The fitness industry as a whole has become really good at helping people set target goals.
“Lose 10 pounds in 8 weeks.”
“Drop 2 dress sizes in 2 months.”
Perhaps the most successful fitness promotion of all time was a challenge that promised participants they’d lose 20 pounds in 6 weeks or get their money back.
Did it work? For most people, it did … for 6 weeks, anyway.
But what most in the fitness industry are terrible at is helping people change their mindset and behavior so they can finally experience long-term results and success.
For that, you need a plan.
An exercise plan and a nutrition plan … not one or the other. You need both.
You need a plan that’s realistic and fits your lifestyle. You’re busy. You have a full life. I’m guessing there’s no room in it for weighing and measuring your portion sizes.
We’ve all heard the cliche, “Failing to plan is planning to fail.”
When it comes to our health and fitness, it’s so true.
Each week consists of 7 days … or 168 hours.
Assuming we should be sleeping at least 7 hours/night (ahem), that leaves about 119 waking hours.
Now, with all the responsibilities that we have … work, school, kids, running a business, or all of the above … it’s easy to become overwhelmed and believe the following story that we tell ourselves.
“I don’t have enough time.”
It’s not that you don’t have time.
It’s more likely that you don’t have a plan for how you’re going to use the time that you have.
If that’s you, then try this.
Pick two things that you can do in the coming week that will move you closer to your health and fitness goals.
Then, write or type them into your planner and schedule the time to do them.
Having a plan and blocking out time for you will help you feel so much more in control of your time … and your life.
Most important … you’ll have a plan and you’ll be taking action, which is the only path to success.
