Podcast Synopsis - How To Get In Shape - Step 2
Last week we talked about how to develop CONSISTENCY as the first step in your road to fitness. In this episode, we talk about the second step in the process, ACCURACY. In order to make the most out of your workout, you want to make sure that you are doing all of the movements and exercises correctly. This may require getting a coach, or even something as simple as watching some YouTube videos. Doing 20 perfect pushups can be a lot better for you than doing 100 pushups with bad form. If you are going to put in the time to work out, you want to make sure that you are making the most out of it, you owe it to yourself. Be sure to subscribe to the podcast so that you will be notified when we talk about step 3 of 4, which is INTENSITY.

TRANSCRIPT:
What's up everybody? We're on part two of your fitness journey. On the first week we talked about consistency, ways to become more consistent in your workouts to make sure that you set your schedule and stick to it so now after a few weeks of sticking to it of going to the gym or to your group or getting the workouts in you're ready for step two. Step two is accuracy. What does accuracy mean could be called quality that could be another another way of talking about this step but i call it accuracy accuracy this is where you have developed the habit of getting to the gym that is no longer a problem you're gonna go there you're gonna get the workout in but are you doing the best you could possibly be do this is a this is where you might get a coach this is where you might go to youtube and watch videos on whatever it is that you're doing are you doing it to the best of your ability are you getting better at the movement are you doing the movement that you should be doing if let's just say you are doing push-ups are you going chest to deck or are you cheating that movement in some way and at first when you're when you're an untrained athlete and you're you're you're just starting your fitness journey literally anything is better than nothing so if you're doing half push-ups but you're doing them consistently you're actually getting stronger you're doing some things you're moving around you're developing that consistency towards your journey but after you do that after you get the consistency now it's time to work on the quality of that movement the accuracy learn how to do a proper push-up go all the way chest to deck fully extend on the on the up position same thing goes for a squat are you cheating that movement at all are you getting your hip below your knee are you fully extended on the on the when you stand up tall that's a proper squat can you get a coach to help you to learn these movements better or can you teach yourself on youtube there's some fantastic videos and resources on youtube and other places where you can go and you can learn how to do these movements better don't cheat the movements do the movements to the best of your ability and then you will be accomplishing two things now you've gotten the consistency of going and getting the workouts in in the in the schedule that you've set now you're working on the quality of the movement working on the quality of the movement is going to help you to get stronger it's going to help you to become more efficient it's going to help you to make improvements if you're just doing half push-ups or half pull-ups when you start working on the quality of that movement you're getting stronger throughout the entire position next thing you're going to be doing more right but first you have to get the movement done correctly first of all you don't want to hurt yourself secondly you don't want to cheat yourself you're already there doing the work why not do it the right way and in fact if it calls for a hundred push-ups you can do a hundred half push-ups or would it be better to do 20 full push-ups chest to deck all the way up probably better to do 20 quite honestly after you've developed the consistency now we're working on the accuracy so if you can't do exactly what the workout's calling for because you're not ready for it yet continue to work on the accuracy and i promise you you're going to get to that full movement and to what the workout's calling for much faster over the long run than if you're cheating the movement you're cheating the movement you're cheating yourself try to work on that accuracy get yourself a coach watch videos have people help you have people hold you accountable for the movement so if you are not doing it correctly don't let your workout partners just let that go they can call no rep they can call they can call you out and if they call you out don't get your feelings hurt because they're just trying to help you as you should try to help them if you see them doing it incorrectly now you can be a real pain with this but every now and then call somebody out it's gonna go a long way for them so accuracy is the second step towards your fitness journey first it was consistency getting to the gym holding on to that schedule and accuracy is next working on the quality of every movement that you're doing if you don't know how to do it get a coach do it right learn how to do it even if you can't do as many as it is calling for as a workout is calling for so first consistency next accuracy next week we're going to talk about the third step which is intensity.
