The reality of getting in shape is that anyone can achieve their goals……you often hear this said in all aspects of self improvement but when it comes to body shape it is certainly applicable. Most people will give you many a reason why they haven’t achieved their goal and often these reasons include why it is impossible for them to get their ideal body. The truth though is the opposite of this… the main reason are given below –
Scroll down below the video for the rest of the written article on this –
Your Physiology – While most people are hiding behind their self imposed limitations physiology tells us that there is nothing stopping you losing body fat. If I was to take you off the street and lock you in a room where I controlled your food and only gave you the meals after you had walked a certain distance on a treadmill….. you would lose weight. While you may not enjoy the process and you may well feel awful at times you would lose body fat and you would not suffer any major health issues. That is because nothing at a physiological level is stopping you losing fat. This is backed up in research where the only government implemented weight loss plan that has ever worked was food rationing.
The real world of course is not ever going to accept food rationing and I doubt I will be able to lock any of my clients in a room to force fat loss. However, the point is still important. It is not a biochemical reason you are not in the shape you want to be. It is behavioural.
Your Life Situation – Many people will say they can’t lose weight because of their …….. Job, social life, family, friends, children, busy schedule, lack of money etc. The good news is that the real world has examples of people being successful from every single possible situation there could be. If you look around you will see that from every walk of life you will find someone who is in good shape…. you will also find someone who previously was out of shape to go on to get their goals. This applies to pretty much every circumstance – Busy work executives, single parents, unemployed, disabled people, old age pensioners, school children. You name it…. someone has already done it from your exact circumstances.
If your physiology is not stopping you and your life situation can be worked around…. then what is stopping you?? One of the best things about health and fitness goals is that there is no scarcity. Everyone can get in the shape they want. Likewise, unlike most other goals in life there is no one who can stop you achieving success. Unlike business and work for example, where you have to deal with other people. Getting in shape is simply solo quest where what you do / don’t do determines your results.
Check Your Goals
One point to note where your goals may be impossible is something I have seen over the years with some clients. While you are in full control of your body fat and muscle levels some peoples’ goals are actually impossible to achieve. I have seen women who want hips thinner than their hip bones, I have seen people randomly pull out a goal weight that would not be possible if they were 0% body fat. It is always important to check you are not running an impossible goal because once you know that your goals is achievable there is nothing standing in your way to get there.
