🚩 3 Red Flags Of Your Exercise Routine 🚩
If you’ve tried working out regularly to lose weight but didn’t get the body you wanted...
That actually makes perfect sense, and here’s why:
There’s a weird misconception that exercise helps you lose body fat—it’s totally wrong.
In fact, when people start exercising, they often overcompensate with food.
“I just trained really hard, it’s time to EAT!”
That was always me—haha. I’d go lift really hard, then hit the Chinese buffet.
Fine if you’re a powerlifter or sumo wrestler, but if you’re trying to lose fat or get a six-pack, that won’t work.
You can exercise 6 days per week, run 10 miles per day, but if you’re eating more calories than you’re burning, you’ll gain body fat.
So, exercising MORE isn’t the solution.
If you want to lose body fat, focus on your macros.
Lifting weights is good for gaining muscle mass. Nutrition programs are good for fat loss.
It’s that simple.
Here are the red flags keeping you soft:
You’re not tracking macros or calories daily
If calories and macros are the only way to lose fat, you have to track them daily. It should only take 10 minutes of your day. Is that worth losing the 20 pounds of fat you’ve been trying to shed for the past decade? Obviously, YES.
You’re not measuring progress weekly with an accountability coach
You HAVE to track your progress and make adjustments. DUH. If you’re not tracking progress, how will you feel good about the direction you’re going? You won’t. Goals give you positive emotion, specifically working toward your goals, getting closer every week. You could be getting positive feedback every week from your weekly check-in... Imagine, “I’m down another pound!!” “6 more to go, and I’ll be at my goal!” or “I’m finally starting to see my six-pack!”
You’re not part of a team with the same goals and accountability
Have you tried this on your own and failed? Were you working with like-minded people on the same path? In a group, with a personal coach, with weekly check-ins while counting your macros? Of course not. That’s why it hasn’t worked. You have to learn the basics from someone who has done it before. I learned from my first bodybuilding competition. Now, I teach others and hold their hand at first, then they learn to walk on their own and in a community.
It’s a foolproof method if you do the work. It’s a body fat loss process that you can replicate every single time, and that’s what I’ve done for my clients.
If you’re a successful man over 35 and are tired of feeling soft, you’ve tried other things that didn’t work, but you’re willing to put in the effort to finally get a six-pack, comment “ready” below and I’ll see what we can do to help you out.
