Momentum - When Most People Give Up, Keep Going!

February 6, 2015
Okay, this is my post for week 3. I know it's a few days late, but SO WHAT!?! Just kidding. I'll try to be more prompt in the future. Anyways, in this weeks video I just wanted to quickly talk about keeping your momentum in order to see results, because results will motivate you to keep working harder. Bodybuilding.com recently wrote an article about how most people give up after two or three weeks of a workout plan. I can't find the article again, but you can search for it, and probably find it. I just want to remind people that you will not see results immediately, and that might discourage some of you, but I promise you that if you just stick it out past when most people give up, then you WILL see results, and once you do, you will start to feel better about yourself, and the visible results will motivate you to keep up the hard work in order to achieve further results, so keep plowing forward, and seek positive reinforcement from those close to you if you need to, but don't give up.
Motivational tip of the week: In the movie "Pumping Iron" Arnold Schwarzenegger talks about training with intensity. Make sure you are the hardest working person in the gym. Don't worry about making silly faces, because hard work is contagious. PUSH IT!!!
Fitness tip of the week: When performing chest and back exercises, use a wide grip to give your upper torso that wide appearance. V
Nutrition tip of the week: Make sure you are getting enough protein each day, especially before and after your workout. If possible, try to take some quick dissolving protein, such as whey protein, within 15-30 minutes after a workout. Casein protein is a slower dissolving protein, which is great for taking before bed.
