Keeping up with the kids!
You just got your DVD’s. This time you really mean it!
You are ready for a commitment, you got rid of the junk food in the house, and could barely sleep the night before you started your new program.
But man, it was tough keeping up. You did your best, and paid the price the next day!!
“I never knew sitting down could cause so much pain.” And “stairs - just became a torture chamber!” Sound familiar?
All that is OK (as long as you didn’t hurt yourself), but there is another way!
Shawn T tells us to Dig Deeper. Tony Horton asks you to Bring It! But when you are just starting out, that may be asking a lot.
Keeping up with the cast of Power 90, P90X, Turbo-fire, or Insanity is TOUGH! Don’t expect to do it right away.
It will come with time. You’ll get better, faster, and stronger every week. But don’t be afraid to MODIFY your moves or hit pause if you need to.
The most important thing you can do to get incredible results is be consistent with your movement and your eating. Intensity is important, too. But when you are starting out, an intense workout may mean marching in place. You need to be okay with that and just keep doing what you can. They say 80% of life is showing up. In fitness it is more like 95%!
Whether you are looking for better health, for weight loss, or to get ripped, it never happens over night.
Enjoy the process, modify if you need to and stick with it!
Do these simple things and you’ll be keeping up with “the kids” before you know it.
Keep pushing play,
Dr. Kevin
