cos thats f-ing easy to see, right?

 

So if you already know what’s ‘human food’ and what isn’t

 

Then why do we ALL find it so hard to eat clean and hit the gym?

 

Well, it comes down to looking at the consequences of your actions

 

…and this is classic human nature btw…

 

We are all coded DEEEEEEP in our DNA to mainly look at short term results.

 

ever heard of first order consequences?

the end of fitness as we know it

my world has been rocked

 

is everything we thought we knew about fitness been wrong all this time?

 

If so, it would explain why so many of us fail to achieve our goals of looking and feeling better.

 

Here’s just a few points to think about:

 

HIGH INTENSITY INTERVAL TRAINING

 

We’ve been sold the dream that training at a maximal heart rate for repeated sets of 30-45 seconds will increase fitness and burn fat.

Jay's Tips: 5 Things NOT To Do Before Training

When we look at fitness and training at RSG we always try to first look at the science behind any fact that is thrown our way. The problem with doing that nowadays is that everything can be very easily ‘backed up’ by science and sometimes looking at the “facts” just adds to the confusion.

The main issue is that anybody and everybody can voice their opinion and due to the digital world, we live in, we can all see it.

what's in it for me?

there's only one thing that drives your motivation

 

it's the little nasty voice in your brain saying....

 

what's in it for me?

That'd be stupid, right?
