Fitness Model Body

You've seen the Bowflex commercial more times than you can count.  You know what you want.  You want a body like that fitness model in the commercial.

Here's what you need to consider; 

  • Those bodies were not built on a bowflex.
  • Those bodies were not built in 20 minutes per day.
  • Those bodies do not have "other jobs".

First, those fitness model bodies were not "built by Bowflex".  They were built with Free Weight Training.  Once built, they could possibly be maintained on a bowflex, but the bodies that you're admiring were forged with barbells and dumbbells.  With years of training, dieting, and self denial. 

Are you prepared to do that?  If not, you may need to reconsider your goal.

Those fitness model bodies are a product.  They don't have "day jobs".  They are paid because they look like that.  That is their job.  That may make it easier for them to put in the time, and go without the endulgences that most of us don't.  I would submit to you that if you were going to have your picture taken in your swimming suit, and have that placed on a national ad, you would probably find the choices easier to make as well.

It's easy to look at an image on television and say, "I want that".  But what you don't see is the lives that those fitness models live day to day to have those bodies.  I would ask yourself, if you had to make those same day to day, hour to hour choices, would you really be happy?

It's as simple as this….  If your body lived their day to day life and routine, your body would look like that too.  But it doesn't.  Because your body lives your day to day routine.  The more that you bring your day in line with theirs, the more your body will start to look like theirs.  But if you are not willing, or are unable to make that a reality, you need to set more realistic goals based on what you can do, or should I say, give up.

Having the body of a fitness model is attainable for most people, but few people really understand what's going to be required to get it.  Once they get the reality, they usually find that they'll be able to live with an "almost" fitness model body.
