Where the fitness industry has failed you
Everyone wants to lose all their weight overnight.
Â
I hate to break it to you, but if you are expecting to drop 10, 15 or 20 lbs. like that, you have missed the whole point of the process.
Â
Expecting results immediately is not realistic and when you realize you are not where you want to be after the first week; it leaves you disappointed, frustrated, and makes you think you are a failure and losing weight and getting healthier is not even worth trying anymore.
Â
That is not what I want for you.
Â
When this happens, it does not mean you are a failure, it does not mean your body is broken, or that you will never reach a healthier version of yourself.
Â
All this does is show you that you need a new way of thinking that works with you and not against you.
Â
You need a way of thinking that helps you reach your goals.
You need to let go of the approach to weight loss that makes you feel burnt out, and that is leaving you feeling like giving up on becoming a healthier you is the only option.
What Stiroh Fitness and Nutrition does different
That is why at Stiroh Fitness and Nutrition, we preach a different philosophy.
One that increases your chances of reaching your goals in a way that makes the entire process more sustainable, more achievable, and one that sets you up for success rather than giving you unrealistic expectations.
Â
The way of thinking that has helped clients of Stiroh Fitness and Nutrition get life changing results is called Kaizen.
The power of the Kaizen way
The Kaizen philosophy comes from Japan, and it centers around one main thing: continuous improvement for the better.
Â
This mindset is built around making small improvements daily and consistently, so that you can succeed over time.
These small improvements can show up in a variety of ways.
It can show up as drinking more water each day.
It can be cutting back on snacking during the day.
It can be choosing to watch your favorite show while on the treadmill instead of watching it on the couch.
These small wins are the driving force of achieving any weight loss or health goal.
Yet, people still over look the importance of these small victories and the consistent daily improvement.
Do not blame yourself
This is not anyone's fault.
The fitness culture as whole does a poor job of telling the truth about weight loss and what it takes.
Â
When clients first come to me, they are only concerned about the outcome.
All they see are headlines that read "drop 12 pounds in 4 weeks!"
They think those results are the norm, and that anything short of that outcome is a failure.
Â
They don't pay much attention to the process or the small daily changes that are needed in order to reach their ultimate goal.
I see so many people fall victim to the up and down roller coaster that is trying to lose weight and get healthier.
Â
This approach causes so many people to give up entirely because one small thing did not go the way they wanted it to.
Â
However, they fail to realize that one small set back is not going to derail their progress.
How Kiazen can help youÂ
This is why the Kaizen way is so powerful, and is the answer to these struggles.
Â
It shifts your thinking so that you start focusing on daily improvements, you start to focus on the process instead of the outcomes, and you start prioritizing consistent daily improvement over inconsistent perfection.
Â
By adopting this Kaizen philosophy you can change your approach to how you reach your goals, how you handle set backs and struggles, and learn how to set your self up for success rather than failures.
