If you're like me—and most people, for that matter—you know that the biggest hurdle you face in the pursuit of fitness isn't the workouts or diet. Those things are a pain, but you know they work. Even if all you know about diet is that you shouldn't eat junk food like cakes, cookies, ice cream, or McDonald's for every meal, or if all you know about working out is walking, running, and pushups, you know enough to be in perfect shape because those things actually work. So, if the problem isn't knowing what to do, then what is it? It's simple—the main hurdle you face is you, or more specifically, it’s your brain, working against you. Yes, I know it sucks. But that’s actually a good thing, and let me explain why.

The very thing that's putting up so many hurdles and roadblocks—your brain—is actually your greatest asset and the most powerful tool you have. It’s your Mental Game, and if you can learn how to use it, make it work for you and not against you, then the game is yours and you win. After that, fitness and weight loss are just tools to be used in a much larger pursuit. This is the Mental Game, a switch of focus. That is what I do here at Fit Focused Ready.

A strong Mental Game helps you overcome the mental roadblocks your mind creates, like "it's too hot outside," "it's too cold," "I'll start tomorrow," or "you deserve some junk food, candy, or beer." These thoughts convince you to procrastinate or give up entirely. That's why I work out with you, so that when your mind starts to go down that rabbit hole of "I can't do this," I can say stop, ask "where is your mind at right now?" and show you how to refocus.

The Mental Game helps you see through these lies and focus on what you need to do to get where you want to go. It guides you in making the right decisions when faced with tempting options or when you're unsure if you can push through a challenge, like running to the top of a hill. It prompts you to question, "Is my brain lying to me?"

By mastering the Mental Game, you gain more power and control over your actions. But it’s even more than that. With a strong Mental Game, you have a clear picture of where you want to go and who you want to be, with emotion behind it. This shift in thinking allows you to take actions that reflect your goals, even when it's unpleasant to do so. When you take that kind of approach, results come faster than you ever imagined. Things that once felt impossible become hardly a thought.

There’s a reason they say fitness is 60% mental, but in reality, it’s more like 90%. After 15 years of training and transforming from an out-of-shape, chain-smoking binge drinker to an Ironman triathlete, ultrarunner, personal trainer, and running coach, I can tell you one thing with 100% certainty: fitness is a mental game. The actual fitness routine and diet are just minor details. It’s why so many different diets work for weight loss and why you can pick any type of physical activity to improve your fitness. Weightlifting? Sure. Running? Yep. Hybrid athlete training? Absolutely.

So, if anything will work, why do people struggle to get fit or lose weight? It always comes down to the mental game—your focus. At Fit Focused Ready, the aim is to get you in the best shape of your life. That's not done by making things complicated, it’s done by simplifying and strengthening. At no point should you be confused about what workout to do or how to do it. The same goes for diet; the more we simplify it, the stronger it will be. All so you can focus on the real goal: taking the right actions and pushing yourself to become the person you want to be.

After over a decade of training, I’ve figured out what Mental Game techniques actually work to keep your mind laser-focused on the future you—the fitter, stronger, and more motivated you. The person who has done the thing that you are trying to do. These techniques were learned by me going through hell to achieve that reality. I became an ultra-running Ironman and then assessed how I actually did it. And I can tell you, it wasn't the workouts that got me there; it was my mental game. My focus on where I wanted to go, the level I wanted to reach, and my ability to master the space between my ears to become that person. Workouts will always be hard; your mental game has to be stronger. These techniques were absolutely life-changing for me, and they will be for you too. Easy? No, but will they change your life? Absolutely. This is the Mental Game of fitness. Are you ready?
