The Fitness OutcomeBased Approach By Erik Ledin February 12, 2014 An important idea to keep in mind as you are working towards your ultimate body is “outcome based approach.” The goal of working out and eating right is to help you look and feel how you want to. If the routine you are using isn’t producing the results or outcome that you’re interested in then maybe it’s time to vary your routine. Continuing to pursue the same course of action will not change your results with time it will leave you stagnant. If you read in a magazine that you should do thirty minutes of cardio everyday followed by one hundred situps every other day and it doesn’t work for your body, don’t do it. Even if the work out seems great on paper, you need it to work practically for you and you shouldn’t have to waste your energy trying to stick to a work out that doesn’t give you results. Try different things until you discover something that will give you the outcome or the body/feeling you desire. Controversially, if you’re working out and loving what your routine does to your body, keep it up! The outcome is what you desire and this supports the idea of an outcomebased approach. If you are not getting the desired outcome you wish for your body, make some changes until you start to see the outcome you deserve. The trick is knowing how to time your approach. For example, if you have been at a routine for a few months and don’t see your desired results, change it up quickly! However, you want to give your body a little time to if there is any change as a result of a work out. This time period would probably about two weeks. After two weeks you can see if there is a positive change in the way you look and feel and then make adjustments to your routine accordingly without wasting too much training time. Always remember to keep your outcome and goals in mind.

The  Fitness  Outcome-­‐Based  Approach  By  Erik  Ledin  February  12,  2014      An  important  idea  to  keep  in  mind  as  you  are  working  towards  your  ultimate  body  is  “outcome  based  approach.”  The  goal  of  working  out  and  eating  right  is  to  help  you  look  and  feel  how  you  want  to.  If  the  routine  you  are  using  isn’t  producing  the  results  or  outcome  that  you’re  interested  in  then  maybe  it’s  time  to  vary  your  routine.  Continuing  to  pursue  the  same  course  of  action  will  not  change  your  results  with  time  it  will  leave  you  stagnant.    If  you  read  in  a  magazine  that  you  should  do  thirty  minutes  of  cardio  everyday  followed  by  one  hundred  sit-­‐ups  every  other  day  and  it  doesn’t  work  for  your  body,  don’t  do  it.  Even  if  the  work  out  seems  great  on  paper,  you  need  it  to  work  practically  for  you  and  you  shouldn’t  have  to  waste  your  energy  trying  to  stick  to  a  work  out  that  doesn’t  give  you  results.  Try  different  things  until  you  discover  something  that  will  give  you  the  outcome  or  the  body/feeling  you  desire.    Controversially,  if  you’re  working  out  and  loving  what  your  routine  does  to  your  body,  keep  it  up!  The  outcome  is  what  you  desire  and  this  supports  the  idea  of  an  outcome-­‐based  approach.  If  you  are  not  getting  the  desired  outcome  you  wish  for  your  body,  make  some  changes  until  you  start  to  see  the  outcome  you  deserve.    The  trick  is  knowing  how  to  time  your  approach.  For  example,  if  you  have  been  at  a  routine  for  a  few  months  and  don’t  see  your  desired  results,  change  it  up  quickly!  However,  you  want  to  give  your  body  a  little  time  to  if  there  is  any  change  as  a  result  of  a  work  out.  This  time  period  would  probably  about  two  weeks.  After  two  weeks  you  can  see  if  there  is  a  positive  change  in  the  way  you  look  and  feel  and  then  make  adjustments  to  your  routine  accordingly  without  wasting  too  much  training  time.  Always  remember  to  keep  your  outcome  and  goals  in  mind.      Erik  Ledin  earned  his  certification  as  a  Personal  Trainer  (CPT)  and  a  Strength  &  Conditioning  Specialist  (CSCS)  from  the  National  Strength  &  Conditioning  Association.  Additionally,  he  is  also  a  Certified  Kinesiologist  from  the  Ontario  Kinesiology  Association  (OKA),  as  well  as  a  Certified  Sports  Nutritionist  from  the  International  Society  of  Sports  Nutrition  (ISSN).  Erik  Ledin  is  a  regularly  attendee  of  the  national  conferences  for  NSCA  and  ISSN.  He  enjoys  converting  his  education  in  body  science  into  real  life  results  and  measurable  success.
