10 Things Fitness Teaches You About Life

#1 Develop Good Habits

In order to achieve success, you must develop good habits.

We are creatures of habit.

Fitness isn’t just something you do in order to look great and lose weight.

Fitness becomes part of your lifestyle: it becomes habitual for you to work out every week and challenge your body weekly.

If we develop good habits, success becomes natural.

#2 Moderation

Everything in life is good in moderation.

You can’t diet 365 days of the year, and its good for your body to get a week off from exercise once in a while.

It is only when things become excessive: eating too many carbs, drinking too much alcohol, working too much: is when things go bad.

#3 Consistency Is Key

Consistency is key.

Some weeks you work out five times a week, sometimes only one.

The key is to remain consistent in your workouts in the long run.

In life you should never let go of things that are important for you, remain consistent regardless of the situation or challenge.

#4 Prioritize Your Life

Prioritize your life.

Take a step back and re-assess what’s important to you.

Fitness is part of our life because we understand that our health and our body improve the quality of our life.

Everyone gets busy.

We are faced with deadlines, overtime and stress.

However, regardless of how demanding our professional and personal lives are, we should always prioritize what truly matters.

#5 Quality Not Quantity

It’s all about quality not quantity.

It’s not how long you work out, it’s how hard, focused and intense you are when you do.

Similar to Fitness, in life, having an abundance of material wealth won’t necessarily provide happiness, however; the quality of the people and experiences that make up your life will provide happiness.

#6 Care For Yourself First

Take care of yourself first.

By focusing on your health and prioritizing your nutrition, you are taking care of yourself first.

In doing so, you are now more capable to contribute to your friends and family because you did something small that was positive for yourself.

If you are physically, mentally and spiritually stable, you can give more to those you love.

#7 For Every Action, There Is A Consequence

For every action, there is a consequence.

Training takes dedication, commitment and sacrifice.

Constantly re-strategizing your fitness goals takes long term visualization.

Every choice in our life has a consequence, by understanding long term results we can make better, rational choices today.

#8 If You Fail To Plan, Plan To Fail

If you fail to plan, plan to fail.

If we want to achieve something great in fitness, we must understand nutrition and exercise.

After understanding how each component is important, we can better execute.

Like any life situation, you must first understand what it takes to get somewhere and then go!

#9 Be Open-Minded

Be open-minded.

New studies in nutrition, exercises and health related diseases are always coming out.

Understanding the body and the way it functions takes years and years of comprehension.

Our knowledge in anything is always limited, once we feel that we know it all, we limit the opportunity to continue learning.

#10 Focus On The Travel, Not The Destination

Focus on the travel and not the destination.

There is always a challenge ahead … there is always a weight we want to lift or a muscle we want to define or ten more pounds we want to lose.

As we continue to grow with age, new challenges in our health will arise.

But in order to enjoy life, we must enjoy the process of it and not focus so much on the destination…because once we get to our destination, there is always somewhere farther we want to reach…this desire to resist complacency is what creates success.

Well,  the first week of the new year is here. Here is a quick post on how to reach your goals. At the bottom of this post I already shared with you my goals and resolutions for this year. Please share with me some of yours.

In a famous study in 1953, the graduating seniors of a major university were asked if they had written goals, and plans to achieve them, after they left the university.

It turned out that 3 percent had written goals and plans. 14 percent had goals but they were not written. The other 83 percent had no goals or plans at all, aside from getting out of university and going on vacation that summer.

Twenty years later in 1973, they followed up on the graduates in this study and asked them, among other things, about their financial situations. They found that the 3 percent of students who had clear, written goals and plans upon graduation were worth more than the entire 97 percent of graduates put together.

What does this experiment have to do with your fitness goals?

EVERYTHING

You see before we start an exercise plan, we must write down our fitness goals.

This automatically starts to program your subconscious towards achieving your goal.

Imagine that you have two drivers, each with a brand new Mercedes-Benz.

They both set to travel across the country toward a distant destination.

One sets off with no road map, navigation, nothing.

The second driver takes the time to plan his trip carefully using road map, navigation and getting advice from people who have traveled that path.

Which driver do you think will reach his destination on schedule??

The first driver might NOT even reach his destination.

Your fitness goals are pretty much the same.

People with clear, specific goals and plans that they work from each day, accomplish on the average, ten times the result as others who don’t have a clear idea of where they are going or when they want to get there.

Again as always having a blast bringing you my latest thoughts and inspirations.
