00:00:02

00:00:05
Speaker 1: In this episode, I will share a simple system that
00:00:08
Speaker 1: will help you stop losing and start winning in your
00:00:10
Speaker 1: fitness journey. Namaskar and welcome to the Stronger Men project.
00:00:14
Speaker 1: Thank you for tuning in. Today you have come to
00:00:16
Speaker 1: the right place. If you are a man who desire
00:00:18
Speaker 1: to be a stronger fitter and a better looking version
00:00:21
Speaker 1: of yourself and want to be a better man and
00:00:23
Speaker 1: fulfil your fullest potential in all areas of life.
00:00:27
Speaker 1: I'm one such man and the host of this podcast,
00:00:30
Speaker 1: I'm a Desai, a mechanical engineer turned fitness coach and
00:00:34
Speaker 1: a gym owner based in a city called Harvard. In
00:00:37
Speaker 1: the last five years, as a fitness coach, I have
00:00:40
Speaker 1: helped over 800 people through my fitness, coaching and training.
00:00:43
Speaker 1: Now let's get to today's topic.
00:00:48
Speaker 1: First of all, let me tell you that fitness is tough.
00:00:52
Speaker 1: Exercise and control diet are against normal human behaviour.
00:00:56
Speaker 1: It is uncomfortable, and it takes a lot of effort
00:01:00
Speaker 1: and time. But normal human behaviour is to avoid discomfort
00:01:04
Speaker 1: and to avoid effort And if you're someone who is
00:01:08
Speaker 1: struggling to adopt a fitness lifestyle and stay consistent with
00:01:12
Speaker 1: your diet and exercise, what that means is you're just
00:01:15
Speaker 1: a normal human being. And now if you are someone
00:01:19
Speaker 1: who doesn't want to be a normal human being but
00:01:22
Speaker 1: want to be a fit human being,
00:01:24
Speaker 1: then I'll share a system with which you can actually
00:01:27
Speaker 1: be successful in your fitness journey.
00:01:30
Speaker 1: So the first thing
00:01:32
Speaker 1: lot of people want to be fit, but there are
00:01:35
Speaker 1: hardly any people who want to be a fit person.
00:01:38
Speaker 1: What I mean by this is people want to lose weight.
00:01:41
Speaker 1: People want to lose belly fat and build a strong
00:01:43
Speaker 1: looking physique, which is the end goal of fitness. But
00:01:47
Speaker 1: most people do not want to adopt the habits and
00:01:50
Speaker 1: the lifestyle of a fit person. That means exercising regularly,
00:01:54
Speaker 1: taking care of your diet and maintaining a healthy routine
00:01:58
Speaker 1: and being disciplined.
00:02:00
Speaker 1: This is the difference between a person who desires to
00:02:02
Speaker 1: be fit and person who really becomes fit. A fit
00:02:05
Speaker 1: person is someone who adopts these habits and lifestyle and
00:02:08
Speaker 1: stay consistent with them so that he achieves the results
00:02:11
Speaker 1: he is expecting so the first thing I would like
00:02:13
Speaker 1: to tell you is you become a fit person instead
00:02:17
Speaker 1: of focusing on the end. Results and end results only
00:02:21
Speaker 1: focus on the systems and the habits a person has
00:02:25
Speaker 1: to follow to achieve those goals. That is what a
00:02:28
Speaker 1: fit person is,
00:02:30
Speaker 1: and a lot of times it happens that people don't
00:02:33
Speaker 1: have enough motivation to start on their fitness journey. For that,
00:02:36
Speaker 1: what you have to do is you have to set
00:02:38
Speaker 1: a very, very highly ambitious and emotionally important goal for you.
00:02:43
Speaker 1: What I mean by that is the goal should be
00:02:45
Speaker 1: such that it should be very, very desirable for you.
00:02:48
Speaker 1: And it has to have a strong why behind it,
00:02:51
Speaker 1: the reason behind it, and you should have a purpose
00:02:53
Speaker 1: behind it. And it has to be important to you
00:02:56
Speaker 1: something which will excite you something which will
00:03:00
Speaker 1: energise you to take action. Start that fitness journey, or
00:03:03
Speaker 1: go and get the gym membership. Or start researching on
00:03:06
Speaker 1: what kind of diet you have to follow, or go
00:03:09
Speaker 1: pay someone who is a fitness coach and help you
00:03:11
Speaker 1: to start in your fitness journey.
00:03:14
Speaker 1: Once you have set a very, very strong, ambitious goal
00:03:17
Speaker 1: That is not the end of it. It will only
00:03:19
Speaker 1: motivate you. But motivation is only short lived, and you
00:03:22
Speaker 1: have to replace it immediately with two types of goals.
00:03:25
Speaker 1: One is systems goal, and the other one is progress goals.
00:03:29
Speaker 1: What I mean by system's goal is
00:03:32
Speaker 1: it is a system you follow to achieve your goal.
00:03:34
Speaker 1: It may be the exercise you do. It may be
00:03:37
Speaker 1: the diet you follow. It may be how many times
00:03:40
Speaker 1: you work out in a week. It may be the
00:03:42
Speaker 1: things you want to stop doing in the day to
00:03:44
Speaker 1: day life. That is a system you've chosen. For example,
00:03:46
Speaker 1: the system I have chosen is strength training. I go
00:03:49
Speaker 1: lift weights in a gym, and I like lifting heavy weights.
00:03:53
Speaker 1: And I follow a structure diet, which is high protein
00:03:57
Speaker 1: diet and which is a potion controlled diet.
00:04:01
Speaker 1: And what I mean by progress goals is you have
00:04:04
Speaker 1: to track your progress. Let's say you want to lose weight,
00:04:07
Speaker 1: then you have to track your weight, and periodically you
00:04:11
Speaker 1: should see some progress. That means you should be losing
00:04:15
Speaker 1: weight gradually, or let's say you want to lose belly fat,
00:04:18
Speaker 1: then you have to measure your belly circumference, and every
00:04:21
Speaker 1: 2 to 4 weeks you should see progress in your measurements.
00:04:25
Speaker 1: That means you should keep losing inches in your belly area.
00:04:28
Speaker 1: And once you have set your systems and your progress goals,
00:04:33
Speaker 1: you have to
00:04:34
Speaker 1: focus on these things. Instead of focusing on the end result,
00:04:37
Speaker 1: you have to focus on being that person who follows
00:04:39
Speaker 1: the system and who tracks his progress. What this does
00:04:43
Speaker 1: is it will give you a road map to achieve
00:04:45
Speaker 1: your goal. That is your systems and by the way
00:04:48
Speaker 1: of tracking your progress. You know, if you're making progress
00:04:51
Speaker 1: or not, that if you're making progress, that will actually
00:04:54
Speaker 1: motivate you to continue the system. If you're not making progress,
00:04:57
Speaker 1: that means you have to make changes to your system.
00:05:00
Speaker 1: That is where it is self correcting.
00:05:03
Speaker 1: And once you start following your systems, you have to
00:05:05
Speaker 1: make sure that every small step you take every small
00:05:08
Speaker 1: changes you make in your routine. You have to treat
00:05:11
Speaker 1: it as a win. Let's say you started exercising, and
00:05:15
Speaker 1: once you finish your exercise, you have to acknowledge it
00:05:18
Speaker 1: and you have to celebrate it as a win. Let's
00:05:21
Speaker 1: say you made changes to your eating habits, and after
00:05:24
Speaker 1: you've finished a meal, you have to acknowledge it as
00:05:27
Speaker 1: a win
00:05:28
Speaker 1: and celebrate it as a win. By that way, it
00:05:31
Speaker 1: will motivate you, and it will encourage you to keep
00:05:34
Speaker 1: doing that again and again and again. That is how
00:05:36
Speaker 1: you build momentum and stay consistent with whatever system you're following.
00:05:42
Speaker 1: The next thing you have to keep in mind is,
00:05:44
Speaker 1: don't be in a hurry. Don't compare yourself to other people.
00:05:48
Speaker 1: You don't know what situation they are in. You have
00:05:50
Speaker 1: a completely unique situation of your own. You do everything
00:05:54
Speaker 1: possible in your ability and be patient with the results.
00:05:58
Speaker 1: If you're getting results, that is well and fine. If
00:06:00
Speaker 1: you're not getting results, then do your research and make
00:06:04
Speaker 1: changes to your system, or consult a coach or an
00:06:06
Speaker 1: expert who can help you and guide you through the journey.
00:06:09
Speaker 1: And during your journey, it might happen that you might
00:06:11
Speaker 1: miss some days. You might miss a workout today or
00:06:15
Speaker 1: you might fail to follow your meal. As per the plan,
00:06:17
Speaker 1: it is fine to miss because Rome is not built
00:06:20
Speaker 1: in a single day,
00:06:22
Speaker 1: and so is your fitness. It takes time, and it
00:06:25
Speaker 1: doesn't matter if you miss one day. A lot of people,
00:06:27
Speaker 1: when they miss, they start feeling it's not for them.
00:06:31
Speaker 1: They start having negative self talks. They start feeling it
00:06:33
Speaker 1: is not for them and they eventually quit. Don't be
00:06:36
Speaker 1: that person. And remember, the only way you can fail
00:06:39
Speaker 1: is by quitting.
00:06:41
Speaker 1: It might also happen that some life event may come
00:06:43
Speaker 1: in your way. It may be a festival or an
00:06:46
Speaker 1: event at home. It may be travel. It may be
00:06:50
Speaker 1: busy in your work or it may be any personal
00:06:53
Speaker 1: life events, but you have to keep in mind that
00:06:55
Speaker 1: it is only short lived and temporary. It is a
00:06:57
Speaker 1: season
00:06:58
Speaker 1: it will pass. Once that event has passed, you can
00:07:01
Speaker 1: go back to your baseline routine. That is the systems
00:07:04
Speaker 1: you have set up that is regular exercise and the
00:07:07
Speaker 1: diet plan, which you have been following it is that simple?
00:07:10
Speaker 1: A lot of people go off track when some life
00:07:13
Speaker 1: events happen and discontinue their fitness journey. It's OK to
00:07:16
Speaker 1: take breaks in between it's OK if we cannot follow
00:07:18
Speaker 1: the system for a few days or, let's say a
00:07:21
Speaker 1: few weeks. Also, it is fine. Once it is done
00:07:23
Speaker 1: and over, get back to your normal routine or what
00:07:26
Speaker 1: I call a baseline routine.
00:07:29
Speaker 1: That's it for today's episode. And if you follow these
00:07:31
Speaker 1: few things which I have explained in this episode, you
00:07:34
Speaker 1: will definitely succeed in your fitness journey and be able
00:07:37
Speaker 1: to set up a sustainable fitness lifestyle.
00:07:41
Speaker 1: This is the exact system I have followed, and this
00:07:44
Speaker 1: is the exact system I teach my own students and
00:07:47
Speaker 1: this system has been very, very successful.
00:07:49
Speaker 1: And if you want to take this further and learn
00:07:52
Speaker 1: this system in depth, I'm conducting a workshop called Ticket
00:07:55
Speaker 1: to Transformation, where I'll take you through the process of
