The “Hardcore Workout” Philosophy

The Hardcore Workout isn’t just a workout. It’s a frame of mind. It’s the idea that you’re prepared to push yourself that bit harder than the average gym user. It’s the willingness to face your demons, learn about yourself through training, and grow both physically and mentally through the challenges faced.

If you go to most health clubs these days, you’ll find an effort to make everything as comfortable as possible; TVs on the walls (and now often at each piece of Cardio equipment), gentle lighting, nice padded seats for all the resistance machines. I’ve even seen people reading newspapers while they’re allegedly “working out”. Now, I’m not into putting my clients through as much hell as possible, but the idea that training shouldn’t be uncomfortable and that you can sit and read a newspaper whilst training is just nuts.

You need to be focused on what you’re doing, you need to be fully committed to giving the best you can, if you want to achieve the best possible results.

Keeping workouts short because you are pushing yourself to the maximum, and couldn’t go for longer at that intensity, makes sense. Doing short workouts because they produce the best results makes sense. Keeping workouts short because you can’t find the time to train in your busy lifestyle, or because you find training boring is a different motivation. It lacks the willingness to make sacrifices to achieve results. It lacks commitment to the task at hand. People don’t achieve great results with half hearted attempts. So, look at your motivation for picking workouts.

Are you fit enough for “The Hardcore Workout”?
