Have you ever...
Considered hiring an online health and fitness coach?
If so, let me share three things you should take into consideration.
-------------------
#1 YOUR GOALS
Most guys jump into a health and fitness program with the intention of losing weight.
So, understandably, this pain point is what most coaches will use in their advertising.
Usually with the promise of getting you "shredded" or "ripped".
These programs are usually around 90-days and often have a money back guaranty.
Sounds pretty awesome, right?
Well, here's how they work...
Their plan is to dramatically cut your calories while also loading you up on protein shakes and creatine.
Turns out you can get much leaner by doing those two things consistently for 3-months.
Different programs will have a specific name for their proprietary process, but at the end of the day, it's simple...
"Get hungry, eat protein."
Who is this for?
The guy who always dreamed of being shredded and knows they can do anything for 90-days.
The problem...
Few guys actually get shredded.
In fact, most guys DON'T get shredded.
Even IF you happened to be one of the lucky few, it's highly unlikely you'd be able to sustain it.
The real problem...
90-days of starvation while supplementing highly refined protein powder is neither healthy, nor sustainable.
Which leads us to the next consideration when choosing a program...
#2 YOUR LIFESTYLE
A serious question to ask yourself, especially if you're over 40...
"How do I want to live?"
Do you want to live your life on a rollercoaster of 90-day sprints to get shredded?
...With massive gaps of "average" in between?
OR
Do you want to live an "Athlete Life?"
If you choose the Athlete life, you've made a powerful decision to live differently than most.
You decide to play the long game by prioritizing your health and the performance of your body for as long as you are alive.
And with this decision, you make the world a better place.
Because a healthier YOU is a better you.
And the best part...
It's a journey with incredible outcomes along the way.
Looking better, feeling better, and performing better than you ever imagined...for a lifetime.
Just imagine being 80-years-old and still being able to go out and have fun!
The Athlete life requires a new mindset, a foundation of good habits, a solid plan, and the ability adjust things along the way.
A program like this is where coaching is the MOST valuable.
And I don't mean a cheerleader.
Anyone can cheer a person through hunger and protein shakes for 90 days.
A great coach will help you to build the essential foundations to get you to a level of health and performance you never imagined.
And it's done through expert collaboration, trust building, and strategizing with only YOUR best interest in mind.
If this sounds good so far, let's move to the next thing...
#3 YOUR PLAN
If you make the decision to play the long-game, it's important to have a great plan.
The best coaches are constantly trying to find the perfect balance between efficiency, effectiveness, and health.
To say this another way...
The BEST coaches will deliver the best results, in the shortest amount of time, in the healthiest possible way.
So, when evaluating a plan, be sure you know what goes into the plan.
Things to consider...
If your plan requires you to eat 1,000 calories per day and to run 10 miles a day, it may be effective and efficient for weight loss, but it's not healthy.
if your plan entails weighing and measuring all your foods with a 4 hour meal prep on Sundays, it may be effective, but NOT efficient.
If your plan entails lifting SUPER heavy weights every day, you may get stronger, but your health could be compromised due to orthopedic issues.
I have found that most people, INCLUDING THE PROFESSIONALS, don't take these 3 things into consideration when working with their clients or athletes.
Which is why the "normal" world of health and fitness is chaotic, messy, and NOT health driven.
Full disclosure...
I was guilty of this early in my career.
I had the mantra of "eat less, move more" as my #1 strategy.
It wasn't until I got into the world of high level athletics that I learned the importance of efficiency, effectiveness, and health.
For example, when working with TEAM USA Athletes, it was abundantly clear that my strategies needed to be efficient, effective, and healthy for my athletes.
Anything less...
I'd be fired.
