The secret to leaning down, getting shredded, and staying in this beach body shape for the rest of your life is simple. It’s not a sexy trick, magic pill or silver bullet. It is CONSISTENCY.
What is consistency?
It is doing the right things, in the right way, and at the right time. Today. Tomorrow. And every single day after that. It means never skipping or de-prioritizing your healthy eating or your workouts. (Well, at least never skipping them for too many days in a row.)
Routines make us who we are
Consistency builds routine, which in turn builds habits, which then build lifestyles. It may take a little while to create the habit, but once it’s there it is pretty difficult to quit any habit. I remember a time when I dreaded running. Now, it would literally be harder for me to force myself not to run than to just go for a run. After you do the same thing over and over and over it becomes automatic, something like breathing. And not being able to do it becomes painful and unmanageable.
Make health automatic
You don’t wake up every morning and make a conscious decision to open your eyes, to breathe, to have your heart beat. And that’s what you want to get to with your workouts and way of eating. You wake up, put on your workout clothes, and get your exercise in for the day. That is just part of your routine, part of your day. There is no extraordinary effort to work out, it’s just naturally part of all the processes that make your body feel good.
The easiest way to do this is by following a Mission Lean program that has already been designed for you. If you’re ready to begin your journey, start today.
Stick with it and you’ll get there!
