in a bikini, a cute little business suit or heck, even naked. Stop giggling, you know it’s true and frankly that’s okay because the desire to improve one’s appearance is the most powerful motivator there is.

So, after a little digging, I find out the real reason why they want to do this; I find their pain and then establish their current and future ambitions. Some people want to get back into their favorite pair of pants that they haven’t been able to get one leg into for the last five years. Then there are those who want to look and feel more attractive to ignite some passion back into their relationships and/or put for their best image at work. And of course, my personal favorite is preparing for big events that have built in deadlines. Wanting to get as lean and tight as possible to rock that dream bathing suit in Hawaii, or get off the plane in Atlanta when visiting family you haven’t seen in two years to blow them away with your new body, or being a classic beauty in your wedding dress on the big day, it all works! This is the stuff that gets people jacked up and ready to commit to making some real changes. How do I know? Well, I just shared with you verbatim the exact "WHY’S" of some of my own clients.

So, the first thing you have to figure out is your personal WHY. To make this even simpler for you, just answer this question:
what are your physical dreams? Once you establish this, everything else is easy.

Come back for step 2 in turning your new years resolution into real results.

Stay focused
