This “secret formula” can not only be applied to fitness, and bodybuilding, but also to any major life goal.

What exactly is this incredible formula?

It is called the RAMM formula.

The R stands for knowing, and visualizing your end result.

Many people hit plateaus in their strength training workout programs. The reps stay the same,  the weight they push stays the same, the scale doesn’t move, or their bodyfat percentage is stagnant.

Here are 7 proven strength training tips to jumpstart your fitness exercise program, and shatter your workout goals.

1.  Start tracking your fitness workouts.   Be aware of your numbers (weight, reps, and what you need to beat from the last workout).

After personally training thousands of individuals I have witnessed one huge mistake most people are making when it comes to their fitness workouts. They set their workout goals too high!

It is not that fitness enthusiasts shouldn’t reach for the stars when setting goals; but they are simply going about it the wrong way.

Generally, when someone sets a fitness goal they initially think about the long term results such as losing 30 pounds, or gaining 100 pounds on their bench press. This is great as long as these lofty goals are broken down into smaller, more obtainable fitness goals. …Continue Reading Fitness Workout Goals Should Be Broken Down

The big question of the day is fit, and fat, or sedentary, and skinny? This exact question was answered today in the Journal of the American Medical Association.  This was the first report to carefully investigate the relationship between body fat, fitness, and death.

There was a 12 year study conducted that showed people 60 years of age, and over, who exercised their cardiovascular system, had lower death rates than those who hardly exercised with the same exact body fat percentage.

In business, and life, I like to live by the slogan “that which is not measured, can’t improve.” According to a large study of physical fitness results, and pedomoter use, wearing a pedomoter has shown to increase your steps by 2000 each day. What that means is people wearing pedometers walk, on average, of 1 extra mile, each day, which translates into burning 100 more calories each and every day.

A pedometer forces the exercise participant to pay close attention to a particular goal, such as walking 10,000 steps everyday. As a result of the analysis of many studies pedometers are shown to really work! They can be looked at as little motivational tools.

Your goal, each day, should be to strive for 10,000 steps. The average person not wearing a pedometer walks only 5300 steps each day. Therefore, by becoming aware of the steps you are walking each day, and the number you should be walking each day, fitness participants have a tendency to try and meet their goal of 10,000. By walking more people will reap the many health benefits of additional physical activity. …Continue Reading Use Of Pedometers Delivers Fitness Results

Who says abdominal crunches melt away inches from your waistline? Too many people! Whether informercials, or so-called professional fitness trainers calling themselves experts, all too often try to promote their exercise equipment, nutrition potions, and fitness programs for profit using the “do this and fat will melt away instantly from your belly” strategy. 

 In my opinion this is unethical marketing. You do not use a marketing strategy with principles that undermind exercise science. That is wrong! What ends up happening is the consumer hears it, buys into it, and tells ten other people.  Therefore, this false fitness tips streads like a giant wildfire. …Continue Reading Fitness Tip Fallacy That Crunches Melt Belly Fat

Do you realize your brain is the most important piece of the fitness program or bodybuilding workout results puzzle?

You are probably saying what the heck does my brain have to do with my muscles.

The bottom line is the way you think determines your fitness outcome. But how,  you ask?

Simple…

Your thoughts effect your adherence, and effort you display which will effect your overall results.

Your Thoughts control your emotions which control your specific actions which, in turn, control your results.

Therefore, your fitness results all begin by training your brain. The way your THINK is critical.

Take for instance, you begin an exercise program because you feel you should, but you are not invested. You won’t be able to make the necessary permenant change in behavior.

Let’s take a look at some of the personalities I have seen while personally training people for over 20 years. Do you exhibit any of these thoughts?
1) PESSIMISM – PERFECTIONISM

A person like this searches for reasons not to stick to an exercise program like too much traffic to get to the gym. They are constantly self sabatoging themselves by looking for ridiculous reasons to avoid working out.

The key to overcoming this type of thinking is to understand not everything is ideal, and to come up with a game plan to succeed.

2) SOMEDAY THINKING

People with the SOMEDAY attitude live in the past and not the present. They think that someday they will lose weight so today it is ok to blow it by eating a large pizza.

If you have thoughts or qualities like this I recommend thinking in the present, and writing a list of wants regarding your exercise. What do you really want to get out of your exercise program?

3) DON’T BELIEVE IN THEMSELVES

Some people self sabatoge themselves by not believing in themselves. Negative thought dominates their thinking. They say, I will never lose that weight so why try. They feel the past always equals the future.

The trick for a thinker like this is to train your brain to turn those negative thoughts into positive ones. Such as I WON’T ….I CAN’T …. I MAY…I WILL  

Turn yourself into an I WILL person.
HOW TO GET INTO A FITNESS SUCCESS MINDSET

1) Build a list of WHAT you want to get out of your exercise program, and write down the WHY’s.

2) Live for today: not tomorrow – make most of today. Think in the present.

3) Train yourself to stay positive when you are feeling negative quickly make the effort to turn it around by focusing on you WANTS, and WHY list.

4) Set specific goals with a time condition on them.

5) You you don’t get the result you had hoped for, alter the course, and keep going until you succeed. Stay positive. The Past doesn’t equal the future.

6) Have a written down game plan – use a calendar to schedule your workout

7) Make your goals a priority in your life.

The way you think about exercise will make or break your results. Therefore, think long, and hard about how you approach the mental side of fitness, and bodybuilding. You will then be happy with your results.
