Most of us are self-indulgently inconsistent. We have a few good days and a few not-so-good days. Unfortunately for us, results come from consistency. Consistency doesn't mean perfection but it does mean executing the big rocks very routinely. We have to stop pursuing novelty at the expense of consistency. In today's episode I'm going to overview 4 strategies for becoming consistent so you can get results for the effort you're putting in! http://primalpotential.com/4-strategies-for-becoming-consistent/

I've been hearing a lot of things like:“Oh, I don’t want to lose any weight, I just want to tone my muscles” or“I want to lose some weight and get toned” What does that mean? What does it not mean? Let's talk about how to look toned. The reality is this: there's no such thing as "toning your muscles". That doesn't exist. It's crap. Now, I know what you mean. I get it. You want to look fit, lean and not flabby. You want more muscle definition. When we talk about how to look toned, that's what we're talking about. http://primalpotential.com/how-to-look-toned/

How to pay attention when your body is SHOWING you what works for you and what doesn't. http://primalpotential.com/what-works-for-you/

It used to be so easy for me to say to myself, "Alright! I'm really doing it this time! No more excuses! This is it for real! I'm ready!!" But it never happened like that. It just didn't. I became a master of talking myself into whatever choice felt good at the time. I'd say, "It's just this one thing, it can't possibly hurt" or, "I'll be extra strict tomorrow" or "I'll workout later and be sure to burn it off". I knew exactly what debates and arguments worked best. Those types of internal debates are what I refer to as "anchors". They hold you back. They pull you down. They drag you off course. Identifying these anchors and understanding how you justify exceptions is absolutely critical in learning how to stop making excuses. Because really, these excuses, these internal debates are the exact reason you haven't got the results you want. It's the "why" behind your inconsistency. In today's episode we're getting super practical (and personal) about how to stop making excuses by identifying how you justify and
