We all have heard the well-known Aesop’s Fable of the Tortoise and Hare. In this story we see the obviously faster rabbit being matched up to notoriously slow tortoise in comparison, however as the story unwinds the careless inconsistent behavior of hare  lead to his own demise. While in turn the consist steadfast behavior of the tortoise paid off in the end.

If we are honest with with ourselves, all of us (including myself) want to be the Hare, live the carefree “Eat, drink & be merry” lifestyle. In reality the consistent tortoise lifestyle is more rewarding when we reach the finish line. The same is in fitness there is no shortcuts to “six-pack abs”! As much as we rub the magic lamp wishing to find the right portion or swallow the special pill, there is no way around following a consistent lifestyle.

Consistent lifestyle is the three “C’s” Triad: Control, Contract & Consistency.

Control is Safety.

Contract is contraction of the muscle being exercised.

Consistency is habit of exercise WITH proper nutrition.

The TRIAD of the Three “C’s” is a sure-thing of reaching your fitness goal.
