You don’t need more motivation-you need a better system

You don’t need another motivational quote, book or post telling you how “you can do it this time” in order to reach your fitness goals. If all you needed was a motivational quote you would already have your dream body, but you don’t, because motivational quotes won’t get you your dream body.

What do you need instead of more motivational quotes? A system that works with your body and lifestyle. Most diets and exercise programs are one size fits all. They don’t take in to account your hormones, lifestyle, physical condition, mindset…etc. They just tell you- do this workout and eat this many calories. It’s no wonder it doesn’t work. Motivation is emotional, systems are practical. Systems are there to help you succeed whether you feel like it or not. Motivation is fleeting. So, what systems do you need:

a repeatable, progressive overload workout program

nutrition that works WITH your hormones not against them

accountability and support with a coach that can guide you through mindset+hormones (Chatgpt can’t do that yet!)

a way to track progress

Here are some examples of motivation VS systems:

Motivation-I’ll start on Monday or I’ll do whatever workout I find on YouTube

Systems-Meals are written down, groceries are bought, you know what workouts you are doing this week

Why does this matter? Because our bodies (and hormones) thrive on consistency. The only way to get stronger and build muscle is to do the same workout for a certain length of time so you can progressively get stronger. When you hop around random YouTube workouts that’s not being consistent or getting stronger you are just exercising, not training.

Not having a plan adds to the stress and if you are over 40 you don’t need any more stress in your life! We need to de-stress those hormones so we can lose that belly fat. It’s also hard to be consistent if you don’t know what to eat, how much to eat or what workout to do.

You don’t need more hype. You need structure. Structure will give you clarity and results. Your future body is built on boring, repeatable habits.
