The world of fast fitness has undeniably invaded our culture. 30-day shredding programs, 90-minute abs, 6-week total body transformations. Yes, you can conceivably transform your body in a dramatic way in as little as 6 weeks. But what happens to it after the next 6 weeks? It’s natural to want to see the end result as fast as possible, but is the rigourous routine you undergo something you see yourself wanting to keep doing day in and day out for years to come? True transformation is sustainable for your lifetime, and let’s be honest - fast fitness results rarely last. For this episode of the GMB Show, Jarlo was so excited to interview a friend of his, JC Deen. JC is a fitness coach, writer, and self-proclaimed “former fat kid.” He focuses on physique transformation, and he’s the author of a soon-to-be released book, Stay Leaner, Longer. Listen close as JC dives deep into the true psychology of physical transformation and exposes a lot of biases that many of us aren’t aware that we’re giving into. Biases that lead us to choose fast fitness over sustainable long term habits that can truly mean the difference between temporary change and a transformation that lasts a lifetime. Probably the most compelling lesson comes from JC opening up about his personal struggles with weight growing up and how he finally reprogrammed his mind and body to shed the fat kid bias and become a lean fit health coach. What you'll hear: 4:30 - How transformation is a lifestyle change, not a short-term fix. 7:30 - Why it might seem like everyone else is doing great with their transformations while you’re struggling: It might be the survivorship bias. 11:00 - Why taking the first step can be more important than getting the exact result you’re looking for. 14:20 - The importance of support, in whatever form that takes. 17:20 - JC’s story of how he went from being overweight to being fit. 24:20 - How self-sabotage can effect your transformation and motivation. 31:15 - Why tracking habits is a good thing and how it will help you in future weeks or months. 36:00 - How inertia makes people lose ground and backslide, as well as a tip for not getting stuck in that cycle. 42:30 - How what you believe and what you think about will eventually express itself in your actions and habits. Support the show
