Long Island Personal Trainer Battles Excuse Making
Long Island Personal Trainer, Rasheen Slaughter from Breakthroughs To Fitness, states “it’s time to stop blaming everything else but yourself for not reaching your goals whether it be fat loss, strength gain, etc. If you’ve been following the Biggest Loser, you will notice one contestant claimed she was doing everything possible to lose weight, but couldn’t”
“The time when she lost 11 pounds before the next weigh in was because her butt was on the line for future challenges. She was accused of game play to work to her advantage.”
So as you can see most people will use excuses to their advantages like Melissa did in the Biggest Loser. Excuses make us feel good because it takes responsibility away from us and puts it on something else.
Breakthroughs To Fitness has seen and heard every excuse about why people can’t be better then where they are. We understand that sometimes medically there are issues that need to be addressed first. If that’s the case then get them addressed!
It’s human nature to make excuses. We all do. That’s where our coaching comes into play so that our clients and subscribers can start seeing point blank they truly are making excuses.
This is what we call the “breakthrough” moment. The moment our clients realize their excuse making is the moment people start making big changes. Moments like these create results like dropping 19 pounds and 6.3% body fat in 12 weeks, dropping 15 pounds in 12 weeks while going through the challenges of Fibromyalgia, eliminating back pain in less then 10 hours of training and flexibility work, and getting the confidence to get on stage for a female body building competition.
Those are results you can achieve when you start recognizing your excuses and start taking action.
Here’s something you can do to overcome these excuses. Write every excuse down why you can’t reach your fitness goals, why you can’t workout, why you can’t eat well, or simply why you can’t get started. Take 20 minutes of your day today. Then when they are all down, write down solutions to each excuse. Even if they do not seem realistic for you.
For example: I can’t workout because I wake up at 5am, go to work, and do not get home til 6:30pm.
Solution: Pack a healthy snack to eat when I leave work and head right to the gym. This will prevent me from getting comfortable. Also, I will cut out 1 hour of T.V. time at night so I can focus on my health.
That’s how simple it is. You may have several solutions to each excuse and pick the one that works best for you.
