For change you need challenges. As a personal trainer, I educate my personal training clients on this by aiming for continuous improvement in every personal training session.
Amazing bodies are not made by just eating well and exercising.
They are made by causing a Stressful Physical adaption on the body that is then give time to recover.
This is done on a regular basis as long as sufficient recovery is achieved via adequate sleep, good nutrition and avoiding over training.
Have you ever noticed individuals in the gym who train hard every day and still look exactly the same a year later? You see just training hard is not enough if you want to change your body.
To change your body you need to constantly change your training plan, by this I mean every single time you train.
By doing what you have done you will get what you have got.
People often wonder how I can change in body shape relatively quickly when I seem to walk into the gym and almost walk straight back out again.
You see as long as you challenge the body it doesn’t matter how big the change is, it recognises a big change and a small change exactly the same, it just reads it as CHANGE.
So if you want to change the way you look fast just like my personal training clients in Manchester do, you need to challenge yourself every single session.
Here is the simplest workout program you could do that would benefit you on a weekly basis.
Train 1 x per week for 10-15 minutes, but this is no ordinary 10-15 minute training session, this is hell, but it’s just 10-15 minutes.
Before this workout you want to get fully mentally prepared and train like your training for your partners life. (Basically train like a beast)
Below is 7 exercises, pick a weight that you would normally do 8 repetitions on just and you are aiming to smash that on this program, aiming for at least 12 reps. You are only doing one set so give it everything.
In terms of progression, ensure you do more reps every session, once you reach 20 reps increase the weight.
Ok here we go, 7 exercise a week and you could be looking fantastic. (Note this program will get you strong, lean but not big, more volume is needed if looking for size.)
Deadlift x failure
Leg Press x failure
Military Press x failure
Lat Pulldown x failure
Bench Press x failure
Seated Row x failure
Walking Lunges x failure
Go give it a go and see how much stronger you are next month, how much more energetic you are by the end of this week and how much more time you will have to do the things you love.
