Whenever a new year rolls around people flock to the local gyms to make good on their new years resolutions. It's great to see people wanting to take action towards living a healthy life but it's sad t think that 80% if new gym members will not continue into February. Why is this? How can the rate be so high of people that stop going after their goals within one month? I'll try to explain it the way i see it every year. It's not easy, people think that they can make huge changes in short periods of time and when they don't see the results they give up because it seems unattainable. First i think you have to look at how long it took you to get to your current situation? After that set the expectation that it'll just as long to get out of that condition and into one that you are happy with.
Setting a realistic expectation will certainly improve your moral and have you in good spirits as you workout day in and day out. If you are doing it for all the right reasons and you believe in yourself, you'll have no problems getting to the gym on a daily basis and eating properly. Another important part that goes along with that is the mental aspect of achieving your fitness goal. Always remember it's a 3 pillar approach that will keep you up [Physical, Diet, Mental]
For myself this year is one of transition as i've recently moved to the west coast of Canada and have planted the seeds of exciting things to come. I've got a number of big plans and goals to go after including breaking the 200 pound stage weight come show time. This would be a 15 pound muscle gain this year and it's a goal i'm actively going after. On the marketing front i also want to get back to writing more, giving back, and utilizing video.
Let's make this a year to remember!
