Why do people fail to reach their fitness goals?
Here are the facts. People invest money and sign contracts for gyms and fitness centers each year. More times than not, people do not go consistently; and because of that, they do not make progress when trying to achieve their fitness and weight loss goals.
Research shows that in each new year fitness centers and gyms see a significant increase in attendance and membership purchases. Come February, the attendance decreases significantly. Around 90%!
Here the top reasons why we fail at achieving our fitness goals:
- Not knowing where to begin or what to do when working out.
- Not setting appropriate or achievable goals.
- Lack of consistency or follow through.
- Not setting a deadline to accomplish an achievable goal.
- Looking for that quick fix instead of putting in the time and effort to create a lifestyle change.
People see the most success with following a basic set of guidelines:
- Track your progress.
- Hold yourself accountable.
- Get help from a certified personal trainer. One that will help you stay on track, as well as coach you in good fitness and wellness practices.
- Set achievable goals.
