as you go into this new week you may feel blocked
Perhaps you started a new diet and you fell off already
Or maybe you joined a new gym and haven't been for 2+ weeks
RED FLAG!!
It's disgustingly easy to justify the failing. Your failing.
Here are some classic excuses:
Why did you fail on your diet?
"I was at a wedding!"
"I was travelling with work!"
"My husband bought us a takeaway!"
"I was eating out with friends!"
Scientifically, of course, we know these statements are BS!
Read More#1 - You'll learn from other members
Many of our RISE program members have been exactly where you are right now.
> overweight
> stressed
> physically unfit
> weak
> confused about nutrition
By asking the team (all the members at RSG) for advice you will immediately have several little tips to add to your training, nutrition and lifestyle!
Read MoreHave you ever wondered why when you need to go to the gym, or do sprints, or do your final piece of a project your brain magically finds other things to do?
It’s like YOU think, “well I really need to finish writing my report or I’ll be in trouble.”
But your BRAIN thinks, “yes but have you seen those videos of cucumbers scaring cats?!”
You then find yourself on youtube. Not writing that report.
This is exactly the same as your training. You know what you need to do to achieve your goals, you do! Want to bench 100kg? Want to deadlift 200kg? Then next time you’re in the gym ask yourself the following question;
“Am I being effective? Or doing useless stuff?”
Read MoreMost people go from never training, straight to attempting to show up.
But what happens?
The schedule creaks, cracks and compromises.
Excuses sweet talk you into quitting as you drive home.
Not being prepared and procrastinating wastes potential workout time.
Then you quit.
Instead, take baby steps towards training becoming a regular part of your life.
Put yourself first, and ask for support from those around you.
Use this simple method to drop the excuses, see that you've failed to stay healthy...
...and DO something about it.
Read MoreGuess what I’ve just realised?!
I read a lot but just realised that I never talk about what I read! So today I’d like to share a book I truly love, because I think it could help you.
Read MoreToday I'm aiming to describe what I believe are the TWO ‘must-haves’ when it comes to a fitness program. Meaning that without these bases covered, you’ll find it easy to quit. Self-deception will be rife each day. You’ll go weeks without training then suddenly feel guilty.
Sound familiar?
Let’s jump in:
1) STRUCTURE

BEST OF THE WEEK
Fitness has got a bad reputation:
> overly complex advice
> differing opinions
> extremely boring and strict methods
Which leads people to flat out give up.
In my opinion, giving up is never a good option.
Especially when we’re talking about giving up on your own health, strength and really, your sanity!
So is there such thing as an easy fitness plan?
Read MoreWhen we look at fitness and training at RSG we always try to first look at the science behind any fact that is thrown our way. The problem with doing that nowadays is that everything can be very easily ‘backed up’ by science and sometimes looking at the “facts” just adds to the confusion.
The main issue is that anybody and everybody can voice their opinion and due to the digital world, we live in, we can all see it.
