Over the past few months, I’ve been working behind the scenes to build the best way possible to help you achieve your impossible fitness goals.
One of the best thing you can do is outsource your fitness. Not having to think about what you’re doing every day and just showing up and doing it is maybe the easiest way to improve consistency and achieve results. That’s why I don’t even bother programming my own workouts for myself these days – because even I need a coach! It’s just too much work to both plan out what you’re going to do and then stick to it when you have to do that in 12 other areas of your life simultaneously.
We’ve been working with some of the best coaches in the fitness space to build out programs – but as we built them out, it began to get 1) difficult to organize and 2) complicated for people who bought more than one to synchronize them across the board – making it hard to follow and stick with.
So, we’re changing that.
Introducing: IMPOSSIBLE Fitness app – the fitness app designed to help you achieve your next impossible goal in 8-12 weeks.
We’re currently launching with:
- Impossible Abs
- Impossible Strength
- No Excuse Workout
We’re going to be adding more and more over the next 6 weeks through the new year so the membership becomes as robust and helpful as possible.
Programs we’ll be adding soon:
- 5k Training (Beginner & Advanced)
- 10k Training (Beginner & Advanced)
- Half Marathon Training (Beginner & Advanced)
- Marathon Training (Beginner & Advanced)
- Ultra Marathon Training (Beginner & Advanced)
- Daily Training WOD
- Get Jacked Protocol
- Specific skill training blocks
Programs are designed to be 8-12 weeks to 1) maximize compliance and stick with it and 2) let you stack programs so you can build on them over time.
Each program comes with detailed programming and video instructions so you’ll know how to do every movement – every step of the way.
Now, if you’re a previous customer – don’t worry – we’re taking care of you:
- If you bought Impossible Abs – you’ll get an email with more instructions.
- Impossible Strength – same thing.
- If you’ve downloaded No Excuse Workout in the past, you’ll get an email with how to access No Excuse Workout on the app.
Once you’re in, you can check out the other workouts and then go from there.
It’s worth noting – one of my personal goals with IMPOSSIBLE is to take away all your excuses for why you’re not pushing your limits. That’s why – in the app – there will always be a free workout. All you have to do is create your account and login and then – even if you’re not training for a specific goal – you can always do something. No excuses.
For premium subscribers, we’ll be adding more and more goal-specific training over time and slowly replacing all of our PDF based downloads with app focused workouts. This makes it easier to access, easier for us to grow and update the content regularly and makes the content more accessible to everyone – no matter where you are.
TLDR
→ We’re putting all of our fitness programs into one app: Impossible Fitness.
→ You can create your free Impossible Fitness account from your computer.
From there you can:
→ Download Impossible Fitness on iOS
→ Download Impossible Fitness on Android
Then, pick your program and go to work!
To Joel (about your article Your Physical Limits Reveal Your Mental Limits):
There are a few reasons I both agree and disagree with said article, partially due to personal reasons.
To state my background, I have mild autism and OCD.
Yes, I can do most of the stuff neurotypical people can, but as much as I admire the motivation this article provides, it SEVERELY discredits/undermines the challenges people with either physical or mental disorders or conditions face.
It’s undeniable that said people with conditions like these (Tourette’s syndrome, ADHD, autism, cri-du-chat, MS, ALS, autoimmune disorders, and MANY more disorders under those categories either hereditary or environmental) are limited in certain aspects of life. This article’s argument disregards the fact that such conditions exist and some are as of yet incurable or untreatable in favour of pushing an argument that all limits can be broken both mentally and physically by merely exerting yourself physically, which I find optimistic, but flawed.
I will say this however: We still have time.
Time to change ourselves, the people around us, and the world, for the better, both mentally and physically, at least to the utmost extent that we can individually, so we can also collectively grow as a species.
The conditions I have listed aren’t merely limiting. They also allow us to attain new perspectives on life and also see how unique each person can become. The people with these conditions are not just challenged, but also inspiring. They live life to the best that they can and show us that no matter what, humanity will push through and make a stand for itself.
Some conditions may be more detrimental than beneficial (if indeed there are any benefits to the quality of life granted by it), but still they should not be discarded. Perhaps there should be ways in the future to fix the detriments and retain the benefits instead of cutting the condition out altogether.
This brings me to my last point: Our technology and inventions have improved by leaps and bounds with new discoveries every other year if not within months. Perhaps, one day, we will be able to transcend our previously held limits and be the very best we can be in both the physical and mental sense with the right implementation of future augmentations. Personally, I would refrain from extensively using cybernetic grafts or anything that changes my biology to the point it’s less human, but I would promote other means such as nanomedicine and other more subtle, internal implants that boost the capabilities of the human body and mind (though of course it must be sustained by regular challenges to reinforce the effects), but I’m partially digressing here. We can, one day, with the right technology and implementations, reach our fullest potential.
If anyone wants to reply, I suggest doing it directly here cause I barely ever check my email, just saying. 😐
Also, I hope Joel or any other member of Impossible HQ can take the time to give his/her thoughts on this following portion because I would like to know what their opinions are:
Personally, I admire the goal of this website and community, but I would suggest you all find ways to also motivate others to push both physical limits and mental limits not just through challenging the body, but also the mind, through seeing how much we are capable of both doing and learning. My personal aim is to improve others and myself both physically and mentally, which I try to do by learning medicine, psychology, martial arts and weapon usage. I feel that martial arts is a culmination in the usage of medicine and psychology as you can both improve oneself and others in both the physical and mental sense not just through communicating techniques and skills but also learning and communicating thoughts on how the body and mind can be improved. Sometimes competition is required, but its ultimate aim is to hone individual practitioners’ skills. It is also not unknown for martial artists to also be well-versed in medicine and psychology as well as even philosophy. Weapons are to me an extension of martial arts as the usage of weapons can also allow us to develop ways to recover from injuries inflicted by them and learn about the effects they have on the body and mind of both the user and the target.
I hope again that the community can offer its opinions.
Thank you.
