The Most Neglected Muscle in the Body
Dear Friend,
In 1987, during my first year in the biz of personal fitness training,
long before I came out with my Combat Conditioning I had an 18-year old client named Tim.
He was gung-ho at first. Showed up on time. Worked his
arse off. Never complained.
Then, all of a sudden, after about five weeks, he started
to miss workouts. Despite my "rah rah" talks with him
his behavior didn't change. In fact, it got worse. After seven
weeks in the program, he dropped out. No phone
call. No explanation.
A couple years later, from "out of the blue" Tim called
again. He wanted to come back.
Upon starting back up he explained that the reason he
dropped out before was due to his problems with alchohol
and drugs. Now that he was "clean and sober" - all was
well. There weren't going to be any problems.
But ... true to form, despite giving up the booze and dope,
five weeks into the program and Tim's behavior started to
look the same. He missed a Monday workout - and showed
up late on Wednesday.
This time I gave no "rah rah" talk. I simply confronted Tim
and asked him a number of questions about why he was
missing sessions and coming late. Tim's response was
as follows: "It's raining. I don't feel motivated when it's
raining."
"What makes you think you need to be motivated?" I asked.
Tim had no answer for this one. It was sort of a brain-bender.
So I followed up with, "Which would you rather be - motivated
or focused?"
Tim replied, "Focused."
"That's right," I said. "Now, what's more important to you,
staying home when it's raining or getting your body in
great shape?"
"Getting in great shape," said Tim
"Right again," I said. "Now, how about this. From now on, do
me a favor: Whenever you come up with an excuse for why
you don't want to train, I want you to ask yourself this question:
"What do I want most, to do 'X' or to get into great shape?"
If you do this, I think you'll always be focused."
Tim agreed to do as I requested. Six months later he was
still with me. He never missed another workout. And he got
into kick-butt shape.
Yes, I know what I just described seems simple. But the
best things in life are just that: SIMPLE.
It all boils down, once again, to the questions you ask
yourself: Do you WANT to get fit? Do you really, really,
really WANT to get fit?
Questions focus your mind better than anything.
Strengthen your WANT muscle and your body will follow.
Kick ass - take names!
