Good morning,
The world is so fast paced at the moment, we are all so so busy.
Time is at a premium.
So one thing I hate to see is people wasting their time.
There was some more bad news coming out of Wales over the last week about the high levels of obesity.
Losing weight can be tough and I hate to see the ones who are trying wasting their time and failing by doing the wrong things.
Food is a massive part but many also have the wrong approach to exercise.
I have seen people come in and out of the gym day in day out for years and stay in the exact same shape.
Something's not right?
These people get up at 5-6am and get in their 60-90 min workout before work.
They're trying so hard and seemingly doing everything right.
I know that diet is massive and if they eat crap then it's going to be hard to get results but from an exercise perspective there's plenty of improvements to be made.
Here are 3 quick changes to make to your workout if you're not seeing results:
1. Stop slaving over cardio machines - break up your boring 20-30 mins on treadmill, same on cross trainer, same on bike etc. crank up the intensity, try some interval training e.g. 30s sprint/run - 30s walk/jog and get double the results in half the time. (IF APPROPRIATE TO YOUR FITNESS LEVEL)
2. Stop doing ab work for a flat stomach - this doesn't work. In order to get rid of that belly you need to do full body workouts, high intense cardio and more importantly eat a healthy diet.
3. Stop being scared of lifting heavy - this goes mainly to women but also to males. You aren't going to 'bulk up' unless you really try. We can all benefit greatly by performing movements such as squats, shoulder press, chest press, dead lifts and pull ups with heavy weights. If you want a good physique you have to do this sort of work.
So there are 3 quick changes you can make to your workout to hopefully stop you wasting your precious time.
Catch you next week,
Jamie
