I was thinking one day what it really and truly takes to reach your fitness goals. Whether the goal is to gain muscle, lose fat, run faster, or whatever, what does it take?
I started thinking about achieving my fitness goals, as well as helping those people I train to reach their fitness goals, and as much as I want to say that something like a new routine or the latest and greatest workout will help you reach your fitness goals, all it really takes is blood, sweat, and tears.
When you add intensity to your efforts towards meeting your fitness goals, you are much more likely to achieve them. Once you set your fitness goal, visualize yourself reaching it, then push it every time your workout to make it there.
Think of it this way: will taking it easy when you workout do anything? How about finding a comfortable amount of weight to lift, then doing the same amount every single time. No! The only thing that will push your towards your fitness goals will be working hard with as much intensity as you can handle! Lifting heavy, sprinting, and pushing it every time you workout will do it!
The majority of people don't workout hard enough to ever reach their fitness goals. If you want to reach your goals, you need to take your body past where it has been. If you repeat the same routine every time, with the same lack if intensity, expect to have less-than-acceptable results. Instead, sprint an extra mile, do that extra kettlebell swing, and choose the heavier dumbbell every single time you workout.
Whatever it is, push yourself harder, heavier and more efficiently and you will see results, guaranteed. There is no magic pill, nutritional supplement or super food that can do that for you. My unfortunate dose of reality is that changing your body is a grind where mental and physical weakness must be conquered and the result is a body you can be proud of. - 16004
