19 Reasons People Fail to Achieve Their Fitness Goals

If your number is either but a 9 or a 10, I will not work with you. Why, insofar as you are not fervent to doing whatever it takes to reach your goals. If you say you are a 1-8 that means you get it right eighty percent or less of the time. That means that you will eat when and what you want and not stick to a program. That is like a rocket scientist at NASA that be sixty percent sure the left engine works on the spaceship we are sending to the moon. COMMIT!

By making exercise a priority in your daily planner you will not only have a sense of triumph by sticking to a regular routine, but feel more energized and less stressed when dealing with the daily ebb and flow of life. SCHEDULE!

Having a training partner also keeps your workouts fresh and fun. ACCOUNTABILITY!

Reason #5: You focus more on the scale (weight) instead of the tape measure (inches). Muscle is more dense than fat. Therefore, focus on the inches. Some of the fittest people look like they way twenty pounds less than they literally do since muscle can be deceiving. Also, you will probably gain one or two pounds when you inaugurate to exercise strength training promotes this. If the only thing you did was add one pound of muscle, you will ultimately lose five pounds of body fat within six months being muscle burns calories (fat) at rest and fat does not. FOCUS ON INCHES!

If it sounds too good to be true…it probably is. If a supermodel is the product, you will NOT look like him or her by “just using this product 8 minutes a day”!!! DON’T GET SUCKED INTO INFOMERCIALS!

Reason #8: You quit right in front of you are going to see results. In order to see measurable results, you need to stick with your new found exercise routine for 90-120 days if you want to truly make LIFESTYLE changes and maintain your results for more than a couple of months.

New found lifestyle habits are found through simple routines…something that you can implement and stick to without too much deviation from your current flow of life. SIMPLIFY ROUTINE!

Reason #16: You don’t let you can reach your ‘ideal’ goals. say you can get there. Write out EXACTLY what you want and the key…WHEN you want it.
