Exercise is only a small piece of the puzzle in the bigger picture. If you aren’t consistently hammering away at the other foundational elements along with exercise you’re leaving a lot of potential result on the table. ⠀ I’m not saying that exercise alone is pointless. There are numerous physical and mental health benefits that have been proven to come with working out.

This post is more so for the people that decide to start working out 2-5 times a week, without changing anything else about their lifestyle, and expecting to drop 30+lbs in a couple of months. It ain’t happening. One of the most important things a trainer can do is manage a clients expectations. You have to understand what you’ll get and what you won’t from diet or exercise alone. ⠀ Identify what may need some change for the better in your life and start by changing it one small step at a time. -Go to bed 30 minutes earlier for 1 week. -Meditate for 5 minutes. -Put your phone away 30 minutes before bed. -Use hand portions to make sure you’re getting enough protein every day. -Add a glass of water before and after meals to make sure you’re staying optimally hydrated ⠀ Start small. Stay consistent. Improve over time. ⠀ ⠀ #exercise #healthandwellness #precisionnutrition #fitnessandlifestyle #biggerpicture #diet #nutrition #dietandexercise #bodybuilding #gymfacts #healhybodyhealthymind #healthymindhealthybody #flex #eatbetter #sleepbetter #betterresults #personaltraining
