If your goal is fat loss or muscle building there is one real key to success.

Most fitness coaches will tell you that the weight training programme is the most important and others will tell you that the correct diet and supportive eating programme is the most important element.

I have to agree these two elements are essential if you want to make the changes in your life, but they pale into insignificance to my first rule of fitness.

Now this may not apply if you’ve been working out a while and in this case you are far it is very important that you are doing the right things at the right time in the right way and should really be following a programme like Turbulence Training Manual.

So what is the first rule….

…consistency.

Yes simple but very true.

One of my friends recently told me how he has ‘dusted off his rowing machine and is doing it three times per week as well as cycling twice a week and running once.

His question was “That’s good right?”

Well I could have answered him with all my knowledge about the advantage of resistance training and the application of a correct nutritional programme, but I didn’t.

He didn’t need to here that yet, I wanted him to stay focused on being consistent first and then we could introduce changes so that he could make better gains in his fitness goals.

I’m sat in my office at my gym (as I write this) and have just been asked by the Pro snow boarder I look after (Jenny Jones) if she can change her programme because she’s ‘bored’!

She’s only just got back from a long competitive season and the answer was “No”. I have just gone on to explain to her that: “ If you are consistent this week every day then we can look at changing your programme next week, you need to build your foundation first.”

She’s lucky she has us here at the centre to help her and motivate her.

This is then leads on to my second rule….

..but I’ll share that another day.

To give you a clue it’s something to do with social support and the reason why I have joined forces with 9 other fitness leaders from the UK in order to help people like you reach your goals and fitness dreams.
