Did you know the long term adherence (and so success) rate for traditional personal training is around 20 – 40%?
Shocking right? But not surprising when you stop and think about it.
Common sense and basic knowledge tells us that if we want to lose that beer belly/wine waist, we should clean up our diet and start moving more.
But by the time we’re in our 40s and 50s we not only have complex hormonal issues to factor in but a lifetime of beliefs about ourselves and embedded habits. Breaking these can be tough.
The fallacy is that there are two pillars of weight loss: nutrition and movement, but actually there are three and the third, behaviour change is THE most important.
This is where the low success rate for a two pillar approach comes in, because if it feels too hard, for too long, we’re likely to give up.
Our motivation is finite, so once we drain the pool of resolve, old beliefs, old habits, old behaviours creep in…
We skip the workout, reach for the biscuits, pour the wine…
The results we’re looking for feel further away, and now we’ve got feelings of guilt compounding our fear of failure.
I know this, I’ve been there.
Here’s the thing…
Our self-identity is not set. Yes it’s highly developed and it feels like a part of us that is unchangeable, but actually we can choose who want to be and how we want to define ourselves.
We CAN shift our limiting beliefs that hold us back. We CAN cultivate new supporting beliefs and create new helpful habits… so we can step into a new version of ourselves.
When we do this backed with the actions we need for the results, then over time, an exciting transformation will take place.
Working on belief and behaviour change will shift those results from a 20 – 40% success rate up to an 80 – 90% success rate.
