The Body Recomp

Let's address some of the most common concerns about getting started...

1. "I don’t have enough time in the week to workout."

I'm only asking for 5 hours! That is less than 3% of your week! This accounts for the strength training and mobility training. Even if you are not following an organized training routine, you should be getting more weekly activity than that anyways.

Humans are meant to move!

2. "I don't have access to the right exercise equipment"

Many of the exercises in the Body Recomp are body weight only and require no equipment. The other movements mostly require common gym equipment like dumbbells, barbells, adjustable bench, etc.

If you do not have access to a particular piece of equipment, don't worry! I will help you come up with an alternative. You will not be missing out by using a different exercise variation. The exercises that are included in the Body Recomp strength training program are only a tiny fraction of the possible exercises that could have been used. 

3. "Eating healthy is too expensive."
How expensive is being chronically sick? Or constantly functioning at less than your best?

Firstly, most people end up saving money when they begin eating a healthier, more well-rounded diet because of all of the overpriced junk and processed food and drinks that are eliminated from the diet.

Secondly, higher quality food is substantially more nutrient-dense (this is scientifically proven), so in effect you are getting more nutrition per dollar.

Thirdly, a better diet allows your brain function better, meaning you will make smarter decisions regarding your relationships, career, business, investments, etc.. Who knows how much this is worth to you!

Lastly, there are many hidden costs of a poor diet, such as medical costs, loss of productivity, low energy, and overall worse quality of life. 

Eating as healthy as possible is one of the best financial decisions you can make!

4. "I have a bad back, knees, shoulders…I'm just getting old."
Your body is constantly trying to regenerate itself and will be able to do so if you give it the proper support. Some tissues grow faster than others (e.g. muscle tissue vs ligaments), but most everything has the capacity to heal over time with proper nutrition and appropriate stimulus.

Sure, some major injuries (complete muscle tears, ligament reconstruction, compound bone fractures) may not heal exactly as they were pre-injury, but everyone has the capacity to improve. In my experience, the vast majority of people who claim to have a “bad back” have easily correctable muscle imbalances in addition to a diet that triggers inflammation, exacerbating joint pain and stiffness.

5. "I get bored with training and don't have any motivation."
Nothing is more exciting than seeing progress! The point of a training program isn’t to entertain, it’s to get results! Your energy and enthusiasm for training will increase as you adapt to the routine. 

Changes in mindset follow changes in physiology!

6. "I like food too much to go on a diet."
 This has got to be one of my biggest pet peeves! As if achieving a “good” physique (whatever that means to you) implies that you must constantly deny yourself of any enjoyment of food. Nothing could be further from the truth!

If you feel this way, you are probably stuck in a routine of eating the same few empty-calorie foods that leave you feeling unsatisfied, resulting in constant cravings and food addiction. This is not a result of anything unique to you, it would happen to anyone with the same eating patterns.

Your taste buds may need an adjustment period when transitioning away from a diet based on highly processed and adulterated foods towards one based on nutrient-dense whole foods. As you introduce a greater variety of foods, your palate will recalibrate itself and you'll come to realize that good taste and good nutrition are one in the same.

8. "What makes this program better than the countless other fitness program out there?"
Firstly, it's not the actual strength training program that you'll receive as a part of the Body Recomp program that is unique. Sure, it is thoughtfully-designed and will produce great results, but it's honestly nothing special. That's one of the reasons why I'm glad to suggest alternative exercises when necessary.

What is unique, is that everything in the course and your coaching sessions is intended to help you to reconnect with your intuition so that managing your health and physique becomes second nature.

I recognize that there is no such thing as the "perfect" training plan. Any routine repeated over and over will eventually become stale and lose efficacy.  That's why what you learn from the training program is so much more important than the actual program specifics.
