When you decided that you wanted to start a workout program, how did you decide
where to begin? There are thousands of options. Which one should you choose? Will
it work?, No one wants to waste time doing exercises that don’t get them in shape.
You may be one of those people who is just tired of going to the gym or someone
embarking on a new journey towards better health and fitness. Whichever you may
be, there are four things that you MUST have in order to have a Successful Workout
Program.
#1 MOTIVATION … Everyone wants to look good and be healthy and everyone is
motivated by something different.
For some people, it’s an event like a wedding or a class reunion. For some
people, it’s an emotion…something that they want, that they feel they MUST have.
Other people are motivated by competition and some through the fact that it’s just
fun! Which ever type of person you are, there is one simple fact…find what
motivates you and you’re guaranteed success!
#2 A SUPPORT SYSTEM … One thing is for sure! You need support from people who
are doing what you are doing and from people who have done it, but most
importantly, from your family/friends & loved ones. You need to receive positive
reinforcement and you’re going to need help…whether it’s watching the kids for an
hour while you workout, consistently praising you for your dedication and
commitment or eating healthy foods along with you…the support that you receive
from these people will have a profound effect on the success of your program and
on how you feel about yourself.
#3 A PLAN … Nothing in your life was achieved without some sort of plan and the
same goes for your workout goals. You need a plan! Not for the next 6 months, but
for tomorrow. You need to know, before you go to bed at night, what your workout
will consist of tomorrow and when you’re going to do it. When you wake up in the
morning, it should be one of the first things that you think of and you MUST follow
through with the plan!
#4 COMMITMENT/WILLINGNESS TO WORK HARD … It’s not easy to get into shape.
Nothing worth doing is ever easy and if it was, everyone would do it. Be Committed!
Have faith in yourself & keep working hard! If you stay focused, I promise that your
hard work and perserverance will pay off!
Now that you have the Four Things That You Need For A Successful Workout
Program, find it, start it and stick to it!
Yours in Fitness & Health,
