5 TIPS THAT TAKE YOU CLOSER TO YOUR GOAL

1. Commitment

If you don't commit, you will keep falling and you'll never reach your goal. Commitment and consistency are the magic words when it comes to fitness.

2. Go at your own pace

There's no one size fits all. You can't keep doing what your friend does or copying workouts and diets from the internet. If you want to improve, you have to beat YOURSELF! You have to do what is best for you. 

There are thousands of programs out there and all work. No doubt about that. But not all of them work for everybody. This is why the role of a fitness expert here is so important. Find a personal trainer who you trust and who will listen to you! Only following a nutrition program and performing a routine that is designed for your needs, will give you the results YOU want.

3. Progress

Fitness is not about being better than your friends or the other people at the gym. Fitness is about you. It is about being better than YOU were the day before. Find a program that suits YOU and follow it for 6-8 weeks. Each time try to make progress by increasing the poundage or by simply performing one more rep. And remember, ego is not allowed in the gym. Ego is the one who keeps you stuck. Ego is the one who prevents you from improving. Don't be afraid about lowering the poundage. This doesn't mean that you became weaker. It's just another technique to get you out of that plateau and become stronger.

4. Rest

Taking periods off from training is completely fine. Actually taking a week off from time to time is recommended for better recovery and muscle growth. If you don't feel like taking the whole week off, you can also get involved into lighter sports or just stretch and perform yoga. Whenever you feel demotivated and don't enjoy working out anymore, it is probably time that you take some rest. These are all symptoms of overtraining.

5. Chose the right competition

As i wrote above, the only competition should be yourself. Don't get me wrong, it's fine to have role models and looking up to people who inspire you, but you shouldn't compare yourself to them. This can not only demotivate you and make you feel bad about yourself, but it also prevent your from improving.  Instead, try to improve from your last personal best, whether it is body fat percentage or the weight you lifted.

You are unique. Nobody is like you and you are not like somebody else. Work on your beating yourself, not the others.
