H.V.A. - 3 Fitness Non-Negotiables

Do you have H.V.A.? ๐Ÿ˜ณ๐Ÿ˜ท๐Ÿค’๐Ÿคฎ
Okay it's probably not what you thought but hva stands for Highest Valued Activities.

Chances are you fall into one of two categories: you're looking to BURN body fat or you are looking to BUILD muscle.

No matter what your goal is there are always "other things" you could be doing or doing better, but chances are there is two or three things that you SHOULD be doing Every. Single. Day.

And more often than not those two or three things repeated on a daily basis are going to get you way further towards your goals then doing something fancier, harder or more complex.

After listening, let me know What 3 Things YOU need to focus on most to hit your goals in the comments below ๐Ÿ‘‡ or DM on Messenger or IG

Summer Fluff to Fit for Fall โžก๏ธ 3 simple steps!

Summer Fluff to Fit for Fall โžก๏ธ 3 simple steps!

Did you take your foot off the gas just a little bit this summer with your workouts? Maybe a few extra cocktails or "low cal" seltzers on the boat? Well then you might notice that you're a little bit more bloated than you are just a few short weeks and months ago. If so you will inevitably be tempted to go on a quick fix crash diet or completely cut out carbohydrates to see some short-term success. The problem with this strategy is that when you are ready to get back into working out on a regular schedule or clean up your diet a little further, you won't have the fuel or the energy or the motivation to push harder. So you essentially hit a plateau before you even get started, all because you wanted to lose a few quick pounds and see results quicker in the beginning. Here are the exact reaction steps you should start doing immediately to create an awesome foundation for your muscular, respiratory and cardiovascular systems!

What ingredients are in your "cookie"? ๐Ÿช

What ingredients are in your "cookie"? ๐Ÿช

What ingredients are in your "cookie"? ๐Ÿช

The cookie is the outcome, but the individual ingredients added, the temperature cooked, the duration, etc leads to how the cookie tastes.

So if you're not seeing the results you'd like, you don't just stop eating cookies...

...instead you go back to the drawing board and see which ingredients you liked, which you didn't, which you need to add more of, and which you can scrap.

- HOW THIS PARALLELS TO FITNESS -

So often I will hear somebody say that "so and so did THIS and got THIS result, but I didn't."

But what we don't realize is all the other ingredients that have gone into the cookie.

In this case the ingredients are:
โœ… your meals,
โœ… your water intake,
โœ… your sleep,
โœ… your calorie consumption,
โœ… your protein,
โœ… your weight training,
โœ… your cardiovascular exercise,
โœ… your stretching...

...and on and on.

The list of ingredients when it comes to your fitness transformation is endless.

And just because you don't like the current taste of your cookie, doesn't mean that you give up eating cookies forever.

Instead it means you tweak some ingredients and get back into the kitchen to get it right!

THIS is why you are NOT losing weight! ๐Ÿ‘‡

THIS is why you are NOT losing weight! ๐Ÿ‘‡

Stop ๐Ÿ–๏ธTHIS is why you are NOT losing weight! ๐Ÿ‘‡

By following the 2 steps I share in today's video you should consistently be able to lose 2 POUNDS OF BODY FAT each week.

This isn't a crash diet.
This isn't a quick fix.
This doesn't matter where or how you workout.
This is just math and science โœ…๐Ÿค“

Calories Consumed vs. Calories Burned

It starts with knowing your numbers (BMR and body fat %) and doing some quick subtraction.

๐Ÿงฎ BMR-500 = Daily Calories to Lose 1lbs/week

Then each day when you move your body to burn ๐Ÿ”ฅ -500 additional calories, you will synergistically create a 1000 calorie deficit daily.

3500 calories = 1 pounds of FAT

7000 calories = 2 pounds of FAT

So if the continuous yoyo dieting, crash dieting or starving yourself isn't working...GOOD!

Because it led to you watching this video today and learning the correct way to take care of your metabolism, fuel your muscles, maintain energy and starve your body fat ๐Ÿ’ฏ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Breakthrough Your Plateaus ๐Ÿ‹๏ธโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Breakthrough Your Plateaus ๐Ÿ‹๏ธโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ”ฅ

It's time to adjust your personal thermostat!๐ŸŒก๏ธ๐Ÿ’ฏ
If you keep hitting plateaus and dead ends in your life then you need to watch this NOW!!!

I'm going to offer my video Cliff Notes below...

PERSONAL OR PROFESSIONAL ROADBLOCK?

โฌ‡๏ธ Step #1
Aquire New Knowledge
New Goals or Limits are Required

โฌ‡๏ธ Step #2
New Beliefs are Required

Then you need to believe "I deserve this!" which is one of the hardest steps, because our personal thermostat determines what we will tolerate and what we will work for...

โฌ‡๏ธโฌ‡๏ธโฌ‡๏ธ Step #3
3 Things to Help w/ Change

1.) Mentors or Influences
Find someone else who has accomplished what you want to achieve yourself.

2.) Habits
Emulate successful habits used by others who have accomplished what you want to achieve

3.) Beliefs
If someone else can do it, so can you. Follow their lead, incorporate their habits and believe you can!

โฌ‡๏ธ Step #4
Breakthrough Your Plateau

You have now raised your thermostat! But the more assertive and motivated you are, you'll also plateau at this level sooner or later and need to readjust again.

The key is to always trust this cycle of personal discovery and growth so that every time you feel yourself starting to plateau that you incorporate these steps as quickly as possible to continue motivation and momentum.

You can do this and you deserve it!!!

What is Your "Fighting Weight"?

What is Your "Fighting Weight"?

Are you someone who's ALWAYS LATE getting where you're going? If so I bet you also make this SAME mistake when it comes to losing weight on the scale too โš–๏ธ๐Ÿ’ฏ

Here's the example...

Let's say it takes you 12 minutes to drive to work everyday. Then one day it takes you only 7 minutes because every light is green and traffic is clear.

Many people (almost everyone) will now allocate ONLY 7 minutes for their morning commute. This will lead to them being late the majority of the time because of unrealistic expectations.

Here's the weight loss example...

You have the comfortable weight that your body always likes to hover around. But there was this one time that you dieted extremely strict and exercised like a maniac and got yourself down 10 lbs lower than your comfortable weight.

Many people (almost everyone) will now use their temporary weight as their long-term goal that they base all success off of.

So no matter how well, how consistent or how committed you stay with your fitness program, you are always comparing it to the unrealistic weight that you achieved "that one time".

Here's what to do instead...

Start using the unrealistic goal as your "fighting weight" and try to stay within 10 lbs or so of that number.

Just like a boxer, UFC fighter or bodybuilder it is unattainable to stay at your fighting weight year round. But there is a happy and comfortable maintenance level somewhere within 10 to 15 pounds of that fighting weight.

Your goal should always be within striking distance of your fighting weight. It is easier to stay in shape and it is to get in shape!

This way for the rest of your life if you ever need to tighten up for a cruise, lose a few pounds before vacation, for fit into that little black dress...

You know that you can achieve your goal weight within a 4-6 week time frame!

It will always be less intimidating and much easier to wrap your head around committing to 4-6 weeks of effort than it is to focus on a 20 or 30 lbs weight loss goal over the course of 4-6 months.

Make sense?

I hope this simple switch in perspective will allow you to carry around a few extra pounds without guilt, and give you the confidence to shred those few extra pounds with less time and effort!

TODAY'S TOPIC: INJURIES ๐Ÿ˜ณ๐Ÿค•

TODAY'S TOPIC: INJURIES ๐Ÿ˜ณ๐Ÿค•

If you have knee, elbow, shoulder, hip or back pain listen to this! ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ What if I told you that you needed to stop stretching in order to heal your injuries?

Okay well that's not entirely true, but it's a component we'll discuss in today's video about how to overcome injuries to your muscles, tendons and ligaments.

Just like the knot in this rubber band, if I continue to pull and pull at it the knot will only get tighter.

Yet when it comes to injuries to our muscles all I ever see people do is one of two things: rest or stretch

What you need to do is...

1. Warm-up the muscle prior to exercise/stretch
2. Locate and apply pressure to the injury
3. While applying pressure, go through range of motion
4. Afterwards apply ice and a tens unit for passive recovery

Of course there are other things like NSAIDs which will help to reduce inflammation, but they are not fixing the root of the problem.

Watch this video and message me if you are having any lingering injuries that you need help with! ๐Ÿ“ฒ

Make this change to see change...

Make this change to see change...

To see changes you need to make changes!
Things like...

โœ… morning cardio,
โœ… a few laps after a workout,
โœ… daily ab burns in front of the TV,
โœ… walking the dog after meals,
โœ… switch from low reps to high reps,
โœ… switch from high reps to low reps,
โœ… get off the bike and push a sled,
โœ… pull a sled,
โœ… stretch your tight muscles,
โœ… journal, pray or meditate

You don't have to do all of these things or even ANY of these things. You just need continuous progress.

Think of your body as living with my ADD. It's need CONSTANT new stimulus to keep it's attention ๐Ÿ’ฏ

The same exercises, workouts and meals will get you the same body, BUT that doesn't mean you have to change your exercises, workouts and meals to get a new body...

...it just means you need to constantly be TWEAKING! (not twerking, but that is cardio ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ)

Grab a new size weight, slow down or speed up your rep tempo, squeeze the muscles you want squeezed, reach for a bigger portion of protein, drink a little more water, etc.

When it comes to your metabolism, think Cobra Kai: strike first, strike hard, no mercy ๐Ÿฅ‹๐Ÿ’ฅ

Short Term Risk vs Reward??? (Infinite vs Finite)

Short Term Risk vs Reward??? (Infinite vs Finite)

Such an important message here ๐Ÿ’ฏ Are you treating your fitness like a FINITE game or an INFINITE game?

Unless somebody's holding a scoreboard over your every rep, set, meal and sip you put into your body, you need to start treating this process like it never ends! Short Term Risk vs Reward???
This KILLS me everytime I see this happen...

Simon Sinek recently released a new book called "The Infinite Game." It's primarily about business, but so many of the same principles and philosophies apply to YOUR FITNESS.

The basic idea is that every short term action you take effects your long term game. So when you take shortcuts for instant gratification, you're actually inhibiting your possibilities for success in the future.

So every time you crash diet, overdo cardio and take drastic measures to lose weight you are actually creating MORE HEALTH PROBLEMS!

The comparison in the book is when major profitable companies have massive employee layoffs to hit target numbers they actually create a volatile company and an unmotivated work environment.

That's the SAME THING you are doing to your body and your metabolism when you make "layoffs" by massively cutting calories, cut carbs too low or do way too much cardio.

The result is your hormones become volatile and your metabolism becomes an unmotivated work environment.

Think about that and start making life long decisions with your health so that your body rewards you, by you rewarding it!

DON'T Skip Thursdays

DON'T Skip Thursdays

You're KILLING your progress making this one simple mistake...

By taking off Thursdays from working out you set up an inevitable trend that we have seen historically over the nine years training clients at LiveFit. Over the last almost decade of LiveFit Thursday's have almost always been the slowest day of the week.

Now while I highly recommend taking days off when necessary to stretch, rest your body, have a social life or whatever it might be....

...unfortunately this simple move typically leads to also taking off Friday's, Saturdays and Sundays!

This simple little action might not seem like much, but when you do the simple math you are setting yourself up for 208 days OFF from your workout program over 52 weeks.

That's almost 60% of your year spent on "off days"!

Where this really adds up over time is the fact that typically we are not as conscious of the foods that we are eating on our off days.

We are also not stretching as we normally do before a workout and we are not getting our heart rate up during our typical warm-up.

So it's not just the workout you are missing.

Your muscles are missing being stretched and primed for activity.

Your heart is missing the accelerated blood flow and nutrients it carries with it throughout your body.

Your brain is missing the endorphins released during exercise making you happy and more energetic.

Your confidence suffers because internally deep down you know when you are taking steps in the right direction, and when you are not.

So don't skip Thursdays!

Instead what I recommend in the video below is something that has been working really well for our clients over the last few months.

It's a new strategy we have started incorporating that allows busy moms to only attend three workouts per week, but still get the equivalent of five or six workouts for the week.

Or, just a moving.

Stretch, walk, lift or anything else that keeps your body moving to prevent rust, keep the metabolism burning hot and keep inching you closer to your goals!

Committed to your fitness success,

STARTING OVER - Surviving Day 1 Suck

STARTING OVER - Surviving Day 1 Suck

There's the inevitable suck that follows starting any type of new program, routine and especially when it comes to exercising and nutrition ๐Ÿ’ฏ๐Ÿ‘Ž

We easily forget how good working out felt when we used to commit to a regularly. ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ˜

We easily forget how good we felt after healthy meals and when we had less belly fat. ๐Ÿฅ—โ˜บ๏ธ

But better days are ahead, if...

You DO NOT depend on today's motivation to keep you pushing forward past this week and this month.

We are all special, but we are all human.

That means we follow tendencies. We drift towards comfort and steer clear of discomfort.

To defeat this discomfort you need to eliminate as many obstacles in your way as possible, to eliminate as many excuses as possible.

Simple things like...

1.) Setting reminder alarms on your phone every night to pack a GYM BAG. If you miss a workout because you forgot to pack socks or a sports bra, you create a slippery slope of future excuses.

2.) Setting reminder alarms on your phone every night to pack LUNCH and a SNACK for the following day. You might not always have the healthiest foods available, but I promise it will be better than the alternative you decide to eat instead if you are unprepared.

3.) NO DAYS OFF for at least your first 3 weeks!

That does not mean you are doing burpees or boot camp or something ballistic, that just means that you are keeping your body in motion daily. Go for a walk, stretch in bed or do crunches on the living room floor while you watch TV.

The power of momentum and routine is inevitable, so you should use it to your power!

A body in motion stays in motion.

A body at rest, RUSTS! :(

---

So is that it?

Are those the only things you need to do to be successful and for this journey to be less painful?

HECK NO!

But if you eliminate all of the petty stuff it's going to give you more time and also mental capacity to handle the big stuff that comes up.

The less you rely on your brain and the more you automate your routine, the better chance you have to stick this out and see it through.

We've all made excuses in the past, and again that is human. What I often remind myself though is this...

"Someone out there is doing MORE than I am with LESS than what I currently have available to me. Someone is going through something worse than I currently am and still not making excuses."

Say that to yourself next time you are feeling down on your luck for having a personal pity party.

Because it's true. At some point enough has to be enough. The excuses need to end and you just need to get the job done.

You get one life and one body and if you want to see what life is like at your fullest potential, putting it off another day isn't going to get you there quicker.

Our goal should always be to live our longest life with the best possible health, and we should treat every day like it!

Committed to your to your fitness success,

3 Steps to Accountability (and Motivation)

3 Steps to Accountability (and Motivation)

Shhhhhh ๐Ÿคซ today we're talking about a dirty little "A" word that often gets unnecessary blame!

Are you lacking motivation or are you missing accountability? Both are important, but often times the two get confused.

ACCOUNTABILITY is defined as the condition of being accountable or responsible.

MOTIVATION is defined as the desire of someone to do something.

You NEED motivation to get started and accountability is what KEEPS YOU GOING ๐Ÿ’ฏ

True accountability is keeping promises with yourself long after the motivation of the original goal is gone.

Setting goals like losing 20 pounds, doing a transformation challenge for new years or getting leaner for a wedding are things that fuel motivation...

But the strategies like scheduling your grocery shopping, meal prepping and fitting workouts into your daily routine build accountability.

Needing someone to call you every morning or constantly check in on you is not accountability, it's babysitting...

But having a partner that's equally committed as you, sets goals together, shares tips and things that are motivating to them is what builds a true accountability partnership ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ’š

A Better 2021 Fitness Strategy ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ’ก

A Better 2021 Fitness Strategy ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ’ก

Want 2021 to start and end different than 2020???

1. MOTIVATION - what gets you started, but often fades fast after real life kicks in

2. STRUCTURE - what most people avoid, yet desperately crave and need

3. MEASURABLE GOALS - thinking and feeling good is one thing, but if you cannot measure it you are only trusting your memory to compare pre and post results...

Let's face it we all suck at remembering things so let's not rely all of our success on this!

4. MINI DEADLINES - this is how you combine #2 and #3 without losing motivation. Think of mini deadlines as a vacation, you never miss vacations ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ˜‰

5. ACCOUNTABILITY - what we all say we want, but are afraid to actually get because sometimes the truth hurts

In the end your discipline and consistency is what's going to keep you on track, focused during turbulence and resilient during tough times.

Discipline and consistency cannot be created by talking about it, it is a muscle and like anything else it needs to be ๐Ÿ’ช FLEXED on a daily basis.

Don't wait for motivation to save you โŒ

Motivation gets you started, structure keeps you going, progress keeps you motivated, deadlines keep you focused and accountability is the glue that holds everything together!

Somewhere between those two extremes is a planned and controlled indulgence 1-2x weekly. But the key is using a self-reflection report card each week which I'll explain to you in this new podcast!

Workouts = Choice or Obligation?? (PROs vs CONs)

Workouts = Choice or Obligation?? (PROs vs CONs)

A statement I hear quite often is "I don't want to feel obligated to work out." My answer is, you should not feel obligated to workout!

Taking care of and improving your health should be a choice you make each and every day. But WHY do you workout?

Is it to have bigger muscles, feel stronger and look better?

Is it to have more energy, feel better and improve your health?

Today I kissed my daughter before working out and said "I'm doing this for you. I'm doing this to be a great example and role model for you. I'm doing this so I can walk you down the aisle and meet my future grandchildren!"

That now becomes a CHOICE and an OBLIGATION!

How could I back out of a workout now?

How could I not do something today to improve my health tomorrow?

Sometimes all takes is a simple shift in perspective and all the sudden your goals and your purpose are the driving force.

Something you cherish becomes the OBLIGATION and the path to get there becomes the CHOICE!

Now all of a sudden the big picture is more important than one great meal or one great workout.

It also seems ridiculous and petty to give up on your goals after one bad meal or one missed workout when you have a big picture in mind.

So figure out your why, be forgiving of your path and never give up! ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ‹๏ธโ€โ™€๏ธ

#1 reason you aren't in shape...

This is an impromptu video on our private Facebook support group that I think needs to be shared with everyone. So many people put so much emphasis into the gym they work out in prior to quarantine, only to find out that it is only one of many tools available to you. Fitness is about compiling healthy long-term habits with daily consistency, not how hard you can work out or how strict you can diet. This podcast will open up your eyes to the lessons that are right in front of you that I've learned through quarantine!
