Personally if that doesn’t work for you , just because in nature we’re not all the same , I diet . Once body get used to diet then I start going the the gym Infact if you don’t eat right and just start working out you might just get hungrier or not even have good workouts because you’re energy is so low because of all the shit food you consume . Without the diet and I don’t mean starving I mean a diet you can sustain through life . Obviously live a little every once in a while it’ll reset your body ( diet wise ) I’ve lost 90-100 lbs twice unfortunately

I completely do not agree. Supplements WILL help you develop muscle much quicker, especially if your diet is not great. If you have $100 you can invest to help your success do it. Get a pre workout, creatine and depending if you're skinny or fat Protein powder or Bulk supplement. Your muscle will grow faster, you will recover better, you will have better workouts. This will make you more invested in working out and help you make it a habit. If you don't have the money - don't worry, you will see results either way. If you do - spend it because its worth it!

I've noticed over the years training friends, family and dabbling as a professional trainer that the way to keep someone going is to hold them back.. make them say "That's it?"..Motivation is key for consistency and consistency is key in fitness and everything else in life.

I agree with this. I’ve been off my diet and workout routine for so long that I literally just told myself, I’m just going to go to the gym and do cardio, slowly get back in the groove and change diet later. I want to just work on a simple routine without overwhelming myself. Great advice 👏🏽

Solid advice. Consistency is 🔑. I’ve lost 55lbs in the past 13 months. This was basically the approach I took. In the past when I would change to much in the beginning I would always hit a wall, get complacent, and rebound. Building good habits one at a time can be a super powerful tool.

I love how he’s actually wanting to change his friend’s life/lifestyle by creating a habit little by little rather than to make a quick fix/a quick buck (if it’s a business). ❤

He's preaching the truth. After realising I gained 8kg during lockdown, I told myself "alright we are here - what do we do?" I restarted my running routine, limit it to 3km a day 3x a week. Eventually I built it up and signed up for CF. It went from just 1-2 times a week to now being 4-5 times a week over the span of 6 months. Its a lot more sustainable because I gave my body the time to adjust, recover and progress. I still have my "off" week and on those weeks? I listened to my body. It's easier to sustain a routine if your body can catch up w the changes accordingly

This is my biggest problem I think! When I try to get healthier I feel like I need to change everything all at once but this makes a lot of sense!

How many guys do you hear complaining about lower back pain? Knee pain, elbow pain, rotator cuff pain... I've have had most of these since i had to figure out forms on my own.

He’s letting me lead the workouts & now he’s getting his physical self back which makes the mental bullshit more manageable. If you let them both decline, you’re F’d. If ish is tough mentally, keep your self physically sharp. If you have an injury, study something you’re interested in to keep yourself from falling into that pit of despair.

Extremely smart way to teach. That’s a trainer

Most solid advice you could ever give someone. Finally grossed out with my quarantine body enough to do something about it again but I take things slow and acclimate to the healthier lifestyle. For me it helps to just consciously eat healthier and then I dont feel so self conscious walking into the gym. Then maybe Ill go and do 30 mins of cardio so I can see the layout of the equipment and get a feel for how busy it is at whatever hours Im going. Then Ill go in and start doing workouts. Even easier if you find a program or regimen to start off with so you dont have to think about anything. Just go in, do the workout, go home Baby steps

“Don’t change your diet” Kevin Hart : “I eat a$$”

No better advice available than this. I was given the same advice by an elite strength athlete back in 1980, when he first pulled me into a gym and introduced me to the habit of working out--apart from the athletics I already engaged in.

he's sooo not wrong. I figured that out on my own and was astounded. when I first started my weight loss journey, I tried a drastic diet and hour long workouts... I copped out in the first week... started over with my diet. upped the protein. then cleaned my carbs. gave myself a cheat day each week. THEN I got into a workout schedule. I started with a 15 minute workout 5 days a week, running a mile, and if I had time left, some low resistance training. In a matter of about 2 months, I dropped 25 pounds... best shape of my life!

I need a guy like this. I would pay for this type of coaching and mentorship

So true. I had to start literally just showing up to the gym before i could get consistent enough to start working out. Then i started looking at my eating, etc
