Good Health Happens with Consistent Good Habits
After the holidays almost everyone feels a bit heavier and less in shape. That’s simply what happens from weeks of eating holiday junk food. So If that’s your experience, don’t feel alone. For most people the answer to getting back in shape is to race to the gym, and that’s why almost every gym is flooded for the first 2 months after the holidays. However whatever progress an individual makes often drops off as their enthusiasm and motivation drops off. After all, Running on a treadmill and lifting weights everyday really isn’t that much fun, especially if your progress slows down or you reach a plateau.
Real progress is made when a person stays consistent with daily good habits. A good analogy would be to compare fitness to inflating a flat tire. If you slack off, your progress goes back to square one.
You need to burn calories, break a sweat, and maintain a sensible diet continually.
Of course there are fad diets that help, but most extreme diets fail because it’s not practical to permanently avoid carbs, or indefinitely consume food at only certain hours the day. Whatever method you choose, consistency is the only way progress will keep in place. You have to keep active daily.
How do you keep Motivated?
If the activity that you are doing is enjoyable, that helps. Keep in mind that you need to elevate your heart rate and break a sweat daily. Soft workouts fall short of making significant progress.
So, Imagine playing a really fun game that left you pouring in sweat.
An activity that is so much fun that you lose track of time. That is what Jiu Jitsu is.
Fun Fact: One hour of active rolling at a moderate pace burns 700-800 calories. The added bonus is that most participants don’t even realize how hard they are working because of the fun they are having while training.
Jiu Jitsu is fun, But can you train everyday?
Yes, Absolutely, If you have a smart approach, and that is why TRUJITSU was created. To be more specific, you can train everyday with people more athletic than you, stronger than you, and faster than you, again, if you have the correct approach.
What if you are older? Is it practical to train everyday if you are past 40?
Yes! In fact in a typical TRUJITSU class it is not uncommon to see people in their late 40s or even over 50 rolling with people in their 20s.
The older participant may give up physical ability against younger student, but their approach is what makes all the difference.
If you have ever heard of a horror story of people getting beat up in class, that is possible but absolutely not neccessary. Thats just their environment, and the way they are being taught to train. Some people are raised differently. That may be their upbringing and environment, but that doesn’t have to be yours.
The correct strategy and approach can enable you train with anybody everyday, for years to come. And that is what TRUJITSU is.
TRUJITSU allows you to train everyday without the feeling of getting beat up everyday.
Not only will you be able to train consistently, and find better health, you will also develop confidence and motivation with everyday progress.
Soon the extra weight will be off, and the joy of training will keep you motivated to stay in the game.
Enjoy the experience and believe a healthier version of you is possible.
