3 Critical Factors You Need For An Effective Training Program
You show up to the gym, but you need an effective training program to get results.
Going to the gym doesn’t equate to results. If everyone who went to the gym got the results they wanted, personal trainers and coaches would just be gym friends you pay to encourage your commitment to exercise. Truth be told, most gym-goers don’t follow an effective training program that yields the results they want.
While you should be proud of getting yourself in the gym, it’s time to take your training seriously. No more messing around. If you want actual results, you need to step outside your comfort-zone and go after them. Here are the 3 critical factors you need for an effective training program.

1. Deadline
Think of all those homework assignments you completed in school, or projects you did for work. You finished them because a deadline existed. No deadline means no urgency to take action.
To build The Body You Want, aim for a target with a deadline. Psychology shows us that a due date increases our chances of success. Without this deadline there is no urgency to make each workout effective and stick to your program. This is why having access to a gym or ‘doing workouts’ will NEVER work. You have no real target in sight.
You need a deadline.
2. Simple To Follow
Countless fitness programs promise incredible results. But in reality, most people can’t stick to them (and personally I wouldn’t want to.) These programs are either impossible to follow or not a program at all.
Many of these ‘experts’ create programs and expect you to fit them into your life. You know…quit your job, find a nanny for the kids, and hire a chef… You can do that, right? Even if the program worked, it’s not feasible.
The other option is to follow a “show up” program. Common examples include aerobic classes or the typical bootcamp where they make you really tired, so you think you’re getting to your goals. These show up programs are only about movement, not movement with a purpose.
You need a specific purposeful program that is simple to follow.
3. Be Challenged
Step outside your comfort-zone if you want to make any significant progress. Pills and shakes don’t work, but most people try them because they want it to be true. Let’s be real. You know these shortcut and quick-fix methods don’t work. Real results take real effort.
Get comfortable being uncomfortable and do the work others aren’t willing to do. You get results by challenging yourself. Doing the same thing over and over will net you the same results. Want a different outcome? Do something different.
You need to be challenged.
