Days turn in to weeks, weeks to months and months to years, and if you’ve been consistent enough over years you will have lead a healthy, happy and successful life. Here’s how we do it at Ferra Fitness:
Keep your eye on people that are leaner, stronger and more muscular than you and are clearly within and within your grasp. “Hey, I can look better than that in 2 months if I’m committed every day”. Observe how they work out and ask questions.
Maintain constant mirror checks. You may be accused of being vain but this is another great way of assessing your progress and visualizing the new you. The best times to check are on rising and before bed and while you’re there, hit a few poses like some side chests, double biceps, glute and ab/thigh squeezes and a few hundred calf raises. You’ll get leaner and more flexible if you devote 10-15 minutes a day to posing.
Whenever you get the chance to be physically active, be it,. Whether its running errands around the city, mopping the kitchen floor, or mowing the lawn. Keeping on the go will help you burn more fat.
Every Sunday of each week write up an ‘I wont and/or ‘I will’ list and stick it to your fridge door. From the beginning of your program choose two ‘baddies’ each week to eliminate from your current meal plan or two good deeds to perform. Eg. ‘I will not eat any dairy products at all this week’ and ‘I will walk every day this week for 45 minutes. Once you’re where you want to be you can slowly introduce some dairy occasionally and ease up on the walking to 4 days a week. Start Monday OK!
If you really have to, junk out once a week (that’s one meal a week of one civilised plate) and that’s it. Enjoy it immensely and move on. Any other processed food that comes your way should be thrown in the trash, because lets face it, it’s better there than in your body.
Go on a mass grocery shopping spree (stock up for 1- 2 weeks) of whole, healthy foods and empty your shelves of all junk food.
Organize a photo shoot with your partner, trainer, friend or a photographer every 4 weeks. Your goal? To clearly improve each time.
