We are so good at over-complicating things.
A few weeks ago, my buddy picked me up at my house to hit the links.
He showed up like the Secret Service in his shiny, new, totally loaded, black GMC Yukon.
While we were taking off, I noticed that his dashboard had a live picture from a camera mounted on the front bumper.
I asked him, “Why do you have a camera in the front of your car?
Can’t you just look out the windshield to see where you’re going?”
He just shook his head, “I have no idea. It’s just one more thing that’s gonna break.”
And he’s right.
When we’re struggling with something, be it fat loss, sticking with a diet, following a workout plan, or building a new habit…
The internet is foaming at the mouth to sell us a complicated solution:
- Follow this diet that is based on your blood type
- Follow this “secret” and lose fat without working out
- Take this new pill and watch the fat melt
They want us to focus on tiny things that are very expensive and might result in a bit of progress.
Of course, we know that the simplest explanation is usually the correct one (Occam’s Razor).
For example, if we want to lose fat, we need to consume fewer calories over a long period of time.
Simple, right?
BUT, did you notice I said “simple”, not “easy”.
Working out, we should start with the basics – squats, hinges, pushes, pulls, and rotations.
And once you’re comfortable with the basics – keep doing them!
Simple. Effective. Manageable.
What part of your fitness and golf life are you over-complicating?
You’ll be amazed what “simple, done consistently” can do for us over the long haul.
Stay STRONG,
