What’s up, guys? Jeff Cavaliere, ATHLEANX. com. Hey, the title says it all. I am going to show you today how to start getting some shit done!

Now, if language offends you, I have a lot of other videos that I’ve done where the language is not a little bit on the dark side. The fact of the matter is, this is something I’m very passionate about, and yes, I am a coach. Sometimes coaches have to tell you what you don’t want to hear. You know what? It’s usually that advice that gives you the biggest kick in the ass that you actually need to hear.

So here’s what we’re going to do. We’re going to talk about the one, most important thing to getting results no matter what it is that you’re trying to achieve. Obviously, here, if you’re watching this channel, you’re probably trying to change your body. You’re probably trying to get to another level of fitness. You’d better be consistent, because consistency is the key.

Now, I know you’ve probably heard that before, but I’m going to show you exactly how to be consistent. To do that, you have to first breakdown the two types of consistency. There’s a voluntary consistency and then there’s an involuntary consistency. Now, being consistent with bad advice is going to make you consistently bad. So you have to understand whether the advice that you’re being given, or the advice that you’re following is good advice, or bad advice.

But we can almost take care of that with involuntary consistency. What I’m talking about there is either being sick, or being injured when it comes to training. If you are sick, or injured, you’re not going to be able to be consistently. Involuntarily. You can’t do anything about it.

Your head might be there. Your heart might be in it. You want to train. Your body says “Screw you! You aren’t going to train.

” What happens is then you can’t get to the gym, you can’t get your results, and you can’t be consistent. If your program that you’re following right now – I’m going to talk about programs in a second – if it’s leaving you feeling run down, beat up, sore, to the point where you can’t even get to the gym, or find the motivation to get there – because you hate the whole process – and it’s causing you to miss workouts; you’re following bad advice. So you can pretty much ensure that you can detect when you’re on a bad path and when you’re on a good path. If involuntarily you’re getting shut down before you can start and play, you’re following bad advice. So let’s assume now that you’re following good advice.

If you’re here on this channel I hope you agree that you’re following good advice. Voluntarily, there are a few things I need you to do. Just a few. It’s going to work if you do this. The first thing you’ve got to do is stop making freaking goals, okay?

Listen to what I’m telling you. Goals are the “what”. Without the “why” they don’t mean shit. A goal could be “I want to get ripped. I want to get jacked.

” Even specific goals. I tell you here all the time “Follow specific goals. You make specific goals, you will get there. ” I want to be 195lbs by December 12th. Good for you.

Why are you doing it? If you don’t know what I’m talking about, watch this video that I put up over here that explains all about the “why” and how important the “why” is because the “why” will drive you to your goal if you listen to it and you let it drive you from within. The “what” is just a fantasy. The “why” is what drives you toward that “what”. So stop making fucking goals until you’ve done the “why” first.

Promise me. Number two: a famous quote by Steven Covey “Don’t prioritize your schedule. Schedule your priorities. ” Think about the difference there. What do we always do?

How are you going to make the time to stay consistent? You’re going to take your schedule and you’re going to figure out where in your schedule you can fit in what you’re trying to do. Where you can fit in your workout. That’s not going to work. If you want to be consistent you have to schedule your priorities.

In this case your priority is to workout. So, you’re going to put that in and start there, and work the rest of your schedule around that. Schedule some time during every day that you’re going to train. I will tell you this: ask your friends. All the friends that you know that workout all the time.

Ask them one question. “When do you train? ” Almost 99% of them will tell you the same thing. “I always train in the morning, first thing when I wake up. I always train at night, after the kids go to bed.

I always train right before I get home, when I get out of work. ” They stay consistent that way because they’re scheduled in at a very specific time every day, and it’s a lot easier to maintain that. The next thing I want you to do – again, contrary to a lot of the advice that you’ve been given, but I’m not going to bullshit you – take away your freaking feelings, guys. This is not a whole emotional love fest between you and your goal. It can’t be if you want to get there.

You’ve got to remove all of your feelings. If I told you to start having feelings about brushing your teeth, or taking a shower that’ would be the most ridiculous advice I’ve ever given you. “How do you feel when you’re brushing your teeth? Are you sad? Are you happy about it?

” You don’t think about it. You just do it. Every day. You know you’ve got to do it. You have to become a lot more pragmatic about your workouts.

This is not a “feelings” thing. This is an “I’m doing it. Period. End of story. I said I’m going to do it before work when I wake up.

I’m going to get out of bed, I’m going to get my ass to the gym, and I’m going to do it. When it’s over, it’s over. ” Be pragmatic about it. I’m not saying “No. ” What happens – so this leads me to the next point – what happens if you miss a workout?

Some people, because they attach feelings to it they go “Oh, I’m a loser. I’m a loser. I didn’t make it to the gym. I knew I couldn’t stick with this. I always give up before I start.

” No, now you’re attaching feelings to that. If you weren’t attaching feelings you’d say “Fuck it. It’s gone. Tomorrow I’m going to be at the gym. I’m going to do it all over again.

Tomorrow – I’ll make tomorrow my day. Today I didn’t do it. ” No feelings attached. You don’t have to be perfect to achieve your goals. Listen to me.

You do not have to be perfect to achieve them. You just have to be pretty damn good. If you’re consistently following good advice, perfection will never be needed, and you’re going to get to where you want to be. So never get so beat up on yourself because of that. If you remove those feelings you’ll be good.

Finally, some of you guys are going to love what I say here. Remove your options. Too many options are killing your progress. “I’m going to do ATHLEANX, but I just heard about this other program. Let me see what this one is like first and maybe – no.

you know what? I think there’s another – what if this style’s good? I like training like an athlete, but maybe this style. ” All you’re doing is intentionally delaying the inevitable. You want to do something, but you’re looking for ways to continue to stall your progress and give you a reason to not start.

You know you’re doing it, too. You’re constantly looking for options to confuse you, to load your plate up. Remove your options and you know what? If I’m the one you remove, so be it. So be it.

At least the one that you adopt: do it! Adopt a method that you’re going to believe in. The only thing that you need to do is know that you’re following good advice. We talked about that in the beginning. And make sure that it’s something that you believe in and knows they can take you to where you want to be.

Now, I stand up here each and every day and do a video for you guys each and every week, multiple videos because I know
