Do you keep "falling off the wagon"?  

If you answered yes, this episode of Next Level, is for you.  

My guest, Joel Freeman, is committed to helping you live a happy, healthy life long term, and helping you find the right approach for reaching your health and fitness goals. A Beachbody Super Trainer, Master Fitness Presenter, creator of LIIFT4 and co-creator of CORE DE FORCE, with over 15 years of experience, he has become one of the leading personal trainers in the industry.  

Joel is motivated by one thing: making a personal impact on people's lives and helping them see that it doesn't always have to be difficult to make the necessary changes. You don't need quick fixes and you don't need fad diets. You don't need to overcomplicate nutrition and fitness. And, you don't need to make it unmanageable in your day-to-day life. In this episode of Next Level, Joel explains what you can do instead. 

My favorite thing Joel said in the episode was, "People always come to me saying they keep falling off the fitness wagon and it makes me so frustrated. If you keep falling off the same fitness wagon, you need to think about whether that wagon is working for you or not. Maybe it's time to get on a different one. You need to be flexible in how you get there. Plan A may not be right for you, so you need to be open to Plan B or Plan C. This is why I don't believe in wagons. I believe in paths and finding the right path that works for you." 

Joel raises a great point. If you are constantly falling off the fitness wagon, you need to evaluate what you are doing and why. 

Is your diet or fitness routine leading you to your short-term goals by encouraging you to use fad diets and quick fixes? Or, is it leading you to your long-term goals that provide you with lifestyle changes you can remain consistent with for life? Are you on it because you know it's what's best for you and your body, or are you on it because everyone else has hopped on and you're just following?  You need to look inward and be honest with yourself: Is what you're doing to reach your goals maintainable?
