Defeating the Sloth

December 10, 2010

Apparently my last blog post resonated with a lot of people.

Sure he's cute, but he's also evil.

The Sloth.
The weird, unseen gravitational force that keeps you on the couch even though you know you should be working out.
The internal dialogue that allows you to just ‘eat’ when you know you shouldn’t.
Not the one that says “go for it, you can burn it off later”, or “you haven’t eaten that much today, you can afford it” but the one that says..”I don’t care”.
Defeating the sloth is the important first step in getting in shape.
The sine qua non if you will.
But the Sloth is tricky.
It can fool you into thinking you are taking action when you really are not.
Making lists is not defeating the sloth. Either is planning your nutrition or spending late nights planning out the exact sets and reps of your workout.
You may feel like you’re taking action…but you’re probably not.

First, I want to say thank you for convincing me to do Tabata! I was struggling to lose weight and Finally I found something that helped! I really appreciate your coaching! - Craig T.

Ever since I was convinced to do Tabata I have seen huge results, I lost 6 pounds and gained energy in the first 3 weeks. I have been working out for 3 months before I decided to do Tabata and I struggled to lose weight. At first I thought "How am I losing weight by bringing my heart rate up then cooling down then bringing it up again?" I don’t know how it works but it does! Thank you!! - Theresa F.

The first day of Tabata, I wondered WHAT AM I DOING - I AM 56 !! Five weeks later I knew that it was what I needed. I learned that I could push myself well beyond my comfort zone and feel good later. I have a marked improvement in physical as well as emotional endurance. - Lyn C.

When I was first told about Tabata I was very excited from the word go, however that excitement stemmed from the fact that I had no clue what it meant. I missed the first week of class b/c I was traveling for work so when I came in during the 2nd week I had some making it up to do. It was hard at first b/c my body wasn't used to working out at such a fast pace, but once I got into a rhythm I started to feel very good. These classes are no joke. If you stick with it you will leave there feeling stronger, healthier and overall better about yourself and what you've accomplished. I would recommend these classes to anyone. Darrin is a great trainer and he'll keep you going with his energy. - Jami L.
