Hands on experience..

Learning is a process… I once heard a person learns 30% of information from what they hear and 50% from what they see. There is also another aspect of learning, learning from what experience. Implementation and hands on experience is a big piece to the learning puzzle.

This applies to every areas of our life. When a student graduates from college they do not know everything about their new career. At the point of graduation, the student knows just enough to get started. They will learn more as they gain experience and being involved in the new field.

This is how fitness and nutrition works. You can only gather a limited understanding through seminars, books and videos. The full learning experience comes when you begin to implement what you have seen or read about. So how do you get started?

Here are a few tips when you begin implementing a new training or nutrition plan:

  1. Be patient – G0od things take time.
  2. Ask questions – Find an expert that can guide you.
  3. Have fun - Change is difficult. Learn to laugh at yourself.
  4. Be Bold - Just go for it. Many people are timid when it comes to trying new things. Jump right in and start working for results.
