Why am I not achieving my fitness goals?

 


Why am I not achieving my goals? Why am I not seeing results?
Many people ask us this its simple folks!
Get Smart Eat Smart Train Smart  Be Consistent/commit
If you aren't getting to where you want to be it could be one of  these factors or more are off kilter.

GET SMART That fad diet where you eat just cabbage or just drink shakes and no food or cutting carbs out of your life forever isn't going to work long term. What happens when you finish the diet or you can't afford to continue? Guess what, you stop progressing or even start to regress! A simple healthy balanced diet is what you need, one you can be consistent with and manage that's why it's called a lifestyle change.

Don't blame your workout if your going home and under eating the body is designed to hold on to fat it's main function is to want to survive and live and look after its internal organs. Losing weight and gaining muscle is low in the list of priorities for your body so  EAT SMART learn what your body needs. Same with over eating don't think because you go beast-mode in the gym and eat whatever you want going way over your caloric intake and eating unhealthy foods that good results will still happen, it just isn't going to.

Now if your diet is on lock, don't think you can go gym one day a week and train max effort and all your results will come.TRAIN SMART you've got to put in real work. If your workout isn't designed to get the results you want it's not going to happen folks. Same goes for over training in the gym 7 days a week twice a day, this it isn't going to cut it either if your not fuelling your body you will just end up tired, weak and in some cases sick because your body just can't cope. A well balanced program with resistance training, cardio and flexibility training designed to help you reach goals is the way to go.

 Now 'sometimes' some people can get food and training right but they still not getting there. BE CONSISTENT and COMMIT Choose a goal and set a plan to it and make it realistic and something that you can commit to stop starting and stopping with your healthy eating, stop changing your program stick with one to the end, consistency will get you results. Don't go out and rush and buy a crazy insanity workout if you can't even do a simply workout yet GET SMART  EAT SMART  TRAIN SMART be CONSISTENT/COMMIT.

We are all human and we fail. It's how you deal with failure that counts. We personally often fall In this last category. But we are real with ourselves and so should you be. 'Don't be upset with the results you get with the work you didn't do'


**** note If you feel you have all the areas covered and your still having issues perhaps speak to your health care provider or nutritionist you could have a deeper issue one example being metabolic damage
