Don’t Wait Until Monday. Start Tracking Your Fitness and Nutrition Now

Build momentum instead of waiting for perfection

If you’ve been reading these articles since August last year, you will be on your way to having the tools, knowledge and confidence to design your own body recomposition strategy.

It’s easy to delay getting started by focusing on collecting more information instead of getting out there and implementing it. This is a mistake — you’re better off starting with a basic strategy that improves over time instead of trying to perfect your strategy before you get started (perfect will never happen).

I can tell you that there will rarely be a better time to get started than now. As the old saying goes: the best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago, and the next best time is now.

The longer you put it off, the older you get, the less fit you become, and the more weight you are likely to gain — which will only make improving your training and nutrition harder.

If you’re setting a start date in the future, ask yourself if it is really because it is a better time to start or if you are avoiding getting started now. I’m sure that comes across as lacking empathy, but it’s quite the opposite.
