So What Does The New Apple iPad Have To Do With Successful Fitness Training For Fat Loss?

Ok, its HUGE – The NEW Apple iPad has been unveiled and it looks like a new category of ‘gadget’ is about to explode onto our lives.  But I bet it will soon become common to all of us and eventually we’ll wonder how we lived without it? Right?

So what can we learn from this new Apple release and apply it to our goals for fat loss, six pack abs, body transformation and lean muscle gain?

Well very simply its understanding the need to evolve from already solid foundations to guarantee growing improvement and continual results.

You see Apple know they have the best products, they know that by and large their way of doing things is infinitely smarter and ‘more user friendly’ and in turn they don’t just settle but look for major shifts in their results by building on their values and their brand.

In the fitness world there are always new ideas and new fads – the late night tv gadgets being some of the very worst.  But when its all broken down there are fundamentals of fitness training that guarantee results and give the person using them the fat loss they need, the muscle they want and the six pack abs they are desperate for.

It’s all obtained by using what works.  And once you know what works you don’t then go and try something completely different but you move onto similar systems that are an evolution of a proven fitness approach.  Same as Apple, how they are not just ‘shooting in the dark’ but building upon a proven base (the iphone / ipod interface and their millions of users)  – an evolution – NOT a complete change of direction.  Look at how quickly people will be up and running with this new and impressive piece of electronic equipment.  There won’t be a huge learning curve, but the flip side of the results and satisfaction people get will be huge and instantaneous.

Now in terms of fitness we know our fundamentals: We know what works…

Simply:

You need to burn off more calories than you take in

You need to use compound full body exercises to burn the optimal fat.

You need to create hypertrophy to allow muscle growth

you need to challenge your body’s limits to reach new levels of personal fitness.

These are some of the fundamentals – we then aim to build on them. We don’t use them for a while then discard them! No, we evolve with them.

After all, they are proven to give all people using them the results they crave – why discard them?

Then what we don’t do is go and purchase a new ab gadget or sign up for some new ‘wonder fat burning drug’.  The fundamentals are simple and have been proven and stand the test of time, much like Apple’s products (I am not saying all Apple stuff was amazing but at least they thought outside the box BUT could also back it up with results – I use both PC and Mac so I see the merits of both)

And now – as Apple unveils a new ‘category’ of device that will build upon their existing technology and user base ( * they said in the keynote about people being able to already use this new device as it follows on from the iphone and ipod touch which millions already use – smart idea – no need to re-educate – brilliant simplicity)

So in fitness this is the same approach we take as trainers and others take as trainees.

Use what is proven AND Progress by building upon it – using it as your constant foundation.

You know if you read my blog and my newsletters or use my products that I and other smart trainers I respect offer the correct types of training using only what is proven with our clients and customers – AND as we offer new workouts, diets plans, food advice, supplement news and so on we simply expand upon tools, system and products we know work.

In fitness as in life you don’t always need to re-invent the wheel.  No, smart people will evolve and use what is proven to change their bodies and progress along that line of change, knowing a positive shift in the proven is infinitly better and always will be than a huge desperate leap to the next new hype or hopeful gadget that is unproven for a reason.

So Let’s keep on the path to fitness success, body transformation, fat blasting results and all the muscle, conditioning and six pack abs results we want by working with the awesome tools and the new, better or modified versions of these tools.  And like Apple lets evolve towards greater success and not take blind jumps into the unknown – because when results are required we need to be smart.

Hope to see you soon either in classes or chat to you on the blog.  take it easy people.
