Trying to tone arms without optimizing your thought processes is like trying to drive a car across the country without any gas in the tank. As Seth Godin puts it, the dip prevents most people from reaching their goals.
And this is where most women fail: they usually start strong, but once things get difficult they jump ship. Seth Godin called this the dip.
Why does this happen so frequently? Because we live in a culture obsessed with one-hit wonders. When in reality, the key to sexy arm success is the ability to sustain motivation for prolonged periods of time.
So what\’s the secret to beating the dip? Well, there are many ways to keep motivation high in the face of setbacks. Unfortunately, I can\’t discuss all of them in the space of a single article. However, I will give you 4 sure-fire strategies to help you stay motivated when trying to tone arms:
1. Use anger for sprints, not marathons. Anger-a form of stress-causes a whole array of biological reactions in the female body. Said reactions will make it extremely hard to tone arms. One reason for this is the secretion of cortisol. No matter how good your diet is and no matter how good your workouts are, if you are chronically angry, your body will burn through muscle. However, if you can control your anger and ONLY use it for short bursts of productivity (i.e., a workout) and then immediately shut it off, it will work to your advantage.
2. Don\’t be a perfectionist. If you\’re waiting for all the stars to be perfectly aligned before taking action, expect to wait for a very long time. Meanwhile, many women will be on their way to sexy arm stardom. Remember, if you want to tone arms, the majority of your results will come from the ability to just keep on going.
3. Use ridiculous deadlines for small milestones. Doing so will force you to focus on only the most important elements for getting the job done. The more time you have to do something, the more probable it is that you will focus on the unimportant. Furthermore, we have been conditioned by society our ENTIRE lives to respond to deadlines.
4. Expose yourself to what you fear, again and again. This is an extremely effective strategy for desensitizing yourself from what you fear. The key here is to take it inch by inch. If you are terrified of gyms, for instance, you could spend a couple days walking around a gym for a couple minutes without doing ANY exercise. If anybody asks you what you\’re doing, simply tell them you\’re checking out the equipment to see if the gym is a good fit. Once you are comfortable, you can begin exercise little by little to tone arms.
If you want to tone arms, you have to optimize your thought processes. Most women don\’t do this, thus most women don\’t have toned arms.
Now remember to start applying these tips today or else you will forget this information very quickly.
