The Top 3 Reasons People Struggle to Get In Shape (And How to Fix It)

The REAL reason why you’re struggling to get the body you want

(Hint: For 90% of people, most of the game of health/fitness... is more psychological than physical. We’re going to deep dive this topic today)

First off - whether you want to get in shape for your health, or just to have a great body for summer...

Most people try to get there using surface level solutions: 

? Cookie cutter programs 

? One-size-fits-all diets

? ‘Magic’ Supplements that might work short term but mess up your metabolism and hormones long term

Surface level solutions don’t work for 2 reasons:

1 - They don’t focus on building long term habits needed to keep your results

2 - They lack the degree of 1-1 customization needed to truly get the BEST results

Beyond that

Psychologically speaking... 

Most people struggle to stay consistent past the first few weeks

And for those of you who ARE able to stay consistent...

You hit a plateau because the lack of customization & scientific knowledge makes it impossible to break past that plateau

Now, for most people, we tend to see 3 main problems

In this article, I’m going to share my philosophy that allows me to get great results for my clients by solving these top 3 problems 

Let’s face the facts - 

1 - You’re busy and find it hard to prioritize your health/fitness, especially when you get REALLY busy

2 - Working while seated in front of a desk 8-12+ hours per day negatively affects your posture and energy levels, which makes it harder to work out and stay injury free

3 - You work hard and enjoy rewarding yourself with delicious food at the end of a long day (as you should, within the right parameters)

Which means you’ll need solutions to all 3 of the above

(Not to mention the fact that gyms were closed for 12-15 months since last March, but that’s easy to work around if your gym is still closed...)

So let’s focus on the 3 main factors holding you back

We’ll start with the surface level, then go deeper

Part 1 - Time Management, Prioritization, and Overcoming Psychological Barriers

If you’re busy, logistically speaking you need a time efficient strategy to meal prep and train 

So that you can get the results you want (whether fat loss, muscle growth, or both)

AND keep it up long-term.

We’ve taken care of that inside of our free Metabolic Method Ebook

(For those who haven’t already gotten access to this, comment 'Metabolic Method' if you want access)

So let’s go a level deeper and figure out the REAL hidden psychological forces that are actually holding you back

I have clients who work 100 hours per week and still find a way to prioritize their fitness

So what’s stopping you if you only work 60-80?

Kids?

Partner?

Something else?

I’ve seen it all and the only real thing that holds you back is more mental than logistical, especially considering the amount of time efficient solutions out there, and the amount of other people out there who are more busy than you, yet still prioritize and take consistent action on their health/fitness goals.

Sometimes change must happen at the identity level, meaning we need to break down:

Habits

Mindset

Environment and Identity

Without actually reprogramming your destructive habits

Shifting self-sabotaging thoughts and replacing them with successful productive thoughts & a self-concept/identity that supports success + the results you want

...And strategically setting up your environment to support your goals instead of working against them

It’s too easy to fall off track and put your goals on the backburner

This is highly personalized so drop a comment or direct message and I can send you some more in depth info on this, or consult you personally about it

We also have a free FB support group so if you’re on FB, send me a message and I’ll send you an invite

Part 2 - Posture, Energy, and Injury Prevention

Next up, let’s dive into posture and energy

You work hard, long hours, and aren’t going to feel like working out if your body is stiff, tight, and painful in any specific area, after working all day/week long.

So we need to put together strategies to fix your posture, loosen you up, improve your energy, and get you feeling good again, which makes getting to the gym less difficult and sometimes something you'll actually enjoy.

The 3 main posture issues that hold people back, rob you of your energy, and make you prone to injury are:

1 - Forward head posture

2 - Tight shoulders/chest/neck

3 - Tight hips/lower back/anterior pelvic tilt

I’ve put together a comprehensive PDF + Video guide on how to fix all 3 of the above so comment ‘Posture Playbook’ and I’ll send it to you.

And finally, Part 3 - Food Addiction (I think all of us are addicted to good food at some level, the key is how you leverage this to produce the results you want)

If you enjoy delicious food after a long hard day of work

(Who doesn’t?)

Then we need to find ways to fit your favorite foods in

Boost your metabolism so you can utilize those foods for muscle instead of fat

And find healthy, sustainable, efficient ways to create the flavors and textures you crave in your food

I’m a foodie and pride myself on my chef’s abilities

So I’ve got this handled for you as well 

(Comment ‘Recipe Book’ and I’ll send you the recipes that will make this easy for you)

You already know my philosophy on cooking if you've seen my cooking videos before: add your favorite blends of low calorie seasoning to the meals that already fit your macros, and use the meal prep strategies in my recipe book to make it time efficient so you spend less than 30-40 mins PER WEEK cooking.
