What is going on, everyone.

Welcome to the fit, healthy, and most of all, happy podcast.

As always, I am your coach and host, Josh, here with my co-host.

KG and the house.

And today we're going to be dropping a bomb on all of you.

We're going to be hitting you with some hard truths and telling you seven reasons why you

aren't making progress, or rather you're not getting the progress you deserve to be making. So a lot of the time, especially with new coaching clients, they'll reach out, we'll assess their situation. And these tend to be the seven things. You know, I took some time this morning, 30 minutes to really think, why aren't people getting good results and how can we rectify that? So make sure you're listening, make sure you're being honest with yourself. Don't you back, oh, that's not me. Because you might be surprised by some of the things we say here. So let's jump right into number one. So number one. And one thing to also note is this is definitely not just for beginners. Literally, even if you're intermediate or you've been doing this for a while, a lot of people can definitely fall into these categories, you know.

Number one is just simply doing a program made for someone else. So we talk about this a decent

amount. It's because we're so passionate. If you're doing someone else's program that isn't specific

for your restrictions, your goals, the amount of days you can work out, where you're at on your

fitness journey, how your

body moves and all that stuff, you are going to be highly mistaken down the road. It's not going

to get you the results you deserve. So I highly, highly, highly recommend either taking the time to

create it yourself or if you don't have that type of expertise, just hiring someone to create

a custom program for your goals and where you're at in your fitness journey. And once again, really take the time to be honest. So this, be like, oh yeah, but I bought a routine of a girl I know that looks really good. So I want her routine. Yeah. It's like you hold the phone where, you know, just because it works for her, you know, it's what sells well. It doesn't mean it's best for you, right? Like, you really need to have your situation manage, you know, do you work out three days a week,

five days a week, six days a week, can you only work out once a week, can you only work out once a week, can you work out twice a week? You know, what does your gym have? Do you work out at home? Cool, Are you working on the park with bands?

All right, let's make it work.

You know, like what's your experience level?

What are your goals?

What's your volume tolerance, right?

Like, you can see how many variables there is. It's kind of ridiculous just to take the same routine and say, oh, this is going to work for me. So, you know, you can really be shooting yourself in the foot too, especially a lot of time people be like, my glutes won't grow and I'm like well look at your program you're doing hip thrust like twice in the week

and that's the only glute work I see like you have no like posse or chain work outside of that like how could you expect development there right or my strength isn't growing in this particular lift it's the same situation get a customer routine number two is looking for a type of dieting to solve all your problems and this this, oh, this is a big one as well. You know, if you're somebody just goes, you know, I'm on it. When I'm doing my keto, just recently, actually, I was out like to dinner with like a different couple that I didn't know before. And the one dude there was like, yeah, like, you know, I lose a ton of weight with keto, but then, you know, the weekends come. I'm out with my boys and I all tend to gain, you know, all the way back and a little bit more. And I just got to be better with it. You know, and I'm like, oh, you know, like if the problem with that is like it will work, but it only works when it's convenient. Like, and don't get me wrong. Some people do keto and it's great. And if you do power to you, I'm not trying to take anything away from you.
