You Can’t Get Results In 5 Minutes…

You Can’t Get Results In 5 Minutes…

I HATE that people think they have to go to the gym for hours or even do two-a-days to get results.

And before you get mad because you are doing these things, I’m not saying you CAN’T…I just don’t think you need to…and more IMPORTANTLY that isn’t the only way to get results.

Having the attitude that you need to spend a certain amount of time working out or it doesn’t “count” is what holds way too many people back from not only getting started, but staying consistent.

What if I told you that instead you could start getting results and get in a routine by only spending 5 MINUTES A DAY working out?

And no this isn’t some get insanely ripped doing nothing bullshit plan.

(We think we need to be lying on the ground completely exhausted to get results. And if we aren’t completely worn out we feel guilty…)

No. What I’m saying is that all too often we never get started because we feel we have to make this huge time commitment that we just can’t mentally make.

We basically set ourselves up for failure by making changes, and achieving results, harder than it needs to be.

We’ve literally started believing that if it is EASY AND SIMPLE, IT CAN’T WORK.

How ridiculous is that!?!

If it is easy and simple, we think it is too good to be true. When in reality, we keep yo-yo dieting and jumping from program to program because the overcomplicated rules and huge time commitments make it impossible for us to achieve results.

We just keep adding more and making up all of these arbitrary rules thinking that by doing more, by cutting out more, by restricting everything, we will finally get results.

BUT WE DON’T.

I say this all the time but – sometimes LESS IS MORE!

That is why I started creating 5-minute Burner Workouts using my hybrid exercises and activation moves.

Because even though you may think “it’s only 5 minutes,” that 5 minutes is enough to keep you moving forward and keep you strong and lean.

Because that 5 minutes isn’t you walking casually on a treadmill or riding a bike. That 5 minutes is high intensity using not only compound exercises but HYBRID EXERCISES that work multiple large muscles at once from different angles.

By using not only interval training, but my Hybrid Moves, you can get results in just 5 minutes a day.

Yes, ideally would you combine these workouts for at least 15 minutes? YES.

BUT if you want results, it isn’t about the length of your workout, but the QUALITY and the CONSISTENCY.

Yes. Quality and consistency.

If you instead try to workout for hours and get so sore and burnt out and feel like you just don’t have the time…guess what? You aren’t going to workout again for at least a week, if not more.

That doesn’t lead to progress very quickly or help you create habits.

But what if instead you started by committing to just 5 minutes 4-5 times a week? That would create a routine AND get you started moving forward.

Protein Granola – Balancing Eating Well And Cravings!

Protein Granola – Balancing Eating Well And Cravings!

I firmly believe you want to eat as many whole, natural foods as possible. The cleaner your diet, not only the faster your results, but also the healthier you are going to be.

However, the diet that also works best is the one you can STICK to long-term. The one you can be consistent with.

The one that you can enjoy as you are getting results. 

That means finding a balance between being as clean as possible while still getting to indulge and enjoy foods that satisfy those cravings….All while hitting your macro ratios of course 🙂

That is why I think it is important that no food is ever off limits.

BUT that doesn’t always mean you want to completely indulge. Sometimes you want a “healthier” alternative that will keep you on track and not set off other cravings.

That is when recipes like Protein Granola come in handy. This recipe makes it easier to stick to your macros while still satisfying cravings for granola and even sugary cereals.

If you’re craving those sugary parfaits, this Protein Granola with greek yogurt and berries may be the healthier alternative you are looking for!

For me, recipes like this don’t set off cravings for worse foods. There are some foods out there that are “gateway foods”…foods that set off further cravings and cause you to fall off.

Having a healthier alternative that satisfies my cravings BUT doesn’t set off that desire for worse foods, is KEY for me staying on track.

That is why I love finding creative ways to stay on track that freaking TASTE GOOD!

Remember it is about consistency, not perfection. Sometimes adding in things that may be slightly off the “whole, natural foods” list is key to keeping you on track.

Yup…sometimes you have to give yourself some room to ENJOY!

So if you are looking to hit your macros and pack in some extra protein WHILE still indulging in some delicious granola, try this Protein Granola!

The Non “Gnarly” Workout You Need!

The Non “Gnarly” Workout You Need!

You don’t have to push yourself to the point of complete destruction every workout…Sometimes less is more…

That is why today I wanted to share an important workout with you…A workout that will help you get more out of your program and the intense workouts you do on the other days. A workout that will leave you feeling good and full of energy at the end.

This workout won’t destroy you in the least. It will simply get the correct muscles working. And you can’t skip it if you want real results. You can’t skip it just because it doesn’t leave you feeling destroyed.

This is the non gnarly workout you need to really get results from your complete program!

And you shouldn’t do MORE just because it didn’t kill you!

Sometimes these simple moves, the workouts that focus on creating a strong foundation, are what you’re missing…and the reason you aren’t getting the results you deserve even while working out intense and eating well!
