There is no doubt in my mind that you want results. Doesn't really matter if it is strength that you are after or weight loss I know you have started your journey to get visible results to satisfy yourself or impress the other.
Whatever your purpose is, follow the 3 habits to maximize your outcome.
1. Write A Goal
Clearly understanding your goal is by far the most important things you want to do even before start looking for a ways to do them. And I'm not talking about "want to lose weight". You might already know by now that that is not a good goal setting. Get a notebook and on first page write down your goal by following steps below.
Write down exactly what you want. ex: I want to lose 50lb in body fat.
Write down when you want it to be done. ex: I want to get this done in 6 month (ideally exact date).
Write down how you are going to monitor your progress. ex: I will use ### to monitor my body fat.
Write down why achieving this goal is important to you. ex: I need to show my kids that with effort you can accomplish any goals (Loved this one!)
Write down what you would do when you accomplished the goal. ex: I will go by new clothes with smaller size that I wanted.
2. Write A Plan
Now that you have your goals down. Next you need to know is how you are going to accomplish. This is where people start thinking about what they can do now. However, majority of time people fail because of it. Tendency is to make the plan more comfortable. But you will not accomplish anything by comfortable plan. What you should be thinking about while you are planning is what did people who accomplished the same goal that you have done. Use the second page of the notebook to write them down.
Write down what nutrition plan you will follow. ex. intermittent fasting with low carb diet.
Write down your grocery plan.
Write down when and where you will be working out. ex: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday at 12 pm at ### gym with a trainer.
Write down how you are planning to add more physical activity. ex. Park far to walk more, don't use elevator, walk faster, use basket instead of cart when shopping.
Write down what time you are going to bed.
3. Stick To The Plan
Now the goal and plan are set. Remember list above is just an example and you can add whatever it is applicable to your goals. However, the list above should be in there.
Next step is execution of your plan. Let me tell you this up front. It will not be easy. It will be inconvenient and gives you motivation to change the plan or quit. If you start feeling that way with the plan you have created, then know that you made an excellent plan.
In order to make a change, whether in strength or physique, you will never going to feel comfortable. Reason why some people hire trainer is to help them go through that.
Stick with the plan no matter what. Feeling sick? If you can go to work or school, then you can definitely work your plan. Feeling sore? That means you had a nice workout. Doctor told you not to workout because you sprained your ankle? You can work on upper body.
Do not compromise!
