Structure

I've seen this happen more times than I care to count.

Two people start a fitness program at about the same time. They have about the same body type and goals. Neither one has a clear advantage over the other.

Yet one person gets dramatic results quickly, while the other continues to flounder and struggle.

What's the difference? What separates one from the other?

Simple: It's structure.

All of us, myself included, perform better when we're following some kind of structured plan. It's no different with fitness. Going to a big commercial gym with no guidance, no one to motivate you and no plan to follow isn't going to get the results that you want. But following a structured workout program and simple nutrition guide -- both prescribed by an experienced, certified coach -- can make all the difference between life-changing results and giving up.

Structure takes all the guesswork out of achieving your fitness goals:

-- Knowing what exercises to do, how many days a week, and how many sets and reps allows your body to respond to the training in a way that can't happen when you're following a random, haphazard approach.

-- Knowing what to eat, and how much, shifts your metabolism into fat-burning mode and helps preserve lean muscle.

-- A structured support system -- with access to knowledgeable experts and people with similar goals and challenges -- can help you power through when the going gets tough.

You can take the guesswork out of fitness. But you can’t do it without a structured plan. If you’d like to share your goals and challenges so we can come up with what a good plan might look like for you, just shoot me a reply.
