I was thinking one day what it really and truly takes to change your body for the better. Whether the goal is to gain muscle, lose fat, run faster, or whatever, what does it take? I started thinking about it for my own quest for what I strive for and for those I train and as much as I want to say something easy like a new routine or the latest and greatest, all it takes is blood, sweat, and tears. It takes a constant push towards improving yourself by giving everything you've got every time. It's about setting your goal, visualizing it, and then doing whatever it takes to get there.
I can tell you what won't get you there and that's a lack of intensity in your training using the bare minimum in what you can lift each and every time, never progressing, and doing a ton of exercises to “sculpt” your body. If you follow what I say of train hard, train heavy, and train efficiently, you'd be leagues above 99% of the population. Most people don't train hard enough to see real results. You have to push yourself to a place you've never been if you want to see results you've never seen. Do the same thing over and over again and expect the same mediocre results. What you should doe is run that extra mile, sprint that extra hill, tack on some more weight on that bar or pick a heavier kettlebell. Whatever it is, push yourself harder, heavier and more efficiently and you will see results, guaranteed. There is no magic pill, nutritional supplement or “super” food. My unfortunate dose of reality is that changing your body is a grind where mental and physical weakness must be conquered and the result is a body you can be proud of.
