Your fitness journey is a life long experience that will reward you with amazing benefits! If you follow these 4 tips I guarantee you long term fitness success!
Since 1999, over 10,000 fitness and nutrition books have been published that proclaim the answer to our ever growing obesity epidemic! There are 3 common elements amongst all of these books! The elements are group accountability, control your environment, and always be prepared.
1. Group Accountability- Remember you are your maker. Every repetition, every workout, every meal, every decision that we make will take you closer to achieving long term longevity. To be successful you must form a team of advisors to help you. Choose experts to help you achieve this goal. Seek the guidance of a qualified fitness professional to design your fitness plan.
2. Control your enviroment- The 10th person theory is relevant in all aspects of life. Surround yourself with people that will provide encouragement and help you grow as a person. If you have 9 fitness minded people that have one common goal to live that healthy lifestyle there is a good chance you will be number 10! Try to control your living environment!! Your home is your safe zone from temptations but if you have tempting food in your cupboards you will give in at your weakest moments!! I like this phrase “If you are a recovering drug addict you do not keep drugs on your counter tops”. Eliminate all temptations:)
3. Be prepared- If we fail to plan then we plan to fail! Sometimes we are unable to control the curve ball that life throws us. Here are 2 important steps to become better prepared to achieve fitness success!
-Prepare and pack your meals the night before.
-Pack your workout bag and keep it in your car.
4. Avoid Negative Energy! During your fitness journey you will have friends and family that will sabotage you. Avoid and learn how to handle the following comments;)
1. “Go on, just have one”
2. “Your only young once”
3. “You’re obsessed, do you ever stop?”
4. “You need to get a life”
5. “That sounds a little extreme”
The most successful fitness people realize that striving for perfection will only end in failure. Take baby steps each day that will take you closer to your fitness goals!
Every day is a new day and each day starts by tying your shoes!!
