Getting lean and staying that way isn't rocket science, folks. You just have to prioritize consistency. Consistency is key. Today I completed one of the three workouts I do each and every week of my life.
I also managed to complete my step count for the day.
Friend, you must learn how to become consistent with your efforts if they are going to pay off. But you say, "I don't have what it takes to be consistent." I disagree. For example, think about all those bad habits you have right now that you are very good at being consistent at. You just need to find things that are healthier in your life and replace them with good habits. As you watch your physique transform itself before your very eyes, you will know that your consistent efforts combined with a sensible training and nutrition plan will be the key to your success.
I train because I love to push my own limits, both inside and outside of the gym. Despite not being able to lift heavy, I have a relatively lean physique. I can go outside and run a marathon. I have a functionally fit body at 73 years of age. This isn't me trying to get you to buy a fitness program from me (I don't sell one) or purchase supplements through the sponsor of my blog (I don't have one) or buy my latest book on weight training (I don't have one). This is just me trying to stress the fact that, you know what, the basics work -- basics like consistency. They've always worked and they will continue to work. If you're really limited on time, just do a really hard workout once or twice a week, but do it consistently. Always follow through, no matter how small the task. Remember that it's the little consistent wins that set you up to have the strength and fortitude to see things through when the going gets tough in life.
The moral of what I'm trying to say here is what's helped me my entire life, and that is to stick to my guns no matter what. When things get hard, I still continue to push forward. I hope you all can do the same.
