Why most people will never see their abs....

It's simple really....getting body fat levels low enough to see them is PAINFUL. Building muscle and losing body fat means making sacrifices most people wouldn't dream of making. Real change means taking yourself out of your comfort zone and experiencing temporary discomfort in what I call an "adjustment period." The adjustment period is a short amount of time where your body strives to adjust to lower calories and more physical activity.

The only way to 6 pack abs is discipline and sacrifice!

Most people can't get through this period of discomfort which is why they end up quitting and begin making excuses. I refuse to lie about exercise and the pain that accompanies lifestyle changes. Change is hard. It feels weird and alien to human beings because we do everything within our power to maintain balance and serenity, as does our bodies.

The best part about making sacrifices is that each time you are faced with the decision of discipline and you choose to stay true to yourself by not skipping a workout, cutting back on alcohol consumption or choosing to make a healthy dinner at home rather than eating out- you are that much closer to seeing your abs.

Choosing to lose weight is a huge commitment to yourself and maybe your significant other or kids, but first and foremost you are the one in control of your actions- therefore the decision should be followed until finished. Don't make excuses. If something sounds too good to be true, it is- don't buy into it.

Infomercial gimmicks will only drain your bank account and stifle your fitness efforts, you don't need them. Surround yourself with positive people who support you, read to keep yourself educated and find yourself a personal trainer who challenges and encourages you. Set your standards high and take care of your mind and body, afterall you only get one and life is short.
