Speaker 1: top three things that fit people do differently compared to
00:00:04
Speaker 1: a wanna be fit person. That's the topic of this

00:00:54
Speaker 2: Thank you again for tuning in. Now let's move on
00:00:57
Speaker 2: to today's topic.
00:00:58
Speaker 1: There are certain people who are always fit. They make
00:01:01
Speaker 1: it seem effortless to be always in shape. Look their
00:01:05
Speaker 1: best and be physically capable. And then there are people
00:01:09
Speaker 1: who struggle to be fit. They feel it's close to
00:01:12
Speaker 1: impossible to get in shape and fail to do physically
00:01:16
Speaker 1: challenging activities. Why is this difference between the two groups
00:01:20
Speaker 1: of people?
00:01:21
Speaker 1: There could be many reasons, but here are the three differences,
00:01:25
Speaker 1: which I feel come at the top
00:01:28
Speaker 1: difference. Number one being a fit person versus desire to
00:01:32
Speaker 1: have a fit body fit. People are busy being fit people.
00:01:37
Speaker 1: What I mean by that is they exercise regularly, follow
00:01:41
Speaker 1: a sensible, sustainable, nutritious eating habit, follow discipline and have
00:01:47
Speaker 1: an almost fixed routine. And they have been like that
00:01:51
Speaker 1: for months and years at the end. Very simply, that
00:01:55
Speaker 1: is what it takes to become fit,
00:01:58
Speaker 1: whereas a wanna be fit person is busy wishing for
00:02:02
Speaker 1: a fit body. Finding all the excuses why he fails
00:02:06
Speaker 1: to stick to an exercise routine, complaining how he has
00:02:10
Speaker 1: no time for it, complaining how bad his genetics is
00:02:14
Speaker 1: or how his body type is naturally fat or skinny.
00:02:18
Speaker 1: He just wishes he had no stress, no responsibility and
00:02:23
Speaker 1: commitments how he cannot live without eating sweets and snacks.
00:02:27
Speaker 1: How much he hate eating vegetables or being hungry, I
00:02:32
Speaker 1: get it. All these excuses are real problems. I agree
00:02:36
Speaker 1: that they are not made up, and they do affect
00:02:39
Speaker 1: you and everybody alike. These problems turn into excuses when
00:02:44
Speaker 1: you say you have a problem and how it is
00:02:47
Speaker 1: stopping you from being fit
00:02:49
Speaker 1: and don't take any action to solve the problem. Even fit.
00:02:53
Speaker 1: People have these problems in spite of being in a
00:02:55
Speaker 1: fitness lifestyle for months and years. Some or the other
00:02:58
Speaker 1: problem keeps propping up. The only difference is
00:03:02
Speaker 1: they don't complain about it and stay without taking action.
00:03:06
Speaker 1: They focus their effort to find a solution or a
00:03:09
Speaker 1: workaround and somehow make it work. At times, there could
00:03:13
Speaker 1: be a phase of life when you may not be
00:03:16
Speaker 1: able to stick to your fitness routine, but that is fine.
00:03:20
Speaker 1: They don't give up
00:03:21
Speaker 2: altogether. They wait patiently for the phase to
00:03:24
Speaker 1: pass, and once it has passed, they get back to
00:03:27
Speaker 1: their routine right after
00:03:30
Speaker 1: difference Number two. Building a system versus searching for a
00:03:35
Speaker 1: magic trick. Fitness is very simple. You need a clear goal,
00:03:39
Speaker 1: an exercise programme that can take you to the goal
00:03:43
Speaker 1: and that you can follow and enjoy and a nutrition
00:03:46
Speaker 1: plan that takes care of your fitness needs that you
00:03:49
Speaker 1: can follow conveniently for several months at the end. You
00:03:52
Speaker 1: need to find what works for you and what you
00:03:55
Speaker 1: like and can sustain for long term. In this, everything
00:03:59
Speaker 1: is a system,
00:04:00
Speaker 1: the kind of exercise you choose. Do you like to
00:04:02
Speaker 1: lift weights in a gym, or do you like to
00:04:05
Speaker 1: do bodyweight workout at home or a combination? How many
00:04:09
Speaker 1: workouts do you choose to do in a week? Do
00:04:11
Speaker 1: you like running or cycling or simple, brisk walking? Same
00:04:16
Speaker 1: way your food choice eating routine and meal timing is
00:04:20
Speaker 1: also a system.
00:04:21
Speaker 1: You have to be ready to experiment and adjust
00:04:24
Speaker 2: to arrive at what works for you. And it's ever
00:04:27
Speaker 1: evolving owing to life events and changing circumstances
00:04:32
Speaker 1: fit. People understand this and follow this all the time,
00:04:36
Speaker 1: whereas a wanna be fit person is always looking for
00:04:40
Speaker 1: a
00:04:40
Speaker 2: magical dieting style, a supplement or a
00:04:42
Speaker 1: pill, a detox method or a five minutes belly fat
00:04:46
Speaker 1: busting workout. I don't blame you for this or think
00:04:50
Speaker 1: you're a waste fellow for doing that. It's just in
00:04:52
Speaker 1: human nature to seek quick and easy way for everything.
00:04:56
Speaker 1: It has been the foundation of all the modern inventions
00:05:00
Speaker 1: and technological advancements.
00:05:03
Speaker 1: But unfortunately, in case of health and fitness, there are
00:05:07
Speaker 1: no quick fixes.
00:05:09
Speaker 1: And if you come across something that is too good
00:05:11
Speaker 1: to be true and promises quick and easy results, then
00:05:15
Speaker 1: I have only one
00:05:16
Speaker 2: advice.
00:05:17
Speaker 1: Run away as fast you can.
00:05:19
Speaker 1: Difference number three Tracking versus hoping for results.
00:05:24
Speaker 1: If I have to, say the single most important ingredient
00:05:28
Speaker 1: for your long term success in fitness, it has to
00:05:31
Speaker 1: be control.
00:05:33
Speaker 1: You need to control what you eat, how much you eat, control,
00:05:37
Speaker 1: what exercises you do and how much you do and
00:05:40
Speaker 1: how you progress in your fitness levels and you control
00:05:45
Speaker 1: your results. For that, you need some form of a
00:05:48
Speaker 1: tracking system. You need a fixed training plan and track
00:05:53
Speaker 1: your workers to know if your performance in the gym
00:05:56
Speaker 1: is going up. You also need to track your food
00:05:59
Speaker 1: in some way,
00:05:59
Speaker 1: measure everything and weigh everything you eat and log in
00:06:03
Speaker 1: a food tracking app, or at least maintain a fixed
00:06:07
Speaker 1: routine and fixed portion sizes. It's OK if you eat more,
00:06:12
Speaker 1: it's OK if you eat less, but it's not OK
00:06:16
Speaker 1: if you don't know how much you're eating, because if
00:06:20
Speaker 1: you don't know how much you're eating, you cannot make
00:06:23
Speaker 1: any adjustments and alterations when needed.
00:06:26
Speaker 1: You also need to track your body weight, your body
00:06:28
Speaker 1: fat levels, your body measurements. Only then you know if
00:06:33
Speaker 1: your training and nutrition plan is getting you the results
00:06:36
Speaker 1: you desire or no, if you're getting your results, then
00:06:39
Speaker 1: keep going. If not, then make changes. That's the whole game.
00:06:43
Speaker 1: In the long term fit. People do this in some
00:06:46
Speaker 1: or the other form or to some extent,
00:06:50
Speaker 1: a wanna be fit. Person follows some vague
00:06:52
Speaker 2: exercise routine or fancy sounding diet or detox
00:06:56
Speaker 1: method and just rely on subjective ways to see progress
00:07:00
Speaker 1: or maybe get on a weighing scale once in a while.
00:07:04
Speaker 1: If it works, it works. If it doesn't then cry
00:07:07
Speaker 1: about how it doesn't work for me and keep jumping
00:07:10
Speaker 1: from programme to
00:07:10
Speaker 2: programme and diet to detox
00:07:13
Speaker 1: and hope it works this time.
00:07:16
Speaker 1: So these were the three main differences between a fit
00:07:19
Speaker 1: person and a wannabe fit person. If you want to
00:07:22
Speaker 1: be a fit person. Do these three things. Stop complaining
00:07:25
Speaker 1: and start doing whatever is necessary, and whatever you can
00:07:29
Speaker 1: do immediately fix your system. Adopt an exercise and diet routine,
00:07:34
Speaker 1: stick to it and be ready to experiment and adopt
00:07:38
Speaker 1: what sticks.
00:07:40
Speaker 1: Keep track of your training, progress, nutrition and results and
00:07:44
Speaker 1: make adjustments along the way.
