The Results You Reap are Directly Proportional to Your Efforts

Body transformation does not come easy.  Change, in general, does not come easy.  It is uncomfortable.  It makes you feel uneasy.  Change demands dedication and sacrifice.  Change pushes you out of your comfort zone.

If you want to transform your body, you have to put a demand on it that is greater than what it is accustomed to; a demand that is out of your comfort zone.  You have to train hard.  You have to give 100 percent of everything you have to give to your workout - to yourself.  You have to breathe heavy, sweat, and lift heavy (yes, ladies, you too).

Getting out of your comfort zone does not only apply to the effort you bring to each and every workout session, it applies to changing your lifestyle habits as well.  You may have to get up earlier to fit in your workout.  You may have to sacrifice lunch with co-workers a few times a week to fit in your workouts.  You may have to give up some TV time to prepare your foods for the next day.  Changing your daily routine can be uncomfortable, but the results are worth it.

I cannot guarantee that you will succeed, but I can guarantee that you will not be successful if you do not make the effort and get uncomfortable.  If you do not put in the effort, if you keep doing what you have been doing, you will be left with what you have.  The results you reap will be directly proportional to your efforts - directly proportional to how far you step outside of your comfort zone.

“Move out of your comfort zone. You can only grow if you are willing to feel awkward and uncomfortable when you try something new.” - Brian Tracy
