Low Hanging Fruit

Whether you’ve been training with us for years, months, weeks, days, or haven’t started yet, you’ll need to read this.

I’ve seen a lot of people start a fitness and nutrition program like gangbusters. Training four times a week, following a meal plan to a tee, prepping all their food in advance, cutting out the junk and alcohol, and behaving like they’re shooting Deadpool 3 in 6 months.

Inevitably, what happens?

The reality hits that too much of a good thing may not be sustainable … at least not at first.

So, if you’re starting, don’t go all in or try to be perfect.

And if you’re in a rut with your training, nutrition, or both, don’t fall into the “all or nothing”” trap.

In both cases, you can stick with your program longer and minimize the length and frequencies of those “getting off track” moments by picking the low-hanging fruit first.

Instead of trying to train every day, start with two training sessions a week. Hell, do a few light stretches and go for a 30 minute walk. Make it easy and as sustainable as it needs to be.

Build some success and confidence for a couple of weeks or a few months and then ramp up your commitment.

Instead of overhauling everything about your diet, identify the most glaring omission (Fruits and veggies? Protein? Water?) and work on being consistent with that for two weeks. Then move onto the next habit for two weeks and keep building from there.

When you consistently nail the low-hanging fruit victories, new fruit will grow and appear from your actions making your commitment to a stronger, healthier, happier you more sustainable and enjoyable
