Starting Your Fitness Journey

Start by building momentum, not chasing soreness. A minimum of two full-body workouts per week and daily walking beat any “six-day split” you’ll quit by week two. You don’t need perfection, you need consistency and progression.

Training has a plan and you have a specific goal you need to accomplish. Training tracks progress, includes recovery, and builds something specific. Workout out is random movement that burns calories, but it’s more difficult to track progress.

Yes. A lot of my Virtual clients train from home, with their own equipment (dumbbells and resistance bands). The gym provides more tools; your results still depend on what you do with your workout time what you’re doing (eating, drinking, sleeping) outside of the workout.

Noticeable energy and mobility improvements is totally dependent on the individual. Visible muscle or fat-loss change is dependent on the consistency of your daily food intake. The key is to be consistent with your efforts for most of your day.

You don’t need a personal trainer. There are various outlets online that provide a generic exercise program. The reason why you have a coach is to make sure you show up for your workout and track your progress. The coach can’t do the work for you.

You can lose weight by focusing on building strength. True weight loss doesn’t come from the exercise, it comes from your daily food choices. Technically, any exercise helps you reach your weight loss goals.

Chasing intensity instead of identifying the root cause of their weight gain. You don’t need to remove all the things you enjoy daily. It’s about moderation and staying consistent.

Training builds the demand; nutrition delivers the supply. You can’t out-train a bad diet (I’ve been there), and you can’t diet your way out of bad training. Most people fix their progress the day they hit consistent protein and H20 goals.

In the words of David Goggins, “Motivation is $h*t.” Being discipline, showing up to do the work when you;re tired, and eating a boring diet leads to results. Schedule your health goals as if you need to go to work. We all have bills to pay.
