What a Navy SEAL Can Teach You about Beating Procrastination

bryanglenn-webversion

“The failure to act is much more often the product of inner, emotional resistance than external resistance. To move forward you must give up your story, whether it is excuses about your childhood, lack of education, your “bad luck”, your unsupportive family, your low metabolism, etc”
-Dan Kennedy

When I meet people at a party and they find out that I coach weight loss and fitness for a living, they’re always curious as to who I work with and I tell them…

“I work with procrastinators. I work with people who chronically put things off until the problem is so big they need help fixing it.”

And WE”RE ALL GUILTY OF IT.

I spent an entire YEAR just focusing on beating procrastination. It was my only goal and I still struggle with it.

You see something on your schedule like “go to the gym tonight” and you procrastinate and you keep putting it off, secretly hoping it will just go away.

Like magical thinking “If I ignore this extra 20 or 30 pounds I have long enough, maybe it will just go away”

But it doesn’t that extra 10 becomes 20 then an extra 30. And soon you’re in trouble because no it’s dragging you down. And this overweight person you see in the mirror is absolutely not the person you see yourself as.

And now you have a REAL problem.

Here’s a way to beat your internal resistance and procrastination from a Navy SEAL.

I read about a guy named Bobby Gassoff. Bobby grew up the son of an NHL defenseman. and went on to captain the University of Michigans hockey team.

After college Bobby was playing some minor league hockey when her felt the calling to serve his country. He quit hockey and joined The Navy SEALS.

Bobby and everyone else in BUDS training was an athletic freak when they got there. But during “hell week” the prospective SEALS run the equivalent of 3 Full marathon while carrying hundred of pounds of gear on less than 30min sleep a night(if any) for a full week.

The program is designed to seperate the the toughest from the rest.

On the second day of hell week, the skin around Bobby’s armpits and groin had been worn away by the wet sand. One of hs teammates-the winner of the Navy pentathlon and the best runner and swimmer in the group-had just rung the bell and quit.

Bobby decided he would just focus on the next single step he had to take. The thought of what he was going to have to go through for the rest of training was just too overwhelming, so he put it out of his head.

He put one foot in front of the other, then thought about the next step after that.

In a few minutes thsat trainees got to eat lunch, the instructors would call out all of the brutal activities scheduled for the rest of the day- a tactic designed to see who would be distracted and disheartened.

Now is losing 10-20 even 50 pounds the equivelant of Navy SEAL training? No not really.

But.

When you lose focus and start to get overwhelmed by the sheer volume of the work ahead of you, you’re increasing the chances you’re going to quit.

Or even worse never get started in the first place.

Instead of thinking too broad with your focus, like “how the hell am I going to be able to get this 30 pounds off by springtime!” .

Instead think about…

A first step.

Get that done and go through the process again.

What’s your next step?

Like.. Next I’ll eat a sensible lunch.

When that’s done.

I’ll have a protein drink at 2pm.

When that’d done.

I’ll leave work and drive straight to the gym at 6pm, if I go home I’ll never leave.

And so on and so on.

It’s like I tell new Fitness Boot Campers, not to worry about the workouts the first month.

Just focus on getting in their car and pointing it at in the direction of the gym and get here and walk in.

THAT’S IT!

Not how will I feel, how much weight will I be able to lift, will we have to run, will I make it?

The workouts aren’t what you’re practicing.

The point the car at the gym and walk in is the habit you have to FOCUS on because that’s the….

“first step”

What’s your first step?

What do you need to do this day this minute to overcome your own internal resistance and make this day your best.

I know you can do it.

Take that first step today.

I believe in you.

Choosing the Right Fort Worth Fitness Program to Meet Your Goals

Before embarking on a Fort Worth fitness program, it’s important to sit down and outline your goals. What do you want to accomplish with your fitness program? Are your goals to lose weight, or increase your strength, or simply to benefit from a healthier lifestyle? Knowing what you want to achieve before you start will start you on the path of choosing the right fitness routine to help you reach your goal. In this article, we’ll take a look a few different exercise routines, their pros and cons, and how a Fort Worth fitness trainer can help direct you on the path to reach your goal.

Walking Routines

Walking is a great, balanced exercise for people of all ages, but those that truly wish to benefit from this routine will have to do more than take a leisurely stroll around the neighborhood. Walking at a faster pace than normal will help burn calories and keep the muscles working. Picking up the pace can be as simple as lengthening the strides and keeping the arms moving – not necessarily swinging but by bending the arms at the elbow.

For older folks, walking is a great way to help keep the body in shape, but younger people may not gain as many benefits and might want to augment their Fort Worth fitness program with another exercise. Walking may also be difficult for those that suffer from joint or muscle problems.

Swimming Routines

Those with joint or muscle problems may benefit from a swimming routine, which works the entire body without putting undue stress on joints and muscles. Swimming is great for those that want to work at their own pace, and beginners can slowly build up their endurance and eventually be able to swim continuously for as much as thirty minutes at a time.

However, if the goal is weight loss, swimming may not be as affective as choosing a workout routine outside the water. One of the benefits of working out outside of water is that the body temperature rises and the metabolism is increased for upwards of eighteen hours after exercise, but exercising in water results in the water conducting the heat away from the body, which means that the body temperature will not be raised and neither will the metabolism.
Resistance Routines

If your goals include increasing strength and muscle mass, doing a resistance routine may be the best choice. Not necessarily the best choice for losing weight or improving cardiovascular fitness, resistance training can at least help maintain body weight, as the muscles will use more calories than the fat. Resistance training can also be increased in difficulty with added repetitions or less time between exercises.

Trying to decide the best path to take isn’t always as simple as choosing a favorite sport or routine. Consulting a Fort Worth fitness trainer, who can assess your present fitness, strengths and weaknesses, can be a valuable asset to any one seeking to improve their health. Not only can a Fort Worth fitness trainer set you on the best path to reach your goals, but he will be with you every step of the way, to make sure you work in the safest way possible and to encourage you.
