Getting to your fitness goals

By: Justin D'Olimpio

You want to get into better shape, to drop the fat and to increase your tone and strength. It is possible to achieve any fitness goal when you strive towards it every day.

When you’re feeling motivated, and decide to set a goal, it’s tempting to become over-ambitious by setting multiple goals. While it’s great that you want to improve many things about yourself, the pressure of trying to achieve more than one goal at once will cause you to drop all the goals.

Focus in on the one goal that you really want to achieve first, and focus all of your efforts onto this goal. There will be plenty of time in the future to see to your other goals, but for now see your number one goal all the way through to completion. 

Another downfall that often results in dropped goals is the act of starting out too fast and too strong. If your goal in fitness is to drop 20 pounds and exercise 5 times a week, do not go out and hit the gym hard for the next 5 days in a row. You’ll be so sore that I guarantee you’ll stop all progress. Take a deep breath and remember that this isn’t a race. Start out slow and steady and gradually build as you progress toward your goal. 

Why is this goal so important to you? There are probably many reasons, and you should know every single one of them. Write down each and every possible reason you can come up with as to why your goal needs to be met. 

Get to know the reasons why this goal is so important to you. Along with thinking about your reasons for accomplishing your goal, it’s also helpful to focus your mind on how you’ll feel once you’ve done it. Dedicate some time each day to picture your new post-goal life. 

How awesome are you going to feel when you’ve accomplished this goal that’s been on your mind for so long? Pretty amazing. Fill your mind with that feeling of accomplishment well before you’ve finished the work. The more you feel connected to the end goal, the more likely it is that you’ll make it through. 

It is time to put your money where your mouth is. Invest in something that will help propel you toward your goal. When you shell out some of your hard earned money to aid in your progress, then you are going to take this process that much more seriously.
