I got so
caught up in this year’s fitness goals that I completely forgot about something
that I usually brace myself for this time of year.
But no
sooner had I stepped into my gym a week or two ago than I was sharply reminded
of it.
Reminded of
what? you may ask.
The New
Year’s Resolution crowd.
They come
every year like snowbirds to Florida; they’re so predictable, that I can
literally set my watch by them at the stroke of midnight each New Year’s Eve.
And they’re
so easy to tell from everyone else, too. They show up in January in flocks and
droves so thick that there is literally a line in front of every piece of
equipment at the gym.
Then around
mid to late March, they start disappearing one by one like game birds being
picked off by hunters. By April, they’re pretty much all gone.
These
seasonal “birds” are the joke of the gym every hunting season.
The question
is, will YOU be one of them?
Because you
certainly don’t have to be. Everyone who’s in shape now was once someone who
was just getting started or getting back on the horse after “letting themselves
go” a bit. So getting a fresh start is nothing to be ashamed about.
In fact, it
should be applauded. Getting started new and fresh means that you have stepped
up to the plate to do something that so many people at home just are not
willing to do for themselves.
The trick is
not to let it all end just as quickly as it started.
I’ll give
you the secret to being the last man or woman standing when everyone else has
“flown back north” because they couldn’t hack it.
Set your
weight loss and fitness goals NOW. Make them as specific as possible. The dress
or waist size you want, your perfect weight, the outfit you want to wear, the
reaction you want to get. Write it all out.
Studies have
shown that written goals are more than twice as likely to become reality than
those that are not.
Then when
you go to the gym, forget about everybody else. You heard me right—EVERYBODY.
Don’t pay
any attention to those toned physiques that look like they must have taken
years to put together. Pay no mind to the show-off in the corner doing some
fancy upside-down exercise with chains, ropes, and 2 machines. They aren’t your
concern.
It's all
about you.
Your body.
Your goals. Your workout. Your results.
Go ahead and
take that “before” picture. Look at it every day as you work away from the old
and toward the new you.
If you can
just make it through the first few months you’ve greatly increased your chances
of being around for the long haul.
Don’t cheat
yourself by being one of this year’s gym casualties.
…And if you
can’t make it to a gym, that’s all the better. Do the YourBestBodyNOW 15 Minute
Workout at home and find a place close to home to get in your cardio.
The only thing that can keep you away from your goals is you.
Don’t allow
that to happen.
Start this
year strong and dig as deep as you can to make sure that you keep it up until
you get exactly what you want. You can do it, I know you can.
