If you fall off the workout wagon, you’re likely to fall headfirst. Here’s how to steel your self-discipline for any challenge.
Tip 1
Make Specific Goals: Set goals you can achieve in a week or a day. Set one you can achieve immediately to build early confidence in your long-term fitness pursuits.
Tip 2 Visualize Your Goals: The more specific your goals are, the easier they are to visualize.
Tip 3
Write Down Your Goals And Look At Them: Write down every lift, every rep, and take time to assess your performance. A daily log archives success, so your grandkids can see how you did it.
Tip 4
Learn To Make Sacrifices: To reach your goals, you're going to have to pay a price. This price might be as simple as skipping dessert, or as difficult as spending time away from your friends and family. See them as a daily test of your will.
Tip 5
Prove Them Wrong: Every time you push up a weight or complete a superset, you've proved someone wrong, some fool who said you couldn't.
Tip 6
Work On Your Weaknesses: We all have weaknesses, glaring or secret. Strength training is the antibody of weakness. Reverse weakness and watch your confidence soar!
This is all very true. Not easy at first but true. I think that when it comes to fitness, if we stick to a program long enough we get to a point that it gets to be kinda a lifestyle and that is when we get blown away at the positive changes that happen.
