Hey, what's going on Nation? And Happy New Year 2019 has arrived and I know
a lot of you are already going strong
With keeping up with your goals, and I'm so proud of you all, but I do have to apologize
I haven't really been posting anything for about four weeks
Because I've had just so much stuff to do getting my new home ready, but I'm here now and believe it or not
I'm standing in my future home gym right now
So many exciting things are coming guys and to ensure you all make 2019 your best year of fitness yet
I want to go over my five best tips to get fit
But before we get started be sure to download my app muscular strength
I just recently added my full body program full body
Evolution and don't forget to click that notification bell
So you never miss a new video upload from me and I do want to apologize
In advance if it sounds a little bit echoey. It's because the room is empty
There's nothing in here yet. But once all the equipment's in we're gonna be good to go. Alright guys, so the first
and possibly most important tip you need in your get fit and 2019 plan is
Making a serious commitment now
Although this is a very easy thing to do or say most people tend to screw it up anyways
And that's exactly why you'll come across
Crowded gyms at the start of January and then by March 80% of those people are gone
But making a commitment is much more than just saying I want to lose weight or I want to build muscle you need
Substance behind your goals in order to make them important enough to you in order to stick to them
For example, my 2019 goal is to get back to how thick and lean I was back in 2013
Back, then I didn't have as many
Responsibilities I was eating much better and I was training a lot harder as well. But to be perfectly honest
I'm not too far off from that goal right now. So mentally, where is the urgency to even complete this goal?
Well guys that urgency to push myself has come in the form of looking like an absolute
beast
My Broly costume that I'm having custom-made. I plan on cosplaying like a madman once I get my hands on it
But you can't adorn the Broly gauntlets and necklace
Unless you're ripped and shredded in full now I will admit I'll never have them legendary Broly shoulders
But achieving that base form Super Saiyan look is definitely attainable and now it may sound silly
But that's what I mean by giving yourself a real reason to reach your goals because that is a real reason for me
You have to give you a goal substance and meaning
And also keep in mind that it only takes about 21 days to form a new habit
So hit that pause button right now and comment below what your goals are for 2019
I want to read them all and offer help to any of you who might need it
The second thing you need is a game plan and you don't even need a gym
Subscription in order to have one now, the gym might be a good idea
Especially if you find that it motivates you to train among the like-minded people
But if the gym is not an option for you for whatever reason
Training from home is just as good but you still need a game plan guys
I've been in this industry for over 20 years and I've always noticed that people who start lifting without a plan soon become lost and
Simply don't train as hot as they could because they have zero
direction when they start their workout
newbie gains only lasts for about a month or so and if you want to stay committed to your goals you're going to need to
see
Continuous gains. So whether you're trading from home or at the gym
I have full 12-week programs for each and every one of you available on my app and website
Muscularstrength.com number three is get your meal plan right
your results in the gym stat and end with your meal plan
Period there is no discussing this if your efforts in the gym are not accompanied by a solid meal plan
You can wave your progress
Goodbye, before it even begins
But don't get a twist of guys nutrition is not as complicated as it's been made out to be in the fitness industry
All it takes is just a small conscious effort on your part and it will over time
Become habit just like lifting and yeah
It may be a bit harder to start out counting calories and macros at first
but eventually it becomes a part of who you are
and you'll even be able to know roughly how many calories and macros you're
Consuming without even having to use a calculator. It just becomes second nature
So start out first by getting a rough estimate of what your calories and macros
should be based on your goal using my free fitness
Calculator then from there. All you have to do is start eating healthy foods
I actually have a great article written by my friend. Tim called the healthy shopping list for life
That will give you a rundown of healthy choices of foods to fit your macros
And for those of you who are using my app just pop into the meal plan section and let the program guide you to picking
The right foods and meals it's that easy and now number four is a little different
It's don't get mad if you miss a workout and while it is true that results come from
consistency that doesn't necessarily
pertain to
consistently hitting chest every Monday
Okay, if you miss your workout on Monday
Don't sweat it as long as your meal plan is on point
you'll not suffer a setback then just move your Monday workout to Tuesday and keep going with your
Programming if you want Fitness to become a part of your lifestyle guys
You have to treat it as such and what I mean by that is that our lives are not 100% predictable
Things happen that we have no control over and we are forced to make adjustments
Well the same thing goes for your fitness routine
You won't always be able to have it the way you want it
so just get it in your head that it's okay to adjust and adapt when needed and
Finally number five and let me warn you it's about to get real here. Get your mind right as humans
We will always find reasons excuses limitations and obstacles when it comes to reaching personal goals
We even have a place for posting about it. It's called Facebook
but even though a five page rant might make you feel better
and then all your friends liking your posts and commenting about how
Amazing you are and don't worry about it. And don't worry. You're fine
The way you are right now might make you feel better at the end of the day
You're just being lazy and proving to the world that you are a failure who can't follow through with anything
Even if that thing is important to you and those people commenting kissing your ass are only enabling failure
Because those comments make them feel justified to give up on their goals
Whatever they may be the truth might hurt, but it's still the truth
The only real obstacle is your mindset and the fact is that anyone around
you who seems smarter stronger and more accomplished
Probably started out the same as you
However, they managed to get their mind right and made success a part of it of life not ranting on Facebook
I hope this video helps give each and every one of you the confidence to really kick your butt into gear in 2019
And if you're ready to smash all your goals
Be sure to do the same to that like button and as always more good stuff coming soon. See you guys
