Spread The Word

Why I Wrote This – Spread The Word:

If we all showed we cared more about each other, by helping one another, the world would be a better place! I care about people, and love to see them happy with their health, family, fitness, and business! If writing this can make a difference in making anyone’s life better, then it’s all worthwhile.

Many people have asked me how I train and ask for tips. Here are the common observations and questions I get:

• Big, stocky guys ask me how to get more defined or ripped.
• Lean guys ask me how to bulk up and get stronger.
• Women want to know how to get rid of fat areas, but don’t want to look bulky or masculine.
• Some women want to look muscular, toned and well-defined.
• Men & women want to know how to “firm up” and have more energy, besides just losing weight.
• People want to know how to start or modify their workout or use certain weights or machines.
• People ask my age, because they thought “it was too late in life” to have a good body.
• I see people doing improper form all the time, which can hurt them & minimize results.
• We all want solutions to mental challenges time to time and need a way to vent & feel better.
• People have many “mental blocks” to get started or restarted, and many require a “kick” start.
• I see people lacking self-confidence in themselves, energy and/or depressed, or stressed out a lot.

TYPICAL EXCUSES FOR NOT TRAINING:

“I'm Too Busy.”

• Response: There are 24/7 gyms everywhere – Anyone can add 30 minutes to an hour at least 3 days a week if they want to improve their entire life.

“It's Too Expensive.”

• Response - Compared to what? What’s the price for a better quality of life? Gyms start as low as $10 per month. You can feel and look better than you ever have monthly for less than a price of one meal.

“I'm Too Old.”

• Response: Proven 60+ year old bodies can train & be in as good as or better shape than younger.

“My Body Hurts.”

• Response: Get proper guidance to know what to do and not to do. Focus on the parts of your body that you “can” train and develop. There are 362 muscles in the human body. Train what you can!

“It’s Tough for Me to Get Away to a Gym.”

• Response: No problem, then workout at home, but know what to do.

“I Don't Have Space at Home for a Home Gym.”

• Response: Buy a 3’ x 5’ mat if you don’t have one, and buy 2 to 6 sets of dumbbells that are maybe one foot long each. Some are even contained in one unit to take less space.

“I Can't Get Myself Motivated.”

• Response: That’s because you don’t see enough value in doing it yet, but look at my 20 reasons below.

“I'm Far Too Out of Shape.”

• Response: Muscles and the body don't just stay where they are, for strength and health – if we “don’t” train and develop it best we can, it will keep going backwards with strength, and energy & appearance which affects our quality of life. If you’re overweight, what makes you think the habit you have will keep you from gaining more if you don’t change it now? You’ll love the “NEW” you!

“I’m Embarrassed to Go to a Gym to Show I'm Out of Shape.”

• Response: You can’t wait to get in shape to JOIN A GYM. We go there to get in shape. If you get to the gym, you’re already in the top 18% of the United States and are a winner just by being there because of that! I congratulate people all the time that are in the gym working out just for being there.

“I Don't Have the Energy.”

• Response: There’s been times in my life when I felt absolutely drained and wanted to sleep all the time due to some issues. I got mad and “forced” myself to get my heart rate up high with cardio and lifting while drinking lots of water to get fresh blood pumping through my veins to “wash away” whatever was causing it, sweat it out and immediately started turning things around. It was amazing!

MY PERSONAL GOALS:

• Make a difference in peoples’ lives to be happier and healthier to live life to their fullest
• Make it easier for people to know what to do for fitness for their particular bodies goals
• Get more people to the gym and/or working out at home
• Get more people motivated to not want to make excuses any more for getting fit
• Make people excited to want to train vs regretting it
• Helping people realize what they “can achieve” more than they realize
• See the “workout glow/smile” on peoples’ faces from their amazing results they did for themselves
• Continually share new knowledge to maximize lifetime results and enjoy the rewards in life from it

KEYS TO SUCCESS:

• DON’T THINK ABOUT IT! JUST DO IT!
• Remind yourself and keep your motivation reasons top of mind at all times
• Change current Habits and Commit your mind to working your plan with NO EXCUSES
• Pre-commit to Specific plan for days / times / location that you want/can train
• Create & Change Workout Plan as you progress to Maximize Results for your Plan & Goals.
• Train with Proper Form, Breathing, and Technique.
• Be project minded for your workouts within a timeframe vs just time alone. Have a plan to know what that is ahead of time, then finish your project / objective to ensure you work all body parts each week.
• Be Patient as your body progresses day by day to achieve your long term goals for a lifetime
• Be the Best “YOU” can be, and you’ll be amazed what you can accomplish.

MEASURING SUCCESS:

Compete with yourself as a % of Increase from wherever you started with! Our bodies were designed to use the muscles we have, or they will atrophy. Good news is, they will thrive and build muscle at any age. It’s common that people look at someone with body features they desire. There’s nothing wrong with that but keep in mind everyone’s genetics are different. Some people don’t have to do near as much to get a muscle to grow or react than others. Our bodies are all unique in our own way. Sculpt your own body to the best it can be and be proud of it. Most can have a better body than they ever imagined at any age. If we do our BEST in life, there’s nothing more, right? LePera Fit Training allows you to do just that. The training formula is the same for everyone, it’s just customized for your particular timeframe and level of training.

WHY MOST DIETS & FITNESS PROGRAMS FAIL

We are all creatures of habit no matter what we do in life, aren’t we. Good or bad. If we want to be or look a certain way, the key is #1 knowing how to achieve it. Then #2 forcing ourselves to change our “bad habits” till they become “good habits” naturally for a lifetime. Usually that can be achieved within 30 days if it’s the “right” changes. Possibly longer if due to an injury. However, it’s important to make your new habit plan realistic for “you”, not someone else, or the results will be temporary before you revert to your old habits. “Sound familiar”? I believe this is the key to why most “diet plans” fail, and people work out for a while, then stop. Because it wasn’t a realistic “lifetime” change or plan designed specifically for them to begin with. If it’s the correct change, your body will learn to desire it vs hate it. Then the change will last. Otherwise, most will revert to their old habits and sometimes even worse because they have deprived themselves of something for so long or were doing something they hated for so long. LePera Fit Training is designed to be a “livable” lifetime routine that you can do and will desire for a lifetime, with mild modifications if needed.

Bad Eating (Cheating) or Alcohol Drinking Recovery:

If I drink or eat too many carbs it turns into sugar and if I eat later than 8pm at night, all those snacks digest overnight in my stomach, which can cause restless sleep and increased weight and feeling groggy in the morning. This makes it tougher to work out the next day, too, but those are the days it’s most important for you to work out to offset the bad. When you force yourself to work out due to a hangover or lack of energy, it’s naturally healing because of the fresh, oxygenated blood pumping through your veins. You’ll feel practically “healed” right after the workout.
