We all want to get in shape. We read the magazines, we see the videos an we even talk to our more disciplined friends about how to get fit and stronger. It's not like people can't get in shape, its just having the structure and plans to consistently workout and stay regemented to get to the finish line.
All it takes is the first step
The best way to ensure suscess is to get a Fitness Professional ( aka personal trainer ). If you find the right one ,it'll take all the frustration away and you can begin to see measured changes in your body.
What are some of the qualities you should be looking for in a fitness professional? Here are a few:
- personality
- academics
- length in the field
- speciatly in the field
- success with clients
What's more important than the above criteria is "can you get along". Meaning are you compatible in personality and drive with your potential instructor. It's a relationship. If your not, you will have a hard time getting results.
All it takes is the first step
Once you find the right fitness professional then you can start your journey. But, you have to mentally and actively block out time in your daily schedule to make a commitment to yourself. If you don't take the time to schedule and plan your eating and training your odds for success are highly unlikely.
If you are a morning person exercise in the morning. If you are an evening person exercise in the evening. Don't try to be a morning person if you aren't. Trust me it won't work and you'll quit!!!
Once you figure that out you will be on your way.
All it takes is the first step
The ideal amount of time to begin training is 2- 3 x week. Any time a potential client says once a week and that they will workout on their own. It'll never happen. How can it?! You have no structure nor discipline to properly challenge yourself. Set aside 2-3 x week at your PREFERRED TIME and get going!
All it takes is the first step
Every 4 weeks you should be seeing results. If its weight loss 2 - 4 lb. a month is standard. If gaining muscle, 1/4 - 1 lb of muscle takes 4 - 6 weeks. In the beginning, we will be looking at fat mass loss. Over time we will be looking for muscle mass gain.
I hope this gives you an idea of what you should do as a first step on your fitness journey. make it easy FIND A FITNESS PROFESSIONAL !
