I grew to hate gyms, so I bought a pull-up station and some dumbbell with adjustable weights, elastic bands and I have it at home. So zero willpower is needed, I just change clothes and workout, and no one stops me from doing some extra active hanging or some l sit during the day if I have extra energy to invest. It's fantastic.

Just getting to the gym (or any exercise) is a victory some days.

1)Lower your expectations. 2)Make minuscule gains repeatedly over time again and again. 3)Once in a while shoot for larger results but don’t be frustrated if it doesn’t happen 4)Some times, just maintaining and doing it is a win.

Yep - successful people at any skill just keep turning up to practice, even when they don’t feel like it.

I think an issue is that people do too much. They've been told that they need to do 3-5 sets. That they need to train 3-5x a week. Drink protein shakes and stock up on creatine. I do only 1 set and train for an hour twice a week and get results. It's basically the Jay Vincent protocol. It's a much smaller time investment, and costs less energy. I don't want to beat up my body. Or fight with myself to force myself to go to the gym because I'm feeling sore and have no energy or will to train. If I had to force myself or put in this huge commitment then I wouldn't last more than three months either. Much of it comes down to standard fitness advice being too much. I also hate stretching and warming up so I don't do it. You don't have to - unless you're feeling particularly stiff that day. Unfit people would get pretty far just doing push-ups alone. One set twice per week. They'll be done in minutes. Let them conquer this exercise first, it might take them a while before their wrists adapt. They could elevate their palms in the beginning, or get on their knees. Then take it from there. Add in another exercise, something you like to do. Diet? Just up protein and cut down carbs for weight loss. No need for cabbage or celery sticks. Fitness is so much easier than it's made out to be. If you begin where you're at and put in consistent effort without imitating or comparing yourself to Arnold Schwarzenegger then the results are gonna come. Most people don't need to do a lot.

I agree. I,do,Drew Baye’s project Kratos (HIT approach for body weight) and have the best results of my life.

@@coachprinci He is fantastic. I'm moving towards more body-weight movements myself. So we're on a very similar program. :-)

Thank you for the reminder! Identifying goals, commitment, and adapting have been required of all my major achievements. I have been battling a debilitating RSI that has negatively impacted my love of playing the bass guitar. After years of OT without getting results, I will be receiving a cubital tunnel release surgery. Post recovery, a wholistic approach to health is required to keep me in the music game. Rolling up sleeves!
