WORK AND BE PATIENT

WORK AND BE PATIENT

We live in a world of truly instant gratification. Almost everything is available to us easily and instantly. Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat dominate our lives (ironic that I am posting this here, I know). If we want media, we can instantly stream it through Youtube, Netflix, Spotify or many others. Want to get somewhere? Uber.  Need food? Deliveroo or Just Eat. These things are all great, sure, but as habits they can be destructive. We become conditioned to expecting results instantly and easily.

 

This simply will not wash when it comes to making changes to your fitness and physique. Nothing will be instant and an App cannot do the work for you. There is no quick fix or “secret trick” to weight loss or muscle. One healthy meal now and again is not enough. One good workout now and then is not enough either. Making changes to your fitness and physique takes time and it takes hard work but the hard work will pay off.

 

Build excellent habits and excellence will follow. Control your nutrition in line with your goals and follow a training programme that is designed to get you where you want to be.

 

Stay determined and be consistent and you will get there.
