Random Exercises Yield Random Results

This morning I was working out with husband. Every morning we have the same squabble about his workout. I tell him what we're going to do and then he does something totally random and different. I used to get frustrated, but after so many years, now I just shrug my shoulders. He says he's giving me free educational training on how to deal with the most difficult, non-compliant clients. I don't think he's really playing that role. I think he enjoys being the rebel. Even with his stubborn ways, his naturally lean physique still turns my head and keeps me focused on him. Argh, love isn't blind when you're looking at him, it just puts up with more than it normally would!

I tell you this because my husband's random workouts give him random results. At the end of the day, he admits that he should listen to me to reach his goals. His workout "ideas" just don't defy science the way he wants. The truth is every time you set to do your random, same old, "I do the same thing every time." workouts, you're attempting to defy the science of fitness. It just doesn't work! Like I tell my clients, there is a method to my madness. If you really want to achieve significant results in the proper time without injury or muscle imbalance, you need to have a planned workout. I mean an educated, strategized, intentional, specific workout. Otherwise, in my opinion, you're just wasting time and energy.

So, stop wasting time and listen to me. Everyone needs guidance when it comes to exercise. We exercise for a reason - with a goal in mind. If you're the kind that needs hand holding, let me hold your hand and I'll walk you thru the best workout you've ever had. If you're the do-it-yourself kind, I'll program an awesome workout online and you can go do it on your own. Either way, I won't waste your time or your results. And these days, time and health are too valuable to trust in the hands of RANDOM.

Have an purposeful day and an intentional workout!

I have to admit, I am a lot like Dan when it comes to working out... I tend to be random and inconsistent and I have yet to reach the goals I have set out for myself. Looking forward to following your plan!
