Phil Pierce - Fitness Hacks: Cheat Your Way to a Better Body Today!

Would you like to improve your body AND make it last?

Youll see the term mental resistance (and ways to beat it) come up several times in this book. In summary it is the conscious push-back we have in our mind when we think about something difficult, tiring or perceived to be hard work.

Its for this very reason that the many lifestyle changes promoted by the myriad diets, self-help gurus and other experts simply wont stick in the long term. They are easy to read about, easy to get excited about in some book or website, but once we examine the process further we realise it requires huge adjustments to our daily life.

In general we like our life the way it is; our brain craves stability and doesnt want this to change. When thoughts of a big alterations to our daily existence enter our mind they becomes an obstacle we simply cant overcome. It builds and builds until we discard it altogether.

Its for this reason that this guide takes a completely different approach.

Yes this book can change your life and massively improve your health, but not by making you undergo drastic changes or forcing you to face pain and suffering.

This book focuses on easy wins. The effective and fast lifestyle changes so simple that you barely even consider them, and ultimately find it easy to introduce them as part of a regular routine.

Consider driving a car. If you drive over a large rock in the road you will stop to get out and examine it, probably stress about it and the journey will be interrupted. But if you drive over a pebble, or even a series or pebbles they are barely noticeable, not even worth worrying about.

This book helps keep you on your fitness journey.

Routine is key

Or to put it another way, systems are key. Whether you are trying to lose weight, improve motivation or just have vague ideas of getting healthy, establishing an easy to follow system that integrates smoothly and with little-to-no mental resistance is the only way it will stick.

That isnt to say you should start developing a database or filling your calendar with notes and schedules (although that works for some). More that by setting up regularity with your activities your mind will find it much easier to deal with the actions and establish a base for your fitter life.

Create a simple schedule for your changes and start small. Once you successfully introduce one to your life move onto the next and so on. After a short time you will have established a solid fitness foundation for the rest of your life.
