MOTIVATION ISN’T YOUR PROBLEM, FUN IS I used to wonder why it was so tough for me to stick to a fitness program Why I’d start a program for 4 weeks, lose some weight, and then slowly find excuses to quit and then go backwards. Why I’d be so disciplined for around 6 weeks but then for some reason it would be over. Then i’d give up. Then I’d go back to the way I was before. Why this happened multiple times a YEAR, and I’d look back over multiple years and show no progress.... Once I created my body transformation, and my clients created theirs I started wondering (and asking) them why the things they tried in the past didn’t work, and then what they felt was different about my program. One of the biggest common denominators? Rather than a focus on motivation, I focus on fun. You see, most people think their issue is a lack of motivation, but that’s not the problem. Everyone is highly motivated to do and continue to do the things they find fun. They don’t have to struggle to be disciplined to eat food they like and hang out with people they like and get praise. They don’t have to struggle. They do it automatically. Think about your own life, does someone have to hold you accountable to things you like? Like eating a pizza or watching your favorite show? Of course not, you love those things. And that’s the key to sustainable health. Making the process fun. Sure accountability is important, especially early on as you’re creating the habit But if you’re doing it right...fun is where you’ll end up before long. That’s where you want to be. Because what’s fun is sustainable. Fun is permanent. Fun creates automatic motivation. So no need to try and psyche yourself up to get motivated. Find a way to do what helps you and is fun too. That’s the sweet spot. See more

IF YOU THINK EATING LESS WILL HELP YOU LOSE FAT! Read this post to find out the truth instead.... Here it is It Can Lower Your Metabolism! Consistently having fewer calories than your body needs can cause your metabolism to slow down. Studies show that low-calorie meal plans/diets can lower the number of calories the body burns up to 23%! If you do see a slight weight decrease briefly it's because as you continue to eat less than you need, your body then starts to break down... muscle to use it for energy instead of the fat you want to be burning! When you reach the stage of losing muscle instead of fat, it will actually slow your metabolism down more . A lot of people have been asking me if eating little to no food will help them lose fat, so I wanted to share some information about it! photo creds to Donald Fortune See more

Push / Pull / Legs Split The reason people do workout splits like these are so you can workout more consistently throughout the week to allow your muscles used to recover! This is a popular split used for people who also dont have enough time throughout the week to workout often, this allows you to hit everything you need to hit in just 3 days! You can also apply it to a 6 day workout week if you wanted to push yourself, I do however recommend minimum 1 rest day. REST IS J...UST AS IMPORTANT AS THE WORKOUT. Your body needs time to recover to get those gainz! Here's a solid pull legs split workout i put together for everyone! See more
