Strong VS. Skinny

Strong vs. Skinny We’ve all heard the phrase “strong is the new skinny”. I think this is the best way to look at training. Stop worrying about the scales and stressing yourself out.  Go to the gym, set goals, work hard and the body will take shape and for women, I 100% guarantee you that you will not get big and bulky. It’s impossible without taking steroids and train 10 hours a week. Doing training with weights and making yourself stronger, will reduce body fat and give you that toned look everyone talks about.  Being toned is basically just reducing body fat around your muscles. I could show you women who are Olympic champions at weight lifting and they’re not big or bulky.  If they dedicate their lives to lifting weight and still aren’t big or bulky, then you, the average person training 3 hours a week certainly won’t be big and bulky either. Stop stressing and start getting stronger.

Rewards

Rewards Why do I always say have a takeaway on the weekend if you want it? Because I see it as a reward for positive behaviours. Personally I know I will eat better and train as planned all week if I know that I’ll get a reward at the end of it. This system is engrained in our minds from a young age so I can guarantee that it’s effective. When you are young and your parents say “Be good today and I will buy you something”, when your teachers say “Be good and you will get no homework on nice days”. It’s a proven system, why wouldn’t we use it? It creates consistency. One takeaway per week with a diet that’s 80% healthy for the rest of your life. It’s far better than eating 100% healthy for three weeks and then binging and eating bad for the rest of your life. It’s common sense.

The Rose and Concrete

The Rose and Concrete I heard a quote from Tupac today that I think we can relate to fat loss in a way. He says that if a rose grows from the concrete, don’t look at it like “hey there’s scratches on it.” Be like “Wow a rose grew from the concrete, it defied natural law”. This crosses over into fat loss because people who lose a lot of weight are sometimes left with stretch marks. It makes them feel self-conscious. Don’t feel self-conscious, you’ve achieved something amazing. Be happy, be confident, be like the rose that grew from the concrete.
