We live in a quick fix society where everyone expects things to happen by tomorrow. Transforming your physical fitness takes time and effort, yes you can make good gains in the early stages of a training program but truly impressive gains are made through consistent hard work over a sustained period of time.
PHILOSOPHY 2 = ALMOST EVERYONE CAN BENEFIT FROM STRENGTH TRAINING
Whether your goal is aesthetics based or performance based a good strength training program will help you.
PHILOSOPHY 3 = THERE IS NO PERFECT TRAINING SYSTEM
The holy grail of fitness training does not exist. There are many different training methods and many different training tools. The one that is most effective is the one that you will actually do.
PHILOSOPHY 4 = SEEK BALANCE
Like ying and yang, high intensity strength and conditioning should be balanced out with low intensity restorative exercise. Examples include yoga, qi gong and dynamic stretching.
PHILOSOPHY 5 = NUTRITION TRUMPS TRAINING IN THE GAME OF FAT LOSS
There is no getting around it, if you eat too much of the wrong things you will not burn fat, no matter how great your training.
PHILOSOPHY 6 = INTENSITY IS KEY
For dramatic changes to your physical performance and appearance, intensity is everything. Don't just go through the motions, train hard, train smart and you will be well on the road to huge improvements.
PHILOSOPHY 7 = KEEP IT SIMPLE
Simple is good, the simpler a system the easier it is to follow and the less likely it is to go wrong, this includes fitness training. Define your goal, choose an appropriate exercise program, do the work, hit your goal, repeat the process.
PHILOSOPHY 8 = USE IT OR LOSE IT
Like any biological system your body adapts to the demands placed upon it. This is great when you are training hard, the adaptations are positive. Not so great when you quit training and return to a sedentary life. Your strength and stamina wil vanish shortly after. Staying in great shape is a life long journey!
PHILOSOPHY 9 = YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT
Unless you eat a diet that consists of clean, whole foods (preferably organic) consumed in a ratio that suits your biochemistry you will not achieve true health and vitality no matter how far you can run or how much weight you can lift.
PHILOSOPHY 10 = NOT EVERY EXERCISE IS THE PERFECT FIT
We come in all shapes and sizes, just because an exercise works well for one person does not mean it will work well for everyone. Choose movements that strengthen your body, not weaken it further.
