The great debate.

When one is looking to lose some weight and change their physique, we know diet is paramount (Well we should by now..).

But when it comes to exercising, how should you spend your time?

Doing HIIT workouts?

Doing hours of steady state cardio?

Lifting heavy weights? (One no one thinks of).

Well, it is a great question to have, and one that has a multi-sided answer.

First and foremost, it DOESN’T have to be one or the other.

You can, and should, do both.

BUT, when talking about which is more beneficial,

When talking about what is going to give you the best bang for your buck.. the most return on your investment (your time)..

There seems to be a clear favorite.

“When I do something I’m all in or all out”.

Well, actually…. You’re not.

See the problem is, being “all in or all out”, is not a real thing.

Because think about, if you were all in, wouldn’t you do everything you could to get it done?

And I’m not saying be perfect, but no matter what find a way to make something happen.

See people who say they are all in or all out, are really just anticipating future fear.

Fear of failing. Fear of not seeing it through. Fear of getting out of their comfort zone.

And by saying they can be all in or all out, it creates a safety net for them to then, when they feel like quitting, being able to and not feeling bad.

They are making up justifications for things that haven’t even happened yet.

I strongly urge you to listen to this podcast.

I talk in depth about this, and give my thoughts on alternative ways of thinking around this mentality.

Let me know if you enjoyed it. And please leave a 5 star rating and review on the podcast. It helps me out a ton.

Talk soon. -E.
