Going from a sedentary lifestyle to an active one for Gamers can be extremely challenging, but it can be easier if you avoid these mistakes!
1️⃣ Not Setting S.M.A.R.T Goals
Goals give you direction and it can be used as a tool to indicate whether or not you’re making progress. Goals must be Specific. You must be able to Measure your progess. They must be powerful enough for you to take Action. They must be Realistic and achievable. Lastly, they must be Time-Based and have a deadline.
2️⃣ Not Following a Proven Plan
A goal without a plan is just a dream. A plan is like a map to your fitness goals. You can either create your own map and hope that you’ll one day arrive to your destination. Or you can use a map that has been proven to lead you to the right place.
3️⃣ Not Having a Coach or Mentor
Coaches or Mentors are like your travel guides. They are like your GPS device that guides you to your fitness goals. When you make a wrong turn that takes you off course, they help you reroute to your destination. They have the experience helping others achieve the results that you are trying to earn.
4️⃣ Cardio > Weights
Getting stronger by lifting weights is the number one priority for all Gamers. Whether you have a fat loss or performance based goals, Strength is an essential requirement for long term sustainable results in fitness and more importantly health.
5️⃣ Not Fueling & Recovering Properly
Recovery is more important than training because majority of growth happens outside of the gym. You only invest 60-90 minutes inside the gym training 3-5x per week. You grow in the 22-23 hours per day OUTSIDE the gym recovering through proper nutrition, sleep, and rest.
6️⃣ Not Gamifying Fitness
Fitness can be approached like any RPG. As you gain more experience, you get stronger, upgrade skills, and achieve new levels. With the right systems and processes, every Gamer can turn fitness into their own RPG adventure.
