HOW TO BECOME A FITNESS MODEL - BE DISCOVERED | Page 7
At the end of the day you must decide what makes you most happy. Be very close to your peak condition and feel
good about yourself on a daily basis, succeed in your career and be featured in magazines, covers and TV ads? Or,
surrender to temptation and be temporarily satisfied?
Those are the reasons why I disagree that to be a model is either stressful to the body, boring or unhealthy. Yes it
can be all the above but it doesn’t have to be. It can be a lifestyle choice that at some point becomes effortless and
pain free. When you reach this point all you need are adjustments to your training and to make small nutritional and
hydration changes for one to two weeks to turn up to work in your peak condition.
All I hope now is that I have unlinked the usual “chicken & broccoli” idea to the fitness model, lifestyle perception.
In fact you can eat a lot and a variety of foods, especially vegetables, day in day out if you remain consistent with
your choices.
The most important key for success is the ability to delay gratification. Impulsiveness can be strong when we face
temptations. Sometimes the good looking dessert, tasty wine or having a sleep in sounds better than maintaining
your diet or planned training schedule. Although the temporary pleasure of doing these things may be nice, it
won’t take you where you want to be. The good news is that the self-discipline needed to take you there is like a
muscle: the more you train it, the stronger it gets.
Exercise and diet is similar to a savings account. The more consistent
and productive you become the better gains you will obtain. You can’t
expect to see significant progress at the end of the month if you are
not constantly making small improvements.
Decide what you dream of, what makes you happy and satisfied and
what your balance should be.
Start your career off right and get closer to your peak condition,
physically and mentally, one day at a time.
