Most people fail at achieving their fitness goals.
There are a few reasons for this, but the three steps I’m about to
discuss are absolutely critical if you’re to stop failing and start
smashing those goals.
Step 1: CREATE A CLEAR AND SPECIFIC GOAL
To reach the outcome you want, you must know precisely what you
want to achieve. This needs to be extremely clear, measurable and
have a hard deadline. If “I want to lose weight” is your goal,
you’re never gonna get what you want. “I will lose 30 lbs of fat by
8/19/21 on the other hand gives you something specific to shoot
for, is measurable and has a hard deadline. Determine what yours
is, write it down and read it out loud every day.
Step 2: IDENTIFY YOUR CURRENT HABITS AND THE NECESSARY ACTIONS TO
ACHIEVE YOUR GOAL
What does your sleep look like? How stressed are you? What’s your
current diet look like? How often do you train? How about recovery?
These are the questions that must be answered, because this is the
foundation to your results. Identify where you’re at, then identify
where you need to be 12 months from today to achieve that 12 month
goal.
Step 3: CREATE AND RELENTLESSLY EXECUTE A SEQUENTIAL 12 MONTH PLAN
TO DEVELOP THE REQUIRED SKILLS TO ACHIEVE YOUR GOAL
Now that you’re clear on your goal and identified the habits that
need to change, let’s work on the required skills that will get you
to the outcome you want.
Based on your current habits, pick the low-hanging fruit and work
on that for 2-3 weeks. For some of you that might be your sleep.
After that you work on daily movement for a few weeks, then more
fruits and veggies each day...
Depending on where you’re at, there will be a different starting
point for everyone, and different things to work on based on your
goals. But breaking down your goal, the required habits, and
reverse engineering them, it’ll be much more realistic for you to
achieve them. You’ll rack up wins, gain momentum, make progress and
eventually achieve the outcome you want. And because of the new
skills you’ve mastered, you’re much more likely to sustain those
results
