If you do what you’ve always done, you’ll get what you’ve always gotten.
Tony Robbins
What do you want in life? No really. What do you want? Do you actually know? Have you written it down? Do you make strides everyday to get closer to what you want? Are you taking chances that others aren’t willing to take to achieve what you want? Are you pushing a little harder than you did yesterday?
You need to be asking yourself these questions.
You must be consistent in your pursuit of what you want. And you always have to push yourself a little harder each day, week, month. Otherwise, like the above quote, you’ll continue to get what you’ve always gotten.
When we apply this to your fitness, we use the FITT principle. FITT stands for: frequency, intensity, time, and type.
When improving your fitness, you must always be improving on one of these areas.
It really doesn’t matter which one (at first).
You must increase the frequency (add more workouts per week), up the intensity (work harder), add more time, or completely change up what your body is used to doing (change the type of exercise).
So it’s important to be consistent in that you actually exercise each day, week, month, and it’s also just as important that you keep moving that bar higher.
Our bodies are always striving for homeostasis. They are always trying to become more efficient. To make things easier.
What does this mean? It means that we need to constantly challenge ourselves. Period.
The person who goes out and runs 5 miles each day (at the same pace) might think they are doing good. But the truth is they are going backwards, and getting less results each day.
You have the ability to just make these small adjustments, and improve yourself over your whole life.
If you don’t want to plan for this on your own, simply hire a coach to adjust your workouts for you. It’s as simple as that. Do it today.
