Why Consistency Is Fitness Magic (and It's Easier Than You Think)

You have likely heard me mention how, when it comes to overall and general fitness, being consistent with your daily movement (and workouts) is more important than how intensely your work out. But I haven’t spent as much time explaining why that is or how you can use that information. So when I saw a friend of mine posted an image that read “We can’t have long-term success if we keep investing in short-term solutions,” I knew I needed to have him as a guest on the Get-Fit Guy podcast.

We can't have long-term success when we keep investing in short-term solutions

My guest on this episode is Dean Dwyer, author of the book, Make Shift Happen, creator of the Extraordinary Willpower course, and the host of The Mindset Show. He is a former educator who now spends his time teaching others how they can be successful in their own lives to change how they look, work and live.

Here's the quick version of why I invited Dean on the podcast to talk about consistency. On July 19, 2019, Dean was 53-years-old and very unhappy with the state of his body and health. He was overweight, not able to do the things he wanted to be able to do, and could feel age creeping up on him. After some amount of wallowing (this is me speaking as his friend), he really turned things around.

Fast forward to now. Dean is 55-years-old and it's not an exaggeration to say that he looks like a new man. But, and this is even more important, he doesn't just look different—he can do things with his body that he couldn’t do when he was younger. Which, as he will mention later, is something that somewhat flies in the face of conventional wisdom. I mean don’t we all fall apart after we hit 40? (I say that with my tongue firmly planted in my cheek.)

So, as I always say when I have a guest on the podcast, please consider listening to the audio version of this episode by pressing the play button at the top of this page. But if you can't listen or prefer to read, here's a transcript of what Dean had to share.
