Do It Yourself (DIY) Vs Get A Mechanic

Here's an analogy, your car has been "running fine" yet there's been a strange noise coming from under the hood. It begins to concern you and you know you should take it in to get it looked at but your car is still getting you from point A to point B. At the same time, your windshield wipers need to be replaced. Every time it rains, it gets harder and harder to see anything. You eventually go to the local auto parts store and buy replacement wipers. Then a day later, the sound under the hood gets worse then stops completely. The sound stopped but so did your power steering and you notice your car begins to overheat. The should became a must. Not only that but now you have to get your car towed to a mechanic.

The same is true for our bodies. There are things that we know we should do but they haven't quite crossed over to a must do. Buying the windshield wipers is similar to making better food choices. The belt that eventually broke under your hood could possibly be something that you Googled or looked up on YouTube. It would take time to research, you would need to purchase specific tools and spend time on making the repairs. Most people opt to take it to a mechanic to get it done. The sooner the better, right? What if you made a mistake, false-diagnosed the problem, failed at being your own mechanic? More time wasted, more money wasted, and more frustration. Ultimately, we don't need a mechanic, we live in the age of information, we are capable of doing it ourselves whether we believe it or not. The truth is, we want a mechanic, we want it done right the first time, and as quick as possible so we can get back to going from point A to point B. The same is true for a fitness coach, we don't need a coach but we want a fitness coach. We realize that our health isn't just a should but a must, and we want someone to guide us on the journey as quickly and efficiently as possible. Helping us continue to lose weight when we hit a plateau. Helping us understand how much cardio is really needed and what exercises are best for the results that we want to achieve.

I've done both, I've handled my fitness journey on my own and I've been coached. I saw the greatest results when I was coached. The guidance and accountability changed everything. I dropped 30 pounds in 90 days while breaking personal records in many of my lifts. The difference was night and day.
