Fort Worth Personal Trainers: What Russian Paratroopers Can Teach You about Fat Loss and Fitness (VIDEO)
“Whenever I hear someone say. One day I’m going to… As soon as this or that happens I’m going to…or
Someday I’m going to…I always wonder why someday? How about, lets do this right now.”
-Dave Fannin
There’s a story about how Russian Paratroopers were trained in contrast to our American military.
In the U.S. Airborne school is 3 weeks in duration with the first week being ground week, the second tower week, and the third jump week.
This gives the soldier a lot of time to think about all the (possible) things that could go wrong on his first jump.
That’s why it’s a step by step procedure designed to build habits to create familiarity to overcome that fear of exiting the aircraft the first time.
It’s a crawl, walk, run order that’s common to training in the US.
While safe and very American this gives the aspiring paratrooper plenty of time to imagine all the possible fatal things that could occur on his first jump.
Contrast that with Russia.
In the Ryazan Airborne School in Russia the cadets aren’t told what the training will consist of and/or when they will make their first jump.
Day one is fitting of the parachute and safety.
Day 2 is properly exiting the aircraft, flight position, and landing position.
Day 3 at 3am the cadets are awakened taken to the airfield, fitted with parachutes, and make their first jump.
The idea behind this fast succession of events is it gives the cadet no time to become afraid, by imagining the 100’s of possible things that could go wrong on their first jump.
They have no idea on day 1 they’ll be jumping in 2 days time. No one tells them. Even if they did they’re so busy they don’t have time to think about all the possible problems and injuries and the possibility of death.
They just GO!
What do Russian Paratroopers have to do with your weight loss and fitness then?
To start.
You’ve got to get started.
Because the farther out you put that start date.
The more you’re going to think about it.
All the things you’ll have to change.
All the possible things that could go wrong.
The possiblility that you might fail.
All kinds of bad things happen when you wait..”for the right time”
THe BEST way to start is to..
Get started.
Today.
Some of my very best clients over the years, found me in the morning on google.
Called the office.
Met with me at noon.
And started that evening.
In the same amount of time that one person is “thinking about it”…
My new client has…
Worked out 3-4 times,
Changed some of their eating habits,
Are sleeping better,
Getting their energy back
And often have already dropped 5 to 10 pounds.
Success loves speed.
