Create The Environment For Fat Loss Success

By Scott Tousignant, BHK, CFC

What you are about to read is an excerpt from an interview that I did with Zach Even-Esh from the MP3 audio program, Unstoppable Fat Loss. If you adopt the mindset that we cover below and apply it to your workouts and nutrition plan, you can expect success and amazing results.

Scott: You talk about merely existing. Now when you see other people in the health club where they are just going in and they are not putting the effort into it. They are just going through the motions. Going through the movements. So, this type of mentality, this sort of not giving it your all, is one of those things that is holding them back Wouldn't you say?

Zach: It is, and you know, with anything you do you might as well go for the best, the absolute best with it. There is no sense for me to go 80 percent of what I could do, or half of what I could do. It is a big reason why I do not train at gyms now because the atmosphere is for the most part pretty negative. I am generalizing, I know that.

Scott: Right.

Zach: But I like to just create my own atmosphere and a lot of times that means I'm training outside, I'm training in nature. I am putting myself in places and in the state of mind that bring me joy, and make me happy, and make me feel good, because the results come that much better. Or I'm training at home, in my garage, in my backyard, in the place where I came play my own music.

Scott: Right.

Zach: It is all about putting yourself in the environment that makes you feel good. When people want an equation, I ask them to think about the places they go to most, the restaurants or wherever you shop at. Why do you go there? It's because of the experience, because you feel better there. I'm going to go to the restaurant that has the great food, and the beautiful music and the beautiful artwork on the walls. As opposed to the restaurant that has poor service and angry waiters and waitresses.

That is what you will stay away from. So, you want to apply those things to how you train your mind and train your body. Put yourself in the place, in the environment that brings you the feelings of joy and happiness, and success. That little thing will really springboard you into becoming a much more efficient, happier, more joyful person. You are just going to bring about a lot more joy to your life.

Scott: That is so true. I think that is awesome and very powerful. I mean I see it in your videos. You have converted your garage into your own home gym. And the type of atmosphere in there is just awesome. It just oozes positive fun. The energy in there, I can tell the guys you are training in there and that you are coaching, when they walk into that garage, how can they not push themselves hard and get their intensity level up.

I hear the music that you have pumping in the background and they are into it, but you have created that environment for them. If it were just dull and boring it just wouldn't have the same kind of effect.

Zach: Nobody would want to come.

Scott: That's right.

Zach: It's like the Starbucks experience. You know, we were just in Florida, and in Florida they have outdoor malls. It's beautiful. It's like California. You know the sun is shining everywhere. You are breathing in fresh air. Well Starbucks was packed. It was jam‑packed. There were people inside. There were all the tables outside. Why were they doing this? Is their coffee that much better than anywhere else? I am not really sure it is a whole lot better. It is very good coffee but they are outside. They are reading the paper. They are on their laptop. They are breathing in fresh air. They could be drinking something else for all it matters.

Scott: Right.

Zach: But it's the experience and the same thing when you are training yourself or you are training with other people. You want to create that kind of environment.

So we have all these motivational black and white photos up on the wall in the garage from body builders from the Golden Era which is when people trained just because they loved to train. We play the music. We just pump that music up because it puts them in a good vibe. It is not a place for them to be complaining but it's a place for them to work hard, have fun and we also train in groups because it is infinitely more fun. We put our guys together in groups of five and they work their tails off but they have so much fun. I mean I don't even realize that I am working when I am training all these athletes and that's what I do. I always hooked up with people who were motivated, always in good moods. It just elevates the progress much, much faster than like what I keep emphasizing, putting yourself in a crappy environment.

Scott: Instead of thinking of it as a chore, and something I have to do and it's out of desperation or I've really got to lose weight, you have created an experience where is fun and you enjoy the journey. I think that's really what it is all about. It shouldn't be the pressure of needing to get something. It's really loving it.

Zach: Yeah.

Scott: and what you have to do you have to create that environment around you. If you can't find it in the gym, do something in your garage or out in the yard. I have seen you with some pretty wicked cool exercises outside. Even with the picnic table you are lifting up there and doing different things. You can tell as intense and focused as you are, you're having fun and you are loving every second of it.

Zach: You got to love it. Anything that you love you will do. You'll do it without… I can't remember what the exact quote but it had to do with if you start to do something that you love you will never have to work a day in your life again because you don't realize that you are working. It's the same thing at least for me with my health and my fitness. I love to train. So it is not a chore for me. It drives me insane if I miss a workout. That's why I always allow time for a quick five minute workout, fifteen minute workout. If I have the time it may be 30‑45 minutes.

When we talk about training outside, fresh air will do wonders for your mind and your body and it is almost like a form of meditation. Most people don't get outside enough and I'm training outside, even when it is cold, when it is in the 30s and 40s, I will get outside and at least get some fresh air. Even when it is a little bit over 100 degrees hot and humid I am going outside. I am training. It's my freedom. It's a place where I lose myself and I find myself and anybody who wants to get results, you have got to do something that you enjoy, whatever kind of moving it is ‑ surfing, bike riding, playing soccer, playing basketball, volleyball. It might be lifting weights. Doing whatever it is that you love. As long as you are moving your body. you are on the right path. There is no one path or best path for getting fit. I think that we've put a limitation on what people can or can't do or what they should do to get fit and people are probably feeling like I don't like working out with weights or I don't like doing that and then they don't want to work out. Whatever you love to do that allows you to move your body, go out there and do it. If it brings joy to you, then that's what you have to indulge yourself in. That's what the human body is for.

Scott: Right.

Zach: It's for moving. It's for movement. So, I'm not going to tell people you should only be lifting weights.

Scott: Right.

Zach: Spring training is definitely my love but I love doing things like mountain biking, things that are outdoors, hiking, jogging, running with my dog. Those are the things that I love to do. If somebody likes to do something else, then that's what they should spend a lot of their time doing.
