At Providence Fit Body Boot Camp, we never stopped working and supporting our clients the entire time we were shut down.

Even with the fact that we were running sessions remotely, and watched folks workout in their spare rooms, kitchens, basements, attics and garages without equipment they STILL get amazing results.

We are on our third challenge since the closedown, and every challenge netted our members' amazing results!.

But how, you may ask? Werent we supposed to gain the quarantine 15?

Not Providence Fit Body Boot Camp members!! Instead of retreating and disappearing after closing our doors, we stepped up a notch, and delivered high-level programs for folks to follow at home, so all our members stayed in their routines.

Creative Programs and Move

We created programs to keep people engaged, and we continuously coached our members throughout the whole ordeal so they could create new habits and stay in top physical condition, while others regressed.

The main ingredient to success is to create a system of small habits and consistently adhering to them.

Its not about eating organic food, or exercising with fancy equipment, its developing the habit to eat properly, and to just move.

Once you adopt those habits, you can refine things, and move to the next level, but not until you create the basic lifestyle habits that will put you one step closer to your goals.

Ever know someone that eats junk food and candy all day, yet never gains weight?

We all do, then we scratch our heads and wonder, how can they eat like that and still stay thin?

Well here is a news flash for you. If you eat fewer calories than you burn, your body will be in a calorie deficit, and you will lose weight regardless of the quality of the food.

However, weight is not weight in the fitness world, and your body responds differently to different types of food. (I will explain that later)

You see that person that eats the candy all day?

Well, that candy you see them consume maybe a majority of the calories that they eat throughout their entire day.

Even if the calories are less than desirable, the person wont gain additional weight as long as their calories dont exceed the formula required to lose, or NOT gain weight.

I used to worry about eating the correct foods first then adopting a system to count the calories and macros.

This worked 100 % of the time when people followed the program, however, what I have discovered is that taking smaller steps more frequently enables a higher percentage of people achieving success with their program as opposed to trying to change someones habits all at once.

Since the gym closed down, we have incorporated new technology into our programs that keep people accountable, as well as shine a light on exactly how many calories one eats.

The new system also creates a formula to prescribe how many calories one should eat for weight loss or weight gain based on their height, weight, activity level, BMI, and a few other statistics.

This is where the system of creating better habits starts.

First, we get people in a calorie deficit and make them aware of what the food they are currently eating contains for calories.

We have a coaching app that adds all the calories and breaks down the macronutrients automatically.

At this point, we dont tell you what foods to eat, just maintain your calorie budget.

This goes against everything I used to believe in, because I am a big advocate of eating organic, whole, non-processed food, however, expecting someone to adopt the same principle from day 1 is overwhelming for some, and people were getting discouraged and not following through.

After 2 weeks of logging everything you eat, then we start to break things down more by prescribing a protein goal.

Remember earlier when I said weight is not weight in the fitness world?

I was referring to muscle weight vs. fat weight.

Even though that person that eats candy all day and looks the same, doesnt mean they are not skinny fat.

Skinny fat is when you are thin, yet have no muscle tone, and are still flabby and soft, regardless of your dimensions.

In order to build and maintain muscle, you need to do resistance training, and eat protein.

Heres where step 2 comes into play.

At this point, folks become aware of overall calories, so now we prescribe a protein goal for them, so they eat enough qualityfood to build muscle, yet still stay in their calorie budget, and avoid gaining excess body fat.

In addition to the food you eat, maintaining good habits such as water intake, and sleep are essential to achieving your fitness goals. We included that in our new system too, so you develop the habit of hydration and sleep along with the exercise and nutrition portion of the program.

So, in conclusion, I want to let you know that having goals is great, but creating systems to achieve your goals is essential, or your goal will never be accomplished.

I still believe that the body responds best to high quality organic whole foods, however, I realized that meeting someone where they are currently at, and making small minor adjustments to their daily routine and creating small regular habits, will set someone up for success easier than changing their lifestyle all at once.

So, if you are on a journey to get healthier and become more fit, start by creating small habits first, and just get started.

Too many people wait for the perfect opportunity, but there is never a perfect time to get started.

Instead of waiting til you buy new sneakers, go for a walk today. Instead of creating the perfect meal plan, start drinking more water now.

If you start small, stay consistent, and keep adding new and healthy habits to your routine, you will be destined for success.
