The Power Of Consistency
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!I’ll be the first person to admit that when I was competing my off season consistency was a bit of a battle. I would finish doing a show in June and wouldn’t compete again until the following April. Here’s my dirty little secret. I didn’t stay consistent. It took me about 2 seasons of this consistent non-consistent behavior for me to realize that if I was consistent with my off-season nutrition and workouts getting it together for a show wouldn’t be as hard.

Read MoreAre You Ready To Let Go Of The Past?

Take time to reflect and then say those are old beliefs and I let them go. Set a deadline – nothing springs you into action like a deadline. I recommend picking 3 dates (short roughly 6 weeks, medium roughly 12 weeks and long roughly 24 weeks). This way you’ll have something to celebrate yet keep you motivated.
