My Bed Gave Me Abs... Here's How
Did I ever tell you about the time I got super defined obliques but just on one side?
It was ‘07/’08 and I was in the navy and deployed to the Arabian sea. About 3 months in, I started to notice that I was getting very defined abs but just on one side. It only took me until later that night to figure out what was happening.
You see, our bunks were stacked three high and I was on the top. In order to not step on the other guys racks I would jump up, grab the escape hatch handle and twist into bed.
Even though I was only getting in and out of my rack a few times in the course of a 24 hr period it was that consistency over the course of a few months that led to seeing a real change in my body.
The lesson:
Imagine if you stayed consistent for just 8-12 weeks. Not in a huge way. Just a couple small tweaks to your routine. Imagine the results you would see.
The formula for fitness success has not changed for me or my clients in years.
Simple + Consistent + Patience = Results.
Keep the workouts simple. Stay consistent. Be patient. Results will happen.
If you don’t know where to start I recommend my free 7 Time Saving Health and Fitness Hacks.
If you already have that for less than 10 bucks you can get my small PDF - Stronger, Healthier, Happier: 100 Fitness Tips for Busy Parents.
In both of those resources there are simple workouts, simple nutrition ideas and other tips to help you reach your fitness goal.
If you check them out, Fantastic. If not, you’ll have another one of these coming at you next Friday because I truly believe every parent deserves to live a strong and healthy life.
Always in your corner,
Ryan
