Every success leaves hints and clues. That’s why people study other people’s successes because there are patterns in it that can be copied. Those patterns trace back to momentum, consistency, routines, and the difficult first steps that successful people had to take. It applies even to workouts. Someone who can do a hundred reps of burpees first had to start with one. In this episode of The Fit Mess, Ken Wimberly shares his key principles to success. Ken talks about how one can discover their ‘why’ in life, why accountability is a fundamental piece to success, his routine of constant exercise, and the app he created that captures moments, memories, and lessons that anyone can pass on to their loved ones later on in life.
Find out how you can discover your ‘why’ in this episode of The Fit Mess with Ken Wimberly!
Why Accountability Matters
When Ken started his commitment to working out every day, he had no one but himself for accountability. He liked it that way. It was Ken’s way of proving that he could set it straight with himself. When he started progressing, people noticed and sought his help. He shared techniques with them as well as his own fitness goals. What Ken started later gained attention from his circle of people. From there, a text thread was formed. In this thread, the goal was accountability.
They started off with just three people. Then more people started joining in. The thread became a group of four, then five, then six. Because more people decided to join what they started, Ken’s text thread had to move to Telegram to add people more easily whenever. In this Telegram group, they share screenshots, workouts, and updates of each other’s routine. Ken’s friend, one of the members of his accountability group, is now preparing for a walking event in April.
