Phone Coaching enables you to do something different than in years gone by: you can actually gain fitness traction and morph that body!
Stupidity (or insanity) is proverbially defined as doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. Nowhere is this hackneyed adage more accurate than in the crazed world of New Year's fitness resolutions.
It is only natural that so many individuals feel compelled to make a resolute resolution to improve upon their current fitness state-of-being. To paraphrase Dean Wormer in the movie Animal House, "Fat, stupid and out-of-shape is no way to go through life son." It is only natural that pollsters, and those who keep track of such things, repeatedly determine that fitness-related New Year resolutions continually rank at the top of any and all resolutions. With so many people determined to improve their health and fitness, with so many individuals concerned about the shape and current configuration of their physiques - why do 99% of all resolvers fail so miserably and so predictably? If you are one of the millions of fitness resolution makers, is there a way to break the Sisyphusian cycle? Are you doing the same thing (making a fitness resolution) over and over (year after year) in the same way (using orthodox fitness templates) and expecting different results? (A radically transformed physique.)
Perhaps this year it is time for you to step outside the box of conventional fitness thinking and utilize a completely different solution for the same nagging problem.
The question is this: Is there a way that you can restructure your approach towards body renovation that steps completely outside the box of conventional fitness thinking as it relates to New Year resolutions?
First let us examine the goal: what is it all fitness resolution makers seek? At the root-core they all seek a renovated body. What constitutes successful physical renovation? The answer is simple: we seek to obtain a significant decrease in body fat and a significant increase in muscle mass. Though resolution seekers would have wildly varied and divergent goals, all of them can be achieved by: obtaining muscle and reducing body fat. Let us show you the wildly varied resolutions that have the same solution...
Resolution: "I want to lose twenty pounds and look great at the class reunion in May."
Solution: Oxidize stored body fat, build muscle.
Resolution: "Now that I've turned 50, I want to retard or slow the aging process."
Solution: Oxidize stored body fat, build muscle.
Resolution: "My doctor says I am becoming a diabetic and I want to curtail this trend."
Solution: Oxidize stored body fat, build muscle.
Resolution: "My wife is losing interest in me as a lover."
Solution: Oxidize stored body fat, build muscle.
Resolution: "I can't fit into any of my clothes anymore."
Solution: Oxidize stored body fat, build muscle.
Resolution: "I have no energy and I am continually stressed out."
Solution: Oxidize stored body fat, build muscle.
Resolution: "I want to make the varsity athletic team."
Solution: Oxidize stored body fat, build muscle.
You get the idea...all fitness resolutions (despite differing goals) can achieve fruition by successfully and favorably altering body composition. The problems begin when you seek viable solutions to oxidizing fat and building muscle.
There are millions of motivated, sincere individuals, people ready, willing and able to generate the requisite effort, devote the necessary time and energy needed to actually create a fully realized physical metamorphosis - what they lack is an effective game plan and a competent advisor to provide "in-flight" monitoring.
As we age, the battle to lose fat and add muscle develops a sense of urgency. With the passing of each year the need to "do something" about physical disintegration morphs from ego and vanity into something more profound: the need to avert, forestall or correct a cataclysmic health catastrophe.
This sense of fitness urgency usually correlates to the warnings of a physician: perhaps a heart attack is a distinct possibility; perhaps the doctor alerts you that a stroke or some obesity-related disease lies just around the next chronologic corner. As the years pass by, the need to improve the configuration and condition of the body shifts from ego, self-esteem and attracting the opposite sex into the gravitas of life and death. Someone once said (and I paraphrase) that clarity comes easily to a man about to be hung. No one is more cognizant about the advantages of health and fitness than someone caught in the clutches of some health disaster.
As we age, fitness becomes a method by which we extend the quality and quantity of life. We use fitness to hold back the hands of time. As the great Irish Philosopher Mae West once said when quizzed how old she was, "Honey - It ain't the age - it's the mileage!"
For many sick and enfeebled folks, it is too late for fitness. For the motivated and intelligent it is never too late. Back to our premise that stupidity (or insanity) is defined as doing the same thing over and over and expecting differing results: how many times, how many years, how many dollars must we stupidly spend on our doomed attempts to gain fitness traction? Rolling into the year 2009, perhaps it is time to grasp the fact that purchasing a new piece of exercise equipment, going on the latest fad diet, joining or reactivating a gym membership, purchasing the latest miracle nutritional supplement, hiring an expensive personal trainer - are all more variations of 'doing the same thing over and over.' Is it psychologically possible to break this old fitness tape loop and step completely outside the "Box" of conventional fitness groupthink?
Our fitness efforts fail because they are fragmented. Boot camps, Pilates, Power Yoga, Step Aerobic Class, Spin Class, weight training, jogging, dieting using the latest tactic - you name the fitness method or mode and taken singularly they are all doomed to failure. Every singular fitness undertaking cannot and will not, in and of itself, deliver the renovated body you seek. Each caters to one small sliver of the overall fitness equation. Unless unilateral homage is paid in a balanced fashion to four separate and distinct disciplines failure is a foregone conclusion. Every effective fitness game plan needs...
1. a resistance training element
2. a cardiovascular training element
3. a nutritional game plan
4. psychological recalibration
Better to do a little resistance training, a little cardio, a little nutrition and a little Brain-Train than to immerse yourself in one, two or even three of the four fitness disciplines. My beautiful Irish wife (rightfully) calls me "Mr. Analogous" so I ask your forbearance with my amazingly appropriate analogy: imagine spending considerable time and a mountain of money constructing a race car. You spend gobs of cash constructing a 600 horsepower racing engine; the suspension is state-of-the-art, the vehicle has been sent to the wind tunnel and streamlined...everything is perfect with one glaring exception: you have only one tire. Without four tires (weight training/cardio/nutrition/brain-train) the most elaborate and exotic racecar is a nonstarter. Sort of like your doomed fragmented fitness efforts...without the inclusion and disciplined execution of the four interlinked and integrated fitness elements, without balance and precision, you are caught in the fitness tape-loop of doing the same thing over and over - yet expecting different results.
Phone coaching; stepping outside the box of conventional fitness groupthink: I have phone coached elite athletes for twenty five years. I am talking Hall-of-fame athletes. I developed a formalized system for long distance coaching that yielded phenomenal results. I eventually tired of being on the telephone for hours at a time in what seemed a never-ending stream of training-related phone calls. Working with elite athletes preparing for national and international competitions is nerve-wracking: with so much riding on the outcome, a series of missteps can derail six months of work. In the end, it all became too much and I retired from coaching. A decade later and I found myself drawn back into the coaching world. This was directly attributable to two significant developments that advanced the art of "remote coaching."
The advent of the internet eliminated the need to communicate all information verbally. Instead of endless phone calls, calls that nailed me down to a particular place and time, individuals could e-mail me training and nutrition results and I could e-mail them back with comments and the next step - Halleluiah!
The second major change was my decision to no longer work with competitive athletes, rather to work with 'regular' individuals. I found that working with motivated normal people intent and committed to "the process" was both refreshing and reinvigorating. It was far easier and much less stressful to elicit results from untrained individuals than from a champion already at 90% of their awesome genetic potential. Plus normal folks weren't cursed with preconceptions and didn't debate me over every strategic move.
Using Purposefully Primitive methods on relatively untrained individuals proved to be unbelievably beneficial and effective. Across the demographic board, clients of every age and every degree of fitness or un-fitness made staggering progress at a rapid rate. It was gratifying beyond words to be able to reach out and help those sincere individuals in need of help. My formalized procedure is simple and effective: I set up a customized resistance and cardio training regimen. I set up a custom nutritional game plan - all of which is based upon the individual's situation and available time. Equally as important as devising a customized training and nutritional template, I monitor progress three times a week via e-mail and once a week I talk on the phone with the individual, discussing what has happened and what we are projecting to happen in the coming week. They know what is expected of them and they know I will be 'looking over their shoulder.'
I analyze each individual training session and based upon performance provide a prescription for the next session. Nutrition is leveraged to achieve weekly fat loss goals. At the beginning of the process we set up an overarching game plan and set the plan into a timeframe: the big goal is subdivided into small weekly increments. We establish weekly mini-goals and if each weekly mini-goal is attained, we eventually end up at the predetermined overall goal. The overall goal is profound: physical transformation. On four separate occasions each and every week, week in, week out, I offer input in the form of e-mails and a phone call. I continually issue 'report cards.'
If you are interested in stepping outside the orthodox box of conventional fitness groupthink, if you are ready to break the Sisyphus-like tape-loop of unfulfilled fitness resolutions, if you are using the fractured and fragmented fitness modes and methods and netting substandard, unsatisfying results - contact me at www.mgso@embarqmail.com.
For less than the price of a personal trainer you can sink your teeth into something substantive and satisfying, something that actually yields real results for regular people: tangible, irrefutable, uncontestable, indisputable results. Body fat is systematically reduced while simultaneously new muscle tissue is built. If you are sick and tired of making the same old resolutions that yield the same predictable non-results, drop me an e-mail.
