What You Should Know About Fitness "Shortcuts" and "Hacks".

My advice on fitness “shortcuts”

Make making progress easy to do every single day.  If your mindset is “give me your secrets” or “What's your 3 easy steps to…”, you’ve already failed because you are afraid of work.

What do i mean when i said make making progress easy?

This means thoroughly learn about the topic and understand the system in which to obtain your goal. This is probably the hardest part for most people, education.   Knowing the how’s and why’s for yourself rather than trying to do (or be told to do) more and more of the same meaningless stuff you've done a thousand times without success.  This is the #1 reason why you give up on your fitness routines so quickly, repeatedly.

Instead of keep blaming yourself for your failure, you should try to be more self-compassionate of your mistakes, reflect what you did wrong (know the triggers) and aim to correct the system/methods you’re on to make it work better for you. After you have a good grasp of what it takes to get what you want, plan ahead to make executing these steps easier.

The less painful (or more rewarding) those steps are, the more likely you’ll be able to be consistent
with doing more work. You don't have to ask for more work but you should aim to learn how to do the same amount of work more efficiently.  Whatever you put in is what you’ll get out of, nothing more. If you have a skewed expectation on your return of investment, you’ll never even come close to getting what you want because you'll always quit right before you get to that next level stuff.

What does all this mean to real life for those trying to lose weight and look good naked?

Drinking shakes that promise increased metabolism which can be accomplished through simply walking more or having an outdoor hobby means you’re not willing to prioritize your time to make this happen. When you say you don’t have time, it really means, you don’t care enough. and if you don’t care enough, you don’t deserve the body you want.


Working out is for life, you have to bench and squat for years to get the type of size that other ppl be envious of. No muscle confusion, functional training, and superset training-mask HIIT routines on your favorite youtube channel are going to fast track this for you. There are better systems out there then what you’ve done and those systems typically involve more total workload as well. You have to love the process and worship the iron.

Taking fiber pills in hope to lose weight but can be accomplished through cooking and eating more vegetables. A skill your ancestors have practiced for hundreds of generations. If your reasoning is that they don’t taste good, you’re just making an excuse for not trying to be creative with your meal prep. There are tons of great recipes out there but you chose to be lazy. You chose to blame your work and your family for “I don’t have the time” and that's not right.  Your 24hrs is the same 24hrs as mine, it's how you CHOOSE to use it. Fiber pills don't work for satiation btw.

Buying into body contouring wraps (which doesn’t work) while you already know the way to “reshape” the body is through resistance training and eating less says a lot about your character.  The character of a loser. You lose money, you lose time, and you lose self-respect. And i can't believe how you can wear them so proudly on social media. and even worst, selling them supporting this industry of laziness.

If you’re the type that loves to read about “hacks” and how to “automate” fitness success and weight loss, my advice is to you is this. Make making progress easy to do, every. single. day. Get educated, cut out the fluff, plan ahead, no, seriously, plan ahead and get obsess like your life depends on it, and make doing these things easy do manage every. single. day.

Buy a recipe book if you have to. Go try out a new sport or an old one you used to love. Get a dog to walk with. Cut out Facebook time or hire a coach to give you a structured program to follow.

Whatever you have to do, remember, there are no shortcuts. There are better systems than the crappy ones you’re on but never be made to believe (from savvy online/radio marketers) that you don’t have to do WORK to reach your goal. Your body keeps a pretty good journal of the work that you put in, so start putting something meaningful in it today and many days to follow.
